Eh, it's part anal retention, part joke, part not wanting to give WotC the brand recognition.

what's the spell called i need it

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.

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?*
-
> 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.

It's only permanent if the target **critically** fails. Which puts all of the wording into question.

They're called GMs in Pathfinder
Dungeon Master is a DnD term, and trademarked by WotC. Breaking Hasbro IP is chaotic good though -
Breaking Hasbro IP is chaotic good thoughI'd rather not give them the recognition, and Pathfinder ditched alignment anyway.

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.

I prefer using the game's defined term, or Game Master for general usage.

what's the spell called i need itIt's Blindness/Deafness which has a duration of permanent (albeit dismissible by the caster)
-
Ah! Whenever I'm talking to people about Pathfinder, it's always 2e. Sorta like people saying D&D and meaning 5(.5)e.
-
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.

You might want to explain the joke, I thought you were just an arse before reading the replies
*Nobody liked that* -
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.
