hello friends the D&D drama has made me look at pathfinder and now my group is really excited to try it out and maybe do an AP, i am excited. Just grabbed the beginner box, and then we'll look at whats available for a campaign and dive right in. I'm a DM so yay for having a ton of work ahead learning something new buuuuut poo poo, just reading the feats and stuff things seem so much more dynamic than 5e, especially martials. I may try and steer them towards kingmaker beacuse i played and beat the game and loved it, so i have some of that inbuilt knowledge lol.

KPC_Mammon posted:You can pretty seamlessly go from the beginner box to a combination of Abomination Vaults and Troubles in Otari. Each chapter of the Otari book can be used as town-based filler between delves into the vaults. Ok awesome, that may be a better idea before diving into something as huge as kingmaker. Is 3 an OK party size for PF2E? We made 5E work, we have a 4th that sometimes plays but usually its 3 players and me DM.

yeah i am quickly discovering how much is involved in DMing a system i've never played before. But man this beginner box owns and so far im kinda loving the systems, this 3 action setup is dope. it seems like encounter building is easier too? queeb fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Jan 15, 2023 |

does foundry work well as a in-person VTT? I'm thinking of building a nice like, 55" tv enclosure built into our gaming table for when we start our new pathfinder campaign. something dope with fog of war and animated stuff to have some sweet battle maps and stuff.

Ok, starting the beginner box this weekend, and then doing the troubles in otari/abomination vaults combination. Anyone have any suggestions on ways to splice them together nicely?

So we just finished nearly the whole beginner box, about halfway through the 2nd level where you hit level 2 and for the most part everyone is loving it. our fighter and barbarian from 5e are playing a swashbuckler and barbarian here and just totally in love with all the combat options. Our usual spellcaster is playing an animal order druid, and i dont think shes really enjoying the spellcasting in this. only having 2 spells to prepare at level 1 and getting 1 cast of each without much flexibility and thats it is bumming her out, where in 5e she could have like 5+ spells prepared and cast 2 times but any of the spells prepared. Shes going to give it a shot though. likes having her raptor to command and run around, and ride at level 4

its my wife so if she's not having fun we'll have to go back to 5e or something, happy wife happy life, haha. But yeah our martals were like, fuckin pirouetting around for panache and stabbing for huge damage, wallrunning and jumping over stuff, and our barbarian went fury instinct and took the 2 action double move/attack feat and was zipping all over the place while raging to smack guys down, both also going for trips and intimidates and just having a blast. So A+ on how good martials feel. We'll give it a go for a few weeks, through troubles in otari and abomination vaults, get some more levels on the druid and see how it goes. worst case we look at some other spellcasters and see what shakes out. edit: i'll look at the flexible spellcasting archtype too. queeb fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Jan 29, 2023 |

Honestly looking at the flexible spellcasting archtype, even that would work with un nerfed spell slots because really, we're coming from 5e where casters are OP as poo poo anyways, if our druid has 3 1st level spell slots she can flex cast from, its not the end of the world, and we only have one caster anyways so its not like if we had someone playing a wizard that would feel nerfed by not having that archtype. All in the name of fun, cause gently caress i was having fun trying to keep kobolds alive against the tactics that were going on. We'll keep going normally though for a few levels, not going to make any drastic changes like that until we play things as they should be for awhile.

I've wanted to GM kingmaker for a long time and now that it's on foundry, gonna get these guys comfortable in pf2e and then spin that up for the next couple years. They're my usual dnd group so they at least have the background of tabletop stuff

man one thing that's real nice about pf2e is its incredibly easy to convert any third party dnd campaigns over to pf2e with how easy it is doing balanced encounters and monster buiilding. one pf 5E's strengths is the huge amount of third party stuff, so its nice popping into that to grab some ideas

Ok one thing I will say, there was some grumbling about casters not being as good or fun from the people in my group that played wiz/sorc in dnd, but now that i've got them properly set up with scrolls, staffs and a couple wands, that grumbling has basically disappeared. you are able to do WAY more casting than dnd when you've got all that poo poo. its weird coming from dnd where staffs and scrolls and poo poo arent as important. i totally admit I was kind of ignoring them because of that, but the more i read its like yeah, every caster needs to have that poo poo. my group is level 5 so being able to go up to 6 charges on a staff from the wizard burning a level 3 slot is dope. having a wand of healing is really nice, just dropping that big aoe heal for free basically. im really in love with pf2e

So my wife wants to get into pathfinder and wants to be a witch, I'm going to read all the remaster stuff for it but is there any traps she should avoid? She's going to do a mosquito witch. Reading the familiar stuff and Jesus there's a ton of familiar abilities

What's a good "starter campaign" for a group? I've run my players through beginner box and a couple one shots and everyone is feeling comfortable now. I'm looking to run an AP now for awhile before dabbling in some homebrew. I was checking out outlaws, and strength of thousands
