Hey people,
I’m currently building a Frontline Runesmith and have run into a bit of a mechanical wall with action economy and traits.

I want to play an Automaton Runesmith with the Guardian Archetype. The core fantasy is being a heavily armored frontline tank who taunts enemies, raises a runically engraved shield, and applies runes directly to enemies in melee.

Because I want to be in the thick of melee, relying on the standard Trace a Rune is pretty dangerous since it has the manipulate trait.

To get around this, the obvious choice is Engraving Strike, right?
(Edit: It just compresses the actions, so I was wrong it isn't an obvious choice)

However, that has the Flourish trait. I also really want to lean into my shield usage with Fortifying Knock, but that also has the Flourish trait.

Since I can only use one Flourish action per turn, I can't Engrave and use my shield knock in the same round, which really disrupts the fluid frontline tank loop I was hoping for.

Have any of you managed to build a fluid action loop for a melee/shield Runesmith that fits this tanky playstyle?

How do you juggle the manipulate trait up close when you can't use Engraving Strike every single turn?

Are there any specific feats or tactics (maybe using Automaton ancestry feats or Guardian taunts) that smooth this over?

Any ideas, feat recommendations, or alternative build paths to achieve this class fantasy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think its really time to discuss Pathfinder 2E Paid Foundry modules.
Especially SOCIETY Scenarios.
I think they are OVERPRICED AF. Like 10 scenarios 85 bucks ? Thats crazy?
Anybody wanna discuss this ?

Hey !
I guess the Foundry team works so hard to censor any kind of piracy of their paid modules.
I am looking for Pathfinder's Paid Modules (they have incredibly, unreasobable high costs).
Known share hub A*ber Room also rules out sharing any Foundry Modules.
What can be the reason and are somethings really un-pirateable?

I love how survivors immediately start bullying you the second they realize you aren't running a meta build.

I tried playing Jason and being creative with my perks, only to get instantly bullied. I love how survivors forces you to sweat with meta perks just to have some fun.

Yeah, next time I'm grabbing the nastiest hex perks with the most toxic add-ons. Thanks for the teabagging at the exit gates.

Hey everyone. Since the latest update, my browser has started randomly freezing up on me.

The weird thing is that when it freezes, the only way I can get it to respond again is by alt-tabbing out of the window and then clicking back in. Once I do that, it goes right back to normal.

I never had this problem before this recent update. I checked my system resources and I have plenty of free RAM, so it definitely doesn't seem like a hardware or performance issue on my end.

Has anyone else run into this bug or found a way to fix it?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to start making my own maps for our campaign, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding the right tools. It seems like most of the map-making software out there is strictly built for fantasy and medieval games, which doesn't really help when I need a gritty neon alleyway or a corporate office.

Where do you all make your maps so they actually fit the cyberpunk aesthetic? I'd love to hear what software you use, and if there are any specific sci-fi or modern asset packs you'd recommend. I don't mind if it's paid or free software, just looking for something that gets the job done.

Thanks in advance!

Selam herkese!
HS ve LoR gibi dijital kart oyunlarından sonra Riftbound ile fiziksel TCG dünyasına ufaktan giriş yapıyorum. İşin daha çok toplama noktasında değilim de, oynama kısmından zevk alıyorum. Başlangıç için birkaç champion deck ve booster paketi aldım ama asıl yapmak istediğim internette gördüğüm spesifik bir Volibear destesi var.

Sürekli paket açıp cüzdanı boşaltmadan, tam olarak nokta atışı aradığım kartları toplamanın en bütçe dostu yolu nedir? Bu kültürden maalesef çok uzağım.
