Damage Cantrip

I want to play a druid without having to use a weapon, but the problem is in pathfinder druids don't learn damaging cantrips. Is there a feat or a way I can get a Cantrip that does damage as a druid?

Is day job calculateable?

I know you can calculate the DC of a day job check ( 14 + floor( (4/3) * task level ) up to task level 20 ), but is there a way to calculate the value per day by task level and level of proficiency instead of just looking it up?

Radio magnetic interference

Hello, for the past few months I have had issues with the FOB key of my Pathfinder. It works fine everywhere except in my driveway and the garage. And even then it works, sometimes. We tried changing the battery of the FOB and even reprogramming it. At this point I suspect radio magnetic interference around my house but I haven't been able to find out from where. I tried turning off an on the wifi in my house in case that was the issue but so far no luck. The other clue is we seem to have more of a problem when it's raining or snowing that when it's dry. Any ideas out there? Anibal

Advice for running Jade Regent

Has anyone here run this AP? I'm wondering if the caravan system is easy to deal with or if it bogs down gameplay. Also "We be goblins!" is supposed to be an intro before playing Jade Regent (just read through it and it seems like fun). Where does "We be goblins too!" the sequel to We be goblins fit in? WBG then WBG2 then Jade Regent? Thanks in advance.

TTRPG Enthusiasts!

Have you ever started a TTRPG campaign but can’t find a space big enough to host everyone? Or maybe you have the space but no equipment or minis or any of the right tools to get an immersive experience?

I’m looking for interest or support to starting a business where I rent out rooms and space with a table, chairs, equipment and misc. for TableTop Role-Playing Games.

The rooms would have a game table, chairs for a whole party plus a GM setup. Rental would come with options for minis, maps, books, sound and video equipment, and other TTRPG necessities.

Please respond if this sounds like something you’d be interested in using or if you know someone who would be interested in this. I know some game stores have options like this but these would be fully decked out rooms with themes to them for an immersive play experience.

Ive never really done this so youd need to hold my hand a bit trough it but i really want to join someone.

Im a druid deer beastkin, my character is adapted from another series so it sound a bit ridiculous and op at first but i promise it makes a bit more sense as it goes.

Qinggong Monk Question

At 8th level the monk gets Slow Fall of 40 ft. But if you are playing a Qinggong Monk, and gave up slow fall at 4th level, what happens at level 8? Can you replace that slow fall amount with another ki power or do you take away wholeness of body from level 7? They made it very confusing. Do you still get the slow fall of 40? A lower level ki power may have been a bad trade if it took away the ability to slow fall any distance at 20th level.

Oozemorph build?

I am a man who likes to play the goofy builds that were clearly made by an intern but im running into some problems with exactly “how” i should build

I am a dwarf oozemorph level 5, and thus far i have the following feats: Toughness, improved natural attack, and step up. I have more or less decided “fuck armor” since at some point im just gonna always be either a large animal, or a troll.

The problem im running into is i don’t know what feats to get from this point forward. I just hot step up buy would be willing to trade it out if someone had a good idea for what i should build like to get the most out of my pseudopod slams, and DR

Cold Iron Chunk, what for?

My chronical sheet has a Cold Iron Chunk as a reward. I looked it up but I don't see the point of it. In a home game I could use it as a weapon. What can I do with it in PFS?

Tips for running PFS as regular adventures

I'm running a monthly game and wanted to do something compact and contained and PFS scenarios seem like the best way to do one shots that are still connected. However, the XP and treasure mechanics feel like they'd be too rigid for a home game and it removes some of the joy of, say, finding a magic sword or something. While I haven't run PFS scenarios before, I imagine you still find those items and are simply not allowed to keep them, but I don't know if they're balanced in such a way that players could. Perhaps there are an abundance of enemy magic items because the writers know the players aren't keeping all that loot.

Does anyone have any tips on how to adjust a PFS scenario so that it fits more with a home game? Or am I overthinking it?

Wizard Questions

In reference to 2e Remastered...

  • How do curriculum spells differ from regular spells? At level 3 I can prepare 3 level 1 spells every day. Can I substitute the curriculum spell for one of the prepped spells? Or does it work like a focus spell? Or is it just for thematic purposes?

  • I know that I learn 2 spells each time I level up. But when I unlock a new spell level (e.g. gained level 3 & unlocked level 2 spells) do I learn 1 curriculum and 2 other spells? Or do I learn 2 spells, and at least one of them has to be a curriculum spell?

  • Summon Undead says "You summon a creature that has the undead trait and whose level is –1 to fight for you.". For organized play, should I bring printouts of the creature(s) that I plan to summon? Or is a screenshot on my phone good enough?

Rise of the Runelords book 5 question

Hey y’all, my group is about to finish book 4 and face Mokmorian. As long as a TPK does not happen we will begin book 5 and begin the Scribbler arc after a bit of letting them shop in town. Just making sure I’m translating this right but everything and everyone has partial cover from the fog provided by “guards and warding” correct? And no creature native to the dungeon has a way to see through the fog right? It’ll put the fog cutting lenses to great use once the party gets there I just found it odd nothing native to this dungeon can see through this fog as well.

I'm a total newbie to Pathfinder, and only know the best from the DnD universe. Could you mention some essential tools you use on a regular basis? Specific to Pathfinder, not generic ones, please.

Desert building maps

So I am looking to run the Legacy of Fire module, however neither the module books or the module map folio have maps for the buildings in the "Ruins of Kelmarane" area. I was curious if anyone had any extra maps that would be fitting for these buildings.

Remaster Rebuild Questions

Hey everyone I’m currently in the process of rebuilding my Sorcerer with the remaster rebuild (I want the Sorcerous Potency class feature).

I have the Psychopomp bloodline and it wasn’t reprinted in Player Core 2. I plan on using the same Blood Magic and Focus Spell and just using the updated spells wherever possible. Hopefully that’ll be fine.

My second and main reason for the post: gold. According to the table I get 66 gp after rebuilding. I’m not a fan of that since I haven’t been spending gold (I only play at one convention once a year) and have 108 gp. It says an alternative rule is that you can sell all your equipment and be buy everything.

Can I keep my current gold if I just all my equipment at 1/2 price and then buy everything back? (plus other things too, I’ve been looking to buy a wand)

What languages can I take in PFS2e?

I am about to take the Multilingual feat. There are a lot of uncommon languages, including regional languages.

Is there any restriction on the languages I can take? If so what is it?

Pathfinder Chronicles- Collaborative Updates: Nex

Nex

Nex (pronounced NEKS)^(1) is a cosmopolitan realm on the southeastern coast of Garund filled with arcane wonders and ancient scars. It was established by the mighty wizard-king Nex, who vanished 4,000 years ago.^(2)

History

The nation now known as Nex grew up around the ancient city-state of Quantium. During the Age of Destiny, the ambitious archmage Nex gained control over Quantium and subjugated the nearby cities of Oenopion and Ecanus, which became the foundation of the kingdom bearing his own name. Over the following centuries, Nex travelled Golarion and the Great Beyond, and brought the treasures he found and the magical knowledge he discovered back to his kingdom. He trained hundreds of wizards in the secrets he discovered, and used wish-level magic to improve and protect his realm.^(2)^(3) Filled with unwavering confidence in his achievements, Nex pressed on, leading his formidable armies of constructs even deeper into the southern territories. Their destination was the once-fertile farmlands of an abandoned Osirian farming colony, now under the control of the formidable necromancer-lordGeb.^(2)

Wizard to rebuild or not?

I have a PFS2e Wizard (Diviner) that was made before the new Player Core came out. I have the option to rebuild him with the new rules or keep him as he is.

I am not sure which would be better for me. I am pretty inexperienced, both with old and new PF2e.

Can anyone offer advice, input, or just things to consider?
