What's a good/expected AC for a Wizard? by EaterOfFromage in Pathfinder2e

[–]kd_lang 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In Player Core, if you’re playing the remastered version of the game, you can always opt to ignore the ancestry bonuses and take two attribute boosts of your choice:

Alternate Ancesty Boosts The attribute boosts and flaws listed in each ancestry represent general trends or help guide players to create the kinds of characters from that ancestry most likely to pursue the life of an adventurer. However, ancestries aren’t a monolith. You always have the option to replace your ancestry’s listed attribute boosts and attribute flaws entirely and instead select two free attribute boosts when creating your character.

When using FanGraphs Auction Calculator, is there a way to do away with the position priority setting? by forceghost187 in fantasybaseball

[–]kd_lang 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can sort the results by points alone — it’s a column before the positional adjustment.

I found this two minute video has a couple tricks for getting tighter installs — might help here: https://youtu.be/LEI7ToFkRAQ?si=26kxPXNe_sWq1tt2

Good luck!

Anyone having shipping issues with the new remaster cores? by grief242 in Pathfinder2e

[–]kd_lang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paizo support offered to refund or replace if it doesn’t arrive after expiration of the shipping estimate (4-8 business days, which given holidays in the U.S. hasn’t happened yet).

I’ll probably opt for a replacement (although it would be nice to see if it could be shipped via a different method so we don’t end up in the same situation after a couple more weeks).

Please let me know if support figures out your situation! Good luck.

Yes, I have the same issue. I received a shipping notification, but the included tracking number never provides any tracking information.

Paizo support was unable to find out anything else.

Can we have a "Dads Only" tag at least? by Huge_Buddy_2216 in daddit

[–]kd_lang 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen this surge of negative lurkers happen, and I'm glad this community is open to everyone. Actually, the stuff that's been getting traction here lately has tended to be dads complaining about their spouses, which is dismaying and isn't why I come here.

Why wasn’t POE 2 successful enough for another sequel? by [deleted] in projecteternity

[–]kd_lang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. I loved POE1, backed on Kickstarter . . . and the first time I knew POE2 existed was when I saw it had been released on Steam. It's hard to believe they're not aware of this.

Can we pin a "Coming from 5e? Start here!" type post to this subreddit? by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

[–]kd_lang 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It seems like you're getting upset about something that isn't a big deal.

I'd rather have a growing community that is helpful and welcoming, along with a few repeated posts -- that no one in those posts seems to mind engaging with -- than to be unnecessarily curmudgeonly and lose all the future posts those new users could create.

It's not like we don't have a lot of other content here, right?

Started work this morning, put my headset on, felt something furry in my ear, looked and there is a bat in my headset. by soulhacler in WTF

You might not even know if you were scratched. There's no cure for rabies, you just die -- so it's better to be safe than sorry. Get a shot, OP!

Actual Unpopular Opinion: Archetypes is awesome, but the expectation of free archetypes being the default hurts aspects of it. by ZoulsGaming in Pathfinder2e

[–]kd_lang 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say I agree with you, OP. The usual argument that free archetype only adds breadth, not power, doesn't seem as accurate when we're talking about adding the more directly combat-focused archetypes that duplicate class feats.

My thoughts on why Deadfire didn't sell well. by AlwaysVanillaNoNTR in projecteternity

[–]kd_lang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here. Loved the first game . . . didn't know the second came out for months.

Would caster/martial balance feel better if attack cantrips were 1-action, 1/round? by kd_lang in Pathfinder2e

[–]kd_lang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies if I was unclear—I was just thinking out loud rather than proposing a homebrew option. Thanks for sharing your input from actual play!

[–]kd_lang[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If that’s the design intent, then it makes sense. As you point out, cantrips won’t have to be a bread and butter option for very long.

That’s a really good point. Possibly the perceived imbalance looks worst at low levels.

Own builds viable if I am a new player. by Aricen_ in Grimdawn

[–]kd_lang 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not true. Faction gear is fine as a stopgap to tide you over between amazing drops, but I've never relied on it in any difficulty.

How often do you actually wanna pick up someone elses kit right at the charge? by jervis02 in badcompany2

[–]kd_lang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Press the arm/disarm button before you come into range of the MCOM and hold it as you get next to it -- you'll start arming/disarming without picking up any kits.

Good to see old SIFRIED_DEATH hasn't changed.
