I made a Thaumaturge for a new Blood Lords game. I made a Dex-based build and took Littlehorn Minotaur as my ancestry. My plan was to use my natural weapons (horns) in combat and take advantage of my remaining free hand to use a shield.

Unfortunately, I misread the traits on the horns. I thought it had the Finesse tag, but it's actually the Agile tag. It's really making it hard to land a blow with my +0 strength. The GM offered to let me switch the tag to Agile.

Does anyone see any balance issues in doing this? I don't want to take a "cheat" that is unfair to the other players, but this stupid mistake is really hurting this character.

A new game of RotRL is starting on Dec 26, and I'll be playing in it. The game has been converted to PF2 Remaster, so while I saw some threads about PC advice under PF1, does anyone have new/updated suggestions for PF2?

Currently the group will consist of an inventor trip build, and (maybe) a rogue, so I've got a fair amount of leeway in choices. We're using Free Archetype.

I have a few personal preferences:

I prefer simple-to-play PCs (especially in a 1-20 AP).
I prefer spontaneous over prepared casters.
I prefer classes that aren't solely ranged DPS - not counting spellcasters since they have spells that can do other things.
I would like to avoid bard, fighter, monk, and divine sorcerer, as I'm playing these in other PF2 games and would like something different.

Thoughts appreciated.

I am kicking around buying the Pathfinder system - the books are gorgeous, I love the art, and I like what I'm hearing about it. I wanted to buy the book for use in an Eberrron setting game I may begin.

Questions:

1) I understand there was an effort to eliminate "dead levels" (where PCs don't gain anything interesting when making a level) and front-loaded classes that encourage too much multiclass "double dipping." I like the former for Eberron since I want the PCs to be the stars, and the latter I like from a game balance perspective. Can folks shed some light on this? Is it true?

2) I have a ton of 3.5 adventures (including piles of adventures from another excellent Paizo product, Dungeon Magazine). Money and time are both tight so I can't go and buy all the PF system books and I don't have the time for full conversions. How backwards-compatible is PF with 3.5?

3) Are there any products in the PF line people would recommend specifically for an Eberron-style game?

Thanks,

Christian
