This is a space for talks and laughs.

A quick note: I may regularly delete posts in areas like Rules or other sections considered strictly game information, to keep things tidy.

I will be choosing a maximum of six players after we’ve discussed character creation.
Nov 23, 2025 6:04 pm
Hey, thank you for the invite. This is exciting. Is this a custom game setting you created?

Also, I know they have removed alignment in the remastered version of the game, but are there any restrictions or preferences you have for character conduct in game? Just so I can better plan out the rough edges of my character, if any, as needed.
Nov 23, 2025 6:16 pm
Yes, alignment has been removed from Pathfinder 2e. Instead, characters and deities are guided by Edicts and Anathemas.
• Edicts are the actions, values, or behaviors your character (or their deity) encourages.
• Think of them as things you strive to do.
• Example: Protect the innocent, honor your ancestors, seek knowledge.
• Anathemas are the actions your character (or deity) forbids.
• Think of them as lines you must not cross.
• Example: Betray your allies, desecrate holy sites, use forbidden magic.

This is my first game here so I may be a bit rusty. Just a heads up.
Nov 24, 2025 4:15 pm
Hey, glad to join another game of yours. I'm tempted to give Malthos another try, but I think i'll save him for another game and try to embrace this new one. I need to read the character creation section, but i'm thinking of doing something probably not the best, but could still be fun. I'm thinking of trying to recreate the D&D 5e eldritch knight in PF2e by playing a fighter and trying to take any wizard archetype feats I can that, at the very least, let me get spells (probably not wizard feats, as i'll still want some fighter feats).

If that is not recommended, or you'd prefer I don't do that, I might try the magus, as I hear it is a lot like what people think a spell sword can do, but has a lot more risk involved as spellstrike missing can (from what I hear) really suck as you don't just miss an attack but waste the spell slot too.
Nov 24, 2025 7:43 pm
Here is the Magus details.

You may try everything you want. To take some spells, you will need to take a dedication feat, it is more limited than a real class.
Nov 24, 2025 9:00 pm
I was thinking about playing a barbarian, but just wanted to know what everyone else had as their own idea, in case we still need a healer or other niche role?

Also @YullyBear I was just wondering if you could state what sort of qualities you're looking for in your players here, or the characters. It would be kind of painful to create the perfect character for this, and then not make the cut. Should I start putting together a character right away?
Nov 24, 2025 9:12 pm
Hello to everyone.
My current idea is to make a Kineticist, most likely Earth + Fire. Though I’m thinking of switching to Wood+Fire for support and ranged, considering 3 people already plan to make melee characters.

For now, there will be no cut. I’ll be running with six players instead of four, which gives us some breathing room if one or two need to step away during the campaign.

If we reach eight or more players, I’ll split into two independent groups. So please don’t worry too much about being cut from the game.

The important choices for character creation are outlined in:

Rules → 1. Character Creation → 2nd post

And yes—we can begin creating characters now.
Nov 24, 2025 9:24 pm
I see you mentioning some backgrounds in the rules section, but I don't see those when I open Pathbuuilder 2e. are they too new to be in there or are they just evocative names?
Nov 24, 2025 9:35 pm
Core material is in the Player Core Rulebook, and Core 2 is in the Player Core 2 Rulebook.

The last section is for the campaign. I haven’t had time to fill in all the information yet, so just let me know which parts interest you most and I’ll complete those first.

Some of them,like Emancipated, are on the Campaign tabs.
Nov 24, 2025 10:00 pm
I’ve updated the campaign backgrounds in the Backgrounds section with their descriptions.
Nov 24, 2025 10:35 pm
I was thinking about using the following background, for my dwarf:


Local Scion: You’re from Breachill and have lived there most, if not all, of your life. You might be the son or daughter of a well-known local adventuring family, or a family with a storied tradition of military or other martial service. You likely also have some sort of skill with your hands, as the people of Breachill are very self-sufficient.

The Call for Heroes is one of your hometown’s most iconic traditions, and you want to attend so you can prove your own merits to the council—beyond simply those of your family’s name.
Boost: Strength or Intelligence + a free one.
Trained: Crafting and Breachill Lore. Feat: Specialty Crafting

It would fit him quite well, both in terms of lore and balance. My question is, are there any renowned dwarf families in Breachill that we could build this around?
Nov 24, 2025 11:53 pm
There’s no direct mention of dwarves in Breachill itself, but the town lies close to the Five Kings Mountains, the ancestral homeland of many dwarven settlements. It’s entirely reasonable that a dwarf might have traveled down from those mountains to settle in Breachill, whether for trade, diplomacy, or simply the promise of a quieter life away from the great halls.

If your character is from Breachill, you could imagine their family as one of the few dwarven households that put down roots here—perhaps stonemasons, smiths, or merchants who saw opportunity in a growing town. This gives you a strong local tie while still connecting back to the wider dwarven culture of the Five Kings.
Nov 26, 2025 2:57 am
So the races are similar to DnD, correct?

JesterKnight93 says:

Yes. Quite similar.

https://www.aonprd.com/Races.aspx?Category=Core

The core races here are the same as 3rd edition DnD, and they are all available. If you click on other races there are a lot more. The GM did say if you want to use one of these to prepare a strong backstory to make it make sense for this campaign.
Nov 26, 2025 7:58 am
You have a complete list of race here.

You may choose any.
Nov 26, 2025 4:22 pm
I'm going with a half elf fighter that will take the wizard dedication. Half elf is a human heritage, and it has an odd name but it mentions elves in your bloodline.

I plan to be a melee combatant, but I'm one of those "fill in the gap" players so if everyone wants to be melee I can adapt and either go ranged or switch to a spellcaster (which is what I normally play).
Nov 26, 2025 6:13 pm
I'm going with a Wizard Hellknight Signifier. Human from Cheliax, Order of the Gate.
Nov 26, 2025 10:52 pm
Is anyone wanting to be a healer?
Nov 26, 2025 11:03 pm
I normally would but that is what I almost always play, so I'm trying to branch out. If no one does, I can go back to old faithful (but in a different system)
Nov 26, 2025 11:44 pm
Hacule says:

As a fire+wood kineticist I could take the feat that let's me create magic apples that heal 1d4 + 1 HP. It takes 2 action to create and people must use 1 interact action to eat it, so bad for combat, but you just need too wait 10 minutes before it heals someone who eat it again.

At level 1 it's fighting for space againt a Protector Tree spell, which is the inverse, being only useful in combat to soak up damage for adjacent allies

I am willing to sacrifice the dwarf barbarian role and take up the mantle of a druid or cleric, as necessary. I don't think the kineticist healing route will be enough for such a large group, if i had to guess. Ironmonger42, I will start looking at the healing options so you just pick what you'd actually like.
Nov 27, 2025 2:03 pm
You can keep dwarf barbarian. . . upon further reflection I'm going to leave the Hellknight on the shelf for another game.

I'll pivot to the mega-caster build I'd been toying with. . . will make sure he can heal well.


It's going to be a spellbound Kobold Draconic bloodlone sorcerer- trying to decide between divine or primal spells?

Both can heal- anyone have pointers?

I am planning to try to be strong yet versatile. I plan to use the shield cantrip from lv 2 and use a bastard sword. That way I can use 1 or 2 hands based on how the rules for spellcasting come into play with the manipulate trait. I also want to try snagging strike, which makes it so if someone needs the enemy to be off guard I just need to make an attack one handed and on a hit the enemy is off guard as long as they stay within my reach and I keep the hand free, of I can grapple with the free hand. If damage is needed I can use vicious strike for 2d12+3 on a hit
Nov 27, 2025 8:21 pm
I am going with half-elf Noble fighter from Cheliax. He is a truth seeker.

Thank you, this is generous of you. I will go back to the dwarf barbarian idea, if you are sure. Unfortunately I don't have any pointers for you.. ChatGPT i imagine would be quite amazing at helping you out here though with the finer points.
Nov 28, 2025 2:49 am
Can you be a draconic sorcerer and use divine or primal spells? I thought draconic sorcerers had to be arcane. I likely don't know something that would help there. I don't know divine vs primal enough to say which is better. I think both have the heal spell which means they are roughly the same if you aren't a cleric that gets a bunch of heal spells for free.
Nov 28, 2025 3:21 am
Draconic Bloodline

Seems so- Draconic can be Arcane, Divine, Occult, or Primal based on their dragon ancestor.
Nov 29, 2025 3:33 pm

@Hacule I think there is enough element for you to begin the character.
@JesterKnight93 if you need any help I am more than happy to help.
Nov 30, 2025 5:28 am
First, thank you for the invite. I've never been able to play Pathfinder 2e, and I'm looking forward to it.

For my character, I'm thinking gnome rogue, but if the group needs a healer, I can make that happen. It isn't an issue if I keep everyone else alive.
Nov 30, 2025 10:21 pm
It sounds like we have a player willing to play the healer, but if we have a lot of players it might be good to have 2 PCs that can heal, even if all one of them can do is just cast a heal or similar spell. Back when I found pathbuilder 2e, I played around with a lot of characters, and a warrior bard could be an interesting way to be a weapon user and have the soothe (like heal) spell, though i'm new enough I can't say that is a good idea or not.
Nov 30, 2025 11:35 pm
Thenaton here is a healer, if unconventional. Will gain a lot more healing when I get to my multi-class archetypes as well.
Dec 1, 2025 9:54 pm
Alright, so I have completed my character, I believe. He is a Dwarven Barbarian Local Scion, Giant Instinct. Please let me know if there is a specific place to post the character sheet as needed.
Dec 3, 2025 5:28 am
Hey all, sorry for the delay. Work and classes made me busy, but I will start working on my character hopefully tomorrow. It is just the create character sheet, right?
Dec 3, 2025 9:47 am
That is ok, especially since we will do certainly 2 groups.
Dec 3, 2025 8:39 pm
Here is a summary of choices made so far:

https://i.imgur.com/xYj6F7C.png

I would like to avoid double campaign special background, unless we do 2 groups, butwe are still missing 2 player for that! i guess I have been to early in my announcement. @Ironmonger42 is well advanced in his background, so it seems better if @Hacule could change it. But I let both of you decide.
Dec 3, 2025 9:47 pm
If Hacule really wants to keep their background, i could make an Out of Towner work, kind of keep the same backstory but say my family lives a few towns over and I wanted to start my journey but Breachill sounded like a better place to start then my hometown.
Dec 4, 2025 3:22 am
Hey, no worries, I am happy to change it!

Just give me some time to think...

Any suggestions?
Dec 4, 2025 3:51 am
If we try to get campaign backgrounds, there is still:
- Emancipated – recently freed from bondage or servitude, you carry scars and determination from your past.
- Hellknight Historian – fascinated by the Hellknights’ order, their history, and their influence in the region.
- Out‑Of‑Towner – a newcomer to Breachill, bringing fresh perspective and outside connections.
- Reputation Seeker – eager to prove yourself and earn fame, whether through heroism or notoriety.
- Returning Descendant – your family has roots in Breachill, and you’ve come back to reclaim or honor that legacy.
- ruth Seeker – driven to uncover hidden knowledge, mysteries, and the deeper truths of the world.
Dec 4, 2025 4:04 am
Yeah I will just go with reputation seeker then. I'll update my character sheet tomorrow then?
Dec 4, 2025 4:06 am
I will take the truth seeker position.
Dec 7, 2025 1:13 am
I am almost done with my half elf truth seeker.
Dec 8, 2025 11:33 pm
Goblin Kineticist is done. Skill and Stats are rather spread out, but that's mine inner min/maxer speaking.

Please use your character name when you post—you just need to select it in drop down menu above edit area, near "Post as:" .
Dec 25, 2025 2:55 pm
Two characters are still unfinished. I need them completed by January 6 so we can start the campaign properly. I’m available to help with anything you need — background, mechanics, personality, or equipment.

If the characters are not finished by that date, or if progress stalls, I will remove those players from the game so the campaign can move forward smoothly.

The first in‑game post is already up. Characters entering Breachill should introduce themselves, interact if they wish, and find a place to stay in town:
• The Wizard’s Grace (Inn & Tavern)
• The Clifftop Brewery
• Renting a Room from Locals (some RP necessary)
• The Campsite Outside Town

Let’s give them a warm welcome and get ready for some fun together
Jan 8, 2026 7:47 pm
Thank you for the welcome! I'm tossed up on what to play, likely a Fighter or Barbarian. Not sure what other folks preferences are ...

Just a heads up. I still plan to be active and post at least each weekday (assuming the game has progressed for me to post). However, due to some life things, for the next week or so I will be checking GP just once in the morning, not more than once a day. If I see a need to post, I will. If something happens in the late morning or later, I probably won't see it until the next morning.

Glad to see I wasn't just paranoid about the fire's smoke also becoming an issue. Quick question, does the hall has any large window?
Feb 16, 2026 10:47 pm
No, finally with all the npc it complexify to much. So player turn and NPC turn will be enough.

As for windows, they do not exist.
Mar 4, 2026 1:06 am
I’d like to ask something openly to Group 1:
would any good soul be willing to move over to Group 2?

It would give us two balanced tables of four players each.
Mar 4, 2026 1:36 pm
what kind of PCs are in group 2? I might be willing to move over, but not if there is already a lot of melee characters
Mar 5, 2026 12:52 am
same on mine side. Though Bungrob is more melee focused he can work at all ranges if Group 2 need a more all rounder
Mar 5, 2026 4:44 am
There is a kineticist, a monk, and a barbarian.
Mar 5, 2026 1:47 pm
Ah, we are both are exactly what they already have
Mar 5, 2026 4:04 pm
Yeah, i'll be going wizard archetype, but not as a blaster more as a self buffer and such that might have a blast option for when he is unable to strike, so essentially still a fighter.
Mar 9, 2026 1:33 pm
Oh, Did group two lose someone? I thought we had four?
Mar 10, 2026 10:15 pm
Yup there was one dropper.

Hi, everyone!

Yullybear, thanks for having me in the group! :)

Well, this second group is lacking in healers, as I can see, but is also lacking a bit in the scholar type.

I think I am going for an Oracle that is an embattled focus of attention to both Dahak and Apsu.

Mystery: Lore
Background: Dragon Scholar
Tending towards a neutral moral standing, but being friends with the team and commited towards helping and protecting them (from Apsu, he/she gets "seeking and destroying evil" as edict and "failing to kill those who betray your mercy" as anathema and, from Dahak, he/she gets "destroying on a whim" as edict and "sparing those you decided to kill" as anathema... so he/she is "good to good people and quite cruel to evil people").

This may help me provide healing, while still being the "bookworm" type. ;)

What do you think?

PS

One more thing: what is the stance of this groups related to AI-generated photography (not AI generated graphical art, which can steal people's styles, but photography, which is neutral in this area)?

Photography, particularly from good photographers, exhibits many unique stylistic attributes and people can actually tell who took some photos by sight (or in whose style they are or appear similar to). I am just being a ponce though. :P As someone who can only draw stick figures and who's still trying to work his camera, I have no strong feelings against either.

FYI, my Avatar is taken from a painting of Moebius' Arzach by the illustrator Kent Williams, and my character's avatar was created by some AI, ChatGPT I think. So there you go.

Yes, but you can more clearly control the authenticity of a photography by prompting only with general photography rules that are followed by any good photographer and don't steal anything from a master in the field.

In a drawing, there is the way in which human figures are represented, the general use of lines, etc. All that is up to personal style, whle in photography, you only use figures are they are (or would be, if they were real...).


Since it is basically photorealistic, it is far easier to isolate what is personal style and what is just good technique.

...and thanks for the welcome! :)

"Oracular Twins" could be a very interesting story. Are there any twin gods? Or maybe oracles to opposing Gods born of the same mother? One god interposing his hand to keep the balance or to spoil the other's plans? Or Oracles of different aspects of the same diety? ...Anyway!
Mar 19, 2026 10:47 am
Well, in RAW, oracles are not of one single deity and that is what makes them "weird".

I created this: Aleena is the daughter of the local smithy and, at birth, she has attracted the attention of both Apsu and Dahak.

She grew with all of the weirdness of an oracle with the Lore mystery and her parents lost many nights listening to detailed accounts of old history... in Draconic, just for the morning to come and their baby not to know she spoke a word. :)

She is definitely a bookworm and fascinated by... dramatic pause... dragons! What a surprise! LOL

She is extremely kind and soft-hearted, but she really, really loves to be cruel to those who are cruel themselves.

Usually, neighbors treated her well, despite the fact that, whenever she made snow angels, Draconic writing appeared in the snow around her and also in the rain drops, when rain was thin, and in dust when she was resting after a round of tag and also... (this is a standard lore oracle characteristic). I am suggesting this because I want her to be a happy, kind girl that goes a long way to protect the innocent and her friends... OK, one that can happily torture the evil necromancer's minion to get to his boss, but still a happy, kind girl. :)

(By the way: I intend to place her cruelty as comic relief, so no gore whatsoever. If she sees anyone torturing the evil minion, she will push the person aside and say "No! It's wrong!... This is not how you do it! Give me this knife and I'll show you." It would help a lot if she had someone to hold her back in her cruel side. :) )

This is the general idea and the "pitch" for the character. If anyone wants to place her in their story, please feel free to do so.

Solid back ground.

I said I am "almost always a wizard", but I saw the group does not have enough healers and I liked Aleena's concept very much.

Is that a problem? If you planned something for a wizard, I can revert to my roots. LOL

I say, play what you would like! Isn't a Kineticist a bit of a blaster type anyway? Not that blasting is all wizardy types are good for...
Mar 20, 2026 4:24 am
I thought a kineticist is someome you go to after you’ve hurt yourself and you need rehabilitating.

Hot rock massage is one of their specializations no?

In France we have kinésithérapeute, often called kiné. Or maybe you were thinking of kinesiologist—both come from the Greek kiné, meaning movement. But a kineticist in Pathfinder 2 is something else entirely: they channel elemental forces like wood and fire to fight in our case.
Mar 20, 2026 1:32 pm
Folks, this is Aleena.

I am posting her sheet here for those who are from Breachill to know her and, if they want, incorporate her in their stories.

I will formally write her backsotry, but I already placed the basics above.

What I did not say is that she works as an assistant to the town's doctor and she is clear that she intends to answer the Call for Heroes in order to keep the heroes alive (some are certain to be her friends, all are good people).

PS: This is not yet vetted by Yullybear, so there can be changes.

Yes sorry, I got swalloed by work at my return, I promise I'll do everything today.

If your character is from Breachill, we certainly know each other.

My character is the daughter of the town's blacksmith.

She is known for:

- Being extremely beautiful and well-articulated (Cha 18, Con 12, Int 14, Diplomacy)
- Being VERY weird (particles of dust, snow, etc. form Draconic writing around her, she senses magic and, sometimes, gets lost in prophetic visions - Oracle, Lore mystery)
- Having a harsh sense of justice (be good to the good and punish the evil with cruelty)
- Being a bookworm, loving anything and everything about dragons
- Being a bit clumsy (Dex 10)

Who is your character, beyond name, class and race?

Presume so. There arre two groups being run and YB was online yesterday.
Apr 12, 2026 1:26 pm
Yes it continues, but a lot of people don't answer my posts, I finally post for group 1, but there is a couple of player not responding either.

I need everybody response to know if everyone follows.
Apr 15, 2026 3:42 am
I've had a busy week with taxes and looking for a job and dealing with a wife in pain and and a 2 year old simultaneously. I'll make sure to progress things in the morning, as I need to go to bed now.
Apr 15, 2026 7:05 am
Yeah, I am sorry that it took me a while to post there for a while, I am having a hard time with the pacing. But if things are moving now I will do my best to keep up with the schedule.
Apr 15, 2026 1:56 pm
Ironmonger42, best wishes for you and your family!
Apr 15, 2026 8:13 pm
Folks, I am in doubt about one thing: there are several classes, feats, backgrounds, etc. that give you spell-like abilities.

In good old D&D, they become what is known in Pathfinder as the "Subtle" trait (which means they don't require incantations, movements, etc.) and thus can be cast without others noticing it.

Is this true for Pathfinder 2e? Do spell-like abilities acquire something like the "Subtle" trait?

They do? Didn't know that.

Well if it's a spell-like ability then it follow the usual spells rules, no? Meaning unless the spell has the Subtle trait, or you have some way to add said trait, they still requires the caster to make gestures and utter incantations.
Apr 15, 2026 11:52 pm
To me there is no subtle trait in Pathfinder 2.
Apr 16, 2026 12:27 am
YullyBear, you will find it in spells such as "Message".

In the following link, you can see it:

Not sure what the status of this game is, but I'm going to drop; my relentless work schedule has me beaten down and I can't focus on as much as I have on the plate right now.

Thanks all.

All good, bro. Take care.

Sorry I had more work than I anticipated these last weeks. Sorry to see you go Thenaton.
May 11, 2026 12:26 am
Folks, is this game going forward?

I just noticed that I travelled and forgot to look into the game for almost a week. That is a bad sign, especially because I lost literally nothing in terms of character posts. :(

I have heard nothing from Yullybear since the 28th, but he is around the place. I do not understand.

Well, it seems that I have been an idiot. There is a whole new thread and several posts from Yully that I didn't see before.

I'm not sure what happened. I've been looking nearly every day, but the new post indicators weren't showing and I swear I didn't see that 2nd thread at all! But there are posts starting on the 28th when he last messaged. Permissions snafu? Gah!

Group 2 is down to two active players, and I can’t keep it running like that. Instead of trying to save it again, I’d like to merge the two survivors into Group 1. Group 1 is only slightly ahead of you.

Is everyone fine with that?
May 11, 2026 10:53 am
Yeah, fine with me if the other team are okay.

@Dhakhan,@JesterKnight93 Do you see the new forum with the two sub-forums ?
May 13, 2026 1:29 am
Yes, I see it. So we are officially moving to group 1?
May 13, 2026 11:29 am
Yup. Sorry about that, but I do not see how to do it in another way. I wait for Dhakhan post and I add you as coming from the town, late comers who took sometimes to help people in town.

@Emberskyes you were in Group 2 too ?
I thought you left, if not there is 3 people left in group 2, then we can continue.
May 13, 2026 10:47 pm
I was but I had not seen a post there for sometime. I am to be honest kind of overloaded atm with life in general so if you don't need me I can back out easy enough.
May 15, 2026 4:46 pm
It's as you wish. Apparently there was a problem with rights, probably my fault.

My only question is: do you want to continue? It's not a problem for me.
OOC:
I am on vacation, so less exchange until May 26th.
May 16, 2026 4:52 pm
I am over loaded atm so I'll just depart to simplify my life a bit.

May 18, 2026 9:08 pm
huh, so the duo is now just one person entering the scene? Also can we on the beast room see them on the corredor, or is it just Orixian who is aware thanks to the check?
May 21, 2026 9:17 pm
Yup the duo is now one, I edited. Orixian heard something more, I added it to the post.

The campaign is on track again. Sorry for loss of time.

Jun 2, 2026 3:17 pm
Just a heads up, I am going on vacation thursday through monday, so I cannot commit to posting while I am gone, but will try if i have good connection in the hotel room and things are calm enough to let me. If you need to continue and are waiting on me on those days, just continue.

Sorry to see you go. But if you want you can come back, not much has happened so far.

Out of town until the 14th of July, so there may be some slowness from time to time.

I'll be visiting family and travelling for most of July. I'll have Internet access, but it will probably be spotty. I'll do my best to not fall too far behind.
Jul 14, 2026 11:45 am
As often with rorolls, i went form 9 to 11 so still likely a miss. I feel like if I have advantage in D&D, i tent to roll well, but if I am offered a reroll after the fact that rarely gives me anything, lol
Jul 16, 2026 11:30 am
Big problems with account and computer, be back asap.

I'll be going on vacation this weekend and will be gone for a couple weeks. I will check in on what's going on once I return.
Sep 7, 2026 8:35 pm
Just confirming, is the one that is alive leaving and the fight over, or is the combat still on?
Sep 7, 2026 9:29 pm
That's up to you. It broke off and went under in the muddy pool.
If you want to go looking for it, we're still in combat. If you leave it, the encounter's over.
Sep 9, 2026 5:50 pm
I vote to leave no survivors
Sep 11, 2026 2:11 am
Skurl would likely vote for mercy of some sort.
