Cantrips/Focus Spells/Slotted Spells are just occupying the same design space as At Will/Encounter/Daily powers from DnD 4e. The idea that you have options whose power scales in inverse proportion to how quickly they are replenished is a common mechanic, and removing focus spells would push us back toward the old "15-minute adventuring day" concept for full casters.

Yeah, they could stand to be made more consistent with one another, or to have options to choose from. Aa far as DnD 4e, I don't know if Paizo borrowed the idea, or came to it independently - I'm just saying that, however they got there, the two constructions adhere to the same design scheme.

Also, the premise is that the PCs aren't members of the usual city watch; they're basically some of the many temporary rent-a-cops hired specifically because of the massive spike in visitors and merchants resulting from the Golarion-equivalent World's Fair taking place during the AP. The civil forfeiture is still bogus, but that's the context. It's all basically a thin veneer for the PCs basically doing what all PCs typically do, rather than writing up a whole special subsystem for turning loot into salaries. And of course if you want the latter, then I think there's a variant for that in the Gamemastery Guide anyway.

Green Tea Erotica posted:Any advice on running XP would be appreciated, I've avoided it until now for kinda this reason, but I want to give it a shot atleast once. The Pathfinder math/guidance on encounter building is going to pretty consistently call for about 12-13 encounters and other XP awards per level-up. Given that the encounter difficulty levels (numerically) are opaque to the players, you can package them into groups of 3 or 4 encounters with an achievement award as a cherry on top; this will let you construct bite-sized narrative arcs with "lieutenants" (if there's a BBEG or adversary organization in play) to defeat. If you want to accelerate the early levels, what Arivia said about reducing the XP needed to level up will work, or you can grant XP awards more frequently; whatever you prefer.

Frankly I wish the focus spells were fully "per-encounter" abilities instead of the current system, where (without a feat) if you use more than one focus spell per encounter, you have one less per-encounter spell to use for the rest of the day. Though I can't remember if how they handle using multiple focus points was also part of the remaster.

I imagine a focus spell on a wizard as thematically being some particularly fundamental theorem of magic that forms the basis for a lot of their particular college or discipline (explaining why they can cast it so frequently/easily).

The vishkanya, nagaji, and vanara at least have been around since 1st edition, so they just stuck with the established naming convention there. Although the design of the nagaji seems to have morphed from (what appeared to be) kind of a turtle/komodo dragon-looking species in 1e to apparently "serpentfolk, but not evil" in 2e.

This is absolutely a post-hoc rationalization, but the kinds of traps a level 12 klutz is going to run into are going to be so creative/intricate/devious that by comparison the trick to a basic lock or trap is going to seem obvious with just a little bit of guidance.

I'd say either of these would be acceptable (maybe leaning toward the latter based on how the "circular" area effect templates work), using the other part of the spell effect as a power comparison:quote:in a straight line up to 60 feet long Both of those images consist of 12 five-foot squares of fire, whereas the others don't.

Aside from what has already been mentioned, I would expect a Darklands/underground adventuring book (which honestly could go either way as a Lost Omens book or a larger rulebook) and a 2e version of the NPC Codex or Villain Codex from 1e.
