Except that you can gain up to 3, and there is the champion “Desperate Focus” feat allowing them to recover during combat as a free action. (With caveats in PC2).
Can you think of an example 1-A or 2-A focus spell that would be horribly unbalanced if a character was able to just cast it every round? Compared to that same character’s alternatives with runed weapons, spell slots, scrolls, or wands?
Focus Spells are “easier to use” spells that, relative to full slotted spells, should be easier to use. Since spell slots moved from “wait until the adventuring day is over” to “have a pause during exploration”, it seemed appropriate to move focus points from “have a pause during exploration” to something easier, meaning “during combat.”
Since it burns actions to do nothing but recover a single focus point, having it be as complex as casting a fireball (2-A) seemed excessive. So, 1-A is where I landed.
That looks neat! Is it using the ORC license or is there a seperate deal with pazio?
I see that it’s single-player, but it’d be neat if the crpg could have a (bolted on utter hack of a) “gm mode” that could serve as a self-hosted local-only VTT. I have kids, and neither enough room nor money for proper minis. :)
Is it your intention to make melee attacks relatively less deadly? You gave a flat damage boost to both ranged and melee, but no corresponding boon to melee.
P2e is balanced around its action economy. Melee attacks are higher damage because PCs frequently need to spend an action to get into range.
