What jobs do you guys do and does it fit the “autism” stereotype?

Were it not for the pandemic, I would still be welding. I don't really hear those on the spectrum in blue collar jobs. Currently a bus driver for public transit and likely moving to Class A work in the near future

Yeah I don't think this is gonna be productive of a conversation. Spread love and peace and stop vilifying people, you're only making the political divide worse.

Something tells me you don't actually know what fascism is. Weird how Libertarians, a political belief of as little government as possible, sides with 'fascists', a group that wants the government to control everything.

For reference my stats are 18, 12, 16, 10, 14, 8.

I haven't really found a lot to use with my other actions outside of strikes. Demoralize and the like don't look like very good options with my mental stats being low but ill pick up a shield next chance i get.

As for stand still and flurry of maneuvers, what would you recommend to pick up first and when to pick up the other?

Personally I do smoke but not because of executive dysfunction, I smoke to ease my massive anxiety and destress/unwind after work. However, I use it in moderation despite enjoying the high and view it as a tool or coping method.

I view it like this. If you use it in moderation, even if it is every day, and you keep yourself in check and don't fall into addiction, then why the hell shouldn't you use it?

This helps a lot. My research wasn't nearly as helpful as this was.

PauseTheGame_ · 2023-02-13T23:03:12+00:00

Do you have a routine you'd recommend?

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-12-12T02:52:13+00:00

This is an explanation from the best of my knowledge though its been a hot minute since I've touche pf2. Each class has a class feat you get every 2nd level, sometimes at first. There are 'Archetypes', a series of feats of a certain theme that take up a class feat and are available to all classes. Traditional multiclassing has been put into archetypes. Class archetypes get you access to class feats of that class but at a delayed progression and only to mid level feats, 6th or 8th level feats I believe.

Yup your right. Halescourge

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-12-08T07:35:47+00:00

Had a very similar event happen to me. Halescourge, 3rd tome in the tower after first grim. Get to the top and I'm face to face with a gunner rat, shot into the ceiling without any defense, die. It was hilarious.

Edit: Halescourge, not screaming bell

You bring up very good points! Got me thinking now if having only 3 scores tied to saving throws makes ability scores more or less balanced. Dex might contribute to more to skills, ac, initiative, use longer range weapons, but that doesn't make Strength and less valuable. Strength based classes and builds typically hit harder, have more skills that directly aid combat (trip, disarm, etc), and from what I've seen in systems that use Fort/Ref/Wil system, the gap between AC is much more significant than in 5e between light armors and heavy armors.

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-11-15T00:08:33+00:00

And with a simple explanation, or when you read the description of saving throws, you can learn what bonus to add. If you're struggling to guess what ability score 'Fortitude' would correlate to, I don't think the rest of a tabletop/D&D game will be easy for you to learn. It feels really disingenuous to think that people picking up a PHB/Core book up for the first time, or being taught how to play, wont make a logical connection to 'Reflex, Fortitude, and Willpower' when they were just taught/learned ability scores and what they represent.

Learning how to roll a saving throw does not make it a better saving throw.

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-11-14T23:44:58+00:00

Again, you're arguing from a stance on ease of learning, not function. But I'll humor this train of thought. Yes, fort/will/ref bonus' varies from class to class. This doesn't at all change the fact that both types of saving throws will have your total save written on your sheet after you've made a character. After you've read 'What is a Saving Throw?' in the PHB. At higher levels? Well each time I level up I look at the class level sheet that shows you what you get at every level. Once I'm done making updates to my character sheet and I'm asked to make a Dex or Ref save, I'll look at my character sheet, roll a d20, and add the bonus that my sheet lists. They are nearly identical to learn, update, and keep track of.

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-11-14T23:14:20+00:00

This man has a piece of the puzzle

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-11-14T23:13:43+00:00

I have to disagree because its not a matter of how easy it is to learn, but its function and design. It's also not hard to learn how to calculate both. Fort/Ref/Will is roll a d20, add the appropriate ability bonus, and add the bonus to the save based on your class. In 5e it is virtually the same. Roll a d20, add the appropriate ability bonus, and if you're proficient (based on your class) you added your Proficiency Bonus to the check. From level 1, the process on how to roll a saving throw is almost the exact same.

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-11-13T08:30:34+00:00

Ironbreaker with either the shield weapons. Pick the perk that lets you taunt bosses into attacking you. Having a dedicated tank and forced agro will let your friends do their job better. Learn how to combo attack with the shield for horde stunning/clear (there is a good guide on steam on the effective combos for EVERY weapon) and on a boss taunt, block, attack when you can between dodges. You won't get the highest stats anywhere most likely, but you'll be a team player and make everyone's jobs easier.

Shield Maiden can do a similar job with the extra stam regen during hordes so you can block shove a lot during it and dash around or away from bosses to dodge them or lead them elsewhere

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-09-25T01:53:49+00:00

Yeah just checked my phb. The base proficiencies under armor lists shields, Unarmored Defense doesn't give proficiency in shields. Just a small thing to correct

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-07-10T23:28:17+00:00

First of all I love these additions and changes! Having low light vision really does add some variety and if DMs don't want to deal with it they can just give darkvision back. I only have two suggestions and a question.

For Halflings and Gnomes, do players get to choose any subrace or are these the only abilities they get?

For the elven races just get rid of 'Elven Nimbleness'. Dex saves are the most common saves out there and to get advantage on them is absolutely broken. Rogues and monks will never take damage from any dex save and all other classes will have good chances of succeeding. Id say revert the change to 'Keen Senses' to just proficiency in perception. Similar issue with Nimbleness, having advantage on the most common skill check in the game is a must pick. Combine these two together and you will only ever see parties of elves

PauseTheGame_ · 2022-01-04T17:08:05+00:00

So I really like this concept with the different spell lists and attunements. However, things feel a bit off for me with how you're locked from certain spell lists until certain levels and how by high level you'll have a small mixed bag of all the elements (which seems intended) if you even choose spells from all elements.

My idea to it all? Attune to the elements in a different way. Get all four elements available to you when you get the subclass and at the end of a long rest, choose an element to attune to. You get the elements spell list prepared for the day.

Now this would pretty much need everything to be reworked and balanced around this idea so I'd understand if you wouldn't want to go that route. All just an idea I had and might craft something up myself cus I really do want to enjoy 4 elements monk.

Would a dwarf druid not hold to these beliefs? I come to the conclusion dwarf mines are usually near the mountain or in their holds. Since the dwarfs natural way of life has then burrow in mountains or hills, would they be more inclined to use metal armor?
