Picking Your Next Game System (TTRPG / Pathfinder) SwingRipper 2025-09-15 | This video was inspired by Undertale's 10th anniversary, and I wanted to explore how mechanics help tell stories in TTRPGs. I was between this video idea and another video idea that I will want more time to cook on. This video is a walk-through of all the games I have played and feel confident I can pitch and will want to go back to for a game eventually (except 5e, you can't make me)I also messed up the audio a bit by having my mic too far away...

Pathfinder 3e... What Would I Do? SwingRipper 2025-02-04 | Welcome to my opinion video on the things that I would change if there were to be a PF3e... Many of my changes are aimed at helping new players and some tables may look at my suggestions and run them as houserules, but these are the kinds of changes that I would expect if we get an "edition transition". These ideas assume a more PF2.5 rather than PF3 (remaster is a PF2.1).

How to make ACTUALLY GOOD puzzles in D&D or Pathfinder SwingRipper 2025-01-21 | If you are wondering why I sound different... I had to uninstall OBS and reset my user data as it kept on crashing (it isn't recognizing my graphics card anymore so my noise canceling is different). But yea...This is a video on what I think makes a good puzzle in a Pathfinder or D&D game and why I dislike almost every puzzle that calls itself a puzzle. If I am sitting down to play D&D or Pathfinder I want to engage with the world through my character, not solve riddles as a player... This video also has some ideas for how to implement "puzzle-like" gameplay in a way that is not just a riddleJoin the Grapple Based community on discord: discord.gg/D9VEj36NydIf you can spare the money, $5 to get 24 hours early access to new videos, a few neat emoji, and priority comments:youtube.com/channel/UCVa0s6NYZ5wmgjiV0ORvTrg/join
Pathfinder Nuzlocke - Dawnsbury Days Insane with Permadeath SwingRipper 2025-01-01 | I am playing Dawnsbury days with a few rules to make it harder inspired by the Pokemon Nuzlocke community. You can't change your party mid-level, so the rules are built around that... The idea is that I will be forced to problem-solve with the limited pool of classes I have access to and I can't just rely on one class to carry me through the whole game as *characters can get knocked out pretty easily*. If I want to use Timber Sentinel to cheese a level, I can, but if that Kineticist goes down I'll need to figure out a different strategy for the next level.Rules- You start the game by randomly getting 6 classes- Every time you level up you get 2 new classes added to your pool- If a class is knocked out in a fight you can't use them again until you level up without that class in the party (but you can still finish the current level with your current party unless someone dies)- If a class dies, you reset to the start of that level and PERMANENTLY remove that class from the pool of what you can build with- Starting loot must be equal to or less than the starting gold presented by the game- Play on Insane difficulty- Enable all variant rules that make the game truer to RAW tabletop (Swap action is allowed, but you drop weapons on knockout)- No manually restarting a level- If you don't have enough available classes to continue, you loseSpecial Note: there is no duplicate clause so you can roll multiples of the same class (IE if you rolled 3 fighters, you can then use 3 fighters in the same party, if one of them gets knocked out you must remove them from the pool and can only use 2 fighters for the next stretch)Join the Grapple Based community on discord: discord.gg/D9VEj36NydIf you can spare the money, $5 to get 24 hours early access to new videos, a few neat emoji, and priority comments:youtube.com/channel/UCVa0s6NYZ5wmgjiV0ORvTrg/join

Fixing PF2es Weirdest Variant Rule - Proficiency Without Level SwingRipper 2024-09-13 | This video explores what the PWoL variant rule is and the fix for it known as Flatfinder. This variant rule makes it so you don't add level to anything including AC, Skills, Attack Rolls, etc thus flattening the math out.

PFS Class Tier List for Pathfinder 2e SwingRipper 2024-09-01 | My tier list rating each class and its potential in a drop in play game. This list is driven by my personal opinion and basically every class can be +-1 whole tier. All classes CAN BE VIABLE, some are just easier to fit into a party and will require less team support. The more a class relies on its teammates the lower it will rank on this tier list.My cleric guide - youtu.be/bHQyY68lvRM?si=Of0DlZrImen36mz1 ChaptersInto - 0:00Alchemist - 1:20Barbarian - 2:39Bard - 4:42Cleric - 6:08Champion - 8:25Druid - 10:20Fighter - 11:38Gunslinger - 13:11Inventor - 15:00Investigator - 16:55Kineticist - 18:43Magus - 21:43Monk - 24:48Oracle - 26:27Psychic - 28:20Ranger 32:30Rogue - 33:05Sorcerer - 35:20Summoner - 36:37Swashbuckler - 38:25Thaumaturge - 40:00Witch - 41:09Wizard - 42:26End of List - 43:57Join the Grapple Based community on discord: discord.gg/D9VEj36NydIf you can spare the money, $5 to get 24 hours early access to new videos, a few neat emoji, and priority comments:youtube.com/channel/UCVa0s6NYZ5wmgjiV0ORvTrg/join
Divine Spells - How the Worst List Became Strong in PF2e SwingRipper 2024-08-27 | This guide goes over the phases of the divine spell list and discusses how the divine list gained more power as the game aged.

Best UTILITY Spells - Magic as Worldbuilding in PF2e SwingRipper 2024-08-25 | Come along for the journey of the ways spells can impact the game! This guide will focus on which spells can impact the world the most rather than which spells can win a combat.

Solarians UNDER Powered Issue SwingRipper 2024-08-08 | In this video I discuss how Solarian's class chassis just does not do *enough* to justify it against its contemporaries from PF2e. Fighter and Magus both do its job but *better* in some respect so I hope Solarian's solar flare gets buffed up enough to be a major draw for the class!You can read the starfinder2e playtest here: paizo.com/starfinderplaytestChapters0:00 - Intro0:35 - Solar Shot1:55 - More on Class Chassis2:50 - Main Issue5:13 - Potential Changes8:08 - ConclusionJoin the Grapple Based community on discord: discord.gg/D9VEj36NydIf you can spare the money, $5 to get 24 hours early access to new videos, a few neat emoji, and priority comments:youtube.com/channel/UCVa0s6NYZ5wmgjiV0ORvTrg/join
My Problems with The Operative SwingRipper 2024-08-07 | In the new Starfinder2e playtest paizo.com/starfinderplaytest 6 classes were revealed. I feel the Operative has too many tools pulling it in too many directions and I wanted to talk about it. I really do think Operative will become a class I love after it gets tuned properly, but for now, I have concerns about it.Chapters TBD before public release on WednesdayIntro / Disclaimer - 0:00Level 1 - 1:25Mobility at other lower levels - 3:506:23 - Ranger MAP7:50 - Opinion TimeJoin the Grapple Based community on discord: discord.gg/D9VEj36NydIf you can spare the money, $5 to get 24 hours early access to new videos, a few neat emoji, and priority comments:youtube.com/channel/UCVa0s6NYZ5wmgjiV0ORvTrg/join
How Starfinder Enforces Powercreep (for casters) SwingRipper 2024-08-06 | This video is basically my rant against the trend of casters having more and more slots in the current era. I want to see casters that have more unique features so that power budget is freed up to make truly unique experiences. There are good reasons for making these design decisions, but that does not mean I have to like casters getting more slotsRead the SF2 playtest hereChapters Intro / Disclaimer - 0:00There are a ton of 4 slot casters now - 2:10Why no 6hp characters in SF2 - 5:54Alternate ways to make casters unique - 8:04Join the Grapple Based community on discord: discord.gg/D9VEj36NydIf you can spare the money, $5 to get 24 hours early access to new videos, a few neat emoji, and priority comments:youtube.com/channel/UCVa0s6NYZ5wmgjiV0ORvTrg/join

Unbeatable Party Combat Demo Wrapup SwingRipper 2024-07-31 | This is a wrap-up for a combat demo that I did last week. In that event **REDACTED** and I want to break down why that was the case.

What Makes a Spell Good in PF2? SwingRipper 2024-07-30 | Here is my video discussion on what makes a spell good. I have seen many PF2e guides focus on a *list of the best spells*, but I believe that all spells have to be analyzed within a context to have any value. This guide seeks to provide the lens that I use to analyze spells or other abilities in PF2e.Chapters0:00 - Intro1:08 - Job of Spell6:18 - Efficiency8:52 - Opportunity Costs12:14 - OutroJoin the Grapple Based community on discord: discord.gg/D9VEj36NydIf you can spare the money, $5 to get 24 hours early access to new videos, a few neat emoji, and priority comments:youtube.com/channel/UCVa0s6NYZ5wmgjiV0ORvTrg/join

Stop Optimizing for Damage in Pathfinder 2e SwingRipper 2024-07-22 | Damage isn't a great target in Pathfinder 2e, but it still has its place. Frequently characters do enough damage without needing to purely focus on it and utility options are required in order to win tough boss fights. I suggest that newer players stop trying to focus on what the highest damage options are and look at what utility they can grab alongside their damage! Not only does this make the game more tactically interesting, but it will also help you succeed in high difficulty fights!Join the Grapple Based community on discord: discord.gg/D9VEj36NydIf you can spare the money, $5 to get 24 hours early access to new videos, a few neat emoji, and priority comments:youtube.com/channel/UCVa0s6NYZ5wmgjiV0ORvTrg/join
