Passiflora
🕑 Added 2023-11-23 16:00:08 +0000 UTCGreetings adventurers!
While picking through a garden, I was searching for merely some wonderful flowers to bring home to my partner as they love them so, and I had apparently taken part in a bit too much debauchery for their liking of late. I thought a pleasant bouquet would soften the mood and remind them of the non-debaucherous side of me. I was approached by a small winged being with a relatively large attitude. She demanded to know why I was traipsing about in her garden and once I explained the situation, she did at least see reason. She offered me a boon. A present of her own making for me to simply open a certain window in the town florist’s shop. I thought nothing of such a request and got to it right away. For her part, she granted me this lovely amulet that I’m sure will set my partner’s heart aflutter.
Our patrons get early access to all of these items as well as additional formats that are easily usable in both physical and online play for D&D and Pathfinder 2E. Additionally they get high-res art exports, easy to use text exports, behind the scenes updates, and a lot more.

Design notes from Matthew:
Okay so this one kicked off with a word. Passiflora is just the fancy word for a passion flower and I just loved the concept of a flower that could help with healing as well. I’ve wanted to do a few more nature style pieces and this was a perfect opportunity to do so. Basically I want to give those nature paladins and healing druids a few more pieces of viable gear that enhances and fills out their role. This was one of the first implementations at least for the very high end.
In 5E, really the constitution saving throw bonus is probably more powerful than the actual healing part of the amulet. I think that’s fine. Most of it was centered around the healing in my mind, but ultimately there’s some innate passive power that helped round out the item. Funnily enough, the flowers being left in your wake was one of the first things I came up with and initially wanted to bring a mechanic with that as well. In the end, it was just a cosmetic detail, but a fun one.
For the Pathfinder 2E version, there’s already a lot of math that can take place at a table and I really didn’t want to tie a bit more to it. I removed the rolling mechanic for the number of blooms and set it at something more flat. I also set the healing at something flat as I wanted to just make this far more simple to use in the end. Really my focus with PF2E is always to make it fun, but also easily usable as there’s a lot more in the way of mechanics to consider.
You could really call this release a “passion” project. I wanted to bring you all something that could be enjoyed by the nature minded healers out there as I feel like that’s a terribly overlooked group. Healing doesn’t always have to be divine, you know?

Look Tom, you didn't need to call me out so accurately and completely on a holiday... Like first of all, how dare you? Second of all, you're kinda right.

Look at Matthew pretending he doesn't know Passiflora is the brothel in the Witcher.
