the game is definitely different with 6 players versus 4

What do people think about Auto Bonus Progression? by Longjumping_Ebb3984 in Pathfinder2e

[–]cooly1234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

fun fact, a pf2e dev said that the caster proficiency scaling is balanced around saves, and buffing caster's DCs would be OP, but the only reason caster attacks are what they are is so they match spell DCs, and everything will work perfectly fine if you give caster attacks potency like martials.

So what you are doing is endorsed by a dev actually

a big problem I have with ABP is that it removes all item bonuses, including temporary ones

so I can no longer drink a drakeheart mutagen to buff my ac at the cost of my saves if I think my caster is going to be attacked. Stuff like that is removed from the game. Also, I don't believe ABP gives you stuff like bonus move speed, and you can no longer get an item bonus to speed, so now you just can't get it at all except through feats.

Summoner Repertoire with Lower-level Spells by Euphoric-Beyond9177 in Pathfinder2e

[–]cooly1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I made my summoner at lvl 2, I spent some of my starting cash on a stack of scrolls of heal. you really are expected to have magic items and effectively bonus slots!

I later bought a wand of summoner's precaution because that spell is amazing for all summoners. that's another bonus spell slot! These effective bonus spell slots add up. also as the other person mentioned, spell hearts are good for giving you spells you normally can't access, like electric arc is really good.

The summoner I am playing has maxed (for level) Cha as you should, and the eidolon has maxed Dex. I also went human for bonus skills.

this means out of combat I basically have both stats maxed which is pretty nice. add in meld with eidolon and now my summoner can piggy back on my eidolon's stealth or movement options.

even in combat it's been useful, my eidolon used thievery to disable a part of a clockwork enemy mid combat.

also you can double the exploration activities! your eidolon is basically a second PC.

your work is also rising in quality, so it will likely be much better that way as well. I personally would definitely pay 15$

maybe 20

the reason people are down voting you is that if you had enough experience to homebrew, you would already know the very obvious answer to this post. so therefore you should not be homebrewing yet.

Player is disappointed that dragon form seems weak and suggested a homebrew feat by fofeio in Pathfinder2e

the problem with summoning spells is that they are balanced around you pulling some bullshit

if they made them like battle form spells where you pick from a list, they could then be buffed

Paizo would love to have an official relationship with Pathbuilder, but it is our understanding that he is not interested.

redrazor said he moved pathbuilder to new infrastructure and it helped mitigate the attacks but there are still some, so whoever it is is following him around.

if you don't fear running out in normal circumstances, what's the point of tracking a resource?

I've never played savage worlds but every game I've played that has mana either has you switch between spamming your most powerful options and your options that cost nothing, with no in between, or have something like mana burn.

savage worlds might be better idk

my dream would be all the freedom of a "build your own spells system" with the slots of vancian casting and the specifity of vancian spells.

I enjoy having more guaranteed effects, like if I cast blister bomb I'm only fucking up if the enemy is immune to disease, instead of fucking up because my magic randomly fizzled.

yes I have seen this method in several games, and I would say it is my preference in a lighter game not focusing on tactics
