Hi, I’m Raven. I post about random nerd stuff, periodic salvos at bigots and fascists, and lots and lots of #Pathfinder and #Starfinder memes, recaps, pics, and memes. Not a swear-free zone—I’m not gratuitous with it, but when the situation calls for them, I’m not gonna shy away.

This. Is. Ridiculous, in the best way possible. You can do some wild stuff with just #Pathfinder or #Starfinder alone, but when you start crossing the streams, well... you can get up to some really cool concepts.
So anyway, the #pathfinder2e / #starfinder2e build I made is naturally Rare tagged because by default content from the other system has the Rare tag.
The premise is quoted below. Sheltering Limbs let's a khizar share their space with an ally and grants that ally and any adjacent ally partial cover.

Back in Pathfinder 1e I would sometimes see some cool single thing & try to build a good character out of it.
Recently I set out to saw the #starfinder2e khizar ancestry's Sheltering Limbs feat and set out to make a khizar that worked like a mech suit for a sniper.
I may never be the same again.

Of course, #Paizo subscription delivery day *also* meant I got this beauty in my grubby mitts. Worth it for the art alone, including this amazing cover by Miguel Regodon Harkness! #DraconicCodex

Had #RevengeOfTheRunelords volume 3 digitally for a bit, but haven’t touched it (or the first two volumes) until the physical copy today. First thing I flipped to was the stats for my absolute fave Golarion villain:

Show me a fictional character that altered your brain chemistry:
19-year-old me: “Wow, I am utterly in love with everything about this character—I’m sure this is just how it feels to be a dude with a crush on a fictional girl.”

My "Emotional Catharsis Playlist" when I need a good cry is just a bunch of different versions of "Not Alone" from Final Fantasy IX.
(Not really... but there are a *LOT* of them, and most *will* bring me to tears within seconds)

This is amazing, like a rock version of an 8-bit Mega Man's closing credits theme.
I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

So I like how eccentric the breath weapons for the new dragons in #pathfinder2e become the further away from DND they get.
"This is a red dragon it breathes fire."
"Well this is a Wish Dragon it breathes contentment then cruelly takes it away leaving you emotionally devastated"

"Well this is a Wish Dragon it breathes contentment then cruelly takes it away leaving you emotionally devastated"
![Breath of Loss [two-actions] (arcane, mental) The dragon breathes a
warm, gentle breeze of mist that creates the feeling of when
deepest desires are achieved. As the breeze dissipates,
the feeling of loss overwhelms creatures’ senses, dealing
11d6 mental damage in a 30-foot cone (DC 29 Will save).
A creature that critically fails its save is also consumed
with the memory of the moment and is stunned 1. The wish
dragon can’t use Breath of Loss again for 1d4 rounds.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6sxwjtkgrclgyaiail7x44e3/bafkreihrqbnxqqaboruz36d6ri26qyxjmiq65gfynnj5z4j5d7yqwap3na@jpeg)

Me, watching, nodding along in agreement: "Yeah, this seems logical, all makes sens..."

Me, eyes wide like I've been punched: "Oh *fuck*. That makes *way* more sense than I was prepared for."

This is an important for casters.
One important caveat is that some spells that don't have that little H are still heighten-dependent, notably Incap spells like Dizzying Colors and anything that relies on a Counteract check, like Dispel Magic. Keep those in your top 3 ranks or don't bother.

I have talked about this before both on here and on my YouTube channel but a somewhat important thing for playing a caster at higher than 5-6th level is something I call "Pacer Spells"
Your Top 3 Ranks are you most viable offensive options. Pacers are spells lower than that that "age well"

Tangentially, I now wanna make a character who justifies their Dubious Knowledge as being in a quantum superposition of both correct and incorrect. A #Starfinder Witchwarper is the obvious choice... but a #Pathfinder Thaumaturge just BS-ing it would be way funnier. (Pahtra or Amurren, *obviously*)
I named my fists "Dubious" and "Knowledge" so 25% of the time I can't tell if I actually hit?

I named my fists p and value because they are larger than you'd like.
I named my fists "Dunning" and "Kruger" because I haven't trained in any sort of martial art but am confident I would do pretty well.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost through fading glow
No one in the house was speaking, not even the mice were squeaking
From the roof there came a creaking, and a jingle in the snow
Quoth Kris Kringle, 'ho ho ho'

Tomorrow Grimes will DJ a livestream of immortality influencer Bryan Johnson tripping on shrooms to determine its effect on longevity. Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too.

This stuff is good! And I'm not just saying it because of my blatant pro-corvid bias--that skeleton gives a super cool "creepy and dangerous... but maybe not evil?" vibe, and the jester feels very "mischevious, untrustworthy, and maybe evil... but with just enough plausible deniability". Love em!

Yeah, interesting choice of metaphors. Question: How many constructions that benefit from strong floors don’t benefit as much or more from a strong ceiling? Now, of those constructions, how many of them would you want to live in?
