    Explaining Magic items to my 5e players/friends is always such a fun experience:

    So basically, Fundamental Runes make something better at what it's designed for, like making a sword better at cutting, while Property Runes add things something couldn't do normally, like making a Blade burn (or maybe increase an effect associated with or caused by it, like making an opponent bleed or causing fear)?

      Fundamental runes are your +1/+2/+3. They make your armor and/or weapon generically better at doing its thing, and you're kind of "expected" to get them at certain levels in order to keep up with the stronger enemies you'll be fighting.
      Property runes add extra effects that you don't normally have. Fire damage is an obvious example, or you could add spectral wings to your armor at a high level.
      Bleed is a property rune because it's a lot more dramatic than your typical sword cut. Think of it like a samurai movie where someone gets cut and a huge spray of blood flies out. Every time you hit an enemy, there's a chance of that happening to them.
      Similarly, fear runes offer a magical fear effect. Most of the things you fight in Pathfinder aren't going to be particularly scared just because you hit them. They don't want to die, obviously, but that's the normal, healthy amount of fear to have during a battle. With a fear rune, they'll be magically forced to be scared beyond that normal amount.

    A good basic rule for what makes an item invested is: if you don't need a hand to use it's magic, it's invested. If you do need a hand, or it's a consumable, it's not invested.

      It's less complicated in-play, since you only need to know your specific staff for your character!

    How necessary to magic items to Pathfinder 2? One of the problems that's been plaguing D&D (and by extension Pathfinder) since 3E (and maybe even 2E) is that magic items basically needed to keep pace with enemy progression at higher levels. I hate that because it basically makes magic items feel more mundane when everyone has at least four or five and most of those magic items are just incremental pluses to various stats.

    • @KingOogaTonTon
      @KingOogaTonTon  Před 21 dnem

      They are very necessary, so PF2e can definitely feel like that. There are variant rules that can help like Automatic Bonus Progression, but in general, magical things in Pathfinder get tossed around like candy so it can be an uphill battle to try and avoid that.

    I personaly dont like how wands work in pathfinder since it doesnt really fit on the fantasy of what a wand is to the average person so I usally just let players flavor their staffs as wands.
