I've kind of stopped doing RPG stuff at the moment but this piquied my interest.

Monte Cook is going to demo Invisible Sun. I'm unable to find the image dump I perused so many months ago but the art work is so weird and I love it. Spidercatipede (oh gods, the hands...) is just the tip of the iceberg.

Also, whilst I won't derail on a rant over my personal quibbles with the book, Ultimate Wilderness has an interesting section of rules for milking poisons out of animals. For example, a Witch with a greensting scorpion familiar could prep a few doses of poison from it each day, free of charge.

This is somewhat late, but funnily enough I actually thought about this independently, completely by accident.

I chose a compsognathus for my familiar, mostly because I wanted the extra Initiative and thought having a tiny dinosaur as a(n intelligent) pet would be neat. Turns out that Pathfinder compys (compies?) have a venomous bite, and since familiars are intelligent and (presumably) cooperative you can milk them without needing a bunch of ranks in Handle Animal.

The party my witch is in also has an alchemist. Shenanigans are planned.

New player is up-to-speed and actively engaged, it's so very nice having another highly experienced player at the table, I can pull out some of the stops and really get into the game and story elements.

Apparently Pathfinder 2e is in the works.

[Egan_BW]

Huh. Wonder what that will be like.

Not too different from what you currently know (this and the following questions, especially the immediately following one), assuming you're a Pathfinder user.

It sounds like they're heavily influenced by 5th ed dnd?

[Rolan7]

Heh, imagine that

[deathpunch578]

so dnd 5.5?

[Gentlefish]

That might be actually excellent for my group tbh, they're all more RP-centric than combat oriented so anything to make combat run more smoothly would be great.

[SOLDIER First]

so dnd 5.5?

[witty reply that insults dnd]

[Rolan7]

Well, DND is very crunch and mechanics heavy, and not really designed for social roleplay.
DND 5 does seem better than 3.5 in that regard, though.  Assuming your group is tied to DND, which is understandable.  We've really only done 3.5, New World of Darkness, and a few one-session experiments.

I get that, just making a dumb joke

Eagerly awaiting release of the free playtest PDFs so me and my group can give it a run. We're already planning how to adjust our current schedule to fit in the new version.

This is very true. I was considering moving to fate or something so there wouldn't be as much crunch (as more streamlined PF 1.0 was, it was still pretty crunchy for newbies)
