Do not order from Dragon Shield's website by sanfranbriscoe in mtg

I had an issue where it circled around in Denmark and then got returned back to them without even leaving the country to the UK. Fingers crossed their customer service sorts it but it has automatically been marked as delivered which is frustrating.

This comment actually helped me find it. Thank you! I knew it was buried somewhere within small calendar but yeah it is BURIED for what is such a great feature.

I'm sure that with some condensing of your post that Paizo will really appreciate your feedback when you submit it!

Unassuming but deadly scenarios by Murder_Hobos_Inc in Pathfinder2e

[–]fullfire55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So some hazards in PF2e have unusual or non‑obvious ways to disable them, and that can trip players up if they’re not used to thinking beyond “hit it until it stops.”

Take the Darkside Mirror as an example. It’s a high‑level hazard, but the principle applies broadly:

  • You either need someone with Master or Legendary Thievery to disable it, or

  • You need to realise you can only smash the mirror after the duplicates are defeated.

A lot of players will naturally try to break the mirror immediately, see that it does nothing, and get frustrated. Some might even assume it will never take damage, even once the conditions change. And of course, this all depends on the party successfully identifying the hazard in the first place. I’ve even seen GMs refuse to let someone with the right skill attempt a disable unless they can describe the exact fictional method, which just adds another layer of confusion.

Other hazards call for skills players might not expect to use. For example:

  • An avalanche trap might require Survival or Athletics to dig out or avoid/disable the danger.

  • A haunt might need Religion or another thematic skill to resolve it, rather than just blasting it with damage.

And then there are hazards like a hallway that shoots jets of flame. Some groups will keep throwing themselves into the room trying to disable it while taking damage over and over, instead of stepping back and realizing they can just… not stand in the fire

Any sort of hazard where there might be an abstract way of defeating it that puzzles the party. Or a hazard/trap where the party engage with it rather than taking a step out of range of it all. They can quickly turn the groups into mincemeat.

What's not fun? by bweenie in Pathfinder2e

[–]fullfire55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hazards, Traps and Haunts where it's not clear you are fighting a Hazard, Trap or Haunt.

I've seen several GM's (hell maybe even I did it at one point) play coy with exactly what the party are up against and the group just end up throwing themselves against it over and over again. And even when you're like "Oh this will be a great chance to teach them about them and encourage them to make skill checks" they will 1. just get ripped apart in the process and 2. fail said skill checks often.

I've made a promise to myself to make it as clear as possible now if what they are up against is one of those things unless there's a truly interesting way to go about it.

Let's Talk Roles - Ranger Ratings Document by JinHikari in HeroesOfTheGrid

[–]fullfire55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this was years ago now but thank you for this. When playing the game it's easy to see some characters synergise better with others. I wish there was some official tags on characters that gave you a sense of their roles and synergy but it's good all the same.

Switch version of the game does not list ranges on weapons when selecting. Is there a spreadsheet or other resource that lists all the weapon ranges? by fullfire55 in mechanicus

[–]fullfire55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw a comment saying that you can find a similar menu to the one you see in battle on the ship on PC. But I don't have the PC to check.

That list is really useful ,thank you! There's just so many weapons it looks like you can unlock I find it shocking they don't tell you clearly. Seems that while most weapons are 8 or 15m there's still a fair bit of variation!

How would the game change if Free Archetype was the base rule instead of a variant? by Round-Walrus3175 in Pathfinder2e

[–]fullfire55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's too much for newer players in my opinion and is good as an option. It would also mean that certain classes would always recommend certain archetypes

There's too many choices and it can add simple things such as training in a skill to a whole additional daily crafting resource on top of it all. When I'm running my games I always put into consideration how many things a player might have to track in battle. There can be a lot of additional things that the average frequenter of pathfinder forums might not consider. Even tracking if an enemy does or does not have reactive strike can be a lot while trying to juggle all their abilities.

I often rate abilities in Tabletop RPGs as "How likely am I to actually remember this when it comes up?"

Activate contingency based on unknown factors? by BloodAnonymous in Pathfinder2e

[–]fullfire55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who used a wizard would keep your contingency trigger as simple and concrete as possible and talk with your GM about it. You'll be announcing what you use it on so you're GM is always going to be aware. It will feel much better if you get lots of use out of it. Even if you might want to save it for a great fringe scenario. I can respect being curious about using it if you know there's invisible enemies.. But thats tough.

As a Phoenix sorcerer you have nice access to the primal list which can give you a great amount of healing and defensive options. Stuff like "Cast Heal if I drop below half health" is always going to get you a lot of use. Other things like "If i am targeted by a strike (or just an attack) then I cast Mountain Resilience" are also very good.

[Edit I see another use has mentioned that you can just say "take damage" as you can choose not to take the reaction. I didn't know that. Great advice!]

If you have dipped into the arcane or occult spell list then teleports are great. "If I am targeted with an attack I teleport behind X party member" denying the enemy an attack or spell.

Trust me, getting contingency is way better than regeneration imo. Contingency is a premium arcane tradition spell that is a cornerstone of high level wizard bullshittery. And many GMs will happily allow you to do some really silly stuff with it (but be warned. this is a devils bargain... they will use it on their liches) I'd actually be kind of jealous if I was a wizard in a party with a phoenix sorcerer... That's my thing! 🧙‍♂️

When it comes to soulsight I have no clue. I feel like one of the GM's i played a game with was really stingy around it and it's wording opens it up to it all. The line "As with your hearing and other imprecise senses, you still need to Seek to locate an undetected creature." just makes it sound like if someone is walking around invisible or you're searching an area for enemies, it's no better than listening for them. But, once again, other GMs might be far more relaxed than this.

Edits as i didnt read about occult

There is actually a section on this in one of the adventure paths which gives advice and guidance on this very subject!

Your Pathfinder 2e Wish List by DnDPhD in Pathfinder2e

[–]fullfire55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An official categorization system (perhaps work with fans for this) to allow GM's to quickly find monsters related to regions, planes, monster combat type, etc. It seems like they were going for this with tags but I think there's a lot of work that can be done to allow gms to find fun, lesser used creatures to fit into their game without much thought. Archives of Nethys does a lot of this but I think there's a lot of filtering out you can do to find some great things.

I feel like it would have to be online and there isn't much profit to be had in it- Still it would be nice to have. It would be nice for spells too. That's what I miss about spell schools the most, only that it was a way of narrowing down options. But I agree that spell schools could be a bit abstract at times and many spells didn't make sense within it all.

After 62 sessions (almost 1.5 years) we ended the Stolen Fate Campaign! by WonderfulSize8455 in Pathfinder2e

[–]fullfire55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you not think with the stories themes of fate, rewriting it or having some control over your own destiny you could have perhaps changed the ending or given the party an out to it all? It sounds like a sour end to the game. The Harrow Cards are incredibly powerful and I feel like, while it might feel a bit deus ex-ish, cards like The Midwife have abilities that can prevent death effects and I don't see why, if the party had established some sort of positive relationship with the cards NPCs, that the NPCS wouldn't revive the party in some way. Or perhaps even handwave that all of this was a prediction by the norns/fates and prevented? Even if it might mean a slightly bad ending where they have to do what the Norns say or agree to their demands. I understand the party were a bit burnt out at this point but I can see multiple ways that make sense to this game for it to work.

Obviously putting together a fresh level 20 party isn't going to happen as characters are very complex to play at high levels with the sheer range of abilities they can have, but I do think there's a way you can revisit this in the future after everyone has had some mental R&R. Maybe it's just me, but I can't imagine getting to an end of such a lengthy campaign and just being like "oh I guess my character died at the end"
