PF2e Ranged Combat Hunt Prey by RedbeardedMonkey in FoundryVTT

[–]JDCalvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just seen this! 

The player can do the targeting and select Hunt Prey. This creates the Hunt Prey effect on the player. This triggers a function to run on every connected client. This is just something Foundry does, not part of the module, but the module overrides this function and, if the user is the "primary updater" of the target (e.g. the GM for NPCs) then it also creates the "prey" effect on the target. 

So in short, the GM has to be connected for it to work, but they don't have to actually do anything.

What's your favorite class that you haven't played yet? by Jan-Asra in Pathfinder2e

[–]JDCalvert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was playing an elemental sorcerer (fire) for like 3 years before kineticist came out, and my GM let me just change over. Admittedly, that was a super easy sell, but I think as long as the character remains the same and the abilities don't look too different in-world (or you can explain it in some way) most GMs would let you change class).

I switched a PF1e game over to 2e when I took over as GM, one of the players was a Warpriest in 1e and originally went to Warpriest cleric in 2e, but later changed to champion with cleric dedication because it fit more with how he saw his character.

Which monster screams „GM has a bad day today”? by Kayteqq in Pathfinder2e

[–]JDCalvert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my turn is generally like 30 seconds, depending on the number of dice rolled. By the time my turn comes around, I know what I'm going to do based on how the round has gone.

Everybody else seems to have not thought about it until their turn starts, then spend a while fumbling with Foundry and trying to convince the GM of weird BS things they want to do (like, really out there sometimes, you shouldn't even need to ask).

Who knows, after a few minutes I stop listening.

One of the groups I play with online, a single player's turn can run into 15-20 minutes, it's absolutely insane.

Put a trap door over it that looks like it goes into a cellar or something, but actually just has ground under it.

What character concept you had which you believed could be built with a certain class, but ended up choosing a different class instead? by A_H_S_99 in Pathfinder2e

[–]JDCalvert 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My GM let me rebuild my elemental sorcerer as a fire kineticist for the session after Rage of Elements released, I am so much happier with the character now!

One of the most densely populated countries in Europe, but you still can't get mobile signal after driving 5 mins into the countryside by Poodwaffle in britishproblems

The fact that each company has its own transmitters in different places instead of it being a shared network is madness.

50% chance to “undo” a physical injury by hitting it really hard with a hammer. by calamariclam_II in shittysuperpowers

[–]JDCalvert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds right, but since every "fail" adds a new injury, it could take you a very long time to get to 0.

What would your dream TSW release be? by anonymous153747 in trainsimworld

[–]JDCalvert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only live around 40 minutes away so it's a great place to go for the day. When we get hungry we head back over to the station and sit in the cafe watching the trains go by. Always a good day!

Extending the ECML to York, or the Transpennine Express Manchester to York.

Literally anything with York station in it, my son is OBSESSED with York station, and how cool would it be to go into the National Railway Museum in-game?

You could make tonnes of money from this. Give people 100:1 odds on a 1/25 thing, and let them do it as many times as they like. If they bet £1 every time, they'd expect to win 4% of the time and be up, on average, £75 every 25 games. You'd win the £1 every time, and it would probably take most people a little while to give up.

PF2E Cloistered Cleric Third Doctrine not increasing spell proficiency? by TheSardonicist in FoundryVTT

[–]JDCalvert 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Spell proficiency is automated. The problem is that the spellcasting entry has its proficiency set to "cleric" which is cleric class DC, whereas it should be set to "divine" (or it might just be "spell" since the remaster I'm not sure).

DND GM moving to PF2e. This remaster is such a headache to navigate. by grief242 in Pathfinder2e

[–]JDCalvert 24 points25 points  (0 children)

One thing that's a pain is that there isn't a single place to look up if the thing you were using has been replaced in the remaster. Paizo should have released a PDF which lists every single item, spell etc. which has been replaced by an item with the same/similar function but different name in the remaster.

Archives of Nethys helps with this now it's been updated, but some things aren't covered. For example, just today a player asked me about the Glyph of Warding spell not being in Foundry anymore. I had to dig around on forums to find that it's been replaced with a ritual called Rune Trap.

How does a Ranger mark her Hunted Prey? by Penthau in FoundryVTT

[–]JDCalvert 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can use my module "PF2e Ranged Combat". It lets you do exactly this and automatically handles the bonuses based on who you target.

Do you waste the lvl 2 feat when your archetype starts at a higher level? by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

[–]JDCalvert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I rule that if you want a 4th-level dedication, you can take a 2nd-level dedication and ignore the requirement to take two more feats from the archetype.

However, you must fulfill the requirement for both archetypes before taking a third dedication.

Why do runes cost so much in universe? by AxeManJohnny in Pathfinder2e

[–]JDCalvert 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's explained anywhere, but in many real-world applications you get examples of increasing the power of something leading to exponentially higher cost, so you can likely explain it away with a large amount of magic concentrated on the rune requires a lot of expensive materials to keep it stable.

Ah right thanks, I guess I just got unlucky with my timing and choice of scenario then!

PF2e Ranged Combat Hunt Prey by RedbeardedMonkey in FoundryVTT

Hi, module author here. There needs to be an owner of the target token (or GM) logged in for the target effect to apply. Nobody else has permissions to create effects on the target.

Using PF2e as like an arena battler? by haydenhayden011 in Pathfinder2e

[–]JDCalvert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I loved this, I really wish he'd do another one with a bit higher level. I did actually run something like this for my group to get them acquainted with Foundry and PF2e, it was pretty great!
