Got a shipping notification two weeks ago and at no point did the tracking number ever work or show anything. Finally reached out to them yesterday and they swore they definitely shipped the books, but they also see the trackers never updated. They just submitted a new order for me for replacements but I'm sad that didn't end up getting the books on release day. shoulda used a hero point that's what they're there for

5-Headed Snake God posted:Strategy question: Is it better for a monk to go for a trip and follow it up with Flurry of Blows, or use FoB first for the higher attack bonus? Doing a trip at max MAP is a terrible idea because of the chance of a critical miss and knocking yourself prone (whereas a critical miss on a Strike from FoB has no special effect), if you're going to trip you always want to do that first.

General question about Attacks like Trip -.it generates MAP, but it's an athletics check vs reflex. Do you subtract MAP to your athletics modifier?

From the Day 1 Errata:quote:Pages 411: The text for the wounded condition was changed for consistency, but became consistent with the wrong piece of text. This would lead to much deadlier encounters! The following changes should ensure that death and dying works the way we intended.

Errata is up. It's not just limited to the Player Core / GM Core, either: there is also compatibility errata released for the core rulebook, dark archive, secrets of magic, and the advanced player's guide. Some highlights: - Changes to champions to make them playable with Remaster alignment changes. - The old versions of spells in the CRB got errata'd to have the Remaster damage formulas (i.e., more dice, no modifier). - They finally fixed the Magus Arcane Cascade thing.

Does Paizo ever incorporate errata passes into its PDF and future printings, or do I need to hang onto this forever?

They update PDFs. I'm pretty sure the current one is the 4th version and is what goes to the printers. But if print revisions and PDF revisions are tied together then we may not see a PDF update for the original core book since it's dead.

From last session, feels kinda goofy when the team pokes an enemy and goes "hmm, resistant to most damage" and then I go "well, we're given every indication it's undead, let me try Soothing Mist!" And then soothing mist does, like, 20ish damage and then I realise I was better off doing a Twin Takedown anyway since that combines the damage for purposes of resistances. I didn't realise when I first started playing PF2e that two-weapon flurry ranger was one of the simplest builds but hey, it's effective as long as you don't need to switch to a ranged weapon (and especially if you don't need to switch back to melee, but wielding a gauntlet helps with that as backup).

But also yeah I feel like re-imagining the River Kingdoms to be Afghanistan after either the British, USSR, or US exit. Maybe gets a tad depressing when your neighboring kingdom switches to an ultra-reactionary strain of worshipping Erastil because of a CIA plot, and then they kill all the local scholars

I vaguely remember a radio play style thing existing for rune lords, which may be the same thing you're talking about. I'll have to check it out because Crimson Throne always seemed cool but I've never been able to stand most Actual Plays. Thanks.

The dying rules seemed ill-conceived, regardless of whether or not there was an intention to increase the lethality. Basically, having any level of wounded was essentially an automatic death sentence. That's not a clever or interesting rules mechanic. If you want characters to die after they've been KO'd and go down again, just say that.

I've been thinking about wanting to make one of my dungeons a sort of half-sunken ruin that has partially flooded. It would be a fresh dungeon theme for the party and having creepy crawlies grab at you and emerge from brackish water is always fun horror fodder. I don't know how much it will be worth closely referencing the "aquatic combat" rules, it seems like it could be quite tedious and a level 3 party is not going to have a tremendous number of tools to overcome that. Seems like I should maybe just design a fight or two to happen in waist-deep water and maybe consider it difficult terrain or something, with a few raised sections out of the water, or subject them to athletics checks to swim or dive for a specific reason between encounters rather than get too granular about it. It might be fun to do like a single low difficulty aquatic combat with the suffocation rules just to put the fear of god into them, but I'm a little afraid myself that they might actually drown. Maybe I could put like a pocket of air somewhere in the battle scene that they can swim up to if things drag out longer than expected.

It wouldn't be hard to have a flooded basement or collapsed area that has something valuable to lure the party in if you want to have a flooded dungeon that only has a few chunks of actual underwater combat. That even means the party can pivot to grabbing the loot/macguffin and running if it turns out that they hate dealing with aquatic combat.

Just imagining fighting off a clutch of zombies in waste-deep brackish undead soup while your ankles are getting swarmed by Crawling Claws makes me feel pretty uncomfortable. Maybe an encounter in a room at the sea-facing end of the ruin where the tide is rapidly rising as they fight? Underwater combat kind of sucks, I'd consider maybe making fully submerged sections more about exploration/treasure hunting/trap avoidance and maybe hand them a 6-pack of discount Water Breathing potions that last like D10+2 rounds so they can play around with some resource management. I'm liking this gimmick more and more.

You don't need to make a maze, just something that's not completely linear could be pretty disorienting especially if you're doing theater of the mind.

HidaO-Win posted:Sensible since Magus players at least will want to still be able to access some of the old spells. Magus players still have access to all of the old spells anyway; the “new” Shocking Grasp has a different name, which means the old one is still available. The only changes to spells that result in a meaningful change for the Magus where using the old rules would make a difference are to the damage formulas - replacing stat mod with an extra die - and that’s a buff for the magus where the new version is basically always superior. They do not need access to a legacy toggle. The only reason to want legacy and current content in the same version of Pathbuilder is if you want to do something insane like running a Conjuration Wizard, with Witch Archetype using remaster witch feats/rules.

I'm so bummed they made Daze not apply flat footed with the errata fix. I don't think that was really overpowered at all. It turned it into a very powerful utility spell that requires setup (most likely delaying to be last in the round) to really take full advantage of, and it does literal scratch damage. And buffing it is also a two edged sword to use against players. Otherwise I think it's the weakest spell in the game.
