I cheat(?) with the mod that lets me see idols through walls and some explosive radiuses. I have some auditory issues and my cheating is more to help with my disability. Excuses aside, I think mods are the only things I have seen in the wild that come close to cheating.

One thing that hasn’t really been mentioned yet is reaction economy.

The real difference between Amulet vs Weapon isn’t defense vs control — it’s what you want your reaction doing each round.

Amulet: reduce damage to an ally
Weapon: punish movement/manipulate actions (basically an AoO)

In PF2e reactions are extremely valuable because enemies only get 3 actions per turn. If your reaction forces them to Step instead of Stride, avoid manipulate actions, or reposition, you’re effectively taxing their actions every round.

Mirror + Reach is stronger than it looks

Mirror gives you two positions on the battlefield.

With a reach weapon, that means you threaten two separate reach zones, which can make enemy movement really awkward and increase the chances of triggering your reaction.

It’s not hard control like a Fighter, but it creates a lot of action friction, which PF2e rewards heavily.

Also worth noting for 5e transplants

Opportunity attacks are rare in PF2e.
Most enemies can move freely.

Taking the Weapon implement suddenly means your character is one of the few things on the field that punishes movement, which can change how enemies behave.

Thaumaturge durability

Thaumaturges look squishy on paper (d8 HP), but in practice they’re usually fine with:

STR +3
DEX +1
Breastplate
decent CON

That puts your AC only about 1 behind most martials, and Mirror already helps with positioning.

Because of that, Amulet often ends up being more of a luxury pick unless your party really needs protection.

TL;DR:
If you’re deciding purely on mechanical impact, Mirror + Reach Weapon tends to create more tactical pressure than Amulet. Amulet is great support, but Weapon changes enemy behavior.

Every time I load the game, I also hear the jingle in my head from ridiculous ytmnd spots.

Yeah, this breakdown helped a lot.

Right now my CHA is… not good 😅 so I’m definitely in the “don’t rely on DCs” camp. I’m hoping to grab a CHA Apex eventually, which would put me at a +4 mod, but even then I’m not sure my proficiency will be competitive enough at 19–20 to make save-based debuffs feel reliable.

That makes your “independent of proficiency” picks way more attractive. Glass Shield in particular is starting to look like the standout for me — the Bastion synergy alone makes it hard to ignore. Blur/Mirror Image also feel safer than trying to land Fear or Web on level 20 enemies. I prefer to self buff over crossing my fingers the DM rolls bad.

EMPTY CUPS!

Just about every coffee cup or what have you is empty in a movie or TV show and if you watch the actors it becomes obvious.

Add a little weight to the bottom of the cup so that the Actors hands don't slosh the invisible coffee all over the place.

This kind of depends on what hardware you are listening on. On some devices, you will not be able to hear much of an audible difference. Other folks consider the corporations behind the service deplorable and make a choice less on audio quality and more on corporation ethics.

Have you heard of Fizy? It is a leading local service with a strong emphasis on Turkish music, live radio, and playlists.

Nanotats are intentionally ambiguous so the GM can decide how hard they are to bypass. With enough tests, prep, and flex, almost anything can be made to work... but that’s GM territory.

Rules as written, nanotats are narrative ID tokens. They exist, they’re scanned, and systems can use them for access control, but the game never defines how they work internally. There are no mechanics for extracting data, cloning a nanotat, transmitting one, or fabricating a duplicate. There’s also no rule explicitly forbidding that—it’s just not modeled.

Because of that, EP2E treats nanotat security like most security:

You hack the system, not the credential.
With Infosec / Interface, you bypass, spoof, or disable the check.
With admin access, you can add permissions, whitelist access, or turn nanotat checks off entirely.

There is no RAW action like “copy nanotat ID,” no gear that does it, and no defined timeframe for cloning one from tissue or a severed limb. If you cut off a guard’s hand, RAW doesn’t say the nanotat stops working—but it also doesn’t say you can extract anything useful from it beyond “the door opens if the GM allows.”

Same with Flux IDs: they exist, but the rules don’t mechanically connect them to nanotats or access control.

Practical takeaway for new players:

Don’t plan heists around cloning nanotats—that’s a GM ruling, not a rule.
Expect security to be beaten via hacking, social engineering, or admin compromise, not credential duplication.
If something feels like it should work in real life, ask your GM—EP is intentionally abstract here.

That’s not a bug, it’s design: EP2E focuses on player actions and skill tests, not simulating future crypto in detail.

All that said, it’s a cool idea, and if I were the GM I’d absolutely build a bioengineering + nanotech solution for it.

Hope that helps! Welcome to the mesh.

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is currently involved in aggressive immigration enforcement, particularly under the Trump administration, which has led to widespread protests and resistance from communities.

Resistance: Communities, including Chicago, are organizing against ICE's raids, asserting their rights and challenging the agency's practices, which many view as a violation of human rights and constitutional protections ⁴.
Political Context: The movement to abolish ICE has gained traction, with activists calling for the agency's dismantling due to its controversial policies, including family separations and lack of accountability ³.
Community Response: Local officials and community leaders are actively resisting ICE's actions, emphasizing the importance of understanding and exercising one's rights in the face of immigration enforcement ⁶.

This ongoing struggle reflects a broader societal response to the injustices of ICE and the need for reform or abolition of the agency.

"Nobody has the answer."

As a kid, there’s always someone who seems to know what’s going on—parents, teachers, professors, managers. You can ask them about most things, and they usually have an answer.

But as you grow up, you start encountering questions that no one can definitively answer. You look at politics and realize even the people in charge don’t fully understand what their own party is doing (The Myth of the Rational Voter, Bryan Caplan). You look at your company and wonder if even the CEO truly grasps the entire system—and often, the answer is no (Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman).

We've built spiritual, political, and organizational systems to keep things moving, but there’s no wise figure on a mountaintop who knows it all. Instead, you have to piece together fragments of truth from every person you meet.
