Filling in the Blanks

I went over a method you can use to “mathematically” categorize a character concept or class. However, the class pyramid isn’t limited to this use. It can be a very versatile tool if you know how to use it.

Make Love, Not Warlock

Last in our trio of pseudo-warlocks uses the Psychic class. While there’s no exact copy of eldritch blast, Psychics are the superstars of cantrips and adding bonus effects on your spells.

I CAST SWORD!

Magus is all about combining spells and martial prowess, perfect for a Blade Warlock. Their signature ability Spellstrike has you attack a foe with a weapon and unleash a spell against them all at once.

Warlock and Load

Witch has some big connections to Warlock. You get your powers from your patron, you get a more powerful familiar like Chain Warlocks, and you can get lots of spells and magic abilities like a Tome Warlock.

All’s Fair in Love and Warlock

One thing Pathfinder 2e doesn’t have an exact mirror of, unfortunately, is one of people’s 5e favorite classes: the Warlock. The good news is, every part of the class does exist in some way.

Brick by Brick

In my last post, I went over a hopefully useful tool that can help you generally figure out what sort of character fits a concept you might have based on its strengths in different areas. This time, we’re going to quickly go through each class in Pathfinder Second Edition’s Core Rulebook, Advanced Player’s Guide, Secrets of Magic, Guns & Gears, and Dark Archive.

The Trifecta

When I taught kids how to play ttrpgs and help them create characters, I would describe the system as divided into three areas: combat, magic, and skills.

Ruin Has Found You At Last

Today, rather than just going through another character conversion, I’m going to go over the aspects of Darkest Dungeon 1, some of the changes Darkest Dungeon 2 has already put out in its first version of open access, and what I’d like to see in future changes.

Looking For Heals

I like playing support characters. Healbots, however, can get boring. Nothing is worse than being reduced to a bandage-box with legs. So whenever I make a healy character, I lean hard into whatever other thing they do well.

You Vs The Gun She Tells You Not To Worry About

Guns and Gears has given us a bunch of fun new stuff to play with. Last post, I went over the new class, the Inventor. This time, in going to look at the returning class, the Gunslinger, and discussing the changes the update gave us.
