In 1e we w were using the Background skills variant. I took cooking and said that my Inquistor used to work in the kitchens of her concemt a lot while being trained.

I’ve been trying for a week to get into contact with the listed contacts in my area. It’s strange there isn’t some kind of website to just sign up on. Way too hard for no reason.

Great idea. In PF2E I’ve been giving out hero points(kind of like inspirational points) for interacting in character

Great topic to cover, better to uncover previous horrible DnD experiences to heal the players and have a better time moving forward🎉

🎉 love the content

Helpful

Great tips. Thank you.

Have you started GMing yet?

Well, you are missing a practical example. I'd like to see how it works in the field

I miss this channel :(

I saw on the Paizo future publication list that there is going to be an NPC Core.

Hey thanks for putting this out. There wasn't much content on Wheelchairs in pf2e on TH-cam so I was glad to come across it. I'm a (relatively new) wheelchair user and am in the process of creating a new PC that uses a chair. I'm working with my GM to create some homebrew rules around the chair that make it mechanically interesting and more realistic. For example: moving uphill is difficult terrain but moving downhill lets you move at 2x speed. Another is reducing my bulk limit by 2 (carrying extra weight in a chair irl makes it really hard work to use - prohibitively so) but allowing myself to free action drop items into my lap instead of onto the floor. Another is reducing base move speed by 5ft but increasing it by 10 ft for moving in straight lines only. Irl there are some annoying debuffs from wheelchairs but there's plenty of upsides too. I love my chair and I'm keen to find ways to see it accurately represented in the game. I'm personally not keen on the traveller's chair just easily overcoming some of the difficulties we have to face in our lives. I'm planning to keep things like getting through doors and navigating steps as athletics checks or having some of the physical challenges require assistance from my party. I'm sure some people are delighted by a miracle chair that solves all the problems and I'm glad that it's in the ruleset, but it's not for me. Once I've playtested the wheelchair with these homebrewed rules I plan to make a video about it to share my perspective. In my searching on TH-cam I haven't actually found a video about pf2e wheelchairs that is actually made by a wheelchair user!

A peasant with 12 strength can throw a horse over his shoulder and walk with a speed of 15 feet...

Hey @slystrategist. Thanks for putting up this video. I'm a Pathfinder Society Venture Agent in San Francisco. If folks have other questions, I'd love to field them! For those in the Bay Area, PFS is thriving in person!

Hope this gets a weapon trait like the other Athletics maneuvers (Disarm, Grapple, Shove, and Trip).

THank for going over the ritual information

Yo, Sly. This system for duelling is... ok. There's nothing wrong about the r-p-s style resolution, but leaving it up to a referee (PC or NPC) seems like it leaves a lot out of the combatants hands, and a lot to bias and ambiguity. That said, I might suggest taking a look at the Certamen rules from Ars Magica as inspiration for writing something better than this. It uses the idea of building up advantage in anticipation of delivering a finishing strike. Just a thought.

Hi Sly Strategist. I'd like to request a video on the subject of how to get started as a GM for PFS. I'd like to get a breakdown of the chronicle sheet, a clear explanation of itemization and how items dissapear after each sessions and you then get to spend a fixed amount of gold. How to check my players' characters to make sure they are legal, and how to award them with credits and items at the end of sessions. Personally I feel like I probably understand how to do all this, but would love for an experienced GM to lay it all out in a simple 1-2-3 steps kinda guide. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Something else I do with my players using Recall Knowledge on creatures -- in addition to their name and a brief description (beyond the obvious physical stuff), I also tell them the creature's level. This gives them an immediate assessment of the threat level, so they know if they need to pull out the Big Guns.

I have 2 questions. 1. What module allows you to pull up the actions like that? 2. Can mobility be used with tumble through to avoid reactive strike? At least if you don't fail your tumble through.

I find some races lack luster. I'm making my own and maybe a bit stronger, however stepping back it isn't due to equipment over claws is Superior as example

Would love to see a part two with Godless Healing and deeper in the Medic archetype.

Just the modules I needed

its ironic to me that you state its a great skill to have at the end when I cant help but think "this is almost worthless without feats that trigger against frightened enemies" the issue is that Frightened isn't SO impactful that a value of 1 for one round PER COMBAT is going to tip the scales and Coercion is still just not as effective or safe to use as something like Persuasion which has the same benefits but without the risk that comes with antagonizing someone. for combat i honestly thing Deception's ability to Feint is more effective sense the Off-Guard condition makes it easier to hit the target (or crit) and there are plenty of abilities from multiple classes that rely on an Off-Guard target. (especially if your a rogue for example)

But WHEN do you fall?! Do you fall instantly the moment it happens? Do you fall at the end of your turn? Do you fall at the beginning of your next turn? When flying and you don't use a fly action you "Start falling at the end of your turn". Does this mean someone can be flying, use an action to "Drop Prone" instantly start "Falling" drop 500ft, use a reaction due to a fly speed to "Arrest a fall" then finish their turn, 500ft lower?!

Everything okay over on your end? It’s been a month since you posted which seems unlike you. Especially when missing the Monster Core release and Archives of Nethys update. Here’s to hoping life has gotten in the way in a positive way for you and not a negative. I don’t do much social media so maybe someone familiar with Discord can offer more insight?

my group is a few sessions in Kingmaker... I havent seen anything about the society there - but if it is, is it too late to jump into a society setting? Or do we need to start something all new? ( I havent finished the video so maybe you address this - I'll do that now :) )

Thanks for this review. I'm looking at Pathfinder Infinite products right now and it's good to see some coverage of them from a GM's POV. Your review is linked on the product's page so I guess the publisher was happy for it - and that's how I found this video among your older vids from before I'd sub'd to you. I see you have a few more reviews as well so I'm off to watch those as well.

This is helpful as a new player, thank you. One thing to note - I've learned that you do not immediately receive all of the treasure items listed on the Chronicle sheet. Rather, you gain access to purchase them for the price listed.

One of my players complained she was still encumbered after stowing all her items in the VTT we use and was so confused as to why it didn't stop her from being encumbered. Ma'am, where do you think the items went, exactly?? Sent her this video.

I've been a user of both HLO and PB2 for building out Pathfinder 2e characters. I've yet to really delve into Demiplane. That being said... I've been building out my campaign manager for Pf2e in Obsidian MD. Problem is, Pathbuilder doesn't work out so well in Obsidian. HLO and DP do, for the most part or at least far better than PB. However, I do like PB for creating quick characters for either Legacy or Remastered. The upside of DP is that if you have a linked Paizo account (which I don't think HLO has as a capability), when you buy the dataset, you also get the PDF of the book, and that's yours to keep forever. HLO has something similar, but I don't know if you lose access to it if/when your subscription ends. Either way, each platform has its pros and cons.

cool video concept! I always thought backgrounds were a great way to mechanically develop a character's personality, this is a great extrapolation on that sort of idea

great vid, youre filling an important niche for pf2e

Don, I think there is something off with your sound timing. Keep up the great vids though!

Just to clarify, you roll YOUR athletics against THEIR reflex, right? What’s the math for trip with assurance?

In my experience so far, running a group from lvl 1-5 thus far... this is one of the fastest running games I've played. You want something that takes forever? Try Exalted 3rd Edition combat.

I was hoping you would have gone deeper on this. Volley and possible cover adjustment

Great video! You becoming my go to source for PF2 info. Thanks for that...

I hadn't realized you could go as far as SIX increments out! Now I'm doing the math in my head about that -10, along with various buffs/debuffs that could happen. 🤔 It DOES present new possibilities!

Two questions: Is there anything with the rules to modify or add a property to a weapons with a ranged tag to add additional range? For example, a masterwork long bow with a range inrament of 120 (up from 100)? Not magical, but that is the second question: Is there a quality of an item within the rules? Better material, construction or quality of the item? I mean homebrew is a thing, just looking for some temperment.

I know this was supposed to be a short video but I am surprised you didn't mention the volley trait for "minimum range" penalties.

Target would have more opportunity to react and dodge as well. Does any of this happen to apply to spells?

I bet that the npc gallery will be in the Monster core. It is the most appropriate book for it.

I'm back re-watching this after Owlcon. I'm GOING to try Foundry soon! _shakes fist at sky_

This is a very different set of modules than most other people suggest for PF2e on Foundry. Thanks! There's some great stuff here.

For folks who are JUST listening: in the section on building NPC like PCs, at 9:53 you SAID “no more than 1 modifier at +1”, but the image shows +4.

The big take away should be pf2e moved away from how NPCs and monsters are built differently then previous editions.
