Comments like this baffle me because I don't get how people legitimately don't go the entire range from 1 to 5 seeing *nothing* less than a success, *ever*
Are these people doing the math right? Are their GMs just overturning encounters? Do they just have the actual worst luck? #ttrpg #pathfinder2e

This is the same person.
Learning that people who have this much disdain for PF2e are absolute glazers about the most obtuse elements of 1e is like finding out the freeze peach advocate who's defending the right for someone to make questionable remarks is not so secretly a MAGAhat.

Tell me I'm wrong, I dare you.
God I'm so tired of people resenting concepts like 'terrain' and 'movement' in their grid-based tactics games.
These people secretly crave the white room while denying they do. #ttrpg #pathfinder2e #dnd

Kind of tired of pretending I don't have a seething resentment for this kind of mechanical special snowflake-ism, and that most of the players I've dealt with who want these options aren't min-maxing munchkins.
You get the same as everyone else. I take the chains off when you prove you can behave.

So I was revisiting a build I made a while ago and may potentially play for a campaign in the near future, and realised this is a good example of how to make a thematic caster while making it effective.
Here's an idea I have for a storm-themed elemental sorcerer at level 4.

Seriously, look at these abilities. Doesn't this just scream environmental storytelling?

It's always interesting how defensive people get when I point out powergaming a character in a high-cap system like 3.5/1e is no different to the GM lowering the CL of creatures in PF2e because the end result in both is making the game easier.

Had a sick day with no-one else in the house, so I decided to finish off something that's been on my to-do list for a while now.

Realised I forgot to add the action icon for Painted Refuge - here's the updated version if anyone plans on saving these for your own reference.
![Painted Refuge [Two Actions] - Feat 9
Extradimensional, Occult, Reflection
Frequency - once per day
Prerequisites - Art-Risen
Requirements - You're within 5 feet of a painted picture.
Your origin as a piece of art - possibly as a painting yourself - enables you to use a painting as a hideaway, like the spell one with stone. You meld into an adjacent painting. You can hear but not see outside this space, and creatures outside can't see or hear you. You can cast spells while within the painting, but no effects can cross it. Your Painted Refuge lasts for 10 minutes unless the painting is destroyed, which expels you and deals 10d6 damage to you. You can Dismiss the effect. You appear in a space adjacent to the painting when the effect ends.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:huwaelud6cyetek6gve27owb/bafkreihbqiaxedwbbrodsh7bewcqnwst74p2b46ccba3iuqz3qciuor57y@jpeg)

Had some inspiration for more feats to go with this.
(Painted Refuge is basically just a slightly altered Mirror Refuge, but it made too much sense to not have)

With the repeating hand crossbow being reprinted in Battlecry, I'm continuing to espouse the repeating trait is severely overvalued on those weapons and they either need lower proficiency, or given more traits

You've got to love it when feelsbad discourse reaches a point where designers have to mitigate around *checks notes* the inevitability of coming last on the DPS charts.
I'm not one of those 'participation trophies did this' people, but surely there's a point this becomes coddling squeaky wheels?
