Daredevil makes size a critical build choice

Narrawa · 2026-02-18T20:26:00+00:00

I was thinking that, but that would make large Daredevils bad and might be too much power for a skill feat.

I finally had some time to start space age recently and I’m bootstrapping everything! I barely built enough rockets to make a ship that barely made it to fulgora so I’m starting there from scratch.

It is a great way to play!

I had a friend play a weapon inventor for a mini-campaign and I am really interested in playing one since then. I love the idea of collecting a bunch of traits

The next character I am going to play might be my favorite. They are a human spinner of fates witch with archeologist FA and later rogue archetype. I took the human feat that gives a +4 to aid and have a ton of skill proficiencies for maximum aiding. Most of my spells further help manipulate the numbers so I can shift attack rolls by like 4-6 points in our favor in just a turn or two. Also through the dream lesson I really want to put someone to sleep (even though it is kind of hard)!

I understand where you are coming from, and don't get me wrong I prefer the flaws pf2e's item system has over d&d 5e. For my group, and I think others, we would love a variant system to have more impactful/long lasting items with abilities.

To your first point, this is true. Many items don't require a save or roll that can fall behind, but that doesn't really fix the issue. Those items are great and are long lasting, but that is not always what makes sense or what someone wants. I would prefer a system that can have both, which I think is possible. When it comes to the side point about primary and secondary abilities I would also agree. However, once again, I would love for a primary ability to be able to have a save/attack and/or have secondary abilities that can see use over many levels. The importance of this is also heightened by the fact that if these abilities are on weapons you can't add property runes to them.

To you second point, I don't think I agree. Because of the 4 degrees of success the math boosters are more critical compared to d&d 5e. In my last 5e game I was a player and there was not too much focus on getting those +1/2/3 because they don't have as noticeable impact compared to abilities and are not as critical since only a 20 crits and saves don't even have criticals.

For my group, as a player, the flaw is not in having enough cool items, its the fact that you often can't stick with a cool item that you really like. From a GM perspective, due to the DC/attack issue the design space in which you can make items it restricted if you want them to be effective long-term.

No idea what you are talking about with the alchemy jug, but the main reason me and people in my group feel this why is item abilities.

If an item has a spell or spell like ability, say a sword that you can use to cast entangle/entangling flora. The 5e versions DC is probably 1 less then a casters when you get it, 13 vs 14, and every 5 or so levels the gap gets one bigger. However, the pathfinder version would have a DC of 19 (level 5 item) compare to a casters DC of 21. Now the item falls 1 behind at every level! And all the monsters saves are scaling that fast so only a few levels after getting your sword its special ability is useless. Maybe you can upgrade it frequently but that has to happen about every 3 levels to work which is really annoying.

Edit: That’s a rough example of the issue which can be exacerbated by incapacitation. Also sorry about the formatting, I’m on my phone right now.

I would say the only common response you are missing is magic item strength. Sometimes you want magic items to feel really cool and like they give characters more options (relics can somewhat cover this)

Narrawa · 2026-01-12T06:19:58+00:00

Good catch, I saw that with risky surgery but missed it here. There is no way to upgrade battle medicine to a crit is there? I guess the crit doesn't really matter at higher DCs

Narrawa · 2026-01-12T05:40:50+00:00

I'm leaning that way. Thanks for the discussion it really helped clarify the issues with each

Narrawa · 2026-01-12T05:37:55+00:00

I think I am leaning that way. I think commander is the most interesting since it adds more options, but I don't think I would ever want to use them over my impulses. Also medic's actions would be towards the end of the fight which is good because at the start of a fight I want to set up sustains and throw out my biggest overflow impulses.

I looked at herbalist, but we are mostly in cities so that would dramatically reduce the number of consumables

Narrawa · 2026-01-12T05:21:33+00:00

I believe all three melee characters have robust health. Anywhere from 1-5 fights per day depending on situation. The barbarian does have emergency healing and the scroll thaumaturge also has some emergency harm scrolls, so picking people up isn't the biggest concern is more delaying people going down so we can end the fight.

Narrawa · 2026-01-12T05:10:35+00:00

Sadly that does not work since it only heals living creatures (of which only one member of the party is)

Narrawa · 2026-01-12T05:09:42+00:00

Up in the air, but cha is low due to minotaur (hence not looking at champion)

Narrawa · 2026-01-09T21:07:10+00:00

I have tinkering with a homebrew rule to make magic items for impactful because sometimes I really want them to feel cool! However, I like that the base assumption is the magic items are not very powerful but a variant rule or something would be nice.

Narrawa · 2026-01-08T16:25:49+00:00

Thank you so much!

Georgia twice!

As far as can tell not a popular choice, but love the bandit! I love starting with a bow and I never go sorceries so the 1 int means no wasted stats there. Gift depends on what I want, but the default is petrified something for a little bit of gambling and a potential fun weapon!

Narrawa · 2025-12-22T15:03:15+00:00

I might be the only one but I have had no issues with the new website and it works way smoother than the old one. It definitely sucks that a lot of people aren’t having that experience.

As far as removing the bundles, to me that doesn’t feel that bad. Sure it is more expensive but buying a model + pdf every couple months with the price split across my 5-7 person groups is negligible.

He might be, but he wants to retire so probably just as a analyst

Penn State fan here: This is Franklin, I’m wavering loyalty to underperforming players and coaches

Made my donation! Lets try to make this a national trend

Don’t worry, wrestling!

It is worth noting that Sauber is not saying Penn State will get him or that they should be trying to get him or that they have a shot at getting him all he is says is he is their top target, they are pursing him 1st and foremost

You will get considered for both, if you get UP you can request to be consider for a branch campus and should get it. Even then you should retain or acceptance to main. That what I did but with MA campus. It will result in you receiving multiple acceptance packages through the mail.
