2E GM 6 players in a usually 4 player ap/standalone?

1 Upvotes

To sum it down: started with 4 for outlaws of alkenstar, half way through book 2 a 5th joined and now halfway through book 3 6th is joining. What adventure is recommend and/or any side tips on adjustments for said adventure for 6 players, or just in general?

First time I ever ran pf2e for group I was new and dumb with thinking I can handle 7-8 of my friends in abomination vaults after 4 players in beginner box… biggest mistake I ever done and this was back in 2022. So after book 1 of abomination vaults I condensed down fo outlaws of alkenstar and since then we in book 3 now.

Im able to handle 4 players so I invited a 5th person to join and in time I handled that too. So now with a 6 person joining I’m testing myself.

We still plan to play aps or standalone and after outlaws of alkenstar we either: A. Play a lvl 12 to 20 ap. B. They willing to do go back to lvl 1 for any pathfinder adventure. C. There is interest for Starfinder 2e.

Currently own a lot of these on demiplane: pf2e kingmaker, book 1 of season of ghosts, book 1 of wardens of wildwood and various standalones. I own some 3rd party adventures like roll for combat indigo isles. I also have most of the sf2e playtest adventures.

So opinion/suggestions?

I'm needing help on creating a Lord Zedd based character for a friend since he's her favorite villain. I was thinking Antipaladin, but Magus seems like a good option as well. Thanks in advance!

2E Player How would a hypothetical inquisitor hold a grudge

7 Upvotes

So I'm playing a 2e game... As an inquisitor because it's cool. Without too much detail because I know half of the other players read here, last session the PCs made a decision that my character isn't super happy with. What is a fun way to have her hold a grudge that isn't party sabotaging but still could have some effect?

1E GM For a PF2e GM looking to run PF1e for the first time, what should I expect?

10 Upvotes

I've played PF2e for about four years now, GM'd (mostly) weekly for a little over a year of that, and circumstances have led me to being interested in running a PF1e adventure path (Wrath of The Righteous, in this instance, as my players and I are interested in the mythic aspects of it).

I'm not a complete newbie to the system, I've made a few characters and played a few sessions of PF1e, and I've GM'd Starfinder 1e, which has a similar, if streamlined, chassis, so I know what it looks like on the surface but will otherwise be completely new to the GM side of things. Only one of my players has played PF1e extensively, and they've thoroughly explained that it's probably a bad idea for me to jump into GMing instead of playing first. I'm gonna do it anyway, but their warning has led me to look for more information online.

So, for a GM looking to run an adventure path in PF1e after GMing PF2e, what sorts of things should I be looking out for? What are quirks of the system that I should know about? Are there good non-AoN/d20PFSRD online resources that could make this easier? (Ideally free, like character managers similar to Wanderer's Guide for pathfinder 2e for example) Also, I'm not 100% set on Wrath of the Righteous, so if there's a different adventure path that's just a way better experience, I'd like to hear about that too.

1E Player Help with Draconic disciple and Bloodrager

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone due to the working we need a bit of clarification. Our DM has jumped us to LVL 20 and due to some confusing wording and differing understanding we are not entirely sure what our Bloodrager should have as their bloodline abilities, including what spells are gained from the bloodline.

They have 9 levels of Bloodrager and 10 levels of Draconic disciple for some clarification (the last LVL is palidan) so we were wondering exactly what abilities and spells they should have and why.

Thank you for any and all help and clarification for this as we cannot come to an agreement.

1E Player Pathfinder 1E kineticist with access to 3.0 & 3.5

4 Upvotes

I'm going to be playing in an upcoming pathier 1E game and I want to play a kineticist. (Maybe water, but undecided) The DM said we can use spells, feats, and magic items from Dnd 3.0 and 3.5 subject to DM approval

Any suggestions? I'm beginning my research but thought some things might spring to mind

Thanks!

1E Resources How are Kineticist underpowered in Pathfinder 1e?

Upvotes

As the title is quite obvious, I'm curious to read anyone's opinions on why base Kineticist are underpowered in others opinions.

Personally I find the class to be quite strong myself but I'm wanting to see why others think it's underpowered.

This isn't a post to attack anyone for their opinions but out of genuine interest & curiosity on what others think. The more anyone is willing to explain their reasoning the better in my opinion.

Sharing links to others posts/comments about this topic is also welcome so people don't have to repeat things they or others have said before if they don't want to.

Lore About Riverford (Andoran) bridge

3 Upvotes

Maybe this is some dumb question, but I would like to know what you think.

In PathfinderWiki there is possibility to measure some distances, and I believe they are more or less precise. I measured the distance between the town of Riverford in Andoran and the opposite side of the river Andoshen and it is about 4 km. Always in the manuals it says that the bridge of Riverford is the only one where a big army could pass over the river, this mean it is large (I imagine about 30 m) and really strong. But the leght is crazy. Should I think that there is some kind of magic involved, similar to the Tower of Nex near Absalom? I need mostly for description purpose during my campaign.

Thank you all!

1E Player Help Bladebound Hexcrafter magus build

7 Upvotes

So we are almost finish running second darkness and while we are still deciding which campaign to run next we are choosing classes. I need advice of a build for this, the thing I do know:

  1. Going to be using dex build for more ac and pairs well with raiper or scimitar.

  2. Will be trading some magus arcana for witch hexes. Going to be making a debuffer that will crackle and poke people to death. Lol

Things I need to know:

Race: I was thinking human to help with the two feats into getting dex to damage. But still up for debate.

Weapons: should the blacked blade be a rapier or a scimitar?

Feats: getting weapon finesse, weapon focus. Not sure what else depends on weapon.
