Snares are super buffed in Player Core 2! Snare Crafting, Powerful Snares, and Quick Snares are all included in the dedication. And Surprise Snare no longer lowers the DC. Snare away my friends!

Was this video before the psychic class came out? Because imaginary weapon is crazy with this class. Also, with the new rules in the remaster, it's ALOT easier to manage focus spells. It's so much harder to deplete a magus with the new rules on the refocus activity. I rarely use spell slots to spellstrike with because of how good the psychic focus spells are.

New to Pathfinder, found your channel. Great stuff so far, thanks for this hard work you put together with animation. Adds a nice flourish to your videos. 😊

Curious how the math is when using an agile weapon. Currently playing a thaum with wrestler archetype. The bonus static damage thaum gets makes up for the major issue with snagging strikes reduced damage due to 1 handed weapons though ill say im behind on accuracy vs the fighter.

Awesome video, a good friend showed me this I am glad he did!

New the channel here. New subscriber. Love the videos. Very informative, funny, and always interesting.

Now in P2e Remaster that you don't need CHA for divine font...you can put points into WIS all day long for a Cloistered Cleric.

*Laughs in Healing Bomb*

One flaw in your considerations is something I see a lot when it comes to shield blocking. You mention that you can at most only do it for 2-3 rounds but that's not always true. The shields hardness effects how much damage it takes. So any attacks to a steel shield that are 5 or less damage end up doing ZERO damage to the shield so you can block those hits indefinitely. In this battle the bugbear had a +4 modifier so there was a pretty good chance it was gonna do more than 5 damage when it hit. But it's something to keep in mind as I've seen mid game shield blocks shrug off several low damage roll attacks. I also think that Bugbear fought like a noob doing only 3 strikes. The bugbear has Bushwhack ability which gives him grab and would have then made the cleric off-guard while also increasing his average damage by 3 due to mauler. Also since cleric is grabbed he needs a DC5 Flat check or fails to cast Heal because it has manipulate. As for alternate tactics to survive. Use the action economy to your advantage. Replace Toughness with Fleet. You can now move 30ft while the Bugbear can only move 25ft. This means you can Strike once and Stride 60ft on your turn. The bugbear uses 2 stride to move 50ft and is still 10 feet away so he could use Bushwhack to close the distance and do a grab. But that is an ability unique to them as most monsters won't have an additional one action move/attack and thus would need to use a 3rd stride to get in range again thus wasting their entire turn to chase you. You also have the option to simply flee the fight all together as a full move turn is 90ft for you and 75 feet for the Bugbear. Thus on 2nd turn you could do a single Stride and then 2A Heal to recover from the opening attack ending 45 feet from the bugbear so he has to stride twice and only gets one attack. And turns after that you can take 2 actions then stride away because the bugbear only moves 25 he will always have to use 2 Stride to move back into weapon range limiting him to 1 Strike per turn. And if you need to fall back for a heal or something just spend a couple turns in a row full striding away as it will take him time to catch up. For example 2 turns of full move is 180ft for you and 150ft for bugbear. Thus he needs to stride twice next turn just to reach you and you can spend a full turn buffing/healing/etc. EDIT: LOL Just figured how to cheese the fight with fleet feat for 30 ft move. Turn 1: Bugbear Stride, Strike, Strike - Cleric Stride, Stride, Stride (90ft apart) Turn 3: Bugbear Stride, Stride, Stride (15 ft apart) - Cleric Stride, Stride, Stride (105ft apart) Turn 4: Bugbear Stride, Stride, Stride (30 ft apart) - Cleric Divine Lance, Stride (60 ft apart) Repeat following. Turn 5: Bugbear Stride, Stride, Stride (0 ft apart) - Cleric Stride, Stride, Stride (90ft apart) Turn 6: Bugbear Stride, Stride, Stride (15 ft apart) - Cleric Stride, Stride, Stride (105 ft apart) Turn 7: Bugbear Stride, Stride, Stride (30 ft apart) - Cleric Divine Lance, Stride (60 ft apart) The bugbear can't catch up to hit you and you just lance him every once in a while when the distance is great enough that he can't close the distance while you cast. If you go Elf or Half-Elf and get Nimble Elf for an additional 5 feet movement you could have 35ft speed at later levels. Plus there is Rank 2 spell that gives +10 status bonus to speed and item that gives +5 item bonus to speed around level 7. So you could 50ft speed on a character early-mid game to where a double stride is further than the enemy can move in full turn.

Great break down. I've seen this percent change come up multiple times in forums and always just roll my eyes. Cause got people arguing that if you hit on a 2 then you are increasing your chance to hit by 50% so boosting it when you are extremely low is even more important. Which the correct math, as shown in this video, does not support that conclusion. The problem is people just taken numbers and do math on them without it actually being meaningful information. It's the old Correlation is not causation. People run the numbers and find a correlation then assume that implies some sort of cause that isn't really there. Like thinking the correlation of percent change has a causal relation to the average damage outcome.

kineticist with acrobat staff and the feat that lets you turn you blasts into polearms at first level.

Beloved Mr. Crunch McDabbles, where are you? We miss your videos! <3

You have a new subscriber, sir. Well done.

you could still just get the armor and weapons feats for the caster cleric. dwarf clerics

I have become very interested into Thaumaturges, what is your perspective on them? Would love to see your breakdown

Sooo... Can you always have your aura going out of combat? Does it have an effect on stealth? Air has "Clear as Air" which would seem to imply it does, but I can't find any rules...

Been playing Investigator/Eldritch archer and it's a pretty stunning combination. The high degree of action and resource investment in Eldritch Shot is mitigated by knowing the outcome in advance, meaning every shot taken hits and hits big, and turns with low Stratagem rolls can be spent any other way. It's a really great feeling to see your Statagem and go, "Oh yes, I know exactly what I'm doing this round," and with full confidence blow up whatever's causing trouble.

Why I love pathfinder2e GM: you enter a creepy cave. What’s your exploration activity? Me: I start with my shield raised as I peek over edge… with resulting shield block to reduce first big swing

Love the video, instant subscribe 🤩

The problem is righteous might is a battle form does not allow you to cast spells.

That unkillable build is bullshit. I love it.

as the biggest kineticist fan ever, I have immediately inserted a character I have into this scenario Single gate Earth kin dwarf with unburdened iron (not that movement matters in this scenario), +4 CON, +3 STR, 22 HP base So with Armor in Earth online it's 18 base AC, going to 19 with Impulse junction on basically every turn, and resistance 1 to slashing damage - exactly what bastard sword does I can't replicate the calculation exactly, but yeah, I already see there's no chance... it'd go 2 action blast (+7 to hit, 10 below AC, 1d8+4+3 damage) and chug a potion to survive the next round maybe... Crap, that looked a lot stronger in my head 😂 seems like blasting at range and hoping for a crit is a better idea

Ok, ok, I'm taking armor proficiency. You got me. That's the best selling pitch I've seen, ever

This is a really good video

dont forget the agonize anscestry feat from hobgoblin. adding some damage to your demoralize is nice

i wonder if Kinet could pull this off making use of something like the free movement from air junction

Now do a flurry ranger vs a 2 weapon fighter (the class, not the archetype)

Get a chain mail with an armored skirt for a total of 8gp. You'll be weighed down and take the armor check penalties, but you'll be alive!

Damn I still don't really get how to play this class. Seems like most of it is mediocre or worse and you gotta really know your stuff to squeeze huge value. I mean I am in my first pf2 campaign and am starting to make back up characters just in case, maybe psychic is off the list.

So basically, a great pick is better at lower AC creatures, but a greatsword is better against high AC creatures.

I always go for an increasing chance to crit. During Boss fights, the cleric may not be able to crit on a 19 even with a +1.

I'd love to see more of these solo character vs monster scenarios. Maybe a Sorcerer next time?

Loved the video, but mean average calculations like this don't really mean much to me so I coded some simulations mimicing your 4 different scenarios (so no defend exploration action ect. and sticking with bugbear automatically going first) and ran them 1 million times each. ~730 lines of code later and heres the results: Scenario 1 - the Cleric Powerzone!: ~12% chance to win. Scenario 2 - Runic weapon + heal into Powerzone!: ~10% chance to win. Scenario 3 - Runic weapon + shield into Powerzone!: ~36% chance to win. Scenario 4 - Heavy Armour, Runic, Shield Powerzone!: ~46% Chance to win.

My favorite RUclipsr by far - CRUNCH McDAABBBLES!

What is the song that plays at the end (21:06)?

The way I found around this 1gp it's going for the Club simple weapon. It's 0gp, and if you worship the right god the damage dice is increased to d8 by the Deadly Simplicity feat

Using the average damages makes this situation seem much less hopeless for the cleric than it actually is. If the bugbear ever critically hits or hits two times in a row normally, there is a very high probability that the cleric goes unconscious and the fight is over. I'm pretty sure that his chances of surviving the encounter are less than 10%. I could actually do the math, but that's a bit complicated...

The best pathfinder tutorial I’ve ever seen. Truly amazing. Great work.

I was thinking you could do something with the Fleet feat. 2 action heal and a 1 action move means the Bugbear can only make 1 attack in round 2. Then 2 action spell to enchant your weapon and a 1 action move once again means the bugbear can only attack you once.

Healing is just positive energy which helps distinguish it from vitality damage. Positive energy never actually hurt the undead, because it wasn't positive damage so they changed the names to make it more obvious that they are different things.

Warpriests also get deadly simplicity feat, so picking a deity with cheap 1d6 simple weapon like club or spear should be equivalent to a longsword?

ya but i think you only have 4 heals at first lvl.

I did have one thought, how does 2a Heal + raise shield round 1 effect anything? Does it make it possible without heavy armor?

That dude has to be an extra / stand in. He is much too sexy to be McDabbles.

Rather fascinating that a single level 1 character can survive what's effectively a Extreme++ encounter.

*Loans 1gp to my fellow Cleric.* Go teach that bugbear a lesson!

Starting with the defend exploration action to have your shield raised prior to combat would have helped out a lot with how close some of the math is on some of these.

Such good content. Ty ty

i’m playing a laughing shadow magus in a campaign that’s been going for a while but i just joined- last session, my character was dueling another player character and on round 2 she made her first attack with a spell strike, crit, and did 104 damage, instantly knocking the other player to 0 HP. it was fun!

Co-Bald. :)
