Pathfinder 2e ADVANCED Combat in 7 Minutes or Less

[@lollypopunk95]

These 3 videos in the combat category have been a godsend, especially for new players. Bless you King Ooga Ton Ton

Something i am amazed at is just how often a +1 makes or would make the difference A +1 or +2 is twice as affective in PF2 than it is in DnD5e because of the crit system. Technically 3 times as effective because it can also keep you away from those crit fails.

[@clintonbehrends4659]

a +1 modifier in everything is technically equivalent to leveling up statistically (so having the fear or sickened status is the equivalent to leveling down!)

[@benw.3848]

As someone new to Pathfinder, I cannot overstate the value and helpfulness of these videos. Thank you! ❤

[@Vendavalez]

I have seen better explanations of cover and stealth for beginners but they take 30 minutes at least, which is a bit much to ask of a beginner. And if they don’t get it the first time, or forget and need a refresher that’s another 30 minutes? The relevant part is like 5 minutes of the video so it is easily rewatchable as many times as it takes to get it and as a refresher before a session of you want to be sneaky. And do I need to mention how good it is for just 5 minutes? Seriously! I can’t fathom a better explanation that uses less or even the same amount of time. Every second is used as efficiently as possible and things are introduced in the right order to make the explanation as concise as possible. It’s amazing! Thank you for this video and I look forward to more!

To add few things. You can always Sneak but if enemy can observe you when you use Sneak you stay observed regardless of result. You automatically become Hidden when enemy can't observe you, like behind full cover. When fleeing the enemy you should consider Striding to behind full cover instead of Hiding in order to become Hidden. If you fail Avoid Noticed you can't be unnoticed in next encounter but if you succeed both Avoid Notice as well initiative Stealth you start encounter Undetected and Unnoticed. -It is up to your group to talk what happens when it is creature's turn when all enemies are unnoticed. The Remaster rewrote Seek action in a way you are now just seeking everything that is hidden including creatures. Search Exploration Activity works against creatures using Avoid Noticed. If you succeed instead of starting middle of Goblin Ambush you would start ~50ft earlier. Edit: Tried to summarized everything down.

[@anthonynorman7545]

1:40 Why not demoralize as the 1st action? Wouldn't the frightened affect more strikes that way?

[@clintonbehrends4659]

you're correct

[@misterb6]

The greatest of all possible third actions in PF2e. Eat some cheese. 😄

[@kevinbarnard355]

Don't forget the action to DRAW your cheese. Unless you are one of the master warriors who foregoes an open hand to always have cheese in hand.

[@SoulPotion]

Whoa, one more brilliant video! Thank you so much for the content

[@broh.8922]

I have always been confused by stealth rules and have played ttrpgs for a long time. This video helps so much

[@peceman9889]

Any day that KingOogaTonTon uploads is a good day

[@DemiFaust270]

Just getting started with foundry and switching over to pathfinder with friends. Thank you so much for this videos!

[@Gubbykahn]

Have Fun with the greatest TTRPG you could ever Play. DnD was yesterday, real heros play Pathfinder :P

[@azbear2781]

So THAT'S how Batman does it! Frightened and flat-footed!

[@charliefancyboy4196]

I’ve been DMing for almost two years and have been using flat-footed incorrectly XD super good video. Ty

[@dji7732]

For the algorithm! New players and GMs alike need to see these videos.

[@RPCauldron]

Great summary and clarification in down to earth terms of the pretty complex concealment/hidden/detected/undetected stuff. Very good video, so useful!

[@LamplightLegends]

Love this channel, your videos are clear and succinct! I've been sending them all to my players!

[@calviano]

This is very CLEAR! thank you for great teaching

[@theactorsdungeon3898]

I'm sharing this with my team. Very helpful, thank-you.

[@travisbaggett2813]

I love all King Oogatonton videos!

[@AhhFa]

I have been playing a Pistolero Gunslinger for over a year now, and demoralize has been my bread and butter. Combined with the dread rune on my armor, I am one spooky cowboy

[@ColorfulPockets]

Thanks! These videos are great for my group who are new to Pathfinder!

[@ratonjj]

Really good explanation. My only thing to point at is that it go VERY fast and that make it sound more complicated than it is.

[@Einrich]

With 5-7 unexperienced players: DM gives + or - based on common sense, going for player's experience rather than exact rules.

[@hectorvivis3651]

Great advanced video. Keep up the great work!

[@shapstuh]

My character with both imprecise scent and blind fight: “Interesting, anyway”

[@GameMasterDude230]

I love your combat videos. They are super helpful. But you must go through a lot of cheese when you make them lol

[@Dracobyte]

Great video as always!

[@okis3020]

Okasy, I have a stupid question. IF my oponent is Hiden and If I am successful in a DC 11 flat test, do I have to make another attack roll? Or does it count as the same? Sory for all mistakes

[@KingOogaTonTon]

Not stupid at all! Yes, you have to make another attack roll. So 1 roll to overcome the Hidden condition, and a second roll to actually make the attack.

[@okis3020]

@@KingOogaTonTon Thank you so much

[@10Boxing]

So helpful. Your videos are really great.

[@ChiquilosoGamer]

Question: Can you actually Sneak while being Hidden?. In the Core Rulebook (pg. 252) the description of the ability says that you must be undetected, so I got a bit confused there @_@

[@stijnheid1]

Great video!, so there's no way to sneak away from cover and attack an enemy out in the open with flat footed modifier?

[@cinderheart2720]

Some feats give you the ability to string multiple strides together, with you remaining hidden if you're still behind cover at the end of your turn rather than at the end of each movement.

[@Skaxarrat]

We need more videos detailing more "Eating cheese" strats

[@klauskeller6380]

Be careful not every GM will let you stay hidden while taking the eat cheese action.

[@theactorsdungeon3898]

Only if you brought enough for everyone.

[@SheppiTSRodriguez]

Awesome video

[@ChibiTails]

One small note here--If you plan to Demoralize with your third action, DO IT FIRST! If you succeed, then YOUR attacks get the benefit, too!

[@tamburiini6238]

Thanks

[@severussnape2917]

That's really cool

[@Alpha___00]

Gnolls. They are gnolls.

[@chaoticnote]

A critical success doesn't Have to be more than than 10. It's if you're 10 or more over the DC

[@nyx234]

i love the cheese meta~

[@rynehawk6237]

Now I want some cheese

[@imaplaygames633]

Eat cheese is the best action.

[@kikikillian1208]

Is it just me or was the entire idea of "advantage" replaced by "flat footed" in Pathfinder?

[@KaZlos]

thats was in pf1e, in 2e flat footed is just a circumstance one, so ou want to stack it with a status and item bonuses - and you can use true strike for "advantage"

[@kikikillian1208]

@@KaZlos yeah I get that, I'm just used to 5e giving advantage for stuff like attacking when hidden and all that

[@neon-lake]

That's what the whole advantage system was trying to simplify eplace in the first place my guy Instead of all these +1&2s from 3e and Pathfinder u just roll twice

[@kikikillian1208]

@@neon-lake tbf, advantage is an average of +3.smth so yeah, I get that

[@BestgirlJordanfish]

Like so many of the best parts of Pathfinder 2E, it’s rooted in D&D 4E. In this case, they used the term “combat advantage” for a +2 bonus under different circumstances, though that was rooted in a pretty different version of flat-footed as basically a vulnerable state without certain modifiers instead of that -2 to AC.

[@CharlesChaldea]

There's a tournament announcer out there absolutely popping off right now because "THE CHEESE!?" Cannot believe his eyes. Crazy stuff.

[@boris_bulletdodger9109]

Positive comment

[@blitz3391]

The stealth and surprise systems in pf2e are a nightmare for new gms. When you have only one pc it’s fine, but with multiple pcs and enemies, it’s a nightmare to track. And given the descriptions are so vague anyone has its own interpretation , I just cut the whole system out from my games , getting closer to a pf1/dd5 system

[@Gubbykahn]

Most important Action in Pathfinder is Eating Cheese! It gives you so much Bonus to your next Rounds. If you play Ratfolk you get doubled Bonus!

[@icevlad148]

Dear god. Conditions within conditions, bonuses that stack bonuses that don't. How GMs keep track of all of this? If 5e is experiencing GM drout, pathfinder must be living with it.

[@ВсеславМатвеев]

Following established rules, to me, is easier than creating them on the fly or searching homebrew for them, judgin if they are Balanced or not. But that only matter's if you, as the DM, want to keep everything fair and consistent.

[@nivrap_]

Because PF doesn't put all the workload on the GM. Players are responsible for knowing their conditions because individually, each of them will only have a few.

[@KaitoKurogami]

As a new DM, it was easier than i tought it would be, and half the time if an enemy is flat footed or has a condition, the players tell you because they want to hit the enemies more than anyone. Also, there are lots of ways to keep track of conditions and statuses, if you cant remember everything, you can write it down in like 10 seconds, you can use tokens to represent statuses and physically give them to the players, etc. (and yes, for some people it will look like homework, but for other people it will actually be more fun) And if you use any kind of virtual tabletop it keeps track of itself

[@hectorvivis3651]

You get familiar with it, or at least how to get the relevant info. The GM screen is really great and gives you near everything you need for that.

[@DirkMcThermot]

If I’m unsure about something, I can search it quickly and easily on Archives of Nethys. For 5e, I have to hope people on the internet have already asked my same question and do overall more research work (doubly so for rules that are scattered throughout the PHB or DMG).

[@allenp920]

Way too over complicated combat

sounds like AI robot voice 👎👎👎
