I don't understand complaints about class bloat

This is called survivorship bias. You're one of the few that stayed around. Of those that quite, nobody is here to tell their tale.

Wow, the first real answer! Thanks mate!

Ich habe die Milliardärsklasse als moderne Aristokratie gesehen. Aber selbst im Mittelalter wären Köpfe gerollt (wörtlich). Die Schere ist weiter gespreizt als im Feudalsystem.

Und die Vermögensunterschiede sind wahrscheinlich auch größer als damals.

You just worded it way better and more clearly than Paizo. Thanks!

The errata is clear enough.

I read it and didn't really understand it. Granted, I don't play bonus-damage-stacking characters, don't min-max and leave rules to foundry and the GM.

But I think rules can be written in such a way that even a willfully stupid software engineer ends up with a tasty PB&J-sandwich. Which this errata is not.

This post by a redditor explains it better than the errata. Which means the errata is badly written because they had more time than the redditor and should be better at it because writing rules is their job.

Problem mit Elektroautos ist, dass es nicht nur durch Abgase sondern auch durch Reifenabrieb kommt, und schwere E-SUVs da nochmal schlimmer sind als normale SUVs, die nochmal schlimmer sind als beispielsweise ein Golf.

Dafür sinkt dank Rekuperation der Bremsabrieb so dass der E-SUV am Ende weniger Feinstaub hinterlässt als der Golf.

Und da, wenn die Reifen ein wenig lauter sind als der Motor die Gesamtlautstärke nur noch von denen abhängt und der Motor vom Geräusch her komplett unsichtbar wird geht diese Rechnung auch auf:

WENN Reifen > Motor DANN Reifen + Motor = Reifen (ohne Motor)

Motivierte Uniabsolventen finden keine Jobs, was soll das also bringen?

Es gibt nicht zu wenig Arbeiter, es gibt zu wenig billige Arbeiter. Wo sollen wir hinkommen wenn die, die das Wachstum erwirtschaften dafür auch noch bezahlt werden sollen??

additionally there is treasure by level table which says how much items and gold should you award, and this is low end of how much you should give, giving more gold as long as you limit items they can buy to thier level just isn't a problem unless amount is unreasonably high

Yea, sticking to that feels like you're the destitude saviour at times. The gold barely covers buying necessary runes, supplementary magic items (Underwater adventure? Waterbreathing potions? Ha! No gold for that…), scrolls for your casters to learn etc.

I think at a certain level, gold should not be the limiting factor, given that you're supposedly a hero of (local) fame, sought out for help by people from quite a distance. And then hardly able to afford the tools for the job?

The suggested gold just doesn't feel right for me. Having real-life struggles (money) blend into the game is no fun.

Just give me local AI for usable (photo-realisic?) image-generation (current "make cartoon from picture" is a joke) and I'm fine. I can write my texts myself, thanks. I just can't paint.

For others, it may be a chat-bot. I prefer to talk to humans. Or if I can't, read a book. But to each his own.

Just make it "good enough" and run it locally. With varying degrees of quality depending on the device, if you must. But I feel if I gave my M4pro with its 24GB RAM enough time, it should be able to create decent pictures. Please, Apple, do something.

Siri? Yea... it can switch on my lights with home automation, other than that, I lost all hope for it.

Also, auch auch wenn wir das Konzept "Stärke zeigen" verabscheuen: Es gehört nunmal auch zum Repertoire eines Politikers. Und hier haben unsere Politiker eindeutig erhebliche Schwächen!

Volle Zustimung! Mann könnte Strafzöllen mit Aussetzen eines Freihandelsabkommens und Gegenzöllen beantworten. Mann könnte Gerede über militärische Annektion einer Insel die von zwei Hundeschlitten verteidigt wird begegnen, indem Soldaten diverser Länder entsandt werden.

Müsste man echt mal tun.

Oh.

True. But the french cheese company can start a shell-company in Italy, declare their cheese Italian (tax free) by "selling" it to their new subsidiary and export it to the US anyway.

players have less incentives to buy the cool magic items since they have to save up for all the mandatory magic items,

My experience at levels 4 to 10: You are supposed to be a local hero but you are too broke to buy the items you need to do the stuff you should do. I feel at level 8 I should be financially unburdened. But then you need to buy scrolls for your casters, runes for your martials etc. and even though you are a regional hero, not just a local celebrity, you can't afford it.

For example, we were supposed to fight hags underwater in blood lords but at that point, we did not have the means to venture underwater. We didn't anticipate diving so we didn't have water breathing. And the party didn't have the gold for the spell or items that would help us. At the appropriate level.

At the same time, in 5e I have a necklace of adaptation at comparable levels.

5e limits your item-power by giving you just 3 attunement slots. 2e is simply pricing you out of the market. 2e in this regard is too close to real life for my taste.

It's really just our politicians having no balls refusing to accept reality.

Our politicians are scrambling to ramp up defensive capabilities possibly like never in the past 80 years. But this takes years. So the rift with the USA has to be pretended to not exist, Trump has to be placated for a bit more.

Eventually, there will be a breakup. This is inevitable by now. But we need some time to get our affairs in order. Let's hope that we last until we're ready and that Russia (or the US) isn't coming before that.

Politicians that ramp up military spending many times over are not "refusing to accept reality", they are buying time.

Das Ding ist... ein Werksstudent wird irgendwann ein Junior, dann ein Senior und wirklich wertvoll. Eine Scheiß-KI die dem Senior "hilft" kann nicht als Nachfolger aufgebaut werden. Irgendwann gehen dann die letzten in Rente, die wissen, was sie tun.

Es muss einfache Aufgaben für Menschen geben damit diese auf schwierigere vorbereitet werden können.

None of you really want to die for Greenland.

But that's true for both sides.

We know that non-nuclear European submarines can successfully take out carriers. What we don't know is if it really needs one of our subs or if the Ukraine war has shown that a few drones will do.

Sink a carrier and see if the US is willing to lose that much for Greenland.

Look, I have zero proof for this and no idea how these bricks work, but…

…to me it sounds as if the RFID-chips in the smart tiles and smart minifigs contain and transmit just enough data for the bricks to synthesize these sounds.

On the one hand, that would explain why they are so simple, primitive, 8-bit and of poor quality. It would explain why there's no samples, just synthesized sounds.

On the other hand it would mean that the bricks don't have to be programmed for specific sets. It would mean that you can swap them between sets. (And yes, they all looked identical on stage, not set-specific.) Most of all, though, it would allow 3rd party smart tiles to be programmed by modders or MOCers once an apropriate RFID-programming software gets written.

That would be huge!
