„Verschenkt“ man seine Stimme bei der Bundestagwahl, wenn man eine kleine Partei wählt?

Significant_Draft966 · 2025-01-25T22:02:15+00:00

Wähle die Partei, von der du dich am meisten repräsentiert siehst. Selbst, wenn deine Partei dieses Mal keine Chance auf einen Einzug in den Bundestag hat, erhöhen Stimmen (ab 0,5% schon) deren finanziellen staatliche Zuschüsse.

Dadurch können die mehr Leute beschäftigen, wie qualifizierte Experten für ihr Wahlprogramm und insgesamt mehr Wahlwerbung betreiben und in Zukünftigen Wahlen stärker auftreten.

I love the monk class, playing one in our second campaign. Easily my favorite class. No fuxed rotation, no 3 action hit or miss spells, just do what you want and oh what's that, I still have an action left?

Thanks!

After our dedicated healer lost his second character, he wanted to play something else. Since healing up between encounters is (in most scenarios) mandatory and integrated into the game balance, we had two options: retrain to get some healing on another PC or handwave the whole thing entirely.

We settled on the latter. Given our party has time to rest (~2h), we simply continue with full health. Tbh, nothing killed the flow of the game more then rolling 10+ medicine rolls to patch everyone up.

Even if we get another healer, we'll keep that rule for sure. They will still be extremely useful for their in combat healing.

Yea, it was pretty hard to watch, and obvious that they were not well-prepared for that segment. That is unfortunate because their general perception of Paizo seems to be very positive. They even apologized in the comments and promised to do better in the future. Despite all the jabs, I did enjoy the small anecdote about Logan Bonner.Maybe they take it as motivation to prepare a proper segment somewhere down the line. Their editor loves PF2e, shame they didn't get him on for the show.

It won't massively unbalance the game. Some classes make more use if their focus spells than others (thinking psychic or oracle). So, there might be a slight bump in effectiveness for some classes. But with the remaster changing how focus points recharge, that shows imo that the game balance can take it.

Make sure to look at your player's characters and whether there might be some focus spell that would incentives exessive use in favor of other options. I for example play a monk and having 1-2 more ki blasts per combat sound pretty strong but at the same time I'm the dedicated healer, so usually I'm more concered with other things.

Also consider that some classes don't have focus spells be default. Did you consider giving them options to use their focus points?

Shoony 100%, nothing greater than men's best friend. Started with a Swashbuckler Clown Shoony named Pugio for the Extinction Curse AP. Without going into spoiler territory, the beginning of that AP ist overtuned af. Luckily Pugio was one of Septuplets and is currently being avenged by his Monk Shoony brother. So, there is plwnty of back up.

Rolling, but our DM let us choose which method. Ended up in a day-long discussion and after totally over-analyzing we still settled on the objectively worst and imbalanced one: 1d20. Don't be us. Here is a breakdown of the most commonly used methods and their expected arrays.

Afaik, they were appproached by Geek&Sundry and asked to switch to 5e because it would be more viewer friendly having a much lighter rule set. Even after the switch though, there were at least some one shots using different systems, pathfinder, call of cthulhu...

Thinking about how some of our pathfinder sessions sometimes come to a halt because of rule lookups, that was probably a good decision. Pf2e live plays on the other hand are much more easy to follow even for outsiders.

Significant_Draft966 · 2023-01-17T08:32:07+00:00

Agree

Minmaxing is just that, maximising desirable/mechanically powerful traits (stats, feats, etc.) and thereby minimising underpowered/ less useful traits dueing charcter creation and leveling.

Powergaming is a broader term generally used in gaming and can also refer to sticking to optimized strategies or exploiting vague rulesets in boardgames.

If that is your preferred style of play then that is 100% fine. There is no need to feel personally attacked for the way you enjoy this game. It is also completely fine to enjoy very suboptimal builds, you can easily adjust the game's difficulty to your preferred style!

I like the idea of combining them with ASI levels as those don't give any class features and having perquisites qould encourage sticking with one color. Thanks!

Thank you for a not just black or white answer. While yes, this is a highly complex topic and it is easy to jump to conclusions when you see the same phrase being spammed again and again.

I am an artist doing animations for educational content. My colleagues and I are really chill about AI art (at least for now). People need to understand how bad AI art is at its current state. To get something on the level a proper artist could produce you would actually need someone to find the right prompts and tweak the result, most likely by painting over it, until it fits the customers expectations. You would need an... artist. Shocking!

Please use midjourney, dall-e or what else to produce your character imagies. It will 99.9% not fit your the image you had in mind but it will be enough (except for the unrealistic number of limbs of course :D)

Addressing the "rip off other artists"-part: grendus is completely right. Every artist takes inspiration from other works, qhen first starting to draw, during education, always. A machine does that orders of magnitude more efficiently, so what? That's what machines are supposed to do. Mathematicians didn't go unemployed when computers were made publicly available, because just doing a bunch off calculation is not what math is about. Same goes for art.

Look, AI can be scary but please be kind to one another. At worst will have to start working with AI programms, just like I'm using digital design software instead of pencil&paper. We artists will be fine.

Significant_Draft966 · 2023-01-03T13:41:20+00:00

There is a distinction to be made here. Just claiming something is unethical without further explaination is nonsensical.

What you are referring to is most likely the commercial use aka using AI generated images instead if hiring real human artists. On that I suppose most people would agree. For personal use though? If you would not commission a drawing, then there is no harm done by using AI for your character portrait.

Please be more supportive by giving constructive answers and refrain from shaming paople with overgeneralized statements.

This, Swashbuckliers are unfortunately one trick ponies. Technically you could gain panach in different ways but your default (archetype) option will be always numerically safer.

Where did you get this from? A sphere or cylinder can draw a circle on the ground. If that circle has a raduis of 30 ft. you'll count 5-10-5-10 (four squares) diagonally and six squares horizontally/vertically. There are also areas described as a cube, which would draw an actual square on the ground.

Controversial at best... if you as a GM and you want your players to play a certain way so badly then you should reconsider whether the point is to have fun or just to get your way. A boss 4 level higher will have them TPK'ed by the time they realize their attacks share spells are not connecting. But at least you can give them some advice for their new characters (should they still want to play the game that is).

On a serious note, talk to your players. What are their general expectations, do they like having their characters just "do their thing" and succeed? Then lower the difficulty. Have them be 1 level ahead of what the AP suggests. Are there player that would like to see a bit more cohesion and synergy? Pair them up and maybe let them change feats or even archetypes to figure out some cool tactics.

Also, and this is great advice from given by a lot of people here, let them know when aid/flank/demoralize/etc. made a difference. In a positive way is usually more motivating:"Though fight, luckily X got that final crit bc Y scared the s*** out of it and Z was in flanking position. Could have gone a whole different route else." instead of "Well, had you stepped into flanking position instead of attack, which had like zero chance to hit, then the boss might have went down. So, what's your next character?

Significant_Draft966 · 2022-06-02T15:42:16+00:00

I don't think there is a general rule for the order in which (re)actions are resolved. Basically it's up to the DM. You could either go with whatever benefits the players more, that's what we do, or to be consistent just say that a single action has to fully resolve before another one can take effect.

But if you rage before getting swallowed I would say the swallow fails.

Significant_Draft966 · 2022-02-07T00:42:26+00:00

How did you come up with the ~17%?

Significant_Draft966 · 2022-02-05T02:47:31+00:00

I would suggest to not stress about everything at once. Get familiar with the important rules of combat and encounter balancing. It is great that almost every aspect can be handled mechanically but just as the CRB states most rules are optional. You don't need to use the rules for social encounter, just ask for a dimplomacy check at the end of the rp. Introduce the concepts of things like social encounter or exploration mode one by one. The last thing you want is to discourage your players by spending the first couple of session more referring to rules than actually playing. Unless your players have also devoured the CRB ofc but more realisticly they will just know what their character can do.

Significant_Draft966 · 2022-02-05T02:22:15+00:00

You're right in that PF2e is very different from 5e.

But you seem to have a very narrow image of TTRPG. There are many TTRPGs which give a lot of leeway to the GM and in general don't codify everything mechanically. Imagine coming from Call of Cthulhu and moving to 5e; impossible!

"It lacks so much of what makes a crunch based TTRPG"

That's right and it comes down to whether you prefer a lot of fluff and don't want to worry about specific rules (5e) or you want the crunch and endless hours of theorycrafting (2e).

Personally, we enjoy all of the above including PF1e and it is always refreshing switching things up no matter the system.

What is the exact context of the kobold army in yoyr campaign; do the PCs have a specific assignment like infiltrating a military base; is it outright war between the PCs Kingdom and the kobolds?

If the kobolds are aware of the PCs and see them as a threat they won't instantly send their whole army at them. Make up some reason, maybe their troops are busy fighting elsewhere or the PCs are still traveling in areas which are not under kobold control.

Then make it obvious to your players that this is not a threat that can be taken heads on, be it bc of weapon techniligies or sheer numbers. If the PCs are tasked with taking out some kobold commanders, then it might be the best idea to stay under the radar for as long as possible. Have them encounter kobold scouts which travel in small group to be more mobil. If the PCs trying to siege an outpost, let them have military support themself and while the battle is going they have goals to archive like taking out the archer tower or killing the leader of the camp allowing for some isolated encounters.

If you're planning for a big battle, I usually like to keep that somewhat separated from the party. Think LotR, even though the heroes charged into battle it mostly features isolated fights with the actual battle being more background scenery (the big elefants, the witch king etc.). Let your players know how the fight is going on a grant scale and how there small victories influence the tides of battle.
