I'm going to be entirely honest I had zero actual interest in PF2E until the necromancer playtest. Before then it was 'oh, neat, it has some fun ideas, but wizard is dogshit' and then Necromancer came out and I actually gave a fuck about the gameplay.

A strong class with plenty of options and opportunities. But do wish they had a better buff for permanent undead, or a CA that lets them function alongside Undead Summoner. Without such, they feel a little "gamey" with their thralls, never quite the real undead controller deal. It's strange they don't even get Undead Animal Companion feats.
That said, I don't need a whole hoard and thralls work perfectly for me for that idea. You play with one 1e Summoner summon spammer and that absolutely kills any interest in that playstyle...

So I'm working on my next streamer sheet, and once again I'm running into, not exactly a roadblock, but definitely an obstacle. The streamer in question (seen here) is a massive 40K fan, and her lore is basically that she was a Psyker Eldar taken away from her people to work for Humanity, and eventually drafted by the Emperor himself in order to have her womanly presence keep Sanguinus from going coo coo bananas.Very self-indulgent fanfic-ey, but hey who am I to judge? Anyway, my issue is that 40K just as a system is extremely powerful, possibly even more than almost any other system, so trying to calculate a proper conversion from that system (especially for a Custodes-level person) seems... really hard to quantify! I'm tempted to do my first gestalt build for this one, perhaps combining a high level Paladin with some kind of psychic caster for the Psyker abilities, but I'm unsure if that "feels" like the right combination. What do you guys think?

So since I've heard we're getting an awakened ooze ancestry in the near future, I've got sort of a character concept for a mutagenist alchemist with the wrestler archetype using the ancestry. But the more I think about it, the less I can figure out... what exactly would such a build gain from being an alchemist? Like, what can a mutagenist alchemist do that would ever make them an attractive choice compared to, say, a monk or a fighter with the same archetype?

Gonna build him as a 20th level oracle. I'm thinking time mystery and dual-cursed archetype. Any advice for how to build this character? Just a very weird oracle prophet villain for my campaign. I could use advice for feats, traits, etc to give him, cool spells that would make sense for this guy having a vision of a lush paradise to be seized, or how their invasion will trigger some great deific intervention.

Our Strength of Thousands campaign came to an end today with the Hellknights rocking up to close Maagayamba for being a shithole school. Our next campaign however is up in the air. The intention was to run Rise of the Runelords in 2E, but the Foundry module of the rules hasn't been fully implemented and at minimum every monster needs a perception (And many are missing lots of features) so we're left with a few choices>Keep going through, lots of work fixing all the monsters
>Run Rise in 1E, at least one player has never played 1E so lots to teach
>Just run a different 2E campaignThe DM isn't interested in running an original adventure. and the desire to return to 1E popped up as we were lamenting the 2E mythic rules and how they fucking SUCK.

I think every PF2E feat that improves a class feature, or exists to be a tax to make a feature better, except maybe the mount/animal companion feats... shouldn't exist or should be baked into the original feat.Like think how much worse the Champion's Expand Aura would be if you had to spend a feat on Improved Expand Aura and Greater Expand Aura. I realize this probably unbalances a lot of shit but I hate "Take bad feat now so you can take good feat later" or "Did you want your class feature to do shit, well spend a feat on it."

When I was talking about Feat Taxes earlier in the thread, Oni Form from the Hungerseed Ancestry has one of those. At level 1 you get it, you can go Large (Basically no value though) and you have to sustain it every turn, no extra reach, no nothing. But at level 9 you can finally transform with no need to sustain and you get 5ft of Reach.I don't think you should need to take a feat at level 9 for that. I feel like it should just... upgrade to Do That

I've played a multitude of PF2E games and I always find players playing spellcasters feeling really bad and getting frustrated when they are constantly missing their spells, or enemies are just crit succeeding their saves, even when debuffed sufficiently

Do you think a hypothetical 3E would make an effort to remove more of the game's Gygaxisms? Bows using DEX instead of STR and melee weapons doing the opposite just because Gygax thought Tolkien's elves were too whimpy to have good STR. The existence of "studded leather" armor as it's own thing only exists because Gygax saw a picture of the support harness of plate armor. Rapiers and full plate were invented after early firearms. Scimitar is just an orientalist term for all middle eastern sabers. That's just what I've got off the top of my head.

Pathfinder 1e questionHow does Hell Knight's Pentamic Faith Discipline work regarding its usesDiscipline says: "The Hell Knight can use any one discipline a number of times per day equal to the total number of disciplines he has access to, so at 3rd level he can use his discipline once per day. At 6th level, he can use both disciplines twice per day each. At 9th level, he can use all three of his disciplines three times per day."Pentamic Faith says: "This ability allows the Hell Knight to select one of the following domains: Artifice, Glory, Knowledge, Law, Magic, Nobility, Protection, Rune, Strength, Travel, or War. The Hell Knight gains the granted powers (but not domain spells) of that domain, treating his Hell Knight levels as cleric levels to determine what domain abilities he has access to."But then, each domain's 1st-level granted powers say they can be used 3 + Wisdom modifier times per day, or at-will in case of Knowledge. Many 8th-level powers can be used "a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level".So would IA. gain uses of the domain power as per discipline, i.e. only one use per day at 3rd level, twice at 6th, and thrice at 9, using the same pool of uses for the 1st and 8th level powersorB. gain uses of the domain powers as per their description, using my Hellknight level as my Cleric level and my Wisdom modifier?

>King Estrid of the Ironbound Islands has put out a call for Pathfinders to explore the Island of the Ancestors, but first the Society must earn her approval. Gorm Greathammer, a prince, warrior, and the leader of the Grand Archive faction, has traveled to Halgrim to meet with King Estrid—and her crag linnorm companion, Boiltongue—and forge a new allegiance for the Society. Talks have been going well, but the arrival of Boiltongue’s children in the city has thrown everything into chaos! Gorm senses that the negotiations are about to collapse, and sends for a team of Pathfinders to help keep an eye on Boiltongue’s children while he wraps up talks with King Estrid. Babysitting five rambunctious linnorm siblings is about as easy as it sounds (which is to say, not at all), and the Pathfinders are about to have their hands full!So the Pathfinder Society, one of the major organizations on the planet, sends level 5-8 agents, to fucking babysit?!

Trigger: You used Flurry of Blows and at least one of the attacks was successful
Frequency: once per roundChoose one of the following options.
• Martial Parry: You know a strong defense is just as important as a strong offense. You gain the benefit of the parry trait as if you used the action. If you have at least one free hand, you can choose to use this Flurry Mastery option as a one-action activity instead of a free action, which increases the circumstance bonus to your AC to +2. Either option lasts until the start of your next turn.
• Flowing Combination: You flow from one success attack straight into another. You can make a Strike with a weapon or unarmed attack that you used during the triggering Flurry of Blows. This Strike uses your current multiple attack penalty.
