The wizard should have been doing that while the Warlock was arguing with the GM about the number of spell slots they had left.

But have you considered how awesome they’d look in that weird store in the mall that sells knockoff anime swords?

RedFrank24 This is why media literacy is important.

Of course she’s selfish in the bedroom. She’s evil. She’s a pillow queen.

RedFrank24 She’s a queen! She’s not the one who needs the short claws.

[email protected] The issue us that it breaks with the established systems of “reality” without explanation or cause. It’s an arbitrary deviation from the established and shared understanding of how things work, with the only available explanatiin being “because I said so, so shut up and don’t question me”.

It’s one thing if there’s the equivalent of the Conceal Spell feat and actiin from Pathfinder being leveraged here,but tbat comes with both a build tax and an action tax. If there’s no price being paid, it’s a little bit of a “fuck you” to the players.

[email protected] Oh, no, I mean they literally told me “I thought this was going to be like being characters in a book, where there’s a clear plot we’re following. Can you make it more like that?” And so I did.

Then they found The Thing during one of the sessions I was running while trying to actually structure things in the background. It was something I didn’t think was significant, but I probably should have seen it coming.

It… was not part of the restructuring work I was doing. It was part of the holding pattern “random bullshit” I was throwing at them for a few weeks.

Anyway, the campaign is about that now.

So I put one together.

They ignored it.

[email protected] The prone stuff also just seems unbelievable. Jabbing someone with your off-hand isn’t going to knock anyone over. It’s not a running body check against someone who isn’t bracing.

I see this all of the time in the PF2r subreddit. Everyone wants to know why it’s so hard to push enemies around or knock them over, as if they’re pro-wrestlers desperate to oversell for you for a paycheque, and not creatures who are opposing your attempts to do those things.
