That's too bad, I was really hoping we were missing something. I've got a natural weapon fighter who would love to go Cybersoldier when he hits that chronicle, I guess I just sit and hope that cybernetic arms show up somewhere at level 5/6 before he hits level 5. Not likely I'm sure considering we seem to be out of the tech-theme for PFS scenarios. I could understand if there was a way to take the archetype later, but from 5-11 it's a pretty hefty drawback for a fighter, and you have to take it by level 5.

Option B would be to take the 5th or 6th chronicle sheet (where such things appear) and reduce the gold down to 1398 to put on a level 1 PC - you'd miss out on the gold later in the character's career and also wouldn't get the boons until later, but you'd have access to the gear "on time" at least?

There is also the distinct possibility that we'll include a cybernetic arm on a future Chronicle sheet.
When Season 3 came to a close, many were concerned that there would not be any more adventures in Tian Xia, yet we continued to revisit the continent because it is both fun for everyone and rewarding for those who built characters tied into that theme. The same happened with Season 4 and Varisia as well as Season 5 and the Workdwound (we have an adventure set there this month). I can speak with considerable confidence when predicting we'll see another adventure every so often that speaks to the tech-savvy PCs born of Season 6.
Never know what could show up on that Chronicle sheet...

True, now I'm even more sad because my fighter is level 2 so that won't work for the character I really want it on. Oh well, my GM boon will just go to a gunslinger instead!

Those guys could really use a hand. Their archetype bonuses cost them an arm and a leg.Tonya, are we correct in interpreting that, because of legal items, the Cyber Soldier archetype not only doesn't help till level 11 (an Iron Gods chronicle finally gives items the archetype works with), but actually hurts you due to losing those class features effectively without anything replacing them?The archetype functions as written, which means that one would need to have a cybernetic arm to make the most of it. The Chronicle sheets printed to date do not provide such an item until higher levels. That means that the archetype does result in some delayed satisfaction—at least until we have such an item appear on a lower-level Chronicle sheet.
That pun is a bit of a reach.
