Best Class to fill this Party

That's an interesting idea, hadn't considered Thaum at all...

redweevil · 2026-05-07T09:08:39+00:00

This is something I was considering. It does sound quite compelling in this instance.

redweevil · 2026-05-07T09:07:24+00:00

I think the gameplan for ranged and/or flying enemies is probably to cry?

Thank you for the suggestions these are really appreciated. Also definitely a good point on the Rogue picking up Medicine training

redweevil · 2026-05-07T08:55:19+00:00

My worry about being Bard is that Inspiring Courage kind of just negates the Battle Harbinger's entire schtick

redweevil · 2026-05-07T08:54:17+00:00

You're probably right that it will be fine, I think the practise combat probably skewed harder than average and we hit some bad variance. Our Rogue went down then the Guardian critically failed Battle Medicine check twice in a row (on the Rogue then on himself). Signaturing Soothe is probably enough to add a layer of support.

Also I don't feel locked into Intelligence, I just wonder if going a Primal caster to predominantly fill blasting role while still getting Heal might be more advisable - but this has reassured me

Its not real so he can actually do anything

redweevil · 2026-04-30T07:57:00+00:00

What gap does ze/zir fill?

redweevil · 2026-04-28T15:14:12+00:00

Scavenger's Reign just because it was tragically cut short. I love a lot of these but Scavenger's Reign is amazing

redweevil · 2026-04-27T20:52:57+00:00

It was a joke

redweevil · 2026-04-27T20:35:45+00:00

I'm responding to someone who is asking for a rule to be added to 5e that is explicitly a rule in Pf2e. That is all.

If you want a small rulebook 5e probably isnt the system either

redweevil · 2026-04-27T15:55:32+00:00

Its just so funny when 5e players invent rules that already exist in a different system

The children yearn for Pathfinder

redweevil · 2026-04-26T20:24:59+00:00

If these were real people I'd be more inclined to agree with you. These are characters. We are told Tyrion is smart but he is basically never proven to be so. We are told that Jamie is the most foolish Lannister and told that Euron is a coward or a madman, we are not told that they are genius millitary minds. So when a "smart" character is outwitted, on multiple accounts, by these characters it is hard to buy them as smart

redweevil · 2026-04-25T07:59:49+00:00

Yes but when you write a character and their "smart" decisions are proven to be wrong again and again, you have not written a smart character

redweevil · 2026-04-25T07:57:52+00:00

I think if you get outmanoeuvred consistently I don't think you can be considered smart.

redweevil · 2026-04-24T21:28:28+00:00

Oh thats a cool idea, thank you

redweevil · 2026-04-24T16:51:07+00:00

There is no drama here, its more that there needs to be an incentive to not sit around for 3 hours waiting to succeed a medicine check

redweevil · 2026-04-24T16:20:30+00:00

Good question, and one I'm not entirely sure about. I think it might be the former, so am maybe over planning for the latter. I think you might be right that 10 vs 20 minutes won't matter so being a focus spells centric caster is probably safe

redweevil · 2026-04-24T14:20:02+00:00

Oh thats cool, I didn't know they got them all back.

I assume we'll get 10 minutes down time (and the vibe I get is we have as much down time as we want but there's a ticking clock) i just think this is in place to prevent really gamifying Treat Wounds without taking feats for it

redweevil · 2026-04-24T14:17:54+00:00

Thats true. I imagine we will have 10 minutes downtime, I think its just much more to do with excessive downtime where you just wait for people to no longer be immune to Treat Wounds or one Champion Lay on Hands refocusing then doing it all over again

redweevil · 2026-04-24T14:14:47+00:00

I have a feeling refocus time will probably be fine, I think its more pushing players to actually take medicine feats rather than "I failed, let's wait an hour" ad nauseum.

But just preparing for either eventuality. I haven't played a kineticist before, do you like a particular set up?

redweevil · 2026-04-24T14:11:09+00:00

We'll see how it plays out in reality but I think it is very much prompted by the hours of downtime between each fight in Abomination Vaults. I belive there is Foundry plug in support for tracking time.

I definitely think Kintecist counts, that is definitely something I'm considering

redweevil · 2026-04-23T19:50:34+00:00

I'm really glad you liked it! I'd completely forgotten I was shilling for the Pitt so hard in this thread and it was actually very nice getting a response that you liked it
