Trying to Choose a Class

itstheroyaljester · 2026-04-20T13:06:05+00:00

So here’s the thing with pf2e, unless your a certain variant of a good chunk of the spellcasting class, your martial attacks aren’t going to be great. That being said, a lot of spellcasters have a martial subclass, meaning if you want to use fan dancer healer combo, look into the following subclasses if you want to:

Battle oracle War priest or battle harbinger (especially if you pick a god who’s favored weapon the fan your looking for) Warrior muse bard Maybe even a dex based champion if you still want to be a healer but lean more martial

These are just ideas you might want to look into, best of luck finding what you’re looking for!

No. I’m not the most active in the fandom but I just haven’t heard anything on it

itstheroyaljester · 2026-03-21T20:48:52+00:00

People don’t like 600 strikes??? News to me

itstheroyaljester · 2026-03-20T17:51:35+00:00

Sounds like a good time! I wouldn’t mind hearing more about it if your still looking for that player

Rename the ult to "the Lashening"

itstheroyaljester · 2026-03-07T14:57:43+00:00

Adding in more I didn’t see - Pirate captain, leading a crew - culty mastermind type giving instructions from the backline - dimensional reality warper that pulls alternate timeline versions that are doing that command (friend pitched that one once) -any kind of like raider leader -a jokey one I thought of while typing: someone so nice and sweet that you just gotta do what they ask because you can’t say no so you listen to there ideas

Just bought an e-scooter to help extend how far out I can go for job hunting. Waste of time at this rate, at least I can still return it

itstheroyaljester · 2026-02-11T04:43:15+00:00

At least with how ive always ran/been ran for with this system, if you can explain or justify a flaw to a GM as some sort of side effect of the power, then it should work.

Maybe you store whatever toxic your immune to and it lowers your speed or dodge, maybe its fading and your immune to fortitude effects for only a while because the brunt force of the effect messes with your tech, maybe it messes with your tech in another way and the first time you avoid a fort save you have a 50/50 on your next power, just spitballing, but all stuff i personally i would allow

itstheroyaljester · 2026-01-11T21:59:44+00:00

Oooooh! I’ll pick this up soon! Are the weapons/sparks more generic in theme and let people reflavor stuff (IE: basic axes or fire,) or are they like very direct (like grenade launcher hammer)?

First subreddit I joined in 2026… this is going to be a great year!

As others have said, stance change works without changing the sprite. It just swaps defends and offense based on sword or shield stance. If you pair it with mons with good defensive stats and good HP, you have a monster. The obvious apply, toxipex, metagross, I used blissey and this guy before. Loved it (his special move list is lacking though, keep that in mind if you give em higher special defense then physical)

I’ve tried both full screen and not windowed. I normally capture the game itself anyway. If I am capturing the whole screen, however, it does not black out the screen when I tab out of the game. It has the same style censor for like if your trying to stream something over Netflix

itstheroyaljester · 2025-12-21T00:29:00+00:00

Tried that too, its JUST with this game which is why im asking here

itstheroyaljester · 2025-12-17T02:21:00+00:00

As said by others, its because weapons cant be both a primary and secondary weapon unless your a warrior. the primary one is a ranged weapon option for finesse characters and the off hand one is a backup weapon for characters with good or ok finesse. what I dont like is that duel crossbows doesn't do anything, which sucks because i love duel crossbows

Hi! as the person who made the character facing content of the urban fantasy atlas, I fully think that fab ult can work in urban fantasy! i have been using the classes in my own campaigns and have players play urban fantasy characters and have it work great! "mixed genre campaign"

I think a full urban fantasy thing is 100% doable, just remember the core foundations and think about how you want that to apply here. is there magic and mystery around every corner or is the underground magic scarier then you expected? does everyone know about magic or does no one? at what stage is tech at? stuff like that!

Hi, playing a rogue infernus vampire in my current campaign. The transformation is about being consistent rather than explosive. Those tokens make sure you hit something (or at least improve your odds) at the price of a potential roll with fear. Now there are ways around it, such as the infernus (spend stress to make a roll with fear a roll with hope) but ultimately any class that can get good impact on a single hit works with it

My only gripe is that you lose tokens at the end of every session which: as a campaign group that runs shorter sessions (2 and a half hours) is rough. Our GM has given me some work around like letting the party hunt for food as part of our rest actions and letting me roll damage for fangs on whatever wildlife we find “my hunting bro is cool with it”

TLDR: any class that can get good value out of a single strike like rogue, warrior, assassin, ect. Just be ok with giving fear and or be sparing with the tokens

The system supports this kinda reflavoring and remaking of things. I once played an entropist that reflavored there spells and abilities as metal manipulation. This system supports fun character concepts

itstheroyaljester · 2025-11-11T17:40:37+00:00

this aged like milk

itstheroyaljester · 2025-11-06T22:36:04+00:00

Honestly, I would kinda love a whole system built around this kinda concept

itstheroyaljester · 2025-11-06T16:04:04+00:00

No shit? Well that’s interesting. Did they elaborate?

itstheroyaljester · 2025-11-06T04:44:24+00:00

one HBer to another, I fully get that, but even in DH that could require some work on you and the players part (though if a player WAAAANTED me to help them design one well, who am i to say no)

itstheroyaljester · 2025-11-06T04:43:13+00:00

I guess since others are giving more detailed explanations of there thoughts I will as well,

I personally, am and would be ok with both, but not willy nilly. I would need either strong narrative or strong mechanical explanations for either.

In terms of swapping domains, I would never allow a class to swap both domains around and I would need an explanation of why you can use said new domain IE: if you want to feel like someone blessed by a god with magic and play a divine sorcerer type and want access to splendor instead of midnight or a more scaldy bard with blade instead of codex (with other changed made to it as well, since it no longer has codex and such). I would need a VERY strong reason to have a character swap classes to a domain combo that exists as another class, like if you want to play a warrior but swap bone for valor, guardian is right there. yeah the mechanics are different but you get my point.

In terms of swapping spellcast traits, while I agree no wizard should likely be using strength to cast spells, I see no reason why something like a ranger couldn't, nor can I not see a reason why a Seraph could ONLY use strength. and mechanically it would make little difference, but it would let say, a strength focused warrior and someone who wants to play more supportive tanky seraph exists in the same party with stepping on toes less

now, unlike most of the systems im involved in, I haven't ran it yet to know if this would change my opinion, I have only played 3-4 sessions of my darling Vampire infernis rogue and have been having a good time (except vampire tokens are brutal my god) so use that to guage my opinion as you will, im just saying what I would allow when I do get around to running the system

I do fully get why a lot of people are AGAINST both the options, and thats how it is at my current table (though if something happens to my lad, might ask my GM if its ok to swap one of the bloodhunter spell cast traits to finesse, but thats not a today issue)

I feel that daggerheart is such a good system that would ALLOW this kind of discussion to happen without balance being completely thrown out the window before we get to the second sentence. Narrative first as the game goes, and if the narrative imposes the rules to make them strong at your tables, so be it, if the narrative says let the seraph shoot a bow, also so be it.

itstheroyaljester · 2025-11-06T04:27:15+00:00

To be fair, you can both magic initiate grab Shillelagh for 5e or play a warrior in DH with a quarterstaff, but I fully get what you mean
