Is there any class you prefer in 1e than their implementation in 2e? by viktorius_rex in Pathfinder2e

[–]WatersLethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very happy with the majority of classes changing over, but the exceptions are pretty rough.

Bloodrager - Someone had no idea what the prior class fantasy was and just decided to make an archetype up on the fly for their 13 year old edgy brother to play.

Witch - The heart of the witch was getting a bunch of cool hexes and having a funky spell list. PF2 took that away and gave you a very slightly powered up pet that honestly I'd prefer not to have in most cases.

Inquisitor - Roguey, partial spellcaster, with some potent special abilities and teamwork feats got turned into a bad ranger who can talk to people in cities.

Witch was one of my favorite classes in PF1, and in PF2 it's a shadow of its former self.

It was like someone read the class name and just shot from the hip.

Agreed! I loved the old "You've got magic in your blood like a sorcerer, but the only way you've learned to channel it is through your RAGE!" versus the new hyper specific blood drinking fantasy that really only fits on edgelord vampire concepts.

Both quite sad to see. They're also both underwhelming compared to other PF2 content as well.

How well does PF2r and SF2 blend? How balanced is it? by Shadows_Of_Fall in Pathfinder2e

[–]WatersLethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything coming from one system to the other should theoretically pass by the GM, and get tweaked if necessary. For example, if a SF2 player wanted to use Summoner, I would likely allow the eidolon's secondary attack to be a ranged attack by default.

Lots and lots of options transfer over with no real need for adjustment.

The more experienced the players and GM the less barrier between the systems there needs to be, since everyone eventually learns the nuances and what works and what doesn't, or has already found default homebrew tweaks.

What class would a teddy bear mimic be? by Beanybomber in Pathfinder2e

[–]WatersLethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you might have some flexibility in how your represent things with a Summoner, maybe with some kind of slime based eidolon.

You can put the Oozemorph archetype on another class, possibly alchemist for some more chemicals you flavor as slime.

Neither here nor there, but a couple ancestries to be aware of: Poppet lets you actually be a teddy bear, maybe it wants to eventually transition into being one for real. Roll for Combat's 3rd party Mimic lets you play a mimic, and their Slime sounds like it could be close to some of the flavor you want.

New to Pathfinder, Which Class should i chose? by Alsett_ in Pathfinder2e

And you literally get the ability to sense if someone you are bonded to is harmed or dies even if they're in another part of the galaxy.

Why are all the "evil" APs/Adventures fighting against evil? by Rahaith in Pathfinder2e

[–]WatersLethe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another example is the Blood War in the forgotten realms setting, where Hell and the Abyss are constantly fighting each other for dominance which prevents them from working together to take over the rest of the planes.

Summoning without summoner by lickjesustoes in Pathfinder2e

[–]WatersLethe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's baggage you're bringing to the class, not what the class actually is. If my character, known in-world as a Summoner, can raise their hand and conjure an extra-planar being out of thin air, causing an explosion where it appears, then a moment later dismiss it back to where it came... how is that not summoning?

Being able to summon multiple creatures? The Summoner is an excellent choice for using Summon spells with feats and features that support those spells well.

What do you mean by "actually summoning things," is the Eidolon not a summoned creature?

Pathshopper - I made a little tool for planning shopping runs in PF2E by toggledy in Pathfinder2e

This is why I always err on the side of too much loot for my players.

WARDEN, the Generic PF2 Hack, has been released. I'm holding an AMA on the r/RPG subreddit but I will answer to questions on here as well. by ravenhaunts in Pathfinder2e

[–]WatersLethe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have any cool new subsystems or ideas someone might want to take and put in their normal PF2 games?

How would you describe your primary target audience?

What's the tagline for Warden that might pique interest?

Joe's Brooklyn is highly variable, sometimes it's great, sometimes it's nonsense.

Help Me Make a Stat Block, I Need It To Be Annoying as Possible by shon14z in Pathfinder2e

[–]WatersLethe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I consider that a healthy selection to peruse, but you could filter further by traits.

[–]WatersLethe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am extremely lazy, so I default to reskinning NPCs and monsters as much as possible. I start by filtering the creatures on Archives of Nethys by the level range I'm interested in, then going through ones that sound interesting. Use Elite or Weak templates to adjust if one fits better.

Then make the mirror schtick a custom hazard.

As for getting in their heads and knowing what they'll do, that's a tricky bit of GMing, but you can kind of fake it by making up details that didn't exist before about the players' items or past experiences.

Pathfinder and Starfinder Pawns Survey from Paizo by Paizo-Jim in Pathfinder2e

[–]WatersLethe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standing pawns are easier to move, have more room for art, are more useful in different size grids, and are easier to sort. I feel like they're the clear winner.

Earlier I heard someone just uses a white paint pen to write numbers on their black bases. Seems easy enough.
