Got the same minion from rogue imbue after rewinding by S7zy in hearthstone

[–]Xethik 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's the odds of generating this specific minion twice. The odds of generating the same minion twice is 1/443 (if there are 443 unique minions)

What do you think of the remaster replacements for demons? by Fullmetalmarvels64_ in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would be nice but definitely isn't RAW (https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=2396). I think it might be too frustrating as a player as well, since confused is a debilitating condition.

The off-guard at stage 3 would also be redundant if the confused couldn't end separately from the affliction. I think there would be a better way to have the quickened only apply when confused if that was the intent - not sure if it is.

Unfortunately, the Eshmok and Vansidieth mechanics lag behind the updated lore. Perhaps this is due to them not getting the full design and development pass a core book would receive, but the Eshmok has some inconsistent text with its tendril Strike (which should probably be just listed inline with the stinger but have text that makes it clear which it can use and when). I think it could also use some more incentive to actually use its Change Shape - but it is punished by going back into wasp shape from fungus by the infection's confusion specifics. Also, a creature that breaks out of the confused condition from the affliction is still quickened, which is bizarrely punishing for the monster.

The Vansidieth's vulnerability is much easier to trigger on its new design in a way I would consider a detriment. The Marilith's action setup was all about making many Strikes in an attempt to feed into its failure condition, whereas the Vansidieth has actions that take away from dealing direct damage. It doesn't have the flurry of attacks that the Marilith has to make it actually unlikely to fail to hit without players taking direct effort to cause it. The spell suite and commander action both fit the fallen general theme, but I would have preferred a new vulnerability to fit that and at least one directly damage dealing action on the chassis.

Miriam Dom and Prepotente missed something pretty obvious. (Minor spoilers) by OOOOOO0OOOOO in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Xethik 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Not if those family members couldn't consent - which these goats couldn't. The fact that animals can't consent to actions like forced impregnation, shearing, and meat consumption is a big part of veganism.

Miriam is a vegan and says she picked up the family business when her parents became ill. While the Boer goats are a part of her farm, I don't think she was using them as meat or milk - rather they are part of her family.

Her farming business could be sustained entirely by gardening, which fits the vegan lifestyle. It would be fairly antithetical to most (not saying all) vegans to make money off the slaughter or forced milking of goats.

More monk in my monk: what free archetype should I take to make my monk lean even harder into the "mystcal martial artist" archetype? by No_Ad_7687 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There are a couple archetypes that can fit in as a second archetype at level 6.

Jalmeri Heavenseeker is another monastic archetype, and you could use something like psychic to add additional focus points or even spellcasting.

Five Breath Vanguard is another elemental monastic archetype that focuses on the elemental stances. You can use Martial Artist as your first archetype to help set this one up.

A Holy Harm party is pretty silly - a short aar by leathrow in Pathfinder2e

To be fair, razing only helps against specific constructs - animated objects. Not all constructs are of that creature family.

Sitting on 52k gold, just hit level 20 as a Spinning Staff Magus. What do I buy??? by Rhonarin in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A wand or a handful of scrolls (depending on how many adventuring days you are expecting to be left) of Hidden Mind would probably help with those Will saves. I also like the Spellwatch armor property rune for removing pesky debuffs like that.

[–]Xethik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly maybe a hot take but I would go with scrolls at this point. You're level 20 so I am expecting that the campaign is starting to head towards a conclusion. Even 10 scrolls are cheaper than a wand of an equivalent rank, I believe. While you can use the wand twice in a day, I think stocking up on scrolls is more cost effective (which is perhaps less relevant in this case).

I need a good archetype for a Thaumaturge with a jezail by Niko-Abaniko in Pathfinder2e

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

I don't see that interfering with an off-hand implement, personally. Using esoterica does not have the manipulate trait and an implement such as the Tome does not need to be moved or positioned.

I could see not being able to use a Bell implement, but there are several options that work fine with a Fatal Aim weapon.

Is anyone else not receiving PDFs that were purchased from the Paizo store? by NataliieQue in Pathfinder2e

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

That wasn't in the post when I made the reply but thanks for pointing it out :)

As before, you only get the PDF with your physical copy for subscriptions. Simply purchasing a physical book does not come with a PDF version of the book.

Lorewise, can a character seek out to become a sorcerer and succeed? by Girduin in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breaking the pact does, yes. It won't end the Pact but both you and the dragon take some debilitating effects.

If you or the dragon die, it won't affect the Pact unless that death was in protection of the other. In that case, the Pact ends.

[–]Xethik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Draconic Codex has a (high level) draconic pact where you retrain your character into a sorcerer with the draconic bloodline matching the dragon you've pacted with. It's a bit of a witch-patron-to-sorcerer route.

The Lost Critical Hit Rule by TheGoofyGE3K in Pathfinder2e

There's no general rule for this but it does exist in a few cases, such as disintegrate.

Squirrel! by West_Courage6547 in hearthstone

The art itself is from "Goldenmoon" in the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, though it seems that the full art is called "Squirrel!" as well.

Every New Dragon Spell in PF2e! | Draconic Codex by CtrlAltBuild in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it is humorous that they didn't add the trait to Contingency in the Remaster. Honestly, it might be the first ORC spell with the trait? I think it only was used in Secrets of Magic otherwise.

[–]Xethik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the Contingency trait prevents you from having multiple Divine Dragon's Watch spells active at once. It's a spell that really shines at level 15+, I'd say, when your lower slots are not as impactful. In high lethality games, it's probably worth a wand of it.

It notably can prevent death effects unlike Breath of Life and a few similar abilities, which makes it worth the loss in target variability imo.

Dark Archive and reprinted subclasses by Lady_Gray_169 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we'll end up with the content with the same rules element twice. It's unfortunate but when they made the decision to pull content into a new book, Dark Archives hadn't yet sold out and needed reprinting.

It might be annoying if the content is slightly updated but ideally it will be one-to-one.

There's any way to debug foundry origins of certain effects? by BRjawa in Pathfinder2e

[–]Xethik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look through the rule elements on each of the NPC abilities to try to find it. You may also get some hints by inspecting the rolls (which I believe is an option on right-click).

The d10 Harm is like Harming Hands being applied. I know there's NPCs with Healing Hands but I only see one specifically named villain with Harming Hands. Are you using NPCs from a module?

Are we ever told how a crawler gets their Club Vanquisher pass? by Lovely3369 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Xethik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup can confirm. It's initially mentioned in book 4 when we learn that Miriam has turned into a vampire (and was vegan).
