Sensory Deprivation Wizard
It’s only permanent if the target critically fails. Which puts all of the wording into question.
blindness/deafness is a 1e spell which is permanent no matter what
Ah! Whenever I’m talking to people about Pathfinder, it’s always 2e. Sorta like people saying D&D and meaning 5(.5)e.
same! I almost let it go assuming we were talking about a crit fail from 2e, but I had an itch in the back of my head telling me to check first
Y’all could have saved me the clicks if I had checked here first. I just went through this same thought process
D&D 3.5:
Blindness/Deafness Necromancy Level: Brd 2, Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Target: One living creature Duration: Permanent (D) Saving Throw: Fortitude negates Spell Resistance: Yes
You pretty much destroy their eyes or ears. There’s a spell that undoes the damage
So can wizards quietly cast spells in a stealthy manner? Want to know if I ever get isekai’d into a pathfinder world.
Come on, Wiz. You have Glitterdust and Stinking Cloud for crying out loud!
what’s the spell called i need it
It’s Blindness/Deafness which has a duration of permanent (albeit dismissible by the caster)
Why would a DM be involved in a Pathfinder game though?
Because most people are not so anal retentive as to give a damn about Hasbros trademarks.
Eh, it’s part anal retention, part joke, part not wanting to give WotC the brand recognition.
The Pathfinder video games are directly from the Pathfinder tabletop game, which is basically a different copyright of D&D. They would need a DM. I’m not sure what else you could be thinking.
They’re called GMs in Pathfinder ;)
Dungeon Master is a DnD term, and trademarked by WotC.
Breaking Hasbro IP is chaotic good though
I’d rather not give them the recognition, and Pathfinder ditched alignment anyway.
It is actually a good strategy to dilute the term Dungeon Master into a general phrase, because that means Hasbro can’t enforce their copyright. For instance, Aspirin is a brand name, but it’s such a generic term that anyone in the US can call their product Aspirin without risk.
We’ll have to agree to disagree! I prefer using the game’s defined term, or Game Master for general usage.
Edited to add, you TTRPG players sure are a contentious people.
+1 Hate for intellectual property law
Pathfinder is very different mechanically to dnd. It’s like saying settlers of catan is a different copyright of carcassonne.
Pathfinder is very different mechanically to dnd
Is it though?
Depends on which edition of DnD, frankly. Pathfinder 1e and 2e are quite mechanically different, as many DnD editions are to each other.
I need to read up on Pathfinder 2e.
I know the “joke” was that 1e was basically D&D 3.75… which was a bit too powergamey for my tastes, so I never even looked at 2e…
It’s still a d20 system but it is quite a bit different.
Pathfinder is closer to D&D than most other TTRPGs (not counting direct D&D derivatives)
True, but anyone who thinks it’s a drag and drop replacement is in for a headache
You might want to explain the joke, I thought you were just an arse before reading the replies :D
Nobody liked that
