imagine how different fantasy would be if bilbo was the top variety of burglar.

It’s probably my biggest pain point with the system. I have a buddy who only likes to play magicians. She’s miserable playing 2e because the cool evocative spells she gravitates towards just aren’t the narrow list of reliable, evergreen, and efficient spells that thrive in 2e’s ecosystem.

Ahem. FEAR 3

Me too, my son’s name is Heroism 9!

of course not, I have mirror image up lmao

You can still play it, you know. Those rules didn’t go anywhere.

See, this is why I love my strength build clerics.

I’m outta spell slots, but I’m not outta options.

My party has quite a few tools to resolve encounters without whipping out the initiative tracker, and fights are pretty much only inevitable in the optional dungeons, so it averages out at 0.4 combats per session.

Cute~

also, like, yeah all the time. One day I’ll be able to bust out my lumberjack wizard who just runs a protector tree + shape wood + shrink item factory, but alas I am for now relegated to my hedge hogman breaker’s quest for the 7 forbidden dances.

My GM’s currently running one with just the foundry module and some skimming of the pdf just before each session. I have no idea how he does it.

it has its origins working for D&D iirc, then they split off and made their own D&D with blackjack and hookers when everyone got mad at 4e

The rivalry between wizards and sorcerers is well known, but I feel like there should be some more beef between wizards and bards. And sorcerers and bards. And bards and bards.

yeah that sounds great, liberate me from the endocrine. Haven’t you ever wondered how it would feel to be seperate from all the hormones and animal miscellenia? I think about it a lot.

I hear you, but consider this: robot body

Functioning for several hours doesn’t sound good enough to start thinking about humans, lmao. Give me “a couple decades” and then I’ll be interested.

My medium from PF1e uses harrow-themed masks for their spirits, kind of like Majora’s Mask.

So whenever he wants to warlock it up and start raising the skeletons from the dead, he throws on the Queen Mother mask and slowly shifts into a regal fomorion as influence builds. Whenever its time for crimes like larceny and extortion, The Crows goes on and he progressively becomes a weird birdman. The Cyclone goes on when its time to throw hands, becoming more like an aerial elemental, etc etc. Twelve masks total makes for a fun and visually dynamic character.

No, no, let her cook. Giving up on alignment altogether is a good move

Check out my post history in the character art community here, I’m okay with shitty art for a home game, heheh. But yeah, I know what you mean. There’s usually some kind of uncanny overall feel to ai images. The eyes in particular never seem to look right, like there’s no intention behind them. Mercifully, the VTT I use has each tile only about 70-100 pixels wide, so as long as you’re not zooming in too close, the fucked up details don’t really stand out.

Our party has an oread inventor in the team whose token is AIgenned, and although she looks kind of weird, it’s not so jarring as to take me out of it at least.

AI art’s obviously such a contentious topic for a lot of good reasons, but this is one of the few use cases I think is okay. Because I don’t know about all of you, but I blatantly steal a whole bunch of art for the monsters, anyway.

Animate dead + purify food and drink. Pull off a spare rib whenever and wherever you need it.
