Was at the San Francisco Public Library with da hubs, checking out DVDs/CDs, and on our way out saw a flyer for IIRC “Celluloid San Francisco” a presentation by the author of a new book about movies made here.
We figured “Why Not?” Walked in and was entertained for about an hour by a very personable speaker and tons of SF film facts!
Then they unexpectedly ushered the lot of us across the hall to a catered buffet lunch, meet and greet, and book signing (none of which was mentioned on the flyer).
We also went in slightly less higher than god…
So we proceeded to stuff our faces from a delicious buffet, chat up the author and thank him for an amazing presentation, and then left around 2:30 not having paid a penny for anything.

However I’m very happy to inform you that I’m living a carefully considered and crafted life that I truly enjoy, and wouldn’t change a thing about it. So just mark me down as a ‘Happy Nomad’ and we’re all set! Oh, no thank you. Please save your paperwork / handouts for someone that truly needs your help. Thank you again for stopping by…”
Acknowledged their time, update their records, refuse to waste paper, and show them the door with thank you.

I read that last election he started campaigning the day after he lost. He’ll do the same thing this time just to keep the grift going.
Plus he’s had how many delays handed to him because he’s a political candidate? He’ll probably pass away as a political candidate just to keep those two things in his grasp.

Etiquette expects that when you do a nice thing for someone you gain nothing more than a “Thank you” in return.
You can’t do “Pay-it-forward” as that places a burden on the recipient and your ‘gift given freely’ then becomes a task to them. Which is no gift at all!

She stated that since someone on Truth Social posted an AI-generated image of her endorsing Trump she felt she must set the record straight.
She wrote why she’s voting for Kamala. She then encouraged her fans to research the candidates and decide for themselves which one best represented their own viewpoints.
I did like her reminder that if you’re a new voter you do need to register first!
But at no point did she tell anyone who to vote for…

I’ve an M1 Mac Studio with Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, AirPod and AirPod Pro, switching between APods whilst gaming, and they all work flawlessly.
It sounds like the keyboard or mouse is the issue. Since when they’re disconnected the problem is resolved.
Next time it happens try removing one of them, test the audio, and if the problem is resolved that’s the device messing up Bluetooth.

My divorced mom was a big fan of TOS, so much so that I was almost named Kirk.
Being divorced w/ 3 kids the TV was a pretty good babysitter. Something to keep us distracted while she did cooked and cleaned.
I’ve seen every episode of TOS at least 20 times, over the years, so remembering the first one is impossible. However as a kid my favorite one was the one with Gorn!

It’s that t-229 can have its nucleus excited using far less energy than regular atomic clock nuclei.
That leads to ultra precise excitation using wavelengths that cancel out some of the fundamental forces within the atom.
That leads to us being able to monitor at a trillion to one ratio those forces based, in part, on mathematical ‘constants.’ In the excited state we can measure if there’s even the smallest variance in force, which in turn may mean that some ‘constants,’ aren’t.
However the real testing of that is in the future as they estimate that a 10 trillion to one ratio is needed.
Theory described a door, research defined the door and possibly what’s behind it, and experimentation just opened the door.

Good morning everybody! I have a cheap 4-port USB-A hub connected to my Mac Studio, and after many issues where my computer won't wake up and then won't find the external boot drive, I've figured out that it's the USB hub! Since it's USB-A it need not be fancy, or powered, etc., I just need it to not crash my computer. What do you use? Do you have any issues? Would you "recommend it to a friend"? Thank in advance!

To save time running a game I thought it might be handy to have a pre-generated list of die rolls to use during encounters. A spreadsheet like Excel seems to be an ideal place to do this, but my knowledge of this type of app is sorely lacking in just how to do this.
Please note the PFS tag. This needs to be a Rules As Written (RAW) discussion. When a Druid uses [Wild Shape](https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=481) they're using [Polymorph](https://2e.aonprd.com/Traits.aspx?ID=127) to change, let's say into an [Animal Form](https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=10) as an example. First off Mark Seifter has previously confirmed in a [How It's Played interview](https://youtu.be/0GI7DSKmNWs) that you can use [Handwraps of Mighty Blows](https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=441) to determine (from Wild Shape), "If your unarmed attack bonus is higher, you can use it instead." (With the caveat that it can't be the same, but must be at least 1 point higher than the battle form's attack modifier.) The Polymorph traits states, "If you take on a battle form with a polymorph spell, **the special statistics can be adjusted only by circumstance bonuses, status bonuses, and penalties**. […] Your gear is absorbed into you; **the constant abilities of your gear still function, but you can't activate any items**." (Emphasis is mine.) Please take a moment to look at Animal Form and note what's covered under "statistics" (the first bullet list), and what's listed under "specific abilities" (the second bullet list). So that seems very clear that even if Handwraps allows you to use your unarmed attack bonus, its *Item Bonus* won't apply. But I have a few questions about other things: - What about feats, like Fleet (+5 to your base speed)? - What about Runes, like Striking or Crushing? - What about magic items, like Goggle of Night (which grant the sense Darkvision)? (And remembering that magic items change size to fit the wearer.) - (Plus things I'm sure I've not considered, so please mention them if applicable!) To me it seems that: - The "statistics" mentioned: AC, Temp. HP, Senses, Listed Strikes*, and Athletics* (*Both have a specifically mentioned override if your own is higher) **cannot be changed** unless it's by a Circumstance and/or Status Bonus, or a Penalty, since these are specifically called out. But, - The "specific abilities" mentioned: Speed, Strikes, Damage **can be changed** since these are not specifically called out. Does that sound right? I just rebuild a 5th level character as a Wild Shape Druid and woo boy this stuff is a lot to wrap your head around. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience and insight on this matter! **2023-08-27 Update:** I've found a Paizo forum post by Michael Sayre (Design Manager) about how to handle Battle Forms ([https://paizo.com/threads/rzs43e5b?About-official-clarifications-erratas-and-FAQS#44](https://paizo.com/threads/rzs43e5b?About-official-clarifications-erratas-and-FAQS#44)): "Battle forms? Is the number you're looking at granted to you by the spell? Then it can only be affected by circumstance bonuses, status bonuses, and penalties. It doesn't matter what the thing you're trying to add is, only that it's not one of those things. Is it a number you got from somewhere else, like your normal AC or attack modifier? Then it can be affected by the things that normally affect those statistics, including item bonuses from handwraps of mighty blows and whatever other effects you have that normally change that number or are called out in the effect that let you take on the form. Half the confusion on this front is specifically because Mark gave an "unofficial" answer outside of the FAQ and errata process that ended up being thrown around to muddy the waters, which is exactly why official answers like that are kept to FAQ and errata releases by policy." So that clears up a lot of the questions I had about Battle Forms, and u/Spuddaccino@reddthat.com was correct in that everything listed is a "special statistic" as far as what can be changed. However the thing you need to ask your GM about is anything (like a Fire Rune) that adds "additional damage" as that's not an official game term.
If you do an internet search for "Flem" you get: --- Did you mean: ***phlegm*** Listen to pronunciation. (flem) A more than normal amount of thick mucus made by the cells lining the upper airways and lungs. A buildup of phlegm may be caused by infection, irritation, or chronic lung disease, and can cause discomfort in the chest and coughing. Also: ***phlegmy*** n. 1. Thick, sticky, stringy mucus secreted by the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, as during a cold or other respiratory infection. 2. One of the four humors of ancient and medieval physiology, thought to cause sluggishness, apathy, and evenness of temper. --- So while the idea of this app sounds amazing you may be looking at a Brand Name problem due to undesired association with the above. (I'd never heard of #2 above, but that's a hard ask of people to associate your app/work with such an obscure reference instead of the common one.) Note that "Wefwef" was rebranded as "Voyager" due to community feedback on "wefwef" being nonsensical. Turns out the dev. named it that initially because that's what his hand typed out on the keyboard since he really didn't have a name prepared.
I just downloaded one and, unless I'm missing something, the file is missing the usual, "Permission to print for personal use…." text. Perhaps Paizo has a standard statement somewhere else that these can be printed? Without the ability to print these I'm unsure, outside of VTTs…*maybe*, what their use is for GMs. I purchased one to try out, and was planning on having it printed on a large-format printer at Kinko's. However without that statement/release I can't see any commercial provider touching these for printing.
Just what the title says.
Bite, claw, tail are all unarmed attack options. I’m just not sure if the damage can be increased with runes. Maybe tattoos? Thinking about a shield fighter + unarmed attacks (prolly bite since it can start at d8 w/ feat). Advice? Thanks!

I can still post and reply, so this is just a point of curiosity.
Of course it seems like Wizard with an Illusion school speciality is the way to go, but with the upcoming Remaster changes removing those schools I thought I’d ask you find folks. Plus I’ve only been playing since Feb. 2023 so I don’t really know the classes all that well. Perhaps there’s a ‘hidden gem’ in there I’m unaware would make an excellent Illusionist. EDIT: I’ve checked AoN and it seems that the Occult tradition gets all of the Illusion school spells, plus a few more that Arcane does not!

The web-based app doesn’t seem to be able to use the base traits like “Martial” or “Sword” etc., that aren’t actually a ‘trait box’ within the program. So trying to create a Barbarian Rage custom buff is turning out to be harder than I thought. (I really don’t want to add every applicable ‘trait box’ to the buff.) Anyone know of such a list, or code to use? Or has anyone found a workaround? Thanks in advance!
Because of the nature of Lemmy to post stuff (“seeds”) that “grow” into vibrant discussions.
Just finished a PFS game and my PC is Enfeebled 2. How do I get rid of this before my next session? Thank you!
Had the idea for PFS to create PB2E pre-gens and share them. According to Pathbuilder the JSON for "Valeros 3rd Level" is 182027. Can someone with PB2E try and access this pre-gen using that number please? Thanks!
In the Pathfinder Society I'd like to create a Fighter (using Pathbuilder 2E) that's good at grappling creatures. But there seems to be so many ways of doing this. It seems like taking Monk/Wrestler as a L2 Archetype Dedication would be advantageous, but since I've never played a pure Fighter I'm not sure if their feats would accomplish the same thing without the overhead. (It's PFS so no Free Archetype.) I want a character that does good to great, consistent damage (hence Fighter as base class), with the ability to pin down a tough opponent to make them flat-footed, so others can land hits easier.
*Boy I hope I'm using those terms correctly…* Hi everybody! Brand new here and whilst searching "All" I only found 2 Communities related to Pathfinder 2E. This one and "Pathfinder2e@lemmy.ml". Is that all of them?
