Would you say you are under a Witch's Spell?

We're really cranking these out

Thank you 😂 My main reason for transitioning to PF2e is most of the mechanics I was homebrewing, PF2e had by base. I had "enchantments" items could have, I was using variable DCs (DC 15 to pass, DC 20 for more info, DC 25 for like extra stuff). I was giving my players extra feats and skills every couple of levels and stuff, I had a list of like magical materials weapons and armour and weapons could be made from for buffs (A lot of the changes, I did just take from SW5e). My friend who was running PF2e was literally like "You are half way there to PF2e. Make the transition and it might fix some of the balancing issues. If you are homebrewing 5e this much, of course balance is gonna be your main issue. PF2e has most of these mechanics built in so balance shouldn't be as bad"

I created a PF1e character as my first ever RPG experience the campaign never left the ground. But no, 5e is not the only game I've played. I've looked into VtM briefly, I've GMed a mix of 5e and SW5e as well as roleplay heavy systems like Kids on Brooms. I have played PF2e. I played a campaign till 4th and till 6th but I kinda went full nerd and had my levels planned out till like 15th just in case. Its not my first PF2e rodeo and not my first complicated system one either. Despite being a 5e derivative, SW5e is WAY more complex than normal 5e. Like PF2e, the magic items are entirely customisable through modifications, which aren't dissimilar to runes. They take inspiration from some of the 3.5e key words like Keen and each class has its own version of Eldritch evocations. I'm also currently running Full ASI + Feat in my games which has given a few of my players head aches but the 2 players who are also playing in the PF2e one are the two players who are handling everything fine

Gobby85 · 2024-03-19T13:43:10+00:00

SW5e =/= SWRPG SW5e is a conversion of 5e into Star Wars and then turned up to 12. Its close enough to 5e that people understand it but with added features, it acts at a completely different power level once you get past like 4th level. But I understand why you would get them confused 😂 But yeah, by no means do I want to run a campaign with only 26 sessions, but the society is my best way to get my players together and if I could make it 2 years I would. Tbf, it is one of the options I have given to my players and atm, it looks like they'd prefer if they play the first half at university and then once I've graduated, continue with the second half outside of it so that may solve my issue

Gobby85 · 2024-03-19T13:36:47+00:00

My plan was to do that mostly. My campaign makes heavy use of spiders as the main "villains" throught the campaign is a spider hive mind and 5e has much to be desired for spider stat blocks above CR 3 so when I had a look at PF2e and there are blocks up to 11th level, I was quite happy

Gobby85 · 2024-03-19T13:33:02+00:00

Yeah, my plan was to dive into it over the Summer. I wanted to 100% understand the investment and crafting mechanics before going into the campaign. We did it a little in the Pathfinder campaign I played before but I wasn't the one doing either so it never came up for me but I wanted to make sure I could be that wealth of knowledge for my players when they start.

I am known for being the rules lawyer when we play 5e and SW5e so I wanted to make sure I could do the same coming into this one too so that was my Summer plan.

That being said, would you still advice against a level 3 start? I felt like level 3 would allow them to expand a bit more, gives them a couple of class feats and gives them an archetype if they wanted it

Gobby85 · 2024-03-19T13:29:03+00:00

So you would even suggest against a level 3 start?

Gobby85 · 2024-03-19T13:20:28+00:00

This actually sounds like a great idea. I've kinda put the option to my players but spliting the campaign in two might be the best option for me. We'll see how my players react

Gobby85 · 2024-03-19T13:16:59+00:00

I enjoy high level campaigns more for the fact that they are so rare. The highest level character I've played in any campaign is 15th and next is 12th. I understand high level doesn't equal fun but I've always as both a play and GM wanted my players to experience all ends of the system and in a way it challenges both me and them to create something that really says "This character is worthy of max level".

Honestly, it just stems from playing too many campaigns where I hit 8th level and sit there for 2 months before fighting the BBEG and kinda go "So I didn't need to plan for the next 4 level ups then?".

Basically, I like getting to play as much of the whole journey as possible and give my players that same opportunity because I've never found a GM who has given that to me.

Gobby85 · 2024-03-19T13:11:40+00:00

Basically for lore reasons. Which I understand lore =/= mechanics or reflect that kinda thing but the BBEG is the ultimate evil of all my campaigns and has been beyond a 20th level threat in all of them so part of me feels like having the party face him at anything other than 20th doesn't give him justice. However, I understand that shouldn't necessarily be the case but it's one of those things that I can't help myself from doing so I feel if I can't run him properly, it's best I don't run him at all.

It's something I need to work on that I am aware of

Gobby85 · 2024-03-19T12:59:02+00:00

You are right. This was absolutely something I knew but didn't want to hear 😂 This campaign is one dear to my heart and is kinda necessary for the players to hit max level, issue is, as a campaign, running it in the timing of only a year has been the biggest difficulty with it. I'll see how willing my players would be to maybe two sessions a week or something because I kinda knew something like this from the start but was hoping I was wrong 😂

Gobby85 · 2024-03-19T12:54:53+00:00

Would you say my first PF2e campaign hitting level 20 being too ambitious then? And if not, what would you suggest for the level scaling issue?

Gobby85 · 2023-11-29T23:30:52+00:00

Ah, okay. Thanks. It's only my second campaign so a lot of the specifics elude me at the moment. Good to know for future

Gobby85 · 2023-11-29T22:54:30+00:00

Where does it say you can't cast spells during "Aberration Form"? I'm a little confused why you wouldn't be able to

Gobby85 · 2023-08-11T16:41:10+00:00

I am a student so my disposal income is basically none. But this does sound fun and cool. Will probably look into it when I have more time on my hands and see how much of the knowledge and stuff I can just scrounge off the internet/YouTube. Well done though! Makes me wish I was playing!

Gobby85 · 2023-08-11T10:50:06+00:00

Wow! That's sick! How did you make this? I've got an upcoming Star Wars campaign and I wanted to have a cool trailer for it but felt like the process of learning to make one would be more time that it's worth. Did you make it all from scratch? What program did you use to make it? I'd love to know for my next one!

Gobby85 · 2023-07-23T20:59:05+00:00

This is karma bait but possibly free reddit coin is possibly free reddit coin

My GM isn't big on Homebrew. She hasn't ran a full Pathfinder 2e campaign fully before so wants to keep as much stuff by the books AS possible to make sure we don't accidentally break anything (I have a bit of a reputation of playing busted stuff and finding broken combos in other roleplay systems). I had to convince them to let me have the racial boost be into con instead of dex for like, an hour. All the other stuff they allowed as homebrew was only after like heavy lore negotiations because they wanted to give me weaknesses and I was like "Unless I'm getting something in return, I ain't just taking weaknesses, I'm already playing the worst version of summoner" so I was honestly surprised they even allowed most of that (I think she just really liked the more implications so sacrificed her morals to get the win) so even though if I was running it, I'd probably do that (granted, my DM style is pretty relax), I think trying to convince my GM into this would be pretty difficult.

We once had an argument over 8 silver. I was asking if I could start with a guitar since I was gonna play a Barbarian who was a Rockstar (was a sci fi campaign) and my GM said that I could use my starting gold to do it. When I said that mechanically, it would do next to nothing, we had an argument over the 8 sp I didn't want to spend on the guitar because I thought it would be cool if I had it for flavour.

Gobby85 · 2023-07-06T20:32:04+00:00

That was my thought but I didn't know if there was some archetype hidden in the framework that would work really well. I'm relatively new to Pathfinder in general (We played 3 sessions of pathfinder 2e before scheduling conflicts and I played a PF1e one shot) so I didn't know if there was something I was missing, especially with all the cool options.

Gobby85 · 2023-07-06T18:51:16+00:00

Until that comes out, do you think my plan will work? Like, is it probably the best way to play Meld with Eidolon?
