We enter into an investigation as we try to gain enough knowledge to not only know what to do, but convince the powers that be that we should be allowed to act.

Say hello to Gildelorn, a city of opportunity, hopes, dreams, and (currently) an epic Dragon fight. On account of their bosses being occupied with that, the party runs into each other on a rare day off.

We finish searching the glass shop where we chased an enemy and found several more. From there we return to the Sinner's Suite and start gathering information. Turns out, there's some more problems we'll have to deal with.Get more great MNmaxed and PF2E content on our YouTubeTalk to us and other MNmaxed listeners in DiscordTo support MNmaxed, check out our PatreonAdditional audio is provided by TabletopAudio.comSupport the show

This episode is sponsored by DungeonFlow. Build epic dungeons in minutes with Dungeon Flow—no signup, no stress. Start now at DungeonFlow.app! In a sweeping odyssey from futuristic drone deliveries to ancient alcoholic beverages to gummy bear supremacy, the hosts embark on a chaotically charming journey. Along the way, they sprinkle in heroic (and sometimes tragic) roleplaying stories, before dive-bombing into the real main course: Pathfinder 2's Player Core 2 classes. From the Alchemist's "rocket science with acid" vibes to the Monk's "please read an entire pamphlet before punching" complexity, the crew hilariously (and honestly) rates which classes are gifts to new players... and which ones are straight-up hazing rituals. Spoiler: not every hero's journey starts with a Sorcerer, but it probably should. As always, this episode blends equal parts insight, sarcasm, and food-related fistfights to deliver pure, chaotic nerd energy. Player Core 2 (affiliate link) Key Takeaways: The Warm-Up Act: Technology and Booze The future is now, and it's filled with drones dropping off your liquor faster than your wizard drops concentration. Cultural drinks come with rich histories... and even richer hangovers. Drinking at the game table: historically accurate, questionably advisable. Gummy bears vs. chocolate: the ultimate alignment chart debate. Historical booze trivia > your high school history class. The Main Event: Pathfinder 2 Player Core 2 Class Gauntlet Alchemist The Alchemist is like chemistry homework... if your homework occasionally exploded. Verdict: Absolutely NOT beginner-friendly unless you really miss high school science fairs. Barbarian Smash good. Rules a little complicated. Smash anyway. Verdict: Good for new players who want to punch first and ask questions during the next rest. Champion Best AC progression in the game and still somehow has time to lecture you about morality. Verdict: A solid, shiny choice for beginners who like shields and judging people. Investigator You're playing Sherlock Holmes, but whether you're "BBC Sherlock" or "Muppets Sherlock" depends on your DM. Verdict: Great if your campaign actually cares about mysteries; confusing if it's mostly dungeon crawls. Monk "Simple" is not a word monks recognize unless you tattoo it onto your fist stance. Verdict: Skip for first-timers unless you enjoy flowcharts and stretching. Oracle Gain cosmic power...and a cosmic rash called a Curse. Verdict: Risky but spicy. Probably better once you know what the heck you're doing. Sorcerer Spells for days, minimal homework. Except for that "spontaneous casting" trapdoor. Verdict: Excellent for beginners who want to sling magic without feeling like they're filing taxes. Swashbuckler Fun, flashy, mechanically messy unless you really understand panache (and who among us truly does?). Verdict: Cool if you want to be stylish. Tricky if you think style points are automatic. Bonus Wisdom Orange means “good luck, you're on your own” on the RPGBOT rating scale. The Swashbuckler remaster fixes some major faceplants, but you still have to do homework. Action economy is the silent killer of joy — and most Swashbuckler builds. Automation (for Investigators) is your friend. Be the nerd who builds a database. Closing Thoughts: Picking the right class makes your first Pathfinder 2 game a dream instead of a slow descent into existential dread. Engaging with content creators (via likes, reviews, and ritual blood oaths) keeps the community alive. Food metaphors are the only way to survive complex TTRPG mechanics.

Oh no, that is too many choices! How will anyone ever possibly pick a class for their first Pathfinder character? The RPGBOT.podcast team takes a look at the classes in Pathfinder 2e's Player Core 1 and discusses which classes are and aren't good choices for new players. Will Fighter fit? Cleric is certainly correct. But is Bard better? Can we come up with other alliteration for the classes? Apparently not!

On this remastered Upcasting Spells episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast), the hosts delve into the mechanics and strategic applications of casting spells at higher levels in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (DnD 5e) and Pathfinder 2nd Edition (PF2e). Understanding upcasting is essential for spellcasters aiming to maximize their effectiveness in various scenarios. Episode Highlights: Definition and Importance of Upcasting: The hosts explain that upcasting involves casting a spell using a higher-level spell slot than its base level, enhancing its effects. This mechanic allows spellcasters to adapt their magic to meet the demands of different combat and role-playing situations. Upcasting in DnD 5e: Damage Spells: Many damage-dealing spells, such as Inflict Wounds, gain additional damage dice when upcast, making them more potent against formidable foes. Healing Spells: Spells like Cure Wounds restore more hit points when cast with higher-level slots, providing crucial support during challenging encounters. Utility Spells: Certain spells, including Hold Person, can target more creatures when upcast, offering greater control over the battlefield. Upcasting in PF2e: Flexible Spellcasting: Unlike DnD 5e, PF2e allows spontaneous casters to cast spells at higher levels without prior preparation, offering adaptability in various situations. Signature Spells: Spontaneous casters can designate specific spells as signature spells, enabling them to cast these spells at any available spell level without needing to learn multiple versions. Scaling Effects: Many spells in PF2e, such as Heal, scale effectively with higher-level casting, maintaining their relevance throughout a character's progression. Strategic Considerations: Resource Management: The hosts discuss the importance of balancing the use of higher-level spell slots for upcasting against reserving them for high-level spells, emphasizing strategic resource allocation. Spell Selection: Choosing spells that scale well with upcasting can enhance a spellcaster's versatility and effectiveness in diverse scenarios.

In part 2 of this RPGBOT.Podcast: Pathfinder 2's War of Immortals—where mythic feats, tech glitches, and epic laughs collide! Join us as we break down Bloodragers, Avengers, and the glorious chaos that is the Warrior of Legend (warning: may break your party and your friendships). Mythic Points? Mythic destinies? We're covering it all and comparing the new rules to old-school chaos, with a side of troubleshooting. Come for the insights, stay for the hilarity of three podcasters battling not only Pathfinder but also their own audio setup. Summary Buckle up for an epic romp through the second part of the intricacies of Pathfinder 2's War of Immortals in this hilariously insightful episode, where the RPGBOT team dives headfirst into everything from character archetypes to game-breaking mythic feats—and tackles some epic tech issues along the way! With lively banter, the hosts dissect the archetypes of Avenger, Bloodrager, Cineshal, Vindicator, and the dangerously unpredictable Warrior of Legend. As they unpack each archetype, expect serious laughs as they navigate the high-stakes, high-reward gameplay styles, especially around the Warrior of Legend—the archetype that's equally likely to save or doom the party with its over-the-top abilities. The show takes a mythic turn as the team delves into Mythic Rules, exploring how these rules transform characters into veritable legends with god-like abilities and even deadlier mythic monsters. Their discussion on the Mythic Points system will have you debating your own campaigns, as they compare it to older systems and debate if it balances or completely shatters gameplay. Along the way, they share side-splitting insights on mythic destinies and mythic feats, pondering which epic paths might be too powerful for their own good. Expect a deep-dive into variant rules for mythic characters, as the hosts brainstorm extra options for GMs and players to keep campaigns fresh, all while troubleshooting technical difficulties that threaten to become mythic themselves! Whether you're a Pathfinder expert or just here for laughs, this episode promises a wild journey through lore, mechanics, and the bizarre art of keeping an episode together when your setup's in open rebellion. Tune in for the RPG wisdom; stay for the podcast party gone gloriously awry!

Mythic Rules in Pathfinder 2: A simplified but robust new system, Mythic Rules introduces Mythic Points as a meta-currency, allowing rerolls, enhanced checks, and improved character feats that add depth to role-play and combat encounters. The Doomed Condition & Strategy: Discussion on how the doomed condition and the ability to reroll saves add strategic depth, making encounters more challenging and rewarding. Collaborative Storytelling: Emphasized as a core of mythic gameplay, the hosts discuss how the Mythic framework encourages cooperative storytelling, with players and GMs working together to create epic narratives.

Ready to take your Pathfinder 2 campaign from epic to IMMORTAL? Join us on the RPGBOT.Podcast as we dive into War of the Immortals and break down mythic feats, legendary archetypes, and the all-new Mythic Rules—tech issues and hilarious mishaps included! From high-risk Bloodragers to Warrior of Legend madness, we're giving you insights, laughs, and some seriously powerful gameplay ideas. Don't miss this epic journey through Pathfinder's biggest expansion yet! Summary In this unmissable episode, our fearless hosts dive into Pathfinder 2's epic War of the Immortals expansion with the energy of an over-caffeinated Bloodrager and just as many technical hiccups. From unexpected mic drops to internet glitches, the journey to becoming a mythical hero has never been so... relatable. Our brave podcasters dissect Pathfinder's most intense archetypes, each bringing its own flavor of chaos to the table. First, they take on the Bloodrager, whose berserk rage will make you wonder if they're recording from a live battlefield. Then there's the Avenger, for when you're morally obligated to protect the party but really just want to smash things. The Cineshal and Vindicator make their debut too, adding layers of strategic flair (and some eyebrow-raising plot twists) to any party composition. Finally, the Warrior of Legend emerges, and they aren't kidding about “high-risk, high-reward”—this class takes bold gameplay to mythic extremes, ensuring that death is just another Tuesday. Next, our heroes turn their attention to Mythic Rules, a toolkit designed to push the boundaries of both gameplay and sanity. They break down Mythic Points, which fuel incredible powers and a few not-so-incredible debates about balance. The hosts dive into the shifting mechanics between old and new systems, discussing how these rules allow players to bend reality, rewrite history, and save—or totally wreck—the world. In the grand finale, they tackle mythic feats, destinies, and monsters, each with its own lore-heavy implications and godlike powers. It's a goldmine for fans looking to add dramatic stakes and mind-blowing moments to their sessions, but not without a side of absolute hilarity. With variant rules and endless options, the episode is packed with all the details, laughs, and chaotic banter you need to take your campaign from epic to “immortal.” Links War of Immortals (affiliate link) Mythic Variant Rules Pathfinder Wiki Gorum Death of Gorum Other Stuff Kaos on Netflix for some reason Takeaways Deep dive into the lore of Gorham and War of the Immortals.
