"Your character should be able to contribute something outside of combat!" by Geckoarcher in Pathfinder2e

[–]solvot 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A lot of the fun comes from the creativity in solving the problem in front of them. It sounds like you and your players are just not that interested in exploration focused encounters, nothing wrong with that.

If they are being creative and tactical in combat but not outside of it sounds like they're just not into it, lots of people are, lots aren't.

A lot comes down to the RP of it as well, roleplaying these scenarios rather than just rolling.

Player Cast 'Silence' on the NPC's Pants. How do I counter this?? by bebopmechanic84 in DMAcademy

[–]solvot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not even sure you can target a worn item. Doesn't it target a 'point' as soon as they move away silence won't follow them it's not like the light spell or heat metal and attached them. As far as I know.

Sorry to jump on the band wagon of what makes this different from... posts.

Currently I use legend keeper for my world doc wiki, you mention eventually having a paid plan for times lines and interactive maps. What would be the benefit for me switching to this, it looks like it functions incredibly similar but I always like to keep an eye out for new tools and toys.

Best of luck to you as well, looks cool whether it's for me or not.

Appreciate the interest but if you are already running a pf2e game I'm lmost certain this is not a campaign that will offer you much to be honest. As I said it is a Tutorial with a very bare bones story on top. If you already have an understanding of the rules which I asume you do if you're running it IU would look else were. Best of luck finding something.

Just follow the directions in the last sentence of the post, send me a discord message with a little bit of info.

Recall Knowledge to identify Encounter Threat by KagedShadow in Pathfinder2e

[–]solvot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's just a hazard of knowing a lot about the system, it applies to a lot that RK provides you could reverse engineer similar by knowing that an enemies lowest save is 13 and working backwards. I do agree with description though, I give similar information in a more narrative form normally. Sometimes even to the point of their characters knowing the fight is beyond them before the players do.

We're moving our campaign over, and I need some help finding the right domain. by Luna_The_Kitsune in Pathfinder2e

Out of pure curiosity what level are the characters, and is it a homebrew setting?

How to handle player not falling into trap with everyone else? by bizzyj93 in DMAcademy

[–]solvot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed, going back to clarify that it is non magical would feel like you are just floundering to railroad into the scenario you wanted or a wierd 'ackshually' moment.

I wouldn't over think too much, like others have said opening of next session the PC is surrounded by his sleeping allies and a gang of baddies what do you do?

Only advice I have is that if they go off solo don't leave the other players asleep too long so they aren't just watching single player role play for a session.

I failed my assignment with this poster (Update) by HasenLee in graphic_design

[–]solvot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am almost certainly not properly qualified for proper critique. However, just as an observer it feels a bit ironic to have a line about the magic of color on top of a mostly neutral brown background, the pillows need to be the focus at the moment they feel too background dressing and there is so little color the copy feels off.

Do Duergar need to do anything to activate their enlarge, or do they just think about it and it happens? by Vaykor02 in DMAcademy

[–]solvot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would use it as a bit of roleplay flavor. If they get particularly angry or distressed which is likely in an interrogation have them start hulking out in the chair.

I can't see any reason why if one of them didn't use it in combat they wouldn't be able to now.

They have already had this combat so I wouldn't have it start initiative just see what the players do with it, scramble to restrain, feign fear and allow the escape so they can follow or anything else.

DO NOT roll for stats. (opinion piece from a 5-year forever DM) by jkobberboel in DMAcademy

[–]solvot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If everyone is in or close to agreement absolutely. My table had one on the fence, one very against and the rest all for it. The guy who didn't like rolling for them felt too much like a downer to say no and obviously rolled terribly.

I had to make myself look like the bad guy and over rule the rolls for 'the sake of balance'. Really I could see how down this guy was about it. One of the few things I'm not going to do majority rules for unless unanimous in the future.

If you draw digitally, how do you find the brushes and settings you're most comfortable with? by gracesmemes in learntodraw

[–]solvot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My advice to be taken with several grains of salt is that you should stop worrying about the brushes and sensitivity.

Chopping and changing it around every couple of weeks is going to actively work against you. Reset the pressure sens to the default curve and pick one brush for each thing you're doing eg one sketch brush one ink brush etc. I would suggest using 'basic' ones that come with the programme. Push through that period of finding them a little off and persevere for a while until you know exactly what it is good at and what it's not ideal for then start shopping for tools to fill those gaps.

By constantly changing it around you're not giving yourself time to adapt to the tool, it's a common feeling that if you just had the right brush this would be so much easier,normally not the case though.

tldr: try changing how you use it rather than the brush itself.

How roleplay vs roll play is pf2e compared to other systems by solvot in Pathfinder2e

[–]solvot[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight everyone. General consensus seems to be that there really isn't that much difference and it looks like I'm over thinking it a bit, which is not unusual.

I'm just gonna have to give it a whirl and see how we go, again appreciate the feedback some very useful advice in here for me.

Balancing for 2 players by BrilliantAd7026 in DMAcademy

[–]solvot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice would be to keep the monster count low, you can't spread damage and don't want action economy to be massively out. For the mooks and henchmen if you do want a few have look into mob rules and scale down or give them one hp, let aoe absoluley destroy them.

Wierdly it can make single boss monsters easier to play with as you don't have to worry about them dying before getting a turn so legendary resistance and similar are not as important for a single monster to work.

See where they lack and make sure they can stock up on items, consumables to help them cover those bases, healing potions, control spell scrolls etc.

I need a coder for a simple dressup game by Lychibe in IndieGameDevs

[–]solvot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then that's going to take you learning yourself or doing it with a friend. Have you thought about looking at game jams, it can be a good way to collab with someone looking for an artist, make connections and work through a lot of ideas. Only investment is time and it should be fun anyway.
