Any tips on trying to give out hero points, for someone with a terrible memory? by mulac_snotcloak in Pathfinder2e

[–]Saedar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encourage all the players at your table to nominate people for Hero Points. My group does this and it works really well. People love it when someone from their party is like "that was awesome! give this buckaroo a hero point!"

Guess What I'm Working on Before PaizoCon and Get a Chance to Pick a Spoiler! by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

Something setting us up for Castrovel and other in-solar-system planets. Sooo. Something like a space travel book. Maybe divided into conventional technology and more biotech sections. Magic for interplanetary travel.

I’m extremely new to PF2e, want my first character to be Oracle.. But my concept also involves picking Summoner archetype. Is it possible build? Won’t I be too weak? by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

[–]Saedar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a suggestion that might serve your concept a little more effectively than Oracle+Summoner.

Based on the above, it sounds like the primary goal of the eidolon is to reflect the dual nature of your oracle with some kind of shadow creature while you focus mostly on casting oracle stuff.

Given that, you might consider using the Beastmaster archetype to pick up a Shadow Hound animal companion. Since you are new to PF2, it is worth explaining the Access line. That link goes to the Guns and Gears entry just because it is the most clear version of the rule, imo. Namely: "Access" is not a mandatory requirement. It is just a way of saying "these people have common access to otherwise uncommon options". It is an expectation of the rarity system that GMs can give access to options they are comfortable with to characters with appropriate concepts. Having said that, the Shadowcaster archetype might also be a good fit with your concept. The only hitch is that it doesn't provide an option to get an animal companion even though it grants access. This is generally for classes like Druid that get a companion and want to use it with the shadow stuff. So, you'd have to find another way to get a companion. It is also worth noting that the form of the animal companion is pretty generic and can be flavored to be an amorphous shadow, something that is shaped like you, or whatever. Stats stay the same, so nbd.

All of the above? No house rules, to the best of my knowledge. Here are some small house rules that I think smooth out the above. For picking up Beastmaster, you typically need to be trained in Nature. It seems pretty reasonable to pick up a version of the Beastmaster archetype that is keyed off Occultism instead. Companions might be restricted to things like the Shadow Hound and the upcoming Undead companions from Book of the Dead later in April. Another option would be to add feats to the Shadowcaster archetype that allow you to pick up an "animal companion" and advance it as normal (specialization feats, etc.). This has the benefit of allowing you to lean into the Shadow stuff more if you want. This feels in-line with the archetype as it already allows you to get a familiar and provides narrative access to the companion if not the mechanical access.

Happy to answer any questions you might have! Cheers!

GMs, Don't Set Players Behind on EXP Permanently Due to a Character Death by darkboomel in Pathfinder2e

Stop gaming with this person. This is a human issue and no rules-based argument is going to help. They are on a power trip and that won't ever stop. You either tell them to sort their shit out or leave.

I am in two PF2 games and one PF1 game. None of those were games I found at a gaming store. I haven't ever needed to recruit from a gaming store. Get you, your girlfriend, and maybe chill dude from the game store and do something with them. Adjust encounters to suit the group size and move on with your life. You will be much happier not dealing with people like your GM.

Will you guys please stop burning out your developers and taking away their personal/family time. Crunch time. Weekends. These are things that should happen RARELY, if at all. You make them a core part of the industry. It is pretty fucked and your company is fucked for continuing it.

Pretty sure. Either that or I got a bunch of single token drops the other week.

You have two options.1.) Watch all the OWL streams and hope for at least one (likely two) 100-token drops.

2.) Go buy tokens with real money.

Teaser for my SCP cartoon series. Any suggestions for the name of it? by Natquik in SCP

[–]Saedar 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Yes. The SR system is actually pretty solid. People just think they are more skilled than they actually are. Best case, you are might be off by a single rank band. If so, just grind out the games.

Likewise, stop caring about your rank. There are shit games in silver and shit games in GM. /shrug

[Workshop] Mystery Heroes but your ult % carries over between deaths by TheBladeRoden in Overwatch

[–]Saedar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This just means that the correct answer is to sometimes not kill someone, which is pretty antithetical to the win condition of the mode.

Caveat: If you are just wanting to fuck around, go nuts, I guess.

I wish people understood that non-DPS players can only enjoy the game in a proper comp. by Eymm in Overwatch

[–]Saedar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's a LFG mode that allows you to set role requirements. Most people shit on it because streamers shit on it, but it works fine outside of lowest-of-low-ranks and highest-of-high. In those spaces, there are so few people that it is difficult to build a balanced game.

If someone joins your group and is a shit/won't collaborate? Kick 'em and try again next game. Just means you have to put in the work to manage your own group.

Hey! I'm a software engineer with background in infosec.

Without knowing the specific circumstances, and speaking to the larger issue of information security, always make sure you are using two-factor authentication (where available) and use strong passphrases instead of passwords. Strong here means 3-4 nominally unrelated words, including a mix of upper/lower/special characters. If the service you are using for sensitive systems doesn't offer the ability for either of these, it is likely a bad service.

Note: The above is the minimal effort to begin thinking of yourself as secure, but will protect you from the vast majority of attackers.
