War of Immortals: A Review for Pathfinder 2e
Hello Travelers & Tourists!
Recently, Paizo sent me a Review PDF of the newest book for Pathfinder 2nd Edition - War of Immortals (which is releasing next week at the end of October)! I want to say a huge thanks to Paizo for giving me this opportunity to review their new product! However, as always, all views expressed in one of my review videos are entirely my own. Paizo did not attempt to influence this review in any way.
In this video, I want to dive into what the book War of Immortals is all about - and talk about what you can expect if you pick this product up! War of Immortals covers a lot of ground: discussing the death of Gorum, the start of the eponymous War of Immortals, the event...

Hello Travelers & Tourists! Welcome back to my continuing coverage of the Starfinder 2e Playtest! Today, I wanted to take a look at spellcasting in Starfinder 2e. In Pathfinder 2e, four traditions of magic were introduced - and those traditions served as the basis for every spellcasting class' spell list. This was a strong, positive change - and Starfinder 2e will be building on the same founda...

The Anathamaru: A Remastered Oracle Build for Pathfinder 2e!
Просмотров 2722 месяца назад
Hello Travelers & Tourists! Today, I have a weird, off-the-wall build that was inspired mostly by my brain's inability to read. Back when Howl of the Wild was released, I repeatedly misread the name of the new Athamaru ancestry as the "Anathamaru" instead - a butchered mingling of the ancestry's actual name with the term "Anathema" from the Cleric & Champion classes. This naturally led me to as...

Battlezoo Ancestries: Fusions - A Free Pathfinder 2e Resource from Roll for Combat!
I was hoping that instead of "some of the content that is Game Master facing is the kind of content that players shouldn't be reading, because if they do it could kind of destroy the mystique of the game" was instead going to end "because IT WOULD OVERLOAD AND OBLITERATE THEIR FEEBLE, MORTAL MINDS". Oh well.
Would you consider this "inevitable "?
The first pathfinder character I ever played had a Nosoi familiar, years and years ago. I'm excited for the strange opportunity to play as that familiar, striking out on its own, after its boss has retired.
That honestly sounds like a lot of fun & a good way to do a call back to a previous character!
It sounds like these might be excellent options for a "Day of the Dead"-themed adventure!
I thought about making a Coco reference in this video, but then I realized you'd have to be un poco loco to run the risk of tangled up with Disney's lawyers!
I like the Android Ancestry with the exception of them having to breathe air. This makes them closer to Blade Runner type synthetic androids than machine androids since in many a SciFi movie an android is able to traverse the vacuum of space or a toxic atmosphere either to help or harm organic lifeforms. Very surprised they don't even give a feat that gives this ability. A feat for a hour of breathable air is just silly. This very much breaks the immersion of being an artificial lifeform.
I'm either giving these to my players or using them for my next character
I've been keeping an eye on these items. They would make fine twist on your typical "explosive collar" quests
This is amazing and I'd like to design a campaign somewhat around these "boons" and the team racing against the clock to purge them before they succumb, while of course having to deal with other things of importance along the way.
@@xiezhai4162 I've been contemplating a "Corrupted Wishes from an Evil Genie" style game for a while & this was the missing piece I needed.
Hi thanks for the review, if you dont mind me asking what would you put in place of an xp table with pathifinder specifically?
Vehicle or chase rules would be my personal pick. I use those a LOT at my table, so they'd get a lot more use. Granted, I realize that's a reflection of my gaming groups style.
Kitsune beastkin werebat, you say? 🤔
Really great breakdown. Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for posting! Loving the starfinder 2e content :)
Seems like a really cool setting. I feel like 90% of fantasy settings are just European and it would be really cool to try a more eastern approach for some new experiences. I really hope we get a pathfinder video game set in this region.
Really Awesome.
My limited time trying out the Playtest has already done a lot to make me love what I'm seeing in SF2e. And that's on top of already loving what I saw in 1e.
Ok, I'm over lack of new spells now that I know there are new Goblin and Kobold heritages. I love the little guys!
Some Tian Xia spells would have been so cool for some Kitsune Bard or Sorcerer builds.
Given that Paizo is moving away from what made it popular, which is dramatic heroic fantasy, I much prefer the PF1 version of Dragons Empire / Tian Xia. Today, Tian Xia is presented to us as a travel brochure, with rowing contests of smiling people and happiness. Full of whimsy and cutsie. Gone are the representations of stern samurai courageously facing the threat of a dragon, or shinobis who are about to fall on unaware adventurers. The target audience now are the Critters and Gen-Z gamers.
I would love to try a skittermander envoy
Carcinization phenomenom in biology where various crustaceans keep converging on a crab-like shape, despite not being all that closely related to actual crabs. It happens often enough that "all will become crab" became a meme.
Oops, typo. Carcinization *is a* phenomenon in biology. My bad!
@@n.l.g.6401 Thank you! I figured there was something like that that I was unaware of.
Ah the glorious magic of the masters of "Send you to Brazil" have concoction a spell so deranged no one is safe: "Send you to League of Legends" definelly will be added to the treaty of forbidden magic for its toxic potential
I do believe the word Wuxia is pronounced "woo-shah". I'm not an expert on Chinese but I know Japanese and have played enough Hoyoverse games to have heard basically every Chinese syllable pronounced a few times.
Honestly, given that skittermanders fill all the bureaucratic niches that vesks don't want to do, one can argue that it was the skittermanders who conquered the vesk.
@@hilarymoonmurphy I have said several times that THAT was only a matter of time lol
I do love your coverage of the creatures and their lore, Mark. This is excellent. ❤
The algorithm hid this from me. It's a good thing I check your channel from time to time.
@@hilarymoonmurphy I missed a few uploads lately due to a heavy irl work schedule. So, I'm probably getting pulled down because of that.
@@TheLocalDisasterTourGuide Well, boo! Your channel deserves more engagement.
@hilarymoonmurphy I made the decision to go back to school back in April. Working on my Rank 1 Teaching Certificate. I knew when I did it that it would interfere with my channel from time to time, but I also knew it was something I needed to do. I had to make the hard decision that I'd let my channel suffer in the short term, but even if it's slow for a while, I know it'll still be here, slowly developing. And I get to run Pathfinder for high school kids, so I'm still influencing the Pathfinder world!
@@TheLocalDisasterTourGuide Job security is important! I'll keep searching on your channel from time to time.
Personally I just wish this revision... remaster... whatever you want to call it had a proper name to set it apart and prevent confusion, and that this name was printed clearly on the covers of these books. "2.5 edition" sounds perfectly find to me, but if someone wants to make it a lower decimal, sure, whatever you like. "2.1 edition" still works to set it apart. The rule changes aren't as minor as some have put it, at least to me. Things like ditching alignment are unique and interesting changes to really set it apart with it's own identity even better, but not insignificant. A lot of people are calling this "2E remaster" now, and that's fair enough. That'll work to set it apart, but much like how everyone's now calling the new D&D "2024 edition", it would help a lot better if the related companies just had that distinct name printed on their books. It makes it so much easier for new players to shop for things like this without getting confused and buying the wrong edition thinking they're getting a good deal.
27:30 I would LOVE for you to do that but time is a VERY limited resource! So, if you have the time, go for it! If you don't, that's fine too. This would also encourage people who want more deep dive content to go find the creators that already do this and help grow those channels as well!
I really wanted to pick the Tian Xia books before but now I want them even more!
I have been genuinely impressed by these two books! The details are good & the big picture implications are good too! Props to Paizo for making both of these books something I really enjoyed!
18:48 ROCKET!!!!!
The borai heritage looks really fun! Love the art, too.
What do we want?! Prisma Just Prisma plushies! When do we want it?! NNNNOOOWWWWW!
Did you see the life-sized Prisma statue at GenCon? It was like a giant Prisma plushie.
@@hilarymoonmurphy I did! My group of friends got some pictures with the various character statues. The one for Prisma ignited our requests for a collectable lol
2 headed giant has 2 arms? If its considered 2 regulars player, should I approach it with "I only have 1 arm available"? So I can only wear a shield, while the other fusion member can only wear a sword?
Thank you for letting people know they can come see me about Tian Xia, good sir. I hope you've had a chance to relax and have some "me" time between covering Cons and handling such a full schedule.
I was not sure what to make of the 'we prefer to stay at home and protect the forests' ancestries, because they always make me wonder why you are adventuring. On the other hand, the misbehaving tanuki are wonderful! Chef's kiss!
YES! TANUKI ALL THE TIME!
I love this book so much! ❤ Nice to see a review from you!
Also please talk about this book in more detail!
Champions taught me how to make characters. Not just something to play but actual characters.
Great topic for a video! A couple reasonable hungers for a mummy would be "wealth" or simply acquiring more loot and treasure to keep in your tomb. Another good fit would be "revenge", with the mummy PC being compelled to curse and chase down some NPC that entered their tomb. Both fit well with typical adventurer backstories, while having a unique flavor.
Oooh. May I ask where the art for that purple skittermander with the gun and grenades came from?
@icefyer2 Pulled it off one of the Paizo Blogs. Not sure which one, but should be within the last month.
