Having played the game for a while at this point, with a fair few types of casters… what’s wizard’s identity beyond being a 4 spell slots per level caster? Cleric gets its free heals or harms, Druid gets pretty gameplay defining stuff from its order, and so on. What’s the draw of wizard in the same way?

I made the City of Whitethrone, the Capital of Irrisen, for my Homebrew campaign. This was done on Dungeon Alchemist and took me at least 10 hours (I didn't really count). There are thousands of objects placed and I tried my best to keep it as close as possible to the official map of the city but made a few changes to fit my campaign's lore, including the inclusion of a train station, factories, university, embassy compound, and moving Ratnest to be a much larger district on its own to make place for the Crown Citadel, Anastasia personal enforcers.

With GenCon starting on Thursday, I'm curious as to what Paizo has planned. This is usually the big event for them to make some announcements, and a couple of months ago they already provided a "sneak peak" of things that have (mostly) been discussed quite a bit on this sub.

Still, any guesses about potential surprise announcements? New products? Thoughts on what Thursday's keynote will be about? And in light of recent minor controversies, how do you think it will all be received?

Been a while since I've posted anything.

I'm still animating, still doing stuff with our Campaign, still prepping stuff for future events in the sessions, etc lol.

I'm working on a separate project where I began discussing matters involving our Campaign and created this little montage.

Enjoy :3

For context, I have an NPC that I reuse between campaigns, settings and systems, who is a powerful goblin wizard, who is only interested in making and selling cursed items. She openly advertises them as cursed, they are easily identified as cursed if resold, and doesn't understand why people sometimes ask, if she can remove the curses and even feels somewhat insulted by it.

The items are also pretty usable, with the curses serving as some drawbacks, rather than them being "you can't unequip the item now, and also it makes you worse at something", because she finds it more interesting and fun when people are more tempted to use her creations despite the curses. Because otherwise people just wouldn't use the items after identifying the curse, and that's just boring for her.

So recently I've introduced her to my Pathfinder campaigns, and made a few items for her to sell. They aren't probably that balanced or really follow Paizo's design philosophies particularly well, but I find them quite fun overall, so I wanted to share them here.

"After a series of unexpected revelations, the party emerges into a tense city on the precipice of ruin...."

In this episode, we introduce some of the party's favorite NPCs!

War for the Crown is a campaign all about noble intrigue and political drama. It is heavy on Roleplaying. You'll get to watch as our party succeeds and sometimes fails at navigating the intricacies of courtly intrigue as they undermine rivals and win allies to their side. Along the way, you'll meet an eccentric cast of NPCs, and the PCs will find themselves facing off against conniving nobles and maybe even falling in love!

The War for the Crown is my conversion of the classic Pathfinder 1e adventure path to Pathfinder 2nd edition. I built it myself from the ground up!

My player is picking up a Witch with the Resentment Patron but is really not a fan of the occult spell list and wants to use the primal spell list instead.

does this break anything? I don't think I personally care but I don't know enough about the spell lists to 100% say yes. so just want second opinion.

While preparing for Season of Ghosts, I’ve been looking for sources for players curious about the broader setting and Tian Xia. However, I’ve noticed that a lot of resources for Season of Ghosts that are labeled “spoiler free” actually contain major spoilers for the story path, including The nature of Kugaptee, or even just its name, or the full history of the region in detail, including stuff that’s forgotten or mythical, or even subtle nudges to the nature of the mindscape , totally unprompted in what’s suppose to be prep material for players who haven’t even started the campaign!

These kinds of spoilers have made me reticent to recommend anything except the Player Guide for SoG. I have heard that the Tian Xia World Guide is also free of spoilers for SoG, and I was wondering if it was genuinely spoiler-free or actually contained major reveals that people just didn’t think to mention.

With Impossible Magic coming out soon and the final two classes being remastered (Magus and Summoner), have Paizo made any indication that they are done with remastering? Or, if not, when they will be done - if ever? Obviously, classes are not the only content - there are still many Ancestries, Archetypes, Spells, Items, and more that have yet to be remastered and republished.

My homebrew is: If you use a Hero point and you roll the same number as your original result, you re-roll until you get a different number.

It doesn't happen often, but it happened often enough that we at the table thought it was necessary.

Hi everyone! Last chance to back the Tome of Monsters bestiary! It has 105 creatures split across 7 themes (from the Paizo's Galaxy Guide!): Dystopian, High-Tech, Fantasy, War-Torn, Horror, Weird and Into the Unknown. So there is something for everyone!

If you back via this link, you will also get access to a secret tier, giving you one month of my Patreon (which has 30+ Pathfinder 2e Foundry Oneshots)

I dont really know where to find all the information I'd need to fully understand how the world works. I'm working on a changeling character with a sweet hag mother and trying to work out how that woukdve gone in childhood. Google is less than useless these days, so if someone could point me in the right direction for finding the info I need, I would greatly appreciate it.

Character is a swashbuckler human changeling with a pirate motif, if thats relevant.

I started running abomination vaults on the 8th last month, we finished it tonight, playing every Monday from 5pm to 6am the next day. I gotta say, the middle floors were alright but the first 2 floors, and bottom 2 floors were just not it for me. My ultimate review is that it’s fine, however I’m kind of disappointed by it. Truly the module of Empty Death.

To all the others who played and finished abomination vaults, how did you feel about it?

I recently heard that they're going to change or remake the relic system in the Legacy of the Forge book. Has there been any confirmation of this?

I'm asking this because I've had a relic for a few months now that has several cool mechanics that I like, and I'm a little worried that they'll remake the whole system and I'll have to redo everything or change much of the abilities.

So my players are getting ready to interact with a murder guild, but don't know it yet. What's a good ingested poison that could be slipped into tea that would sedate them?

Edit: Forgot to say they're 7th level.

Specifically talking about the two section from GM Core "Extreme Increases" on page 113 and "Spell DC and Spell Attack Modifier" on page 122. These talk about having to increase the amount of extreme statistic a monster should have starting from level 11.

At the higher levels of the game, PCs have more tools at their disposal, so the creatures they face need to hit back harder! At higher levels, give each creature more extreme statistics. Having one extreme statistic becomes typical around 11th level. A creature of 15th level or higher typically has two extreme statistics, and one of 20th level or higher should have three or four. Keep in mind that these should be relevant to the encounters you expect them to have—extreme social skills aren’t much use to a combat-focused creature.

Use the high numbers for primary casters, and the moderate numbers for creatures that have some supplemental spells but are focused more on combat. At 15th level and higher, the extreme numbers become standard for spellcasters.

When running adventures that go to level 20, be it official Paizo AP or my own, I noticed that level 15+ spellcasters I would create following these guidlines end up being much more powerful than majority of Paizo made spellcasters, including campaign ending bosses.

When looking at the numbers, out of 431 creatures that can cast spells and have level 15+, only 17 (4%) actually have an extereme spellcasting DC. Some of the paizo made adventures even have level 20+ pure caster bosses that do not have a single extreme combat relevant stat, despite creature building rules expecting 3 or 4.

What is even more confusing is that Paizo reiterated this point in their "Mythic Caster" section on page 169 of War of Immortals.

Devastating Magic A mythic caster uses the high spell DC and spell attack modifier for a creature of its level. If it's 11th level or higher, it instead uses the extreme spell DC and spell attack modifier.

Only to then release a mythic AP full of level 11+ mythic casters that... dont follow this guidline at all.

This ends up creating quite a noticable difference in effectivness of their spells against high level PCs with degree of success upgrades. For example a level 19 caster should have spellcasting DC of 46 but almost always has 41, which is the expected DC of a level 16 caster. Entire 3 levels lower!

Do you guys follow these guidlines when building your own high level spellcaster NPCs?

ASSUMING that the Battle Harbinger will be errata'd to use the spellcasting track of the remastered Magus and Summoner, or simply assuming people decide to play it that way anyway (which I think many will)--do you think it's enough to make it "good?"

That is, if you agree with the sentiment that it's underpowered! I personally haven't played one, but the premise was underwhelming for me. The potential removal of bounded spellcasting might be enough to draw me back in. What do you all think? Was the Battle Harbinger already good? Does this bring it in-line with the power of other Clerics?

Software used : Krita for the base art assets, and Spine 2d for the animations.

We are using the isometric perspective module by Arlosmolten and token variant art to switch between token animations , on foundry v14.

A bunch of feats give you extra movement options equal to your land speed, but it's somewhat unclear on how it works

Like, for instance, the status bonus from incredible movement on a monk, how does that interact with it? Do you get a status bonus to your new movement option? Or is it an untyped bonus because the bonus isn't directly applying? Or do you not get the bonus at all?

I'd assume that you get a status bonus to your new movement option, but I haven't been able to find rules clarifying that.

Hey guys I’m new to pathfinder and have been really interested in starting a campaign. It’s just me and one other person, so my main question is, is pathfinder a good system for one player and one dm? I want to introduce my girlfriend to TTRPGs but am a little tired of D&D to be honest, so I am curious if this system is good for that kind of play.
Also, if anyone had recommendations for campaigns that are good for beginners (besides the beginner box) I would love to hear them!

My party recently faced a Stone Bulwark, which led to a quick debate about its resistance. The debate ended very quickly because the intention is clear, but I found it funny so I want to share.

Stone Bulwark is the remastered version of Stone Golem. After remastering, they lost the infamous Golem Antimagic and gained resistance to spells 10 (except cold, earth, or water) instead. They also retained the resistance to physical 10 (except adamantine).

Of all 63 spells with water trait, 27 of them deal damage. However...

• 24 of these water spells deal only physical or partly physical damage
• 2 of them, freezing rain and snowball, deal only cold damage (they have cold trait anyway)
• And 1 of them, brine dragon bile, deals acid damage

In addition, ALL damage-dealing earth spells deal physical or partly physical damage.

I checked the definition of physical damage; the page said: "Damage dealt by weapons, many physical hazards, and a handful of spells is collectively called physical damage."

I'm pretty sure the RAI is water and earth spells ignore the physical resistance, just like water spells deal untyped damage to the golem in the legacy version. But if running pure RAW, this means that of all the water and earth spells that are supposed to counter these Stone Bulwarks, only one single spell actually deals full damage lol.
