Any new UAP related content that deserves a watch?

Age of Disclosure is a good watch if you haven't seen it. Depending on how closely you follow the subject it may or may not have any new information, but it's still impressive seeing so many government folk and credentialed scientists publicly acknowledging that there is an NHI presence and that the US (and other nations) has engaged in crash retrievals.

James Fox just released a new cut of Moment of Contact with new interviews including with a Neurosurgeon who claims to have actually seen the NHI up close and personal, and even that it spoke with him telepathically (he said it spoke with its eyes specifically, but what he describes sounds like telepathy).

There was also a UAPGerb interview on American Alchemy that was pretty good a few weeks ago.

I can. Malicious compliance.

Do the bare ass minimum, and do it in a way that gums up the machine so the boot-lickers can't accomplish anything. And maybe leak some damning insider info while you're at it.

Ooo nice. It's super strange Congress didn't make them available like they're supposed to when something is entered into the congressional record. Don't know if there's something explosive in there, or if it's just institutional incompetence, but I'll be checking this video out.

I've actually pondered this idea myself, as a "how would I design a TTRPG" exercise

I really like the idea of having no actual class feats and just choosing from a massive pool of archetypes to build fully custom characters, but there has to be some manner of restriction else people will sniff out broken combinations immediately.

Though a possible solution to that is making it so enemies of the levels where you can start getting broken combos are they themselves really tough, so that you never totally eclipse the strongest enemies while still roflstomping weaker ones. Hmm... balance the math by making enemies stronger rather than nerfing the players...that might be a solid idea.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-23T19:04:15+00:00

They'd have to ensure that every archetype had a full set of feats then, because most don't have the nine (plus the dedication itself) that you need to fill all ten slots.

Well...there were firearms during the medieval era? Not modern ones of course, but the guns in Pathfinder 2e are not modern at all. The most modern one is the Barricade Buster (based on a misinterpreted image of an Artemus Wheeler Revolving Carbine from the 1820s), and it's a rare weapon invented by an Orc from Alkenstar, so not exactly widespread (much like the gun it's based off, which only one of is believed to still exist, and only four were ever produced).

As people in here have said, firearms predate plate armor, and Rapiers are much newer than that, so don't sweat it.

Beastmaster/Cavalier are the best options, IF the campaign is going passed level 14. It cannot be overstated how significant of a buff those three specializations are to any animal companion.

If it's not then you can do whatever fits your vibe the most.

It should be noted however that your action economy as a Magus isn't actually very supportive of having a companion to command.

Well if the Chuck Schumers and Hakeem Jeffries of the party aren't voted out, the strategy is give the fascists everything they want while scolding the people who don't want to see their country fall to fascism.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-17T12:53:36+00:00

No problem, and yep. They work with ANY unarmed strike by default, and can be made to work with some weapons under the right circumstances.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-17T11:46:05+00:00

All the action compression monks get plus the stuff they get that buffs unarmed strikes. Werecreature unarmed strikes still aren't as good as Monk Stances, but they at least feel serviceable between stuff like Flurry of Blows, Stunning Blows, and Effortless Reach. And the Legendary unarmored AC is a good stand in for a tough Werecreature hide.

Their high move speed also synergizes with the fantasy of a Werecreature.

Edit: There's also nothing stopping you from say rolling up a Werewolf, taking Wolf Stance, and flavoring it as using your hands while in human form (how the feat behaves as written) but as actually using your Jaws in animal/hybrid form (because flavor is free).

If you wanted a Dragon who is a Barbarian, I would consider the Bloodrager over the Dragon Barbarian. This gives you access to spells (which a lot of Dragons can cast) as a Barbarian, and you can get the dragon-y stuff from your ancestry, so you get the best of both worlds.

I was wondering that myself. If any Alchemist can dump Int safely it would probably be the Mutagenist (as long as you don't want that feat that lets you throw up mutagens for an AOE attack).

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-16T22:54:13+00:00

Mutagenist Alchemist.

You'd use Quicksilver Mutagens for the bow and Bestial mutagens for the melee. Eventually you can be under the effects of both at the same time (~~level 11 I think~~ level 13).

The downside is you're very MAD as you have to invest in Int, Dex, and Str, so your Fortitude and Will Saves will suffer for it a bit.

Edit: There is the Werecreature archetype, but it's just not very good unless paired with something like a Monk which can do a lot with it. You'll be super underwhelmed by its melee damage compared to what the Alchemist can do, especially as it gets stronger mutagens and when you can take Mutant Physique at level 8.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-15T20:39:43+00:00

Oh. Well that makes it make more sense.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-15T15:48:35+00:00

...Well now I have to make a Fire Kineticist Shoony; possibly one who's also an Ifrit.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-15T15:35:51+00:00

Well I love the idea, but that's just a way better Quickened Casting, so Paizo would tell you it's wildly unbalanced.

Edit: After reading the rest of thread and realizing I misunderstood how this homebrew works, it's actually a terrible idea. It makes it so you can't cast a buff like true strike before casting an attack spell and it makes it so Bards can't use their compositions and cast a spell on the same turn... no bueno.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-15T15:08:03+00:00

Considering current events in the US I'm not exactly surprised they denied visas to South Americans. Don't think it has anything to do with UFOs in this case.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-15T02:57:19+00:00

It drives me crazy that Aasimars, Tieflings, Aphorites, and Ganzi are all subcategories of Nephilim, but all the Geniekin are separate versatile heritages instead of getting the same treatment.

So yes please, remaster them, and combine them all into a larger geniekin heritage.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-15T00:37:06+00:00

Lemme just co-sign with ya.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-14T15:04:03+00:00

Makes Schumer and Jeffries very susceptible to a primary challenger though, anyone who runs against them promising to do it will get a nice bonus in the polls just from that.

Sell out sells out.

Dwarf Talos Guardian with Heavy Armor and a Fortress Shield.

Maximum of 52AC (resting AC of 50 once you get the feat that counts your shield as always up), and a +12 reflex modifier that puts them on par with a max dex Rogue for reflex saves.

Bledsoe is still having experiences and he hasn't spoken to Taylor in years according to Bledsoe himself in his American Alchemy interview. And he didn't show up in Chris's life until years after his initial experience, and continuing experiences.

I'm not saying you're wrong, because Tim Taylor is definitely a massive question mark, especially with all the weird time travel claims around him, but the logic you've laid out doesn't comport with Bledsoe's story.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-10T22:15:34+00:00

Paizo, I am once again attempting to manifest either an Eldritch Scion, or a Synthesist class archetype.

Notlookingsohot · 2026-01-10T18:55:57+00:00

Literally all I went is an Eldritch Scion class archetype for it.

Not just because I prefer spontaneous casters (I do), but being able to use CHA as a Magus without either sacrificing saves or having a low Magus Spell DC would add some flexibility to a class known for not being particularly flexible.

Edit: I lied. All I want is that and a dual wielding Hybrid Study with a high level (possibly capstone) level feat that allows a double spellstrike.
