Saithor's Infernal Inferno

Disclaimer: I was not a fan of the PF 2e dev diaries, or of the play-test. This does not mean I'm going to do nothing but bash this book, and I legitimately hope to be pleasantly surprised, but keep in mind this read-through is likely to be very biased. A fair bit of it is also for comedic purposes. It is by no means a declaration that people should not play PF 2e, that people are wrong for enjoying it, or anything along those lines Attacks The one thing you should never screw up. Players or designers So, attacks in PF 2e are at their core the same, roll a d20, attach all applying modifiers, see if it beats, meets, or falls under the Target's AC. There are some new things in this case. The first is Finesse weapons, mentioned here that allow you to apply your dexterity to-hit on the weapon, removing weapon finesse. Bit of playing catch-up to DnD 5e, but nice to see at least feat tax removed off of the field. Another is that with BAB gone, you can now do multiple att...

Yes I am aware the formatting has screwed up the image. It will be fixed at some nebulous point in the future.   Disclaimer: I was not a fan of the PF 2e dev diaries, or of the play-test.

Why did you skip almost four hundred pages? SAITHOR! Okay, so yes, I am skipping ahead massively to this chapter, for one simple reason. Because I can't understand anything about what I'm reading. The entirety of the racial chapters mechanics are filled with terms that I either don't understand or can only guess at the meaning of thanks to my experience with...

As far as fluff goes....it's fine. It's just fine. It's your typical halfling stuff, and there really isn't anything here that is unique in either a good or bad way. I really wish I did have something to joke about but it's essentially what you expect with a halfling. The only thing I can comment on is how their short sta...

So, I started this blog for a variety of reasons, none of which I'm really going to go into here because it's drama that is not going to be dredged up here. I reposted a bunch of stuff where I was looking at PF 2e's core rulebook and doing a half-serious, half-joking page by page analysis. Then I just kinda stopped....Life got in the way, I forgot to continue, and when I did remember there just wasn't time to put in the effort I wanted to. Things have changed to the point where I do have time again, but I can no longer really claim it's a fresh readthrough of PF 2e anymore. I debated just ending the series...then I remembered I literally have a section of the first post discussing my hatred for the stubby nose horn of a dragon. Eh, let's continue it anyway. I'll be doing posts related to general game mechanics, Shadowrun, DnD editions, and anything else I can think of TTRPG as we continue, since apparently I do get hits (somehow).

Short, energetic creatures with a love for fire, comedy, eating disgusting food, hated across golarion. With a racial Drizzt treatment of turning on their Chaotic Evil comrades. Why Paizo thought their comedy race who specialize in animal cruelty themed weapons was a good idea as a core race was a good idea I do not know. Also, another short, specialized in stealth, tinkering, and short stabby things as a race also applies to two other races already in this chapter. There was a lot they could have...

The fluff mostly focuses on their weird disease known as the Bleaching, where a lack of imagination slowly drains the color away from you and...wait a minute, is this the ending of character thing from Changeling where you lose all wonderment with the world and become a hopeless human? Anyway, onto other fluff. The Gnomes have not had an ancient empire, unique for now, and with an interesting view on marriage. Outside that n...
