Running Abomination Vault right now, that one is deadly. I killed 2 PCs so far, all without my fault!

I see vital strike as more situational, where power attack is bread and butter for any str based melee PC. Vital strike can certainly be good, but generally I think power attack gives more damage per turn in more situations.

There’s a sale at the Paizo store right now, but more interesting is the fact that I also got the PDFs for the adventure paths, pawn boxes, and card decks I bought added to my digital library. As far as I can tell this isn’t advertised anywhere, and I don’t know if it applies to items outside of the sale.

It’s kind of ho-hum for a place in Golarion. You’re right, it’s based on American exceptionalism which is boring while the other inner sea countries can be boring but in exceptional and interesting ways. I like that it exists and that it can be contentious and unstable sometimes. Like Andorran mercenaries being a pain in the ass to work with because they think they’re the main character and get squeemish about certain crimes. Andorans make pretty good adversaries and instigators since most people might not even disagree with the image they project. But I probably wouldn’t seek out any literature or character options about Andoran. Oh except for one teensy weensy tiny little thing FUCK MOTHERING GEORGE WASHINGTON BIRD https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Talmandor [image: 03fc374f-59d7-4b5c-845e-6982c4529b28.webp] BUCAW

The Despair Dragon in particular. I don’t think I have ever seen such a weird-looking dragon.

Well, paying more for stuff is never fun, but the profit margins in the RPG industry are razor thin as it is. Both the employees of Paizo and their freelancers have mouths to feed, and I can understand why they do it. I’ll continue to buy their stuff as before.

I appreciate paizo as a company.

I admit, I’ve never touched Hero Lab, but I assumed you got the PDFs with the service. If you don’t… Weird. Fanatical dropped into the basement, over on th’other site, to let everyone know that there’s a promo code for 10% off their bundle, which can be entered at checkout: REDFV10

@thefuzzyfurrycomrade@pawb.social Fair. I’m just very used to people telling newbies that various aspects of the system are sacrosanct and non-negotiable.

While this is really neat, I still would love to see custom pawns, and colored numbered pawn bases.

Doing the work of the gods! Thank you very much for the summary

We got any write-up of what the classes entail yet? I don’t particularly wanna watch the VoD tbh

I used my battle cards and my pawn box for the first time yesterday. When you use the battle cards, do you put them back laying down in the box? I anticipated they would stand up like the mail order recipe cards from the days of yore. And do you put the pawns back into their sheets? Or punch out everything and pile them in the box?

@nocturne@piefed.social Yeah. They just say “5e” without specifying 2014 or 2024, but I think the lack of specifying and the use of legacy terms is implying they’re targeting the original release.

oh you know I think I saw something like this. I just needed the kick to remember. Im not sure if it would effect player decisions though as the way they do dc’s its always going to be smartest to upcast damage spells to the highest or second highest spell levels and use lower level ones for save type or utility spells like grease or longstrider.

@silvergm@dice.camp Exactly! It seems, though, that far too few GMs feel like they have permission to go outside the posted guidelines with purpose.

The remorhaz page gives you the relationship to frost worms as part of a “Related Creatures” sidebar, while the frost worm only has “Additional Lore”. I assume this means that the two are related, but no one in universe actually knows for sure, since the remorhaz takes centuries to metamorph into the frost worm. Looking at the Pathfinder Wiki, I can’t find much more that goes into the details of either creature.
