Pathfinder 2e
Blob's Card Engine works with the Pathfinder Second Edition system (pf2e 7 and later) out of the box: link a seat to a pf2e character and the games use that character's sheet.
What's linked
| In the game | On the pf2e sheet |
|---|---|
| Gold | The character's coins, counted in gold. Paying makes change from bigger coins, and winnings are paid in gold pieces. |
| Hit points | HP and temporary HP. Damage takes temporary HP first; healing stops at the maximum. |
| Hero Points | Hero Points (0 to 3). Games made for D&D's heroic inspiration treat it as a Hero Point: gaining inspiration gives one. |
| Checks | Skills, saving throws and Perception, rolled with pf2e's own check (its dialog and chat card). |
| Conditions | pf2e's conditions, with values: a card can make you Frightened 2. |
| Initiative | The Initiative Deck sets initiative in pf2e's combat tracker. |
Games written for D&D 5e work too: their checks and conditions are matched to pf2e's nearest ones. Deception is Deception, Insight and Perception checks become Perception, a Wisdom save becomes a Will save, and poisoned becomes Sickened 1.
In the settings, Character system picks the adapter. Automatic chooses Pathfinder 2e in a pf2e world.
The built-in games in pf2e
- Tavern Gambit plays for the characters' real coins, and the bluff is a pf2e Deception check.
- Fate Deck heals and hurts, gives conditions (Blinded, Frightened, Prone, Sickened) and Hero Points.
- Initiative Deck deals initiative cards into a pf2e combat.
The Harrow Deck (free pack)
The Harrow Deck is a free pack for Blob's Card Engine. Download it from the itch.io page and import it on the Games tab with Import pack.
- The deck: 54 cards in six suits, one per ability: Hammers (Strength), Keys (Dexterity), Shields (Constitution), Books (Intelligence), Stars (Wisdom) and Crowns (Charisma). Each card has an alignment.
- The Choosing: pick the suit that fits the question. A card of that suit stands for the one asking.
- The Harrowing: nine cards in a 3×3 grid. The columns are past, present and future (lawful, neutral, chaotic). The rows run from good at the top to evil at the bottom.
- Matches: as the cards turn over, each is labelled a true match, partial match, opposite or misaligned for its place. A ★ marks the cards of the chosen suit.
- Saving: Save to journal keeps the harrowing.
