Paizo’s new war mage from Battlecry might be right up your alley!

We talked about trope-defying characters yesterday; what is your favorite #pathfinder2e / #DnD trope to lean into tho? I’m partial to kung fu monks and cowboys, personally.

She looks amazing!

Ha! Reminds me of a friend’s #Starfinder envoy, who was very much a ‘basic’ Valley girl. When the player had to leave the campaign for a spell, we said the character fell into a pumpkin-spice fueled stupor and needed to recover at a hospital!

One of my favorite things is playing against type. What’s your favorite #pathfinder2e / #DnD / #Starfinder2e character that plays against type? Dwarf Wizard? Gnome Barbarian? Android Envoy? (Image by PAIZO)

I’m sorry, I’ve been there. I wish you all the luck in finding your way out.

This just in, screw my local transit system for making me an hour late for work or pay 2 hrs worth of paycheck to get me to work on time via taxi. Thanks whoever changed the route priorities when they are understaffed!

Well, I promised I would, sorry for the delay, but here's my take on the #knightsofguinevere (or #KoG)

Yeah, they don’t get to legendary armor, but the item is the best.

PsiPrimeProductions @akesslerrpg.bsky.social · 5d

Best armor in terms of item. Armor inventors can get medium or light armor with a total bonus (item+dex) of +6. That’s like full plate without str penalty.

Ah, runesmith.

PsiPrimeProductions @akesslerrpg.bsky.social · 5d

Oh no, I got into it with a few people on the PAIZO boards during playtest. One actively accused me of trolling when I dared to suggest soldiers weren’t ’complete garbage PAIZO should be ashamed of themselves.’

So I’m guessing, in O
Pathfinder terms, Su is an inventor or maybe investigator (with crafting) and the Kholo is an alchemist with an alchemical familiar?

#starfinder2e Hills that I will die on. Soldier is not bad. How some people sing the praises of fighter who ‘bonk accurate,’ but say soldier is boring for firing off area weapons baffle me. You don’t have to like them, but they are more interesting than fighters IMHO. 2e.aonsrd.com/classes/5-so...

Alchemist is a whole class unto itself, with subclasses focusing on healing, poisons, bombs (like alchemist fire) or mutagens.

1000% Yes, your inventor won’t be able to do as much damage as a barb, but your barb Isn’t going to be revers engineering runes or building weapons that can bypass demon/devil/construct armor all at once.

Arguably, commanders can now do it better with the ability to medicine with their int and medicine with their shield hand.

#pathfinder2e hills I will die on. Everyone should try playing a healer at least once. Doesn’t have to be a cleric; sorcs, animists, witches can all do it. But let us forever healers try out one of our other character concepts every once in a while. I promise you, healing is more fun than you think.

#pathfinder2e hills I will die on. The inventor class is good. Notice I didn’t say the best, but you can get the best armor in the game, 2 damage resistances (including spirit and void), and a solid damage boost to melee/ranged. Plus out of combat healing. 2e.aonprd.com/Classes.aspx...

#pathfinder2e hills I will die on. Timber sentinel is way too overpowered. Infinite at-level ranked spells that reduce damage is crazy. Ay Level 9, that’s like 50 temp HP a round perfectly divided among your party near it. Saw it no sell a campaign. WTF #paizo ? 2e.aonprd.com/Feats.aspx?I...

Plus piercing/slashing/piercing resist plus a really high fort and reflex DC.

#pathfinder2e hills I will die on. The wasp swarm is WAY too powerful for its level. Anyone who sends it up against a party of level 2s; even odds you have a character death (depending on party makeup.)

Final day I'm going to talk about fun #starfinder2e weapons. The Cardslinger is terrible, it's advanced, only does 1d4 damage . . . and I love it. I want to shoot playing cards at someone hard enough to hurt them. Someone please make this build work. #paizo 2e.aonsrd.com/equipment/we...
