“The commander is a martial support class that can issue commands to her allies, granting them extra movement, actions, reactions, and more. The guardian is an armored tank, who can taunt opponents and maximize the effectiveness of heavy armor to be a bulwark against nearly any threat.”
A defender with a taunt mechanic? A martial support class that gives movement and action to allies??
Ok i might have gotten sidetracked, and instead of preparing for the #pathfinder2e session tomorrow, i spent an hour writing a poem about a lost city the players are gonna visit...
It's about a city, called Feras Leigh, high up in the mountains, that was once inhabited by elves, but through a great war the city got wiped out and the elves got slaughtered or had to flee. After the war is over one of the elves that managed to flee, returns with a few others, and gives the deceased a proper burial, before leaving the ruined city forever and writing this poem.
Up in the city,
drowned in mist
I sat and stared
and reminisced
on olden days
of love and dance
when we were here
yet now i glance
on nothing
but the cold and bleak
wasteland,
I stand in and seek
the past
to put my heart to rest
which aches and yearns
within my chest
remembering
long gone feast and fete
beneath the moonlit
mountain gate
O, Feras Leigh,
i ask and plea
take care of those,
who couldn't flee
take care of those
we lay to rest
and guard
in an eternal quest
the heirloom
of our troubled kin
and memories
of our love within
Troubled,
woeful I retreat
into the streets
so cold with sleet
returned to home
now long at last
just dreaming
of the days that passed
no trace left
of joy we shared
the passion,
treasures, no one dared
to think
would be ephemeral, yet
now lie in stone
a silhouette
Up in the city,
drowned in mist
My heart remains,
and lies - unkissed
@nionidh ahhh, I genuinely love this!! you have such a nice flow with rhymes and your use of enjambments really add a lot to the tone of this poem. it makes it both feel like a kind of prayer, but a bit frantic or fraught with emotion, almost like the spoken word gets stuck in a throat :heartss:
the system is really big and complex tho, so explaining it over text in this format is gonna be a bit of a thing. do you have discord by any chance? having an actual chat program or even a call might make this easier ^^ but only if you're comfortable with that ofc. no worries if not 💚
hey, any #pathfinder2e#pathfinder players out there have any advice for building a rogue? specifically a scoundrel type rogue, I'm having fun thinking of the build craft stuff but the dedication system is kinda overwhelming me and plotting out a build is getting kind of difficult
@pixel I tend to make characters in Pathbuilder and carry them thru to level 20 to see what's available, then make a copy and go back and change/tweak to see what else is available. Fortunately I don't tend to be much of a power gamer or optimiser so taking a level-by-level approach ends up dominating as I advance levels; those early 1-20 versions end up being a good guide but what happens in-game has more of an influence than expected. I planned out a sniper to level 20 for Pathfinder Society play and then ended up doing a rebuild at level 7 as a Spellshot because I wasn't getting good use out of some of the sniper abilities. I would never have imagined that at level 1!
The upcoming Tian Xia books made me realize, both of these guys are gods of drinking on Golarion. So there's no way they haven't gotten together to have, er, drinks. Yeah. Drinks.
Here he is! A fetchling flame order druid from Minkai who serves Yamatsumi, god of volcanoes. This fellow is also a bard and quite talented with his shakuhachi. Would you like to find him on a mountain?
Omg pre session jitters. Stress sweats. Stomach cramps. Did I do my prep? All my settings correct? Windows adjusted my volume settings again. I hope nothings broken in foundry today. I stayed up late setting up. Is my dog going to bark at every leaf? We don't use video, why am I choosing earings?
How am I not over this by now. Years and years of being a GM and full time for almost two years.
@Imperor@GM_Ray Yep. I have mentioned it and we have a great group. I think part of it is the worry with any art you’re sharing with someone else. Worrying it’s not good enough etc, and letting the perfect be the enemy of good.
I don't think your party would feel anything you come up with won't be good enough. I think having a party that comes together regularly is proof enough you're doing a good job.
Get the #Pathfinder2e Core Rulebook and digital Beginner’s Box, as well as a bounty of sourcebooks, supplements, and adventure modules to keep your table busy for multiple campaigns’ worth of play.
Welp, I went ahead and bought the #Pathfinder2e revised core books. I don't have any immediate plans to run or play this game, so I'll hold off buying the physical books until either this changes or a round or two of errata have been incorporated into the print runs.
Still, I've decided to take a leave of absence from buying #dnd after the #OGL fiasco earlier this year, and if I ever do want to write some stuff in the same #ttrpg niche, this game is probably my best bet.
We spent most of tonight's Pathfinder session communicating via shared imagery with a plant from beyond the stars, using the Telepathy spell. Top 3 most delightfully bizarre sessions ever, easily.
