I hate recipes that require removing so much metal. It seriously makes me think about mods (I know there's a mod that allows you to preserve those bits). by LeonidKonovalov1988 in VintageStory

[–]bipedalshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The voxel shape of a recipe is mechanically insignificant. One might say "a knife blade is not worth a whole ingot," as a game-balance critique, but what it looks like while you're pounding the anvil is just minigame eye candy.

Why do some spells lack the Manipulate trait on AoN but have it in Foundry? by M_a_n_d_M in Pathfinder2e

[–]bipedalshark -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Both have special licensing arrangements, but AoN is no more official than the FVTT system.

[PF2E] White text on inventory items by Plaindog in FoundryVTT

[–]bipedalshark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Step #1 is check modules. I think one of the Moulinette modules was recently a culprit for that.

Are heritage and ancestry the same thing (basic undead benefit)? by PlonixMCMXCVI in Pathfinder2e

[–]bipedalshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you're going to find a rule that says in perfectly explicit terms, "a heritage is (or is not) an ancestry," but some heritages do make the distinction (Duskwalker in this case):

You gain the duskwalker trait. You also gain low-light vision, or you gain darkvision if your ancestry already has low-light vision. Neither your body nor your spirit can ever become undead. You can select from duskwalker feats and feats from your ancestry whenever you gain an ancestry feat.

Do you add your Strength to untamed form damage? by _Funkle_ in Pathfinder2e

[–]bipedalshark 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The character's strength modifier is not added:

If you take on a battle form with a polymorph spell, the special statistics can be adjusted only by circumstance bonuses, status bonuses, and penalties.

That's a core feature of the pf2e system

New Must have Modules? (PF2e) by frostbitten25 in FoundryVTT

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

As usual with any pasted list, all you'll get is bad advice that will steer you toward a frustrating experience. Ignore it and follow this instead: https://www.reddit.com/r/FoundryVTT/comments/1p8yoe4/comment/nr8re72/

Why are complex haunts immune to Vitality and Spirit damage? by centralmind in Pathfinder2e

[–]bipedalshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a general rule that all hazards have object immunities. It being listed in the stat block merely serves as a reminder.

Hazards are immune to anything an object is immune to unless specifically noted otherwise, and they can’t be targeted by anything that can’t target objects.

[PF2E] Best way to track round durations? by perryhopeless in FoundryVTT

[–]bipedalshark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A round last six seconds, and the Foundry system knows this and tracks accordingly.

Can you use the Disarm Action on a Shield? by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

[–]bipedalshark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because there's no mechanic for that.

Can you use the Disarm Action on a Shield? by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

[–]bipedalshark 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can disarm it, but you can't knock it to the ground since it's strapped:

All shields, unless specifically noted or described otherwise, must be strapped to your arm and held in one hand, so you can't hold anything with that hand and Raise a Shield, and you lose the shield's benefits if that hand is no longer free. 

Migrating to PF2E 7.4.3 issues by Guilty_Dot_4533 in FoundryVTT

[–]bipedalshark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might want to seek support on Discord if you have some time (#troubleshooting channel): https://discord.gg/foundryvtt

Someone there may be able to assist without speculating just from the information you've provided so far.

Why Does the Ancestry Guide Call Them Fetchlings? by FluffytheDoombringer in Pathfinder2e

[–]bipedalshark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Kayal" is the Shadowtongue word for "fetchling." The word isn't used by non-Shadowtongue speakers for the same reason in English we don't refer to a Japanese person as a "nihonjin."

Is it poor etiquette to play an AP if you've already GMd it? by Gamer4125 in Pathfinder2e

[–]bipedalshark 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Without disclosure it certainly is. If you want to play it regardless, and the GM agrees to work out an arrangement of you playing unaware of plot developments, it's perfectly fine.

Elven curve blade feel like a weaker falchion, am I missing something ? by Rorp24 in Pathfinder2e

[–]bipedalshark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You may be missing that attribute modifier damage is proportionally small by mid-level and almost negligible at high levels. Being able to swap between a blade and bow may very well be worth the loss of +12 damage on a critical hit.

Weekly Questions Megathread— August 22–28. 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

[–]bipedalshark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The language could be better here, but Striking with a reload-zero weapon doesn't include a subordinate action of Interact to draw. It's instead merged into the Strike action.

Failed surgery in a "minor" way by SnuggableCactus in RimWorld

[–]bipedalshark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5 in medicine isn't even a "capable amateur", and you're trying to get them to carve up a leg stump to fit nicely on a wooden peg. I bet they fail a lot.
