I'm guessing the damage is lower due to the persistent damage and the fact that spirit damage can take effect if the target has fire resistance/immunity.
Spirit damage is a new damage type that replaces the law/chaos alignment damage. There was also a leaked sidebar from Rage of Elements which has the following:
Vitality and void replace positive and negative traits and damage.
I presume this is due to positive/negative being OGL terms.
This is a dropped spell from a recent Paizo twitch stream. Thought the community here might want to see and comment if they haven't already.
I'm starting to not trust RPGBot as definitive when it comes to his PF2E guides. I didn't notice it when I was looking over his 5E stuff, but he seems to be doing his ranking purely on "Does it help do damage?" and "Does it help the damage dealers do damage?" which is not a neutral space to be ranking from.
I do agree that it's good for basic insights - just be mindful of the bias and check other guides.
That does seem odd. It doesn't have to be a "console" distro like ChimeraOS, but maybe an Arch derivative like Manjaro would have been more appropriate. (I don't know many gaming-focused distros tbh)
That makes sense to me, and I had seen the part about being in staff form. I just wasn't sure if the fusion meant that you were wielding the staff even in weapon form.
Thanks!
That does make the Fused Staff feat look pretty appealing then! But for true strike I don't know if that's action efficient, since you can't Spellstrike with that spell. The actions needed for that go like this:
And I'm not sure how you fit a Spellstrike into the same turn without taking an action the previous turn to set up for it. But having a Staff of Evocation or another evocation-based staff sounds like a great idea!
I feel like there would be a speed penalty for being large and that possibly they might remove reach as a benefit of Large for those ancestries. But I have no idea how close my thoughts are to what they would do.
I wouldn't mind seeing Shattered Star or Mummy's Mask updated for PF2E/Lost Omens. They were fun when I played them years ago.
Our group uses HeroLab Online, and most of us bring laptops to the table.
I've tried a tablet before, but it's difficult to switch tasks especially when you have to do anything other than focus on the character sheet - like now, I'm manning the Kingmaker map to notate where we've been and what we've run into and I don't think I could do that effectively on a tablet.
Here are the ones I found today when I signed up on lemmy.world:
I guess it depends on what your use case might be. I have heard that Manjaro is decent for a desktop Arch experience, but I have yet to try it.
My use case recently was for a living-room PC that works like a console version of the Steam Deck. For that purpose, ChimeraOS works really well. It's an Arch-based distro that uses the Steam Deck controller-first interface and so far is handling almost everything I've thrown at it. It even has a remote admin app where you can install games from GOG or Epic (although GOG support only installs the base game at the moment, no DLC or updates) or upload console ROMs for emulation.
I would say if you go this route, get a PS4/PS5 controller. The touch space is recognized as a mouse, which removes the need to attach a mouse for those moments when you need to get into the desktop (such as formatting a secondary drive for use in Steam).
