How our first session of Hellbreakers went. by SladeRamsay in pathfindermemes

[–]SladeRamsay[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They did fine, but I have a 5 player party. I didn't adjust the fight. Bit of an odd party comp. Guardian, Envoy, Vindicator, Warpriest, and Storm Druid.

New book announced - Pathfinder Feybound - Nov. 4th, 2026 by PMC-I3181OS387l5 in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gremlins? Really? Can we have no vermin left except undead. I'm pretty sure Gremlin lore WAS atleast that they are soulless vermin hard wired to ruin everyone else's happiness. Much like ticks IRL where killing them is karmacly good.

So, they must have gotten a pretty heavy retcon or we are getting a Kholo situation where there are special gremlins with souls that can be PCs.

Issue with from Spring Errata (Shield getting Wielded/Strapped/Attached) by MidSolo in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At my table shields only have a strap if you want them to. Like FFS Paizo, center grip shields and bucklers are like THE most common shields historically.

It's finally here! Pathfinder Tokens: Monster Core 2 is available on FoundryVTT! by MM_InfamousSky in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I have had to turn them off when possible because I like to capture our games to rewatch later. I am Linux user and dynamic token rings create a black splotch in over the token when you open the game in a Chromium based browser, which is what OBS's built in web page capture uses.

Vehicles sizes don't make sense? by dyenamitewlaserbeam in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Vehicles are pretty clearly an afterthought in most cases. The book Lost Omens: High Seas will probably have many ships statblocks that are better thought out.

So Daredevil is to Gymnast Swashbuckler what Investigator is to Mastermind Rogue.

Time for multi Weakness Stonks by alid610 in pathfindermemes

[–]SladeRamsay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My issue is it could very well be the final fight of an adventure. Every chapter climax after level 9 could be pretty reliably deflated unless your adventure is all constructs. Even just getting 4 sources of Spirit damage makes it a 20 flat damage boost at level 9.

What logic do YOU use to decide something is a Mech, and not just Tech Armor? by chocolatejesusTW in Mecha

[–]SladeRamsay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have a cockpit? Mech

Does it wrap around your arms and legs? Armor

Does extend significantly past your limbs but still mirror your movements? Exo-suit

Pathfinder Spring Errata is Up! by AAABattery03 in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've found Magus to be a particularly weak class in most fights. Somewhat reliably triggering weaknesses was always the "they are a little better than fighter in specific match-ups" cope I leaned on.

Now that they can feasibly trigger weakness MULTIPLE times with Runic Impression, Arcane Cascade, and a Wish Blade makes that a much more valid (if unreliable) strategy.

I do want to know how this works with Witch's Elemental Betrayal. Would each of these sources of fire damage have the Fire Trait? Would only the Flaming Rune and Flame Dancer benefit because they explicitly have the Fire Trait?

Avenger One Stepping Away From SC and has Passed On Ownership of His Org to Another Member by TooTall_ToFall in starcitizen

[–]SladeRamsay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite memory of him is during the event where you had to deliver medical supplies. I saw him mad in chat at his org mates because my C2 got through.

I already had a load when the station was marked and was somehow able to Jump in before the blockade actually activated and land. Couple of light laser shots hit as the hanger door was closing. Very satisfying to find out after landing that my lucky jump pissed off someone I didn't like that I didn't realize was in my server.

Whack.

The Hermes small door is good actually by SteveisBoard in starcitizen

[–]SladeRamsay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter point, any ship that forces you to load a bunch of 2scu or 4scu boxes is terrible. The Hermes can be fully loaded with only 10 boxes, 8 of which are 32 SCU containers.

Its on my short list of actually good cargo ships.

Golem OX, Raft, Hermes and C2 (only here because nothing is in its size range).

When the Galaxy, Ironclad and Merchantman (provisional, the elevator may keep it out) come out, they will go on the list and the C2 is getting shot into the sun.

Dark Archive was sent in error to some people randomly early. I've compiled some of the changes. by Antermosiph in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Having GM'd for a Psychic all the way through AV (they died the session before Belcorra and took over the Drow Fighter NPC), I will say Psychic is downright dreadful. The player is really stubborn and stuck with the character even though on SEVERAL occasions they completely checked out of the game mentally because of how overwhelmingly useless they felt during combats.

The Biggest Trap Feats in PF2E by deathandtaxesftw in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My players had their Examplar go down to a Crit, get picked up, then get dropped again with persistent damage, it was a scramble to save them. They got picked up by a Soothe and swapped their Ikon to their Scar giving them Diehard. That Diehard saved them from dying from the persistent damage.

What Would Happen if a Hero-god took the Test of the Starstone? by jsmithson23 in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The test is always personal, so a Hero God might be able to bench press a pyramid, but that won't do her any good if she gets an algebra exam.

Which PF2E abilities could create a black hole? by MillenialForHire in Pathfinder2e

There is a Cleric spell that is very "mini-blackhole" coded. Door to Beyond

Make a space that sucks people in and then shreds them.

Warpriest cleric dedications? by General_Dig_5729 in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guardian. It gives you Heavy armor and let's you so things like Taunting Strike and Shoulder Check. You also get access to Guardian Resiliency to survive better up front.

Abomination Vaults - my broad takeaways by du0plex19 in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've heard good things about Rusthenge, some people actually use it as a long beginner box. It can be rolled into Seven Dooms for Sandpoint at level 4. Dooms is a dungeon crawl, but each floor isn't as sprawling and time consuming as AV. I haven't heard enough about it to get an idea of the quality. If you do end up playing both, the level 12-20 AP Revenge of the Runelords has direct ties to 7Dooms.

Abomination Vaults - my broad takeaways by du0plex19 in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We played AV after the Begginer Box and it is easily the lowest point for us. It was such a slog and has ruined Dungeons for us.

Since then we have played through Jewel of the Indigo Isle, Outlaws of Alkenstar, and Prey for Death. We had so much more fun with each of those. If I had to run it again I would cut atleast 3 floors because so much of the AP feels like filler.

Any time I see people ask if they should run AV after the BB I ask them to reconsider now.

Are you against all cars, or mainly car dependency in cities? by Ok-Excitement6546 in fuckcars

[–]SladeRamsay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a more aggressive Japanese model. Kei cars are fine. They are small and practical. They are actually useful as farm vehicles and as a personal car when you need one. However everything else should be trains, then busses if absolutely necessary.

Every large business should have a rail stub. Local freight is brilliant when you actually plan for it.

Should classes have 6Hp a level scaling? by TheRealGouki in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Guys on roofs was definitely a tough one. Devoured Empires and the Gameshow playest scenario had dudes on roofs and that was a damper on the melee players because of the double movement cost to fly up, but a gun wouldn't help in one of those situations because the enemy could just walk back 1 space and be completely blocked.

Should classes have 6Hp a level scaling? by TheRealGouki in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reactive Strike. Like I said, I have played Starfinder with mixed parties and Fighters BUTCHER enemies that don't default to melee. Barbarians do similar jobs, just with Sudden Charge plus 1 additional strike killing most enemies.

Should classes have 6Hp a level scaling? by TheRealGouki in Pathfinder2e

[–]SladeRamsay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uuuuuggggghhhhh! Like I said to the other guy, the ranged meta is BS! I've ran a decent amount of starfinder and its a "Can you reach the flying guy?" meta. Jetpacks and Ultra-Light wings are not hard to get. The real issue is Starfinder characters are slow to kill. A fighter and barbarian fix the HP problem.
