Sure, D&D is fine but have you heard of our lord and savior Pathfinder 2?

Trophy Cat

It’s a replacement book. It’s sort of Pathfinder 2.5 or maybe 2.1. The books with “core” in the name are the core books of the remastered PF2E rules. That’s Player Core, GM Core, Monster Core, and Player Core 2.

I just had this happen, sort of, in a completely unplanned way. The party had already met but in the course of events they asked a caravan master to recommend a tavern or inn. He thought for awhile, looked them all up and down, then said “I reckon folks like you would hang out a .”

The party’s face asked what he meant by “folks like you” and he basically said adventurous and prosperous folks.

They went to the inn and the staff and clientele (randomly generated by donjon.bin.sh) were all female, which made them think something was up. The definitely-not-a-face orc ranger tried to befriend the innkeeper and ended up accidentally scaring the crap out of her. I decided it wasn’t that he was personally frightening but that she had mistaken the party for a different, much more nefarious, band.

Based on her bowing and fawning over the party, the other folks in the inn began to stare. At that point, Mr Face decided he needed to talk to every woman in the room.

Ultimately, based on a weird sequence of crit fails and successes, they ended up with a side quest to kill a demon that been terrorizing a nearby village, assisted by two fairly stupid local mercenaries.

I hadn’t planned it but they didn’t know that until I told them to give me 5 minutes to make a new encounter map!

I’d like to see a dedicated beastmaster class where their pet does most of the damage and their main job is buffing their pet and/or debuffing its target.

I’d also like to have a real summoner who does more than just cast summon animal. It would be cool if their abilities were all summoning-based, like a 2 action ability that could summon swarms for a single round and the swarm would do a little damage plus a debuff, like blinded or sickened or whatever.

Be sure she has her very own flag and speaks a variation of common that others can barely understand.

You can’t fool me… that’s clearly not a 16th century CE cat.

Does the "M. N." stand for "Middle Name?"

PF2E has a lot of crunch, so combat slows down dramatically as character level increases.

Paizo uses words very specifically, much like lawyers. Note that in your highlighted text they use the word “abilities.” A critical hit is not an ability, it is a game mechanic. It also isn’t modifying the weapon’s inherent damage dice, just the dice rolled for one attack.

IMO, sneak attack damage should and does apply, even on a crit with this weapon.

“Now into downward-facing dog….err… cat.”

Don’t forget the Ray’s Dead spell
