BRO I WAS LITERALLY LOOKING FOR A GUIDE FOR BARD! He returned when I needed him most...

[pakman]

I know you said youre burned out from doing all these guides, but thank you for doing them. Im starting a 2e game soon and your videos have been such a good resource. Thank you for doing this

[eternalsleepyboyvibes]

Man, this hit more like a sneak attack than a courageous anthem. Congrats on the return!

[FirstLast-wkkc]

Oh, my gosh i thought you wouldn't come back in at least half a year later!

Wow, Brogan, you've outdone yourself.
Love you dearly

[Lcirex]

Glad to see you back in the PF2 sphere we missed you!

[dustinmiller]

Glad youre back. I missed your videos. Now not trying to be rude but what an update on the kickstarter i spent $200+ and have been waiting over 2 years for.

I feel like I'm looking towards the hill at Helm's Deep and seeing the rising of the dawn with Gandalf at its crest

Our Boy is back to PF2 Content🙌🏼🙌🏼

So happy to see you again doing this kind of content. You really helped me getting into all this beautiful confusing RPG.

[Tersia]

Wow, well firstly, welcome back to Pathfinder2e content creation!

Secondly, at about 1 hr 1 minute 1:01:00 Uplifting Overture, you describe it as "once your legendary in Occultism ..." when its actually Performance, so its easier for the bard than what you said in the video.

[RuneGuld]

Dude, great to see you back, but you are spewing some massive missinformation about spellshapes. You can only use 1 spellshape on a spell, because it only works if your next action is to cast a valid spell, so if your next action is a spellshape as well, the first one is lost, doesn't matter if it is a free action or not. So you cannot combine Fortissimo Composition and Call and Response.

[officialgoosestudios]

Thank you for all of your content nonat1! You're the reason i got into pathfinder and city of heroes, i hope you're feeling better!

[shonZ]

I'm so glad you're back, both to pathfinder and in general.

[challst]

Love the return of 2E content! Glad you have been recharged.

Actually, for creature identification Bardic lore should be -2 dc vs using " Lore skills can also be used to identify a specific creature. Using the applicable Lore usually has an easy or very easy DC (before adjusting for rarity)." Bardic lore is a lore, generally since it isn't a specific lore I use the unspecific lore dc (-2) instead of the -5. Archives of Nethys is very helpful by giving an unspecific lore dc for every monster there.

[mikaelious]

Some mistakes here and there, like with Deep Lore, which grants extra _spells_ rather than spell _slots_ of every rank. Hence, it should also apply to 10th rank spells - you may only have one slot, but now you know three of them!

That aside, an incredible in-depth video! Good stuff.

[philopharynx]

Woo Hoo, he returns from the Abyss. Nonat the Maroon?

[NuclearPoweredGinger]

Class DCs are used by martial characters for their unique save-based mechanics (like the inventor's Explode) and for determining the effectiveness of some critical specializations. Casters were given class DCs in the remaster specifically so they can interact with critical specialization effects, as before it was muddy what would happen if, say, a Caster got a crit with a Brawling attack.

The split between Class DC and Spell DC also helps with niche preservation, preventing classes with great CDC progression from being just as good at spells as those with great SDC progression. A Commander gets legendary CDCs, but because of the split will never be able to get legendary SDCs regardless of how much they invest in that Wizard archetype.

First off most just dropping a comment for that sweet viewer engagement, and I love your vids very happy to see you back, second I think dirge of doom is the best cantrip unless you have a demoralize build in your party

[dylanmason]

Glad to have you back, Mate.
Total longshot, but any chance you'll ever cover Tieflings and/or Aasimar?

[Evendur]

Nice to see PF2e videos are back! But what happened to the City of Heroes videos?
