February Sanctioning Update - Lost Omens: Ancestry Guide and Bestiary 1.

Super excited about all the cool new heritages! Sprites, geniekind and Kitsune especially look amazing ^_^

And amazing work with the same day sanctioning + update on AoN!

I highly appreciate the speedy sanctioning. It's a lot of work, and timely sanctioning has been an issue in the past. I'm glad for the diligence in ensuring that new content gets sanctioned close to a book's release.

That being said, I'm disappointed to see *all* of the ancestries/heritages require expensive boons, even ones that had been popular and common for half a decade. I had hoped that the Society's evolving story in 1st Edition would have at least translated to a discount for these ancestries.

Make sure to tell the AoN volunteers this! They worked hard, and yesterday worked real fast at fixing all the bugs people found and rolled out fixes on the same day!

Sadly, the last season before the edition break broke a lot of diplomatic relations, and the Pathfinder Society is currently working hard to fix them. Relations with kobolds were recently secured, and the process is ongoing for Hobgoblins and Razmirans. The prices will most probably get reduced and/or waived after some successful missions related to groups of the new ancestries. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of them coming.

I really appreciate the pace y'all have kept at getting the new content out as close to release as possible.

This brings us current in sanctioning Pathfinder Adventures for credit in the Pathfinder Society.

Tyrant's Grasp doesn't count? We've been waiting a long while for that. (On top of a lot of great material from the last few books that have been abandoned for 2e; the monitor demigod options from Concordance of Rivals are a great source of fluff that can't currently be reflected properly in PFS1e)

"Pathfinder Adventures" is the Paizo branding for what most of us called Modules, rather than Adventure Paths.

Oh yeah, forgot that they switched up the terminology for 2e.

I know this may seem like a redundant or obvious question cause it says they are all available via Standard Access or Uncommon with Boons. However, playing it safe; If you buy the Tiefling Boon with 80 AcP, this allows you to use Beastbrood, correct?

Yes. Tiefling heritage is Uncommon so you need the boon to access it, but once you've bought the boon you can use all common options the tiefling heritage has. This includes all the lineage feats.

Awesome! I bought the boon, but then didn’t see a mention to Beastbrood (which I totally get cause it just released), so I went looking online and again, still new to find a concrete answer. So, before I started using him in Org Play I figured I better concrete an answer on usage if I ended up being questioned on it. Thank you!

Kind of annoyed at a month with no Starfinder, but... red-headed stepchild. :/

OK. I acknowledge this is completely my own biases shining through, but...

We can only have 1 catfolk and at most 2 shoonies but we can have as many strix, sprites, fleshwarps, and androids as we want (and can afford)?

Aren't Hobgoblins limited to one as well?

Have you ever tried herding cats? :>

That aside, I'd gently request a removal of the 'one per' rule if the prices are going to remain high for members who do not have a chance to participate regularly.

EDIT:
If Starfinder ACP are going to be going to a general pool, the options will swiftly overwhelm the system and reduce the ability of players to access 'neat things' in both campaigns...

I'm fairly active (over half way to my second glyph, attended a few online cons, play about 1/week) and couldn't afford more than two catfolk if I wanted to after nearly two years of play. I can't imagine this is a practical issue except for the players who are doing damn near everything. The limit becomes a 'potential problem' if they reduce prices / increase AcP generation; not if it remains high.

Back when Michael Sayre was still on the team he'd mentioned that the intent was for access restrictions like the one-per on Hobgoblins to change over time based on how we interact with various rarer ancestries, so it already seems like something the Org Play team is actively considering.
