No big deal, Erik. I think that you guys made that best decision to not turn the ship around. I don't care about the logo mistake. I likely wouldn't have even noticed the error if you hadn't pointed it out. I wants my book. I wants it!

I've run in to situations like this before. I've had to explain to DMs that them not liking something does not make it wrong. What you're doing is a perfectly acceptable and legal option as part of a class feature.

I've also had to have the talk with DMs that they're not allowed to make surprise houserules in the middle of a campaign. If they're (the houserules) not made crystal clear at the onset of a game, then they don't happen.

If it were me, I would explain both of these to him and let him know that I found his stance unacceptable for these reasons. If he didn't budge, then I'd leave the group and find another one. Do not pass go. Don't collect $200. Good luck my friend.

I see everyone here complaining that the investigator has sneak attack or that he/it has too many dice for it. At the same time, I hear people complaining that rogues suck and nobody wants to play them. In my opinion leave the sneak attack alone and this makes a viable substitute for the rogue. I have several reasons for saying this, but the big 3 that jump out at me are:

1: This is a rogue hybrid. It's supposed to have sneak attack.

2: If you take sneak attack away from this class, it's extremely weak in combat.

3: Vivisectionist was taken away from PFS players. In my opinion (and many others out there agree with me) the vivisectionist was only the way to fly for melee alchemists. If you leave sneak attack in for the investigator then that build becomes viable/playable again, particularly in the PFS arena.

I do agree that poison use is unnecessary and can/should be swapped out for another option.
