First Pathfinder Game - 3 Initial Impressions
So I ran my first Pathfinder Society game in Fantasy Grounds last night. I had alot of fun and my first impression is that the reputation Paizo has for well done adventures is well earned. We had a blast. I do have some initial thoughts as a predominatly 4e person to this point.
- 4e and PF are different. I need to make a better effort to remember the differences between 4e and PF. No such thing as a minor action, the way spells work with saves and healing were differences that I had to be corrected on.
- The 4e and PF rulesets in FG are different. I miss the 4e bells and whistles when running in FG. Biggest example? NPC's having their spells as clickable powers on their sheet. The encounter I ran had 2 bad guy caster types. Manually telling my players how they were attacking, manually rolling a die and calculating bonuses, dealing withs saves and applying effects was not as smooth as it is in the 4e ruleset. I hope the PF system continues to catch up with 4e in this repect.
- Adventure creation in PF is easier. The PF parser for entities and Paizos pdf policy mkae adventure conversion alot easier in PF. It was nice to be able to save a map and not worry about manipulating the image to get rid of secret doors and labels.
- 4e and PF are different. I need to make a better effort to remember the differences between 4e and PF. No such thing as a minor action, the way spells work with saves and healing were differences that I had to be corrected on.
