The not quite 10-foot Pole

Yes, like, there's one redditor who always comments on gishes saying he doesn't want them to be more powerful, but then in the same sentence wants them to be like ameridote, best of all worst of none. It just baffles me

It's as if some people can't wrap their heads around that with several players at the table you might not want one person to encroach on all roles and just copy paste a winning build.

How else can you be good at the tactical game if the default button isn't the only one you need to press. But seriously, this game shines so much when you do things outside of your regular actions

You don't find one button rotations fun? /S
I feel like any and all curveballs are anathema in current play. People acting like rogues are only precision damage providers infuriate me. I don't even know what to say then, so many skills, skill actions and whatnot, rogues are much, much more

That's why I hate when people don't look at anathemas, especially with free archetype. Stuff just lazily cobbled together to just get the good stuff, like a mtg deck that splashes in the "OMG OP OP" cards of the newest set. Shut up Karen, Abomination Vaults ain't the LCS

My purely rp reason is "I want to be just superior to others and flaunt that, hence look at my immobile turret magus psychic with all the outlier options picked out. What do you mean Lamezo limited my burst potential by nerfing sure strike?"

I'd like to see the venn diagram of players who can't socialize well and reddit users, might be a circle

Also, it's not that the dragon levels up with you, your hands just got long enough to box with God

I really enjoy being able to improve someone's odds at hitting, to me DS kinda feels like winning more. It's not that I enabled that hit, I just made them hit harder. The same defensively. I can't stop the boss from hitting, I can only damage control. Plus, in DS you can fail skill checks

I mean, there will always be bad dice luck in dice games. It doesn't stop people from using it as a bludgeon against other systems that have misses. The Draw Steel subreddit already employs the good old downvote people who don't sing praises of every aspect of the game

I remember using your big ones at the start and then plinking with at wills until the end. Draw Steel has a cool workaround for this problem. That and the "no null state" can be a lure for some disgruntled pf2e players. I can see DS fixes this comments in future threads

No, but seriously, it's about profit. All these platitudes and empty slogans still boil down to 5e gets more views and more money. It's almost as if there's a word for that that starts wit c and ends with apitalist

Now it's basically a TTRPG series, can't wait for them to stream on Netflix. If I was a Darrington Press employee, I'd be screaming into the void

We should nornalize "sorry bud, you're shit at tactics" as a valid response to these takes

My takeaway from 1 session of DS? Everything is damage and everything is about gratification. You do x? oh, you deal damage, you do y,. oh, you also deal damage. I bounced off of it because I actually like having a miss chance. There are some neat concepts in DS, but not for me I think

And after that Guardian/Commander kneejerk extravaganza. My spicy pick is people are going to shoehorn sf2e options into pf2e and start demanding top down changes so that pf2e stuff gets buffed to sf2e levels

The more things change, the more they stay the same, now we need a lore change drama and the circle of jerk will go on.

Is the sub having a meltdown again over casters/encounter design?

Pre RoE you had storm druids, boy I love tempest surge. Add to that a sturdy chassis and you can stay in the fray blasting left and right. IMO remastered approach to refocus enabled so, so many more casters

Or an imperial sorcerer with force barrage. You really don't need more to be better at bossfights than your martial teammates. Your turn comes up, boom, guaranteed damage that puts a clock on the boss.

One aspect of them I see people miss with these is how a single slot gives you access to versatile damage types. These are perfect against oozes. You plop down a summon with bludgeoning damage and swing away. Unless the GM ignores mindless you have a damage sponge and a beat stick

Hyperoptimization is so prevalent people don't really notice it. Every archetype that doesn't improve upon a class or synergizes with class mechanics is automatically deemed as bad and only worth picking in a FA game. That's not it, though, I had a perfectly functional non FA linguist scoundrel.

My favorite is someone going around accusing each person of strawmanning where their comments clearly indicate they do equate specialization with vertical power.

This is why we can't have nice things

He didn't beg first

I'm playing one now, only level three but I have a lot of fun with my Lepidstadt nerd.

Sending this to the resentment witch in my Ruby Phoenix campaign. Absolute banger

topdown change because you only fight bosses that are bosses and not chumps presented as bosses. Tactics in a tactical game? Ew

Don't forget preemptively othering people who enjoy casters. Besieged fortress much
