I know you said youre burned out from doing all these guides, but thank you for doing them. Im starting a 2e game soon and your videos have been such a good resource. Thank you for doing this
@@FirstLast-wk3kc SHHHH!!! Don't interact with the moron! He's just whining because he gets attention that way! Though I now understand why Brogan uploaded the video he did today! I assume this asshat has been everywhere he could be harassing Brogan instead of just being patient and waiting for a product to be good. WotC really has changed the perspective of content with all their half-assed 5e content! I've moved on to better games though so I shouldn't dwell on what they have done and just try to make sure that I do what I can to make TTRPGs as wonderful as I know they can be!
Glad youre back. I missed your videos. Now not trying to be rude but what an update on the kickstarter i spent $200+ and have been waiting over 2 years for.
Our Boy is back to PF2 Content🙌🏼🙌🏼 So happy to see you again doing this kind of content. You really helped me getting into all this beautiful confusing RPG.
Class DCs are used by martial characters for their unique save-based mechanics (like the inventor's Explode) and for determining the effectiveness of some critical specializations. Casters were given class DCs in the remaster specifically so they can interact with critical specialization effects, as before it was muddy what would happen if, say, a Caster got a crit with a Brawling attack. The split between Class DC and Spell DC also helps with niche preservation, preventing classes with great CDC progression from being just as good at spells as those with great SDC progression. A Commander gets legendary CDCs, but because of the split will never be able to get legendary SDCs regardless of how much they invest in that Wizard archetype.
Wow, well firstly, welcome back to Pathfinder2e content creation! Secondly, at about 1 hr 1 minute 1:01:00 Uplifting Overture, you describe it as "once your legendary in Occultism ..." when its actually Performance, so its easier for the bard than what you said in the video.
I'm very glad to see you're back, your Pathfinder videos have been a big help for me with introducing myself and my mates to pathfinder and starting a Kingmaker campaign with them. 👍
Actually, for creature identification Bardic lore should be -2 dc vs using nature/arcana/religion/society. " Lore skills can also be used to identify a specific creature. Using the applicable Lore usually has an easy or very easy DC (before adjusting for rarity)." Bardic lore is a lore, generally since it isn't a specific lore I use the unspecific lore dc (-2) instead of the -5. Archives of Nethys is very helpful by giving an unspecific lore dc for every monster there.
Dude, great to see you back, but you are spewing some massive missinformation about spellshapes. You can only use 1 spellshape on a spell, because it only works if your next action is to cast a valid spell, so if your next action is a spellshape as well, the first one is lost, doesn't matter if it is a free action or not. So you cannot combine Fortissimo Composition and Call and Response.
First off most just dropping a comment for that sweet viewer engagement, and I love your vids very happy to see you back, second I think dirge of doom is the best cantrip unless you have a demoralize build in your party
WELCOME BACK! It's wonderful to see new content from you! PS: Check Bard feat L18 Deep Lore. I think the extra spells are only adeed to your repetoire and are not extra spells "per day" as you stated. So, you'd have a larger selection but still have the same limited spell slots per day. PPS: It's also worthy to mention that spells souch as Allwgro and Counter Performance are, themselves, composition spells and will likely cancel out a composition spell, such as Courageous Anthem, already in effect. The inherient cost here diminishes the usefulness of these abilities (ie: is it worth giving the barbarian an extra action this round at the expense of EVERYONE losing the effects of Courageous Anthem?)
Welcome back, friend. My first Pathfinder 2e character was a goblin bard. My favorite class. Only played the one but it was so memorable. Cant believe that was like 5 years ago now
Dude. Bruh. My man. I think I found my new favorite class in PF2E. Thank you, truly. This explanation really helped me understand how Bard works and why I will LOVE the heccc out of it!
OK, a second comment (still really excited to have you back making Pathfinder 2e content). I had watched your original Bard Deep Dive way back, but it is a lot of information. That isn't a complaint; it is what it is. Having a new Bard video to watch gave me a new opportunity to hear about some of these feats and composition spells. And I found there were some gems that I had missed. One of my (slightly guilty) pleasures is building characters out from level 1 - 20 (always assuming FA rule in effect). I would never consider myself a slave to the build if I was using it in a campaign, but planning things out can help get you what you want when you want it and seeing how or why some other things need to be delayed. So, after the video, I just built out a Halfling Aiuvarin Bard (maestro and polymath muses), taking the Medic and Rogue archetypes early and filling in some later levels with Scroll Trickster. Between the great support a Maestro Bard gets, adding in Versatile Performance from Polymath (letting me not worry about Intimidation and Deception), the extra skill increases from Rogue (which is what I took it for) and adding in Dirge of Doom when I could (level 12, would you believe?), plus a few decent damage spells, this is a character that can make any party better, bring the healing both in and out of combat, and still be fun to play. So glad you are redoing these deep dive videos for the post remaster PF2 world and liking the changes to video structure. Great job!
Some mistakes here and there, like with Deep Lore, which grants extra _spells_ rather than spell _slots_ of every rank. Hence, it should also apply to 10th rank spells - you may only have one slot, but now you know three of them! That aside, an incredible in-depth video! Good stuff.
One of my most favored combinations to build a bard: A chatty polymath gnome bard with Animal Elocutionist at lvl 1, Linguist Dedication at lvl 2, Gnome Polyglot at lvl 3 and Spot Translate at lvl 4. Not only does it boost your Society Skill from trained to expert at lvl 2, even with Int +0 you already know 12 languages at lvl 3 and can talk to all animals from lvl 1 (fluent, not only in a rudimentary way like these strange druids. Thanks Remaster!). What starts as a funny flavor can become really handy when e.g. you translate the Command spell of your sorcerer as a reaction. Also mentionable, Analyze Idiolect gives a +4 circumstance bonus for impersonating a specific person (checks AND dc), which stacks with the +4 status bonus of Illusory Disguise. With 12+ languages, you basically know all common languages. So chances are high that you know all languages the person you want to impersonate knows. I love this combination.
idk if someone else has already commented abt this, but at 37:55 w.r.t. True Hypercognition, you can’t continuously attempt Recall Knowledge actions on the same subject “until you succeed,” because once a character attempts an incredibly hard (DC+10) Recall Knowledge check (which would be the fourth attempt after three successes), or fail a Recall Knowledge check, that character “has recalled everything they know about the subject” according to page 54 of the GM Core
Welcome back! Small error though. You said Deep Lore gives you one extra spell slot per rank when it gives you spells to your *repitoire* per rank. It gives great versatility for a spontaneous caster though.
Bro, Hymn of Healing is soo good though. Sure, it requires sustaining, but put this on your frontliner or anyone who is stuck out of position and getting bullied, you are not only giving them enough Fast Healing over 4 turns to out scale the per Focus Point healing of a Paladin's Lay on Hands, but it also gives them Temporary Hit Points equal to that Fast Healing. If they are getting hit every turn and are using up all of those Temp Hit Points, that's almost like having given them Fast Healing equal to 4 times the Spell Rank. Any time I play Witch or pick up the Dedication for Witch, I pick Lesson of Life for the Life Boost Hex for a very similar reason. Sure, it doesn't give Temp Hit Points, but it still gives the same Fast Healing as seen here, but, in return, it doesn't require sustaining, which means I can actually use other Hexes while Life Boost is ticking, or just do anything else other than sustaining a spell, like, for example, True Strike -> Spell Strike.
Deep Lore adds one spell to your repertoire of each level you can cast, not a spell slot. And it does effect 10th level spells as it expands repertoire, not slots.
You're without a doubt the best and most informative Pathfinder creator on youtube, really awesome to see back Nonat! Very interested in seeing you cover Howl of the Wild!
Not sure how to express this, but I’ll try…. I am really glad to see you are doing these types of videos, however I hope you are passionate about them. ❤
Glad to see you back. And PF2e content too? Personally, I'd love this to be the start of a more versatile Nonat. PF2e and CoH are both awesome, and even outside of those, you should just be making the content you feel passionate about. True, it might not always perform well, but I can at least guarantee it'll perform more than not making content at all because you're burnt out :P
Im so glad you are back man, like year ago i found out your channel on my starting adventure with pathfinder, i spent many hours with your deep dive videos and im glad u didnt stop and still try to do videos like that. Thank u man for your job, love ya PS. i love your kinetic video, kept me alive at my job while listening to it
BRO NO WAY! I was sent this video by my GM friend for my soon-to-be character, and the first thing I spotted was that dragon fruit Drellie you have on your shelf! I'm friends with the creator, she did a lot of Florida conventions I went to!
People are just INCREDIBLY impatient! They also threw fits when things that started BEFORE 2020 ended up getting seriously delayed because most of the world was shutdown! This is one of those things that you just have to look at and say, "Yeah, sure!" and keep moving on. I know it's easier said than done but one CAN learn to do it!
Note that Hymn of healing last a total of 5 rounds. On cast it grants Fast healing and the temp hit points and the 4 rounds of sustain it does the same. So in 5 rounds it at base level it will heal for 10 not 8 and at level 3 it would be 20 hit points not 16.
An extremely good build he didn't mention is the Goth Serenader - the build is based mainly on Dirge of Doom and the Fatal Aria; your main purpose isn't so much to help your allies as to literally wreck your enemies' effectiveness. Take those feats and supplement them with Bane and other nasty spells and tidbits, and BOOM. Works particularly well if there is a Witch with Evil Eye in the team - Frightened and Sickened combined can literally turn an opponent inside out.
Eyo wb, and in such a good time. The Bard guide was super helpful. I'm still new to PF2e, and my group is doing Dual Class w/ Free Archetype. Initially I was going Air Kineticist/Rogue, though my party went all ranged, so I'm thinking of replacing Rogue with Monk, but I would love any build advice I can get
Please, please please give us any form of update on the kickstarter. I have been requesting a refund for my backer kit add ons because of the lack of updates but no response.
I really hope you recorded this a while back. That turtle neck makes you look fancy, but it has to be hot to wear. 😅 But seriously, great to have you back. Hope you got the break you needed.
Look, if I don't get at least ONE instance of the GM allowing me to be Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove, setting appropriate of course, I'm rioting. That's amazing.
