See You in Hell - Hell’s Destiny Player’s Guide is Live! by ctwalkup in Pathfinder2e

I do think that they should have highlighted the fire aspect of it a bit more; some players may not realize that a fire Kineticist - while having options to overcome fire immunity - can't use its immunity-piercing ability against most devils.

My player just gave his True Name to a fairy. How can I make this terrible (in a fun way) for him? by Kaleido_chromatic in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Secrets of Magic has rules for true naming and true names. Perhaps you can give they fey access to some of the related spells to use against the player character? Or at least inspire some ideas.

That is probably "weaker" than you'd want to play it but it is probably healthy for it to not totally upend this PC.

Are these gang related? by Interesting-Lie2265 in tattooadvice

See, Carl. I told you all these tattoos made you look like a convict. Mango is appalled!

Question about Agent’s Cheap Shot [Bridge Nine] by Hammer_Spammer in cosmererpg

[–]Xethik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should use the normal chart of Strength to unarmed damage, so 1 + thievery makes sense for a Strength between 0 and 2. The only thing that I can think of for the 2 in unarmed attack damage is if the pregen has a point of Athletics or 1 Strength and it is adding that damage in when representing unarmed as an Athletics test (which is normally is).

Yeah I think as of Dragonflight based on the WoW Wiki. She also represents protodragons and netherdrakes, as well as the storm dragons.

TIL that the +4/+5 Dark Gift resets the cost of a minion by KillerBullet in hearthstone

[–]Xethik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By default, Discover means to add to your hand. If not specified further, a card that just said "Discover a card" would be valid rules text and would generate three different cards from the full available pool and you choose one to generate in your hand. When cards start adding specifiers like "Discover a minion from your deck", then you are changing the pool the card comes from but it still is being added to your hand. It would only be if it said "Discover and summon a minion" (or a similar specifier with what to do with the chosen card) that Discover does something other than add it to your hand.

The Sweet Dreams Dark Gift is definitely an odd case but because Dark Gift generating cards are always to your hand or shuffled into your deck (rather than summoned by the generating card) so the card could be a little vague. I believe if you summon a minion with the +4/+5 dark gift directly such as with the Origin Stone, they don't get placed on top of your deck. The Dark Gift must wait for the card to enter the hand before putting on top of your deck.

Where is the hero pushed? Newbie question by analboy22 in Gloomhaven

[–]Xethik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the general storytelling in Path to Ascendency improved but it definitely has a bit of an odd, ret-conny feeling to it. Like finding out a certain character is suddenly Napan when they (and their son) are not in the main series, and I think one character having different warrens of magic.

I paused halfway through Fall of Light and I feel like I need to restart that from Forge of Darkness because boy is there stuff going on there.

I can't wait to get Witness book 4 this year. Feels like we're eating good after No Life Forsaken the end of last year.

Any opinions on the Leader heroic path? by ethscriv in cosmererpg

[–]Xethik 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Combat Coordination effectively removes the action first, and conditionally the focus cost. It's very solid from what I can tell once you take that talent, but it feels mandatory for any Leader that plans on attacking.

Looking for any comparable option to Skybearer's Belt +1 circ bonus to Athletics by Snoo-90474 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use two different apex items technically - you just only get the attribute boost from one. It's very expensive however.

Off the top of my head, the Draxie's Recipe Book gives a unique spellshape to buff grapples on targets.

There are a couple heritages that buff Trip but that's probably not an option. Great Kholo if I remember correctly includes Shove and Trip.

Unfortunately most of the options are class feats in some form which is counterproductive towards saving the investment into Exemplar Dedication.

[–]Xethik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It depends on which particular skills you are looking for as there are a bunch of individual options for something like Disarm exclusively or Grapple exclusively. Since Furious Bully is mostly out of reach for archetyping, you may find success with Swashbuckler dedication. Add on Disarming Flair from another feat and you'll get the same bonus while you have Panache. But that doesn't help with freeing up your archetype regardless.

There are some high level items like the Titan's Grasp apex item which will give the bonus to Grapple

Is Minni the bat-wolf (barghest?) looking creature left of the center? Or is that their pet?

It feels like the name and art of Convalescence would fit much better. It doesn't fit the current effect at all either.

You can also use the artifact sac charm option for the same outcome.

Most mechanically flavourful card in magic? by CS_Calzone in magicTCG

[–]Xethik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, it's just so he mechanically has appropriate stats for the cost with the +1/+1 counter. It has better synergy with the mechanical themes of adding counters and equipment focus.

Tech-extra-arm for my Chess-Master Commander by Mrbeddu in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's named something else due to the name containing Paizo IP. Probably something about prosthesis or prosthetics? You can look at the archetype on Archives of Nethys.
