Crit fails/successes are built into Pathfinder2e, so yeah we use em’

Some of the best stories in all my RPG experiences have come from a crit fails!

*it’s not fun in 5e

Bulk/weight/encumbrance in other systems is handled well and makes it so equipment choices matter more and the players choices have more impact on the game, while not being terribly designed so it feels like a chore (aka 5e)

Yup. When I used to run 5e I made my own homebrew encumbrance system that worked way better then read PF2 rules and got annoyed because this character concept is viable in PF2 and it has an encumbrance system that actually works.

There’s held items, stored items, and worn items. Held and worn can be easily accessed but count against your bulk limit. Stored items (in your backpack) count against your bulk less so you can carry more but take longer to access in battle. So if you’re strong enough you can literally wear your entire weapon arsenal just like this meme since there’s no limit to worn items as long as it’s not above your max bulk lol

(Bulk is an abstracted form of weight that makes encumbrance easier to track)

Alright, PF2 rant done. Seeing your frustrations with 5e bulk reminded me of my own when I still ran that system lol

Removed by mod

I’m telling you, just play Pathfinder 2e already. They have great dying rules that prevents up/down abuse with the wounded condition building on the dying condition to stop the up/down cheese seen in 5e.

I used to run 5e for years and also use to make all kinds of house rules and systems just like this to get it to run how I wanted it to because it doesn’t do much outside of combat out of the box. I read through the PF2e rulebook and kicked myself for not switching sooner because they have a rule for damn near everything I would want to run and super balanced at the same time.

Life of a Peasant

That’s a core memory from out of the depths, thanks for the reminder.

It’s best to go with your partner so you can have fun picking toys and things together. I could see how it might be depressing if you’re by yourself.

Sounds like a weird version of a political compass but with real world effects instead of terrible memes.

The video works for me using Lemmy on Mobile Firefox web browser. The fun quirks of early software lol

… the Department claimed in court that the records requested did not exist.

… the records were produced in March 2023.

I normally don’t like using generalizing statements but I sure do hate all Republicans. So sick of their hate and greed fueled by lies and deception.

Of course the YouTube comments are disgusting. Hamas are horrid barbarians for this, that is not excusing Israel’s history of human rights violations. But there is nothing about this act that is justifiable.

Yeah an hour and a few gold isn’t really a penalty at all in 5e with how easy it is to get money. Even at low levels imo. I’ve been doing this gag since level two (we’re now level fourteen) and the cost was a joke then too.

Because 5e has no mechanical incentive to keep familiars alive I made it a running joke to repeatedly kill my familiar with my AOE spells. It dies every combat session and normally to my own fireballs or lightning bolts. My familiar hates my wizard but is contractually obligated (magically bound) to obey my orders. When it glares at me I’ll yell “you don’t have a union!” made the GM laugh and the Ranger gasp the first time lol

But I think the GM is making a familiar union will my owl familiar as the founder.

That’s not what the comment thread was talking about. It wasn’t about removing the instance from running just to stop advertising it on the join-lemmy site and they refused.

Okay, so they do have a line. Nazi’s just don’t cross that line for them. Awesome job, dev team.

Edit: Now downvotes on an anti-nazi comment. Lemmy sure has become a shit place as of late.

You have to enable the adult only games in your settings menu, they don’t show up by default.

I wouldn’t hold your breath, they didn’t even want to remove the Nazi instance in their AMA.

Edit: To the responses, great, it’s gone. Removing that pedo content shows that they’re not too overworked to purge content like that from join-lemmy. So there’s no reason for them not to remove the Nazi instances being advertised on the front page of join-lemmy. We’ll just look the other way on that one I guess.

Sure, here you go. Personally, I don’t like his responses.

This is just extra special of not feeling great about lemmy into the future.

You can still be shitty in those communities too, but with better moderation tools other people who want a space without bigots and hatred can still maintain those. So we can have both, right now it’s mainly the shitty people that are happy. Which is not good for building lasting communities.

More granular moderation tools.

But in the last dev AMA they made it clear that wasn’t a priority. Honestly it killed a large chunk of excitement I had about Lemmy. Without ways for mods to keep the communities free of shit heads the communities won’t be sustainable and will stop growing.
