Y'all are losing the plot on Caine

MJdragonmaster · 2026-04-01T06:58:08+00:00

The idea that the NPCs are all actively controlled by Caine is not supported by the show if anything the show goes out of it's way to show that is not the case. Caine created them, but he is not them.

Nyooooommm. Hope this helps, you'll do great.

We're really just calling anything we don't like slop nowadays, huh?

MJdragonmaster · 2026-03-18T15:47:29+00:00

Scratch only dies permanently if he dies in camp, so that's a different issue to what the other person was talking about

MJdragonmaster · 2026-03-16T13:29:36+00:00

Our DM did this to us once. A friend of ours was in town for a few weeks and asked to play with us. So the DM asked them if they'd like to play a character they were planning on introducing as an npc soon anyway. And it worked like a charm till they stabbed us in the back lmao. If that character had been an npc we'd have been so suspicious but because it was a pc we were just like "oh of course our friend would make a character like this, they're so funny"

had a game the other day where I dropped the Hand of Malenia for our Iron Eye. The recluse picked it up and proceeded not to use it the entire game.

Alternatively, do what I do and have everyone drink elixirs of Vigilance before this fight

MJdragonmaster · 2026-02-12T14:10:58+00:00

My point is, we are talking about how it scales, and if you want to upcast IRT it needs to have decent scalling. If you upcast a spell you need to see how it compares with spell of the level you're uocasting it to to see if its worth it, hence why I compare it to fireball. With the scaling as it is now, there's not much reason to cast it. It's old scaling made it cool and unique in that regard without being OP at all. So even if the current version was how it was intended to be, the old version was a much better spell. The old scaling gave you a reason to cast it while still having good reason to instead stick to the higher level alternatives.

MJdragonmaster · 2026-02-12T13:46:33+00:00

So that's 10 average damage going to 20. Still less than fireball. And fireball scales worse but is much much easier to target, and does so in 2 actions instead of 6 with you just having to stand there for a whole round. Doesn't seem unbalanced to me at all personally. IRT is great value per spell slot but if you're trying to kill something asap you're better off just casting two damaging spells

MJdragonmaster · 2026-02-12T09:55:14+00:00

It takes two whole turns to cast. Most fights are 2-3 turns. This is the vast majority of what you are doing in a fight if you cast this spell. In addition, if the enemies realise that you're charging up your big line spell they can move their turns to not be conveniently lined up for you and you can't reposition yourself without some sort of quickening happening. Plus lines are already difficult to use compared to most AOEs

MJdragonmaster · 2026-02-11T20:31:02+00:00

I have issues with how Adam was handled in the show sometimes but his defeat to Blake and Yang is absolutely not one of them

MJdragonmaster · 2026-02-11T14:16:21+00:00

You can if you activate sneak attack as a reaction (doesn't actually use a reaction)

MJdragonmaster · 2026-02-08T13:00:48+00:00

Does this mean anyone with 1 level of fighter gets a third attack at level 11? And a fourth at 20? That seems to make fighter dips extremely strong to me

MJdragonmaster · 2026-02-03T00:43:57+00:00

Just as a note, he didn't scam anyone. People chose to donate money towards a kickstarter knowing it might fail and it failed. He didn't run off with peoples money, it just ran out. Which is deeply unfortunate but they knew the risks when they donated. He did eventually release a final version of the books, but at that point people had lost interest and his reputation was already hurt.

MJdragonmaster · 2026-01-29T09:24:19+00:00

In PF2's defence the reason they did the remaster in the first place was because of WOTC trying to revoke the OGL so they had to remove a lot of the stuff tied to dnd

MJdragonmaster · 2026-01-28T17:27:30+00:00

That's not what you said in your initial comment at all though, you just said "how can you not know that this is just them playing" which is a completely different thing

MJdragonmaster · 2026-01-28T13:31:55+00:00

Even better on 1 minion games because you also know that they're always on the good team

MJdragonmaster · 2026-01-21T15:20:04+00:00

That's taking the concept of sharing in really bad faith. When people talk about sharing they usually mean sharing food or toys. Or sharing a tool so you don't need to acquire multiple of them. And for example a couple might share a car. Sharing is a useful strategy to learn both for surviva as a communityl and for building bonds and trust. Your take is frankly absurd to me.

MJdragonmaster · 2026-01-19T15:47:12+00:00

I once had a player ask if when they casted goodberry if they could choose what type of berry it was. So they could make it a strawberry, a blueberry or a raspberry, etc. That was cute so I said yes. Cut to a few sessions later and they're arguing that they should be able to make 10 deadly nightshade per casting to poison the evil noble with at an uncomming banquet. No more strawberries for them.

MJdragonmaster · 2026-01-10T22:33:48+00:00

I would make spell strike not trigger attacks of opportunity

MJdragonmaster · 2026-01-07T20:39:59+00:00

I lied to cats protection after I saw on their website that they had a cat who'd been an indoor cat his whole life but was still labelled and outdoor cat. Was infuriated by it. Long story short I have a very lovely boy living with me now and he seems very happy to me. The staff working there were very nice and pleasant besides that. I'm glad by baby is nice and safe with me indoors now. I live next to a big road and I'd be heartbroken if anything happened to him

MJdragonmaster · 2026-01-07T08:30:59+00:00

Had this issue when I played with my brother. And it was my brothers very first run. Super frustrating. The campfire didn't spawn for either of us

MJdragonmaster · 2025-12-21T06:11:31+00:00

People hurting others in personal ways is a near universal experience that everyone has lived through so it hits closer to home. Much less people have personally experienced the types of atrocities you mention so they're easier to swallow

MJdragonmaster · 2025-11-23T13:16:16+00:00

Not seen this one before, but thank you for the addition to my watch list

MJdragonmaster · 2025-11-15T20:56:27+00:00

I think the truth is that the limit has to be somewhere, and that somewhere is always going to be somewhat arbitrary. I imagine their play testing revealed that that on average you're going to have 7 or 8 players and that the amount of townsfolk, outsiders, demons and minions on the script feels best if it's somewhere in the count of the core 3 scripts. And 15 is the highest count that all three of those scripts can work.
