"Have you seen the new Sonic movie?"

I’ve played ttrpgs for years so I figured when I started playing with this new group that I was pretty experienced. Here’s the thing. My groups have been inconsistent to the point where I’ve never played above level 5. In this campaign we’re currently at level 13. So I’m quickly realizing how little I know about this game I’ve claimed to be comfortable with. Not too worried about the imposter aspect. I’ve already been pretty up front about overestimating my skill. But here’s what happened.

I got a great roll on a random loot table that awarded me a Maze scroll. This was during my one-on-one session zero with the DM, so no one else knew this. Last session we had one character down with two failed death saves and we had one other character who was about to go down. As far as I could tell, the monster we were fighting had plenty of health left. So I used the scroll to give us, ideally, a few rounds to heal and prepare some attacks for when I ended concentration or it escaped, which was unlikely because it wasn’t an intelligent creature.

Regardless, since it was an 8th level spell that no one even knew I had, and in retrospect I also wasn’t following the rules when trying to use it (didn’t know this at the time), everyone was pretty surprised. Not necessarily bad surprised, but surprised. Shortly after I did though, our wizard was like, “uh, do you happened to have another one of those?” and our rogue said, “oh, he could have copied that into his book.” No one said much beyond that and the DM let me get away with casting this 8th level spell I didn’t know without a roll.

So I’m just wondering if this was a fuck up that I should throw a little apology his way for or if I should just let it go. Doesn’t seem like a huge deal either way based on people’s reactions, but still.

This is the first official book of the Starfinder 2e series! It is compatible entirely with Pathfinder 2e, however it does seem to me that its better to use Pathfinder 2e content inside of Starfinder 2e than the other way around. Includes a bunch of ancestries and some feats for our favorite space-nazis-to-kill. I think the Space Pirates are really good! Enjoy!

I was busy keeping track of Black Tentacles and Crushing Despair's effects so I forgot about the second save for creatures who critically fail against Phantasmal Calamity, which could have stopped the two standing PCs from reviving the two downed PCs and led to a complete TPK. Just one of them failing the save would have guaranteed a dead party member, and they only had about a 20% chance each to succeed. After that they would have had to roll a 19 or 20 to escape the illusion thanks to their debuffs, which they'd need to get on their first attempt or lose both of the downed party members.

And now one of my players has pointed out Black Tentacles has been upgraded to Slither in the remaster so they should have been even more killed. With an extra 2d6 damage plus persistent poison every round I could have absolutely tpk'd them. This is so fucking upsetting. They should have all died and had to make new characters and the paladin player forced to write the backstory on why the help he requested took so long to arrive

i just wanna kill PCs and everyone said this AP would kill loads but I trained my players too well and now I missed my chance to kill them aaaaaaaAAAAAA

If this blows up, priority will be given based on timezone proximity, with account age as a tiebreaker.

No experience needed with ttrpgs.

Hi comrades!

I am looking to rework aid for pf2e, but feel like I am missing something. I wrote down my problems and ideas on the scribe link. Would appreciate some help!

Friends, I have once again gotten a pre-release of a Paizo book. Enjoy. If this saved you money, go to /c/mutual_aid and pay it forward there.

What do you comrades think about my gundancer?

TL;DR Non-performance bravado is harder, finisher only with firearms Melee Finisher gain the fatal die as precise strike, confident finisher on finishers that are made with MAP, easier reload class archetype feat is Pistol Phenom tweaked

Come and talk about them with me!

Really excited about this. I have the playtest docs and it looks great. I love Blades in the Dark and the Doskvol setting, and I love cold war spy thrillers, so this really appeals to me.

If there are interested Hexbear/lemmygrad folks (and we could figure out a time/platform) I would be willing to run a couple of sessions.
