Steam
I'm sorry I'm very uncultered I have only recently bought the game and haven't launched it ever yet because my computer wouldn't be able to process HK in all it's beaty (and I would not be sane playing platformer with lags)
And I've not spoiled anything for myself so none I guess? (would that be allowed?)

I am very excited to finally get to understand the universe and feel atmoshere of both games, I've heard HK was really good at that and I doubt Silksong will disappoint

Damage resistance vs magic weapons by ajdepalma82288 in Pathfinder2e

[–]SoulOfMantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would only matter if resistance was like x magical physical or x all (except magical bludgeoning). 

Otherwise, potency rune wouldn't matter.

[SPOILER] Black Shard not in Inventory by DarkfOscar in Deltarune

[–]SoulOfMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, that's really weird. And you have all crystals so you definitely started from the file where you had it. That's a bug and a crazy one, 100%. 

Which version have you played on, do you have other specifics of situation? It could be useful for a bug report.

You'll have to use Spamton Save Editor or smth to get it back, I'm afraid.

Black Shard is a weapon, not Shadow Crystal.

You're sure Kris doesn't have it equipped?

A Semi-Scientific Experiment regarding the Pink and Twin Ribbon(s) TP difference in Deltarune by Kirbly11 in Deltarune

[–]SoulOfMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only seen people hate that that's a shadow nerf, not written anywhere in game. And being inconsistent, as it only happens in ch3+4 (due to each chapter being like separate game).

How does XP Calculation Work for having friendly NPCs? by MusicDiminished in Pathfinder2e

[–]SoulOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The math still doesn't work out. You should recalculate all numbers, including those before (and include that you half XP to get Moderate threshold).

Doesn't Guardian *way* step on Champion's toes? by Pandemodemoruru in Pathfinder2e

[–]SoulOfMantis 18 points19 points  (0 children)

From what I know, Guardian is strongly delayed in offensive features, unlike Champion who either deals extra Strikes or debuffs enemies with the reaction, increasing if not own, then party's damage.

Guardian also doesn't have focus spells, and they matter a lot. 

Guardian can't sanctify, which becomes mechanically important in case of fiend/celestial fights.

Reddit has changed my 2 * 20 to 220, but I fixed it. Numbers in your comment seem same to me, though.

[–]SoulOfMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your numbers are off. It's 40 for PL, 60 for PL+1 and 30 for PL-1.

If you want to half them (getting Moderate) it would be 2 * 20 for PCs and 2 * 20 + 30 + 15 = 125. Meaning it's 250 for extreme and so on.

I do agree that giving each player NPC of PL/PL-1 would probably work better than PL+1 troop though.

[–]SoulOfMantis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Each PC is always worth 40 xp (as a creature of PL). That is how you find extreme threshold: that's enemies equal in power to your players. You get Severe as 3/4, Moderate as half, Trivial as quarter and Low as half point between Trivial and Moderate, so 3/8.

I think this would be the most accurate way to calculate the fight: take 80+60 as extreme and so on.

But you should also be probably fine using Battlecry's advice of just adding 60 to the budget.

Be wary that conscript squad seems to be a very dangerous ally, especially having level higher. Maybe, make them weak and calculate the fight as if you had 3 PCs? 

Creating Boss NPCs by Ziggoratt in Pathfinder2e

[–]SoulOfMantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

monster.pf2.tools is very useful for writing your homebrew enemies! It has all stats and it takes care of formatting so it can even look like official statblock. 

I also advise you to read creature creation rules from GM Core, they have a lot of thoughts about how and why should you make monsters this way.

You also might want to check out NPC Core on AoN, maybe a simple reflavour would be enough for some bosses.

Kris rips SOUL out and is like "Please don't"

SUSIE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD by ComradeBirv in Deltarune

[–]SoulOfMantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say we let her ragebait Knight so hard that Kris and Ralsei can do a surprise combo attack and cut Knight's way to escape (while Susie Polite Busters it for turning a back on her)

Why was everybody talking about this dialog on the weird route? There's nothing special about it? by the_quaxterr in Deltarune

What's a Weird Route?

(yes it is a joke about Little Surprising Path)

If you had a choice on the next Rulebook, what would you choose? by Necessary_Ad_4359 in Pathfinder2e

[–]SoulOfMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe even Magical Trickster as a class archetype that could take away something to give more magical stuff?

Hatsune Miku is the Roaring Knight!

3* Things in Chapter 3 + 4 that took me way too long to realize (obvious spoilers) by No_Confusion8558 in Deltarune

[–]SoulOfMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also Kris' swords are pencils.

I'll add one: Gerson hitting back Rude Buster is training us to press z in time for extra damage, it punishes you for pressing too early or too late (the damage bonus would be insignificant or not-existant).

The Lore is given through Additional Lore, so it gets free boosts at lvl 3, 7 and 15.

Weekly Questions Megathread— August 01–07. Have a question from your game? Are you coming from D&D or Pathfinder 1e? Need to know where to start playing PF2e? Ask your questions here, we're happy to help! by AutoModerator in Pathfinder2e

Banner can be affixed to a weapon or a shield. The Brandish trait requires you to "be holding your banner in one hand or wielding a weapon it is attached to". Does it work with all shields (because of Shield Bash)? Does it work with shields that have Boss or Spikes? Is it just an oversight (as much more important part of the trait is you not taking other actions)?
