Rings of Shared Rhythm, Item 6
invested, magical
usage: worn, bulk: -, price: 270 gp
These diamond rings are sold in pairs, and have musical notation etched along their sides. While wearing one of these rigns, you can attune it to a one-handed weapon. The attuned weapon gains either the disarm, grapple, shove, or trip trait (you choose when attuning the weapon, and must re-invest the ring to change this trait).
Activation - Metronome Strikes, two actions (concentrate); frequency: once per day; effect: You sync your movements with the wearer of the other invested ring. For 1 minute, each of you treats your attuned weapon as having the other's added trait, as well as the twin trait. These weapons don't need to be the same type, and Strikes with them gain the benefits of the twin trait even if they aren't made in the same turn, as long as they're made in the same round of combat.

I haven't touched this in a while but I do want to come back to it eventually. Any #EldenRing and/or #Pathfinder2e folks have opinions on this?

Ashes of War
Among the arsenal of weapons and armors afforded to the would-be Elden Lord are unique items called Ashes of War. These Ashes function like weapon talismans, but are permanent items that can be used repeatedly. They have the Ash of War trait.
Some Ashes of War offer affinities to the attached weapon, changing the weapon's damage type or passively modifying its properties (such as adding to or replacing its weapon traits). Ashes with an affinity that is an energy type can change the weapon's damage to that damage type, or they can impart their effect without changing the damage (you choose when affixing the Ash, and you must re-affix the Ash to change this). Each affinity has a critical specialization effect. When you score a critical hit using a weapon with an affinity and get it's critical specialization effect, you can choose to activate that affinity's critical specialization effect instead. Each Ash of War will list which affinities it can give a weapon, from among the following types:

Text:
Blood: The target takes bleed damage equal to the number of weapon damage dice.
Cold: The target's speeds are reduced by 10-feet.
Electricity: The target is stunned 1.
Fire: The target takes persistent fire damage equal to the number of weapon damage dice.
Heavy If your Strength modifier is at least +3, the target takes additional damage equal to the number of weapon damage dice. Apply this extra damage before doubling.
Keen: If your Dexterity modifier is at least +3, the target takes additional damage equal to the number of weapon damage dice. Apply this extra damage before doubling.

Text:
Magic: If the target of this Strike is under the effects of any spells or ongoing magical effects, you attempt to disrupt them. Choose one such effect and make a counteract check against it. The bonus to this check is your attack bonus with this weapon, and your counteract rank is half the weapon's level (rounded up).
Occult: If the target has a weakness to any precious materials, that weakness is triggered. If this attack would already trigger that weakness, it applies twice.
Poison: The target takes persistent poison damage equal to the number of weapon damage dice.
Quality: If your Strength and Dexterity modifiers are both at least +3, the target takes additional damage equal to double the number of weapon damage dice. Apply this extra damage before doubling.
Sacred: If the target has a weakness to holy or unholy damage, you trigger that weakness. If this attack would already trigger that weakness, it applies twice.

Text:
Lion's Claw
Item 5
Traits: Ash of War, Magical
Price: none
Usage: affixed to an axe, a flail without the finesse trait, a hammer, or a sword that deals slashing damage
Bulk: none
Affinities: heavy
Activate: two actions (concentrate)
When you activate this Ash, attempt a High Jump or Long Jump with a +1 status bonus to your Athletics check. At the end of this movement, make a melee Strike against a target within your reach. If you critically succeeded your check to Leap, the target is off-guard against this attack. If the Strike hits, the target must succeed a Fortitude save against the higher of your class or spell DC or be knocked prone.

It's been a minute, but the time is almost here! @veronicalovedoll.bsky.social is hosting the finale of Tales of Bone and Ice on twitch next Sunday, Dec. 8th. Season 3's short enough you could marathon it in the week to come (which I will) so get caught up and come see how it all ends!

Divine one, you are my temple, my hallowed sanctuary.
My caressing hands beseach you in prayer.
My lips venerate you as my tongue writes sacred scriptures upon your celestial skin.
With my bountiful offering I enter your gates, spilling my soul deep within your hallowed chambers.

A follower of Erastil. He's a halfling in simple farmer's clothing, wearing fingerless gloves, a pinkish jerkin, and wraps on his legs. He's holding a rake in one hand and wearing a gold pendant with Erastil's religious symbol. He has tawny skin and a thick, graying black beard, and hairy feet.

28. I like Pathfinder's art direction. Not a mechanical facet, but like, so much can be learned from the way people are represented in the images that accompany the lore.
For example, the Asmodean depicted in Divine mysteries has a very slick, modern look, probably because they live in a very (1/2)

I've been making a series of #Vtuber gods for #Pathfinder2e, mostly encompassing folks I know or who've asked for it. Need to do a lot of updating for the new format coming in Divine Mysteries, but I started with my own. Feel free to worship me (with GM permission). ✌😉

15. Hell yes I have! I made the original centaur ancestry (recently remastered here: drive.google.com/file/d/1Fleb...) and have made a number of items, archetypes, heritages, deities, etc. Por ejamplo:

A collection of weapons from Vek's Bloodborne Supplement for Pathfinder 2e

A Call Beyond
Item 11
Usage held in 2 hands; Bulk L; Price 1,200 gp
One of the secret rites of the Choir. Long ago, the Healing Church used phantasms to reach a lofty plane of darkness, but failed to make contact with the outer reaches of the cosmos. The rite failed to achieve its intended purpose, but instead created a small exploding star, now a powerful part of the Choir's arsenal. At times, failure is the mother of invention.
Activate—Rain of Stars (concentrate, manipulate); Frequency Once per hour; Effect You hold the phantasm high overhead and cry out to the inky abyss of the cosmos, calling down a hail of stars in a 10-foot emanation around yourself. Creatures in the area must succeed a basic Reflex save (DC 29) or take 10d6 fire damage.
Heightened (+1) The damage increases by 2d6.

Warrior Doll Poppet heritage (rare)
You're one of the warrior dolls of Calyx Imperia, a clockwork mercenary never intended to have true life. Instead of Small, your size is Medium, and you gain 10 Hit Points from your ancestry instead of 6.

While most poppets are made of stuffing, cloth, or soft metals, warrior dolls are made of other materials, changing the poppet weakness to fire. If your body is primarily wood, you have the normal poppet weakness to fire. If your body is primarily metal, you’re instead weak to electricity; if it's primarily ceramic, you’re instead weak to cold.

Tetrácheiros
Requirements: Warrior Doll Poppet heritage
You have four arms, which allows you to wield and hold up to four hands’ worth of weapons and equipment. At any time, one pair of hands is designated as your active hands. You can change this designation from one pair of hands to another by taking the Switch Active Hands action, which is a single action. You can only perform actions with your active hands.
For more information on playing characters with more than two hands, see Chapter 6 of the Starfinder 2e Playtest Rulebook.

Playing a cleric at the druid's wedding. The tie was my idea, the "drunk monk" aesthetic was hers.
