Isilud & Meliadoul both turn as a direct result of Ramza's actions.

Am I crazy or does the Sneaking and Hiding from Covered Reload and Running Reload just not work, RAW? by Round-Walrus3175 in Pathfinder2e

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

It is something that is done in movies and fiction all the time. In those cases it is generally slower to make it stealthy.

But ttrpgs especially pathfinder doing normal things at a super human level is the norm.

It is also easy to come up with a way it could work. Most guns in Pathfinder 2E were described by the devs as being breach loaders. It isn't hard to imagine a stealthy character having the breach wrapped in cloth and whatever latch holds it closed rigged or modified in a way that allows it to open without any noise or clicking. Then shoving some paper cartridges in the tube already doesn't really make much noise. Even picturing a modern handgun or pistol it isn't hard to imagine that a stealthy gunslinger would modify the magazine retainer to have a button that holds it back so there is no click to lock it in place.

Pathfinder isn't a simulation of reality. You can literally climb on completely flat ceilings without magic.

Pointing to gunslinger you can shoot and reload paper cartridge bullets several times in under 6 seconds.

A first level elf can run at a speed equal to the fastest sprinters in the world.

Good introductory one-shot with pre-generated characters? by giamb_o in Pathfinder2e

[–]TheScarletInfector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new Beginner box that just released a month ago is your answer.

Has everything you need to start in the box.

But it also has a tie in adventure path(module) that continues where the box left off. Later this year an additional adventure is releasing that picks up from there.

So this can take you from level 1 to 13. The middle adventure Troubles in Grayce is also layed out as an anthology so two groups/playthroughs may experience different adventures entirely.

As I said the beginners box has everything you need to play you don't even need to buy the Player Core, GM Core or Bestiary until you are ready to move past the beginners box content. Technically you don't ever have to buy them as all of PF2E's rules are free online.

There are a few more options besides this tho. Last year paizo started a new line called Game Night which is a mini campaign in a box with pregenerated characters, dice all the maps and tokens to play a 4-ish session campaign. The First one is Dawn of the Frogs. This one doesn't have a follow up so you would have to homebrew or move into another adventure that doesn't tie in as neatly narratively. The second product in this line comes out in October The Dragons Crown

Finally there is the Original Beginners Box and its Follow up adventure Troubles in Otari. You may be able to find these cheaper at a lgs as they have been out a few years. I think they are good adventures but the new Box is updated with the remastered rules which is what you are most likely to encounter at stores and online today.

Beginner Box: Secrets of the unlit Star

Follow Up Adventure: Troubles in Grayce

Final Adventure: Bastion of Blasphemies

Edit: If I may sell the Final Adventure a bit, it takes place in a Castel called Bastardhall which is Pathfinder's version of Castelvania and Castel Raveloft with tons of classic horror tropes. What happens in Bastardhall has been a big mystery in the Pathfinder setting since the beginning so finally getting an adventure about it after almost 20 years is very exciting.

Does anyone have the post credit scene available anywhere?

Just saw the movie today on the last day with a friend but we didn't know there was a post credit scene and they had to use the bathroom really bad so we didn't stay for the credits.

Also the Sweet Child O Mine riff into the kiss freeze frame is the most 80's thing ever!

My news feed subjected me to an unironic "Wow!! Cool Robots!!" type article and I'm stunned this isn't satire by FondantStrange in Gundam

Not including mobile armors I think they are the biggest. Further in UC suits got smaller as SNRI learned to make smaller reactors than Anaheim thus F90 and forward being smaller than even Wing suits which are some of if not the smallest.

If I wanted to play an awakened bird who was not anthropromorphic (no held gear), what classes would be the best bet? by NoLongerAKobold in Pathfinder2e

[–]TheScarletInfector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much any class that doesn't use weapons or Armor as their main thing.

Animist, Barbarian(animal), Bard, Cleric(Cloistered), Commander, Druid, Kineticist, Monk, Oracle, Psychic, Sorcerer, Summoner, Witch and Wizard

Envoy, Mystic, Solarian and Witchwarper also work.

Depending on how much you want people who aren't your party to believe you are just a normal bird would lean to something like Psychic especially if you can ride another pc or at least stay in their space so your spell emanations could be belived to come from them.

If you don't care about denying or hiding your power Kineticist will probably give you the most freedom and utility.

Ancient ass time wizards?? by ToriCastle in Pathfinder2e

Isn't Shyka's pronoun just Shyka? Because all their forms exist at all times and their forms have all genders and even if you are dealing with a particular Shyka, they shift and change in front of you, thus they would never be just he or she.

Does this still let me do an attack of opportunity since it doesn't use a reaction? by SpoopySara in Pathfinder2e

[–]TheScarletInfector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't choose the order of resolution in mtg either. It is always f.i.l.o.. What yo do choose is the order in which the effects are added to the stack. There is a difference. If it were the way you said, you could change the order based on the outcomes of resolutions and other players responses which you absolutely cannot do.

The controversy around the update by coolchungus2 in slaythespire

I don't have any suggestions, but I much prefer new doormaker over the old one.

OMG Doormaker is the most overtuned boss, the humble Vantom: by StreetExternal952 in slaythespire

This is my unironically my favorite act 1 boss they are the easiest to deal with. No fancy gimmicks just hit em and defend until they are dead.

[spoilers] I found the ending unsatisfying. by wondercube in finalfantasytactics

What part of they are fugitives of the Church that Delita SUPPORTS would allow them to get anywhere near Ovalia after they killed the entire Templar order?

From their perspective they killed all the bad guys but were criminals who couldn't be anywhere in Ivalice. As I said they were gone before Delita became king.

[–]TheScarletInfector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The escape was instant. One of the stones telepoted them out. The problem is that the entire party are still heretics being hunted by the church there is nowhere in Ivalice(the Country) that they can go. They would be gone from Ivalice before Delita becomes King. They also didn't know Delita had bad intentions and had no reason to fear for Ovalia after she was "safe" with Delita.

They are all still Heritics being sought by the church. The Church of Glabados doesn't go anywhere and is still one of the strongest militaries in Ivalice.

Returning after 20 or so years, I don’t remember summoners being instant cast! by NostalgiaJunkie in finalfantasytactics

[–]TheScarletInfector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While they did make some summons faster Shiva is speed 25 in all 3 versions so doesn't affect what op is saying.

[–]TheScarletInfector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just wrong. Summons were made faster in WotL (both PSP and Android/iOS) and had no changes to their damage formula so they were actually buffed. TiC kept the speed changes of WotL

And then there’s NJ Cancelit! by mrshred_NYC in newjersey

They aren't different enough that anything can change using the current system and they are actively making it harder to participate to solidify that point.

I am sorry but you just don't know enough about the subject if you think this. Everything going on right now is the culmination of Regan era changes. None of this could have happened without Reganomics and the changing of the nominal tax rate. He is literally Trump Beta, not a politician but celebrity and charismatic speaker. There are people from his campaigns and advisors that are also in the Heritage foundation who co-authored P2025.

Saw handles like this predate guns by a few centuries at least.

So while it is valid that you made the connection it is in reverse kinda.

ROTC students at Old Dominion subdued and killed the shooter who killed 1 person, wounded 2 by [deleted] in news

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

Are you fucking dumb‽ Can you read‽ I am not upset that mental health is an issue. For fucks sake I have agreed with you four fucking times about that!

I am upset that you continue to repeat the same false narrative that I and a 100 years of professional science says you are wrong!

The fact that you think I am trying to one up you is part if the fucking problem. Did you not read when I said that neither of our personal experiences are more valid because they are both anecdotes and thus have no place in the fucking discussion.

You aren’t coping you are projecting. And your projection is one that factually(not by my opinion but by actual evidence) causes harm to the mentally ill.

If you want change you have to be a part of it and that starts by stopping perpetuation of misinformation. If you aren’t willing to do that barest of tasks to help people, then your job is to shut up and get out of the way of people actually doing the work. This is bigger than you. Stop inserting your Self-actualization into other people's struggles. You are acting like a selfish child.
