A lot of it is in moving the food to the back of the pan and then flicking your wrist Uncooked rice is cheap and hard to keep in the pan, try doing that outside... If you can keep the rice in you can keep anything in

I'd make the damage type precision as this reads to me as a "sneak attacky" style thing rather than a barbarian rage

For point 2...yeah, it's a nerf to spell attack rolls. But for starters, spell attacks aren't anywhere near as bad as people make them out to be. They're just higher risk, higher reward. Go watch @mathfinder.bsky.social's latest vids for examples of why this is the case.

I started posting PF2 stuff because I felt all the other analysis wasn't "there" yet and I felt I could fill the gap! I'm super happy to see more peeps in the space thinking!

In my #Pathfinder2e campaigns, I put puzzles into three categories: Button, Puzzle, & Hazard. They all of their uses, and using them incorrectly can bring a campaign to a HAULT, so I feel like talking about it for a minute. (This advice applies to #dnd5e as well)

This is real as hell I always think in the moba or fighting game terms when I do my upper level analysis Wrestler in specific can basically be described as "the world's slowest frame trap" (if you know you know)

(And D&D not being super popular will long term hurt discoverability of the hobby, but immediate effect on non-D&D games will likely be positive. I would bet that for a long while (5-10 years) after the buyout non-D&D games would see strict benefit)

If the Muskrat buys Hasbro we will probably immediately see an influx of PF2e players That means ***MORE MARTIAL V CASTER DEBATES*** @dantalksgames.bsky.social you ready for that? There will be no winners if that happens

Came on here to remind everyone that this is the guy who convinced Kamala to stop running on "Republicans are weird" and "We're not going back" and instead to lean into the whole "Republicans in the Cabinet" bullshit. This man is more at fault for what just happened than most people in America.

I dislike that the question is "when is X better than fleet?" when analysing characters instead of the neutral "which feat is best for me" I need to talk myself out of Fleet and that's why I dislike it
040
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
So really just ranged strikers (that are not Fighter as Fighter gets this innately) will value incredible initiative above fleet I don't see that many ranged strikers in my average party
110
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
Means they can go three tiles in difficult terrain or find better positioning easier Move speed is less relevant for them but the mage players will know how much that stride can get you in range of something like a Heal or Slow
100
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
Assume like 8 fights per level up, this means this feat saves you like 3 actions of tempo over the course of a level I would bet fleet saves you more actions of tempo by being able to get that one tile more For melees they need that speed period Ranged users getting to 30ft...
100
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
Say you delay in 1/3rd of the times you win initiative and we are looking at a feat that matters in about 7% of fights again assuming no one scouts It can be basically "time walk" in that 7%, but I think its mostly that good for ranged users / mages
100
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
I get that, but there is not a difference between delaying turn 1 and rolling lower on initiative when all is said and done The choice of when to go is incredibly potent, but that feat only gives you a 10% chance to outroll any given mondter in scenario with no scout
110
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
Honestly "all classes have untyped +5 move speed at level 3" is sensible
100
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
Its a very good A tier, comparable to Toughness, but it aint so good it retroactively makes me evaluate every other feet in response to its existence
110
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
Yea, again I am not claiming its bad, but by definition it only has a chance of mattering in a smaller % of fights, I think Fleet matters in far more and is a more consistent pick I also see turn 1 delays fairly often to force enemy approach or let an ally buff
210
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
Scout exploration activity can give the whole party a +1 of the same bonus type, so incredible initiative is really only like a +1 (yes II is underrated for most games, but its not in the same caliber as fleet)

SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
For the character, imagine a character that can hover, shoot projectiles that echo, has pretty good melee attacks too I lost to 3 of them in a row on Ranked and wanted to tweet about my hatred for that fox. I just dislike fleet, but thought the wordplay was too good lol
020
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
Basically, I don't like how it is the *best* option for a first general feat on 95% of characters and reframes the rest of the general feats as "why would I pick this instead of Fleet"

SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 28/10/2024
Fleet from Rivals 2

Fox with a bow that has elemental air powers and peach floats while spamming projectiles GRRRRRRFleet PF2e

PFS Standard
Fleet
Feat 1
General 
Source Player Core pg. 256 2.0
You move more quickly on foot. Your Speed increases by 5 feet.
Traits
General:
A type of feat that any character can select, regardless of ancestry and class, as long as they meet the prerequisites. You can select a feat with this trait when your class grants a general feat.


It is basically an autopick on every character because there are so few ways to unconditionally boost speed, so I dislike it... I don't really hate it, but I wanted the wordplay of identical names as above

Which kinda runs contrary to other design decisions to make things work the same at more tables, but at some point things just fall to flavor arguments... Lore just falls there faster than I would like
000
SwingRipper @swingripper.bsky.social · 21/10/2024
Well they are more so a consolation prize for "you have every other skill" If you want to invest into that niche topic the skill feat Additional Lore is probably best for that (But yea lore skills are pretty vague to let an indefinite maximum number of trained skills to exist)
