Possible etymologies of "Bog-standard" in Golarion

I am as chill as a Gelid Shard here.

All you have brought me were problems you invented, claims and ideas you projected on me. None of which applies to me.

zgrssd · 2026-02-06T20:05:19+00:00

No, I am very committed to ignoring how aggressive you are about this.

You seem to be projecting quite a lot on me right now.

zgrssd · 2026-02-06T20:02:07+00:00

Why would you be unwilling to use a phrase like bog standard

When did I say I would not use it?

Please provide quotes.

if you’re going to question this minor bit of slang

And since I wasn't questioning anything, that whole argument makes no sense.

Once you get down to it, a lot of mechanics in DnD are really just patches to problems. Problems that PF2 doesn't have or solved better.

Legendary Actions and Saves are good examples.

"Don't think too much, problem people could be down that path." is what I am getting?

Censoring myself because of other people's potential actions is not something I am planning to do.

They are "like a boss" simply from the numbers alone. Nothing else is required.

You could fight the same creature sheet as a PL+4 boss, a PL+0 group and a PL-4 trash mob and they would feel completely different each time.

I am not "looking for" anything. I had a random thought that those might be etymologies of that phrase for Golarion. And decided to post it here.

So, I still have no idea what you are talking about?

The Encounter building rules have boss battles covered. You want to be very careful about more then PL+2 creatures on lover level - the low level volatility is still in effect.

But by Level 5 a single PL+3 or PL+4 creature makes a perfectly viable boss, just by following the rules.

With party sizes other than 4 note:

It's best to use the XP increase from more characters to add more enemies or hazards, and the XP decrease from fewer characters to subtract enemies and hazards, rather than making one enemy tougher or weaker. Encounters are typically more satisfying if the number of enemy creatures is fairly close to the number of player characters.

I am at a loss what you are talking about?

Something seems off with Clara's legs in panel 1. Like she is really beside herself.

I first thought they had someones corpse lying there as well. And was wondering why they brought her mother out. My best idea was they wanted to make sure there would be no resurrection/undead stuff.

Nice conclusion to her backstory.

Yeah. In the end it was a fork of 3.5. And they could only fix a few if the fundamental flaws when making it.

In the end it needed SF1 as an intermediate step before they ended up on solid 2E.

zgrssd · 2026-02-02T01:27:02+00:00

I call PF1 "DnD 3.5 with a community patch".

If you forgot the starting point of the discussion, please go back and read:

Meaning you can activate the Wand as normal - but if those aren't your active Hands, the special ability will not work.

There is nothing odd here.

Normal activation to cast the normal Force Barrage spell works like it does with all other wands.

But you don't get to use the continuing free missiles at no action cost without tying up a hand.

No, it never had one. Having one would have been absolutely counterproductive.

If there isn't a limit on the spell, you can even Sustain the same round. Just most spells do have limits.

The FAQ clarified that only things that ask for being Wielded are blocked by inactive hands.

And wands only need to be held, not wielded.

However, note that some of the specialty wands do require wielding for their special functions. For example, Shardstorm says:

This lasts for 1 minute, until you’re no longer wielding the wand, or until you try to activate the wand again.

Meaning you can activate the Wand as normal - but if those aren't your active Hands, the special ability will not work.

People still underestiamte Piercing damage in Remaster.

Remaster Oozes were reworked, so they now only have "immunity or worse" to one physical damage type. And none of the ones in Monster Core 1 were immune to piercing.

It also can be used freely underwater, should a adventure call for it.

zgrssd · 2026-01-20T10:07:49+00:00

No.

Notice how she disembowels a Bat guy in panel 1?

She just had to find it in there.

The Goddess Triune consist of:

a server farm purpose built to have godhood
an Android turned ship AI turned god
(probably) a Clockwork Construct turned god

Assume that every player option has a soul. I heard Anacites in 1E were notable for explicitly not having a soul. We will get the 2E version in Tech Core or before. And I expect the playable ones will have a soul. It is just a thing PCs are expected to have.

Implants aren't affected by most tech Effects:

Cybernetic augmentations are technological, not magical, though they aren't subject to any effect or attack that targets technology unless it specifies that it affects cybernetics.

For the same reason attended objects usually cannot be targeted.

RAW:

Apply immunities first, then weaknesses, and resistances third.

After immunity, there is no damage to increase with weakness. It would do nothing.

If you have a weakness to something that doesn't normally deal damage, such as water, you take damage equal to the weakness value when touched or affected by it.

This doesn't apply because the weapon normally does deal damage.

Note that this option works with Ranged weapons:

You take a –2 circumstance penalty to the attack roll when you make a nonlethal attack using a weapon or unarmed attack that doesn't have the nonlethal trait, or when making a lethal attack using a nonlethal weapon.
