PFRPG2: Feedback from our group
Hello,
I just bought the PF2 ruleset and we started using it in combination with the "Age of Ashes" AP. I cannot read through all posts here, so I just post a quick list of obstacles we encounter along the way. I assume that some of these are not even possible in FG, but cannot say for sure.
Yesterday we created characters and did a quick test combat:
- Weapon proficiency is not applied automatically when weapons are added to the inventory. Instead you have to click into the details of every single weapon and apply them manually.
- Even though all characters have reach on the map, flat-footed is not automatically applied when a character is flanked.
- The spell "Telekinetic Projectile" does not provide means to roll for damage. We worked around this by adding ammunition to the inventory and manually added damage for that.
- The aura spells "Inspire Courage" is not automatically applied around the casting character. In fact we still have to find a practical way to apply this to anyone inside the aura without manually modifying every roll or changing "Misc" fields on character sheets.
- The Longbow trait "Volley" (-2 to attack) is not automatically applied when targets are within the volley range.
- Minor cover from creatures/characters standing in the line of ranged attacks is not automatically applies.
- When the Golarion calendar is used there does not seem to be a way to make the whole party rest overnight and have the date advance automatically.
- There does not seem to be (an obvious) way to handle 2nd and 3rd attacks of NPC enemies, neither via Combat Tracker nor via their NPC sheet. This is solved very nicely on PC character sheets, though.
Thanks and regards.
