I don't think in all my years of playing dungeons and dragons anybody ever played a psychic character. Isn't one of the big upsides that nothing has resistances to psychic powers or something? I honestly just don't know much about the class in previous iterations.

Basically, yeah. Think of it like introducing a brand new magic system in to an existing game and the new system comes with a bunch of it's own unique ways to break the rules. Magic is already really good in DnD and now here comes Magic Plus.

2nd edition psionics were wild. You were more like a super hero with a mix of powers that were weirdly "level agnostic" and could build your choices like a video game. It indeed didn't fit most of the settings. But it was unique. I only really enjoyed it in dark sun, which was a wild spread of hardship and OP races and classes

So another pf2e question.

So "status bonus to damage" does that apply to just the die roll. Or does it apply to die roll and splash. Since they different mechanic pools?

I've been playing a fire alchemist and using Burn it! which reads:
Your spells and alchemical items that deal fire damage gain a status bonus to damage equal to half the spell's rank or one-quarter the item's level (minimum bonus +1). You also gain a +1 status bonus to any persistent fire damage you deal.

So I was also going to use a spell:
Gravity Weapon - You build up gravitational force and funnel it into your blows, leading to more powerful attacks with blade and bow alike. On your first weapon Strike each round, you gain a status bonus to damage equal to twice the number of weapon damage dice.

So im curious if this would apply to the splash damage portion of the strike as well. Id lean towards yes.

I don't know if there's a better thread for this, but amazon prime video suddenly has a bunch of shows with people playing D&D. A year or so ago I found Always a Sword: A Sword and Sorcery Adventure. I liked it, but not enough to search out dimension20 or critical role on youtube, because I fucking hate watching shit on my computer. TV is to be watched from my EZ chair, dammit.

Anyway last weekend I saw a new one. Dimension 20 : Fantasy High Freshman Year. Enjoying it too. If anyone else has seen it, I'm 3 episodes in and I have some questions.
At the same time I saw a few others that I will check out after I'm done with this one:
Faster, Purple Worm! Kill! Kill!
Encounter Party
Dungeon Masters. I watched the first one of these and it's an actual hasbro wizards of the coast product. I would save it for last, but one of the players looks like a young scarjo.

It's like prime decided these were suddenly a good idea and shit a bunch of them out. Or probably more likely, bought some rights for stuff that was already available on youtube.

Update on the last post. I finished dimension 20 freshman year. Loved it. I'm a few episodes in on the dungeon masters one and I think I'm going to drop it. It's putting me to sleep. The DM is pretty great and obviously I like looking at the scarjo lookalike, but everything outside of combat seems scripted. Everyone has multiple dark secrets they are keeping from the group. No one is having fun pulling crazy stunts using abilities in questionable ways. All of the dudes have annoying characters that they never come out of. I think one of the dudes is a them. Or maybe I just think that because he's playing a chick. But lets face it, dudes who play chicks are always weirdos.
