Is there a reason half the encounter builders don't have hazards in them?

clusterfuck posted:Would be nice but it's the other way around, Demoralize into Bon Mot, no? I mean…. That’s a reading of the rules, I guess. But will DC’s are derived from will saves, inclusive of penalties. https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=328 quote:Will saving throws measure how well you can resist attacks to your mind and spirit. They use your Wisdom modifier and are calculated as shown in the formula below. The total modifier includes any penalties. Bon Mot applies a penalty to the saving throw, which in turn reduces the DC. It is an extremely strong and cool and good combo.

So if I'm an occult caster (like, say, a Bard) who takes Psychic Dedication at 2 and Basic Thoughtform at 4 to get Psi Burst, it would key off my Psychic class DC and not my Bard class DC, correct?

Spells don’t key off your class DC, they key specifically off of your DC in the relevant spellcasting tradition, which, in the case of a Bard/Psychic is occult for both, so you’ll use whatever the Bard’s proficiency is. (Class DC’s don’t get T/E/M/L unless specifically noted, as with the Alchemist)

Psychic feats are a little broken and honestly need an errata to the class specifying to use your Occult Spell DC for all of them. So, I can see why it would be confusing. However, neither psychics not bards (natively or multiclass) have Class DCs. They only have spell DCs, which is what you should use in this case, despite Psi Burst not being a spell. HOWEVER!!! Psi Burst is not usable from Psychic multiclass because it is a Psyche ability requiring you to Unleash Psyche which only base Psychics, not multiclass, have access to.

Psi butst is available as a feat through the basic thoughtform dedication feat, but can't be used Terrible

Is there a single Google map of where organized play takes place? I went to the site and it has four separate organizational pages, checked half of them and did an infomercial There's got to be a better way head-shake.

For some reason the idea of Bon Mot then Demoralize makes me think of how you can greet random NPCs in Red Dead Redemption 2 then insult them, even though that's not quite what that combo does.

depends on their relation to the ownership of the means of production within a capitalist system. typically they would not be bourgeoisie though due to them actually doing the labor to produce things

First impressions of Impossible Lands. Nearly as good as Mwangi, but it suffers from having less of a coherent theme overall, and feels like 4 mini-setting guides (Nex, Mana Wastes, Geb and Jalmaray) rather than one cohesive one like Mwangi. That impression might change after giving it a more thorough read though.

That impression might change after giving it a more thorough read though. Feel like that's an inherent problem due to Mwangi generally having real world cultural basis all around while most of Impossible Lands is stuff that doesn't map nearly as well.

what exactly is happening in this stat block https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=827 does the tick swarm really use Cling and deal 1d6 damage to itself every time it uses a damaging action does it only use Cling once a turn when it has a reaction and then it just.....doesn't have a reaction anymore? I'm very confused

The "plus Cling" in the attack is the confusing bit. It would seem that every hit it does triggers Cling, dealing damage to itself and applying the persistent damage.

Yeah that's worded oddly. I would assume its an either/or, either the effect of Cling triggers on a reaction or as part of the attack but it doesn't use the reaction as part of the attack.

Epi Lepi posted:Yeah that's worded oddly.

Cling is the reaction and it's apparently triggered on every damaging action by "plus Cling," as is Tick Fever regardless of damage actually being applied. Maybe the idea is that they should be using Cling and applying Tick Fever every round even if they have to spend the whole turn moving, which is why they have it as a reaction and it's intentionally limited to once per turn by being a reaction and it just reads really weird. The goal of the Tick Swarm is to just crawl all over people and be gross crawly bugs kind of thing.

The lack of clarity on that ability is kind of shocking but I believe the intent is that Cling, when part of the Swarming Bites Strike is a subordinate action that does not required triggering the reaction or using the per turn reaction.quote:Subordinate Actions

Somehow I read the whole thing and didn't see that it also uses Cling on attack. Since the whole thing is a gimmick I would use it on every single enemy hit each time they are hit.

This is even weirder then because it’s applying persistent damage that doesn’t stack, so it’s just hitting itself for 1d6 for no reason if i use these stupid things again i'll just have them only apply Cling and hit themselves if the target isn't already under the effects of Cling sugar free jazz fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Nov 8, 2022 |

I'd argue that a target is only potentially subject to the Cling reaction if they've taken damage. If a rogue evasions out of the way of all the ticks, there's nothing for them to cling to there.

I agree that Cling is a subordinate option and doesn’t require a reaction, but I think using Cling as part of the attack should be considered optional, like Improved Push. But a swarm that only seems to want to suck blood would potentially just keep reapplying itself. To run it more intelligently you’d have to have it recognize when a player already is loaded up with its brethren that it needs to go find other food or leave. Either way, using this in my next session as the minions for some stronger creatures.

They did a blog post talking about the playtest feedback and making some broad strokes statements about what that might mean for the class design and it’s been radio silence since. Probably will be until the book drops late next year. They tend not to do second rounds of play tests I don’t think.
