Passed this thread along to my GM and he's decided "it looks like we're already playing as intended and nobody has shown sufficient rules to say otherwise" (rough quote). So it looks like my angry witch-smiter gets to continue hunting down heretics with holy judgement.

Due to another thread clarifying archetype DCs my barbarian isn't quite as good at it these days, but that's fine.

I dont agree with HumbleGamer at all because the rules text for the instinct doesnt support his/her concept of what the superstition barbarian is.

Regarding CaptainMorgan's interpretation based on the use of the word "accept":

We all read "Willingly accepting the effects of spells, even from your allies is anathema to your instinct" as you needing to resist any spells cast on you, as normally you get two options when a beneficial spell is cast on you: either choose to accept or resist the spell.

I dont think "accept" in this context means acknowledging that the spell will have an effect on others. Because if it did that would mean a superstition barbarian would have to pretend fireballs cast by others won't hurt his allies, otherwise by your definition the barbarian would be "accepting" the effect of a spell.

Willingly accepting the effects of magic spells (including from scrolls, wands, and the like), even from your allies, is anathema to your instinct. You can still drink potions and invest and activate most magic items you find, though items that cast spells are subject to the same restrictions as all other spells. If an ally insists on using magic on you despite your unwillingness, and you have no reason to believe they will stop, continuing to travel with that ally of your own free will counts as willingly accepting their spells (as do similar circumstances) and thus is also anathema to your instinct.

Everything in that text is specifically about how magic affects the barbarian, so with the absence of rules even mentioning the ability to cast spells shouldn't that mean that it remains unchanged, working as normal?

(I dont think you should add rules inferred from what you think the superstition barbarian should be thematically, as others may have a different theme in mind and not even the flavor text for the instinct mentions a total inability to utilise spells)

Can a superstition Barbarian still cast spells that dont target themself? The anathema mentions "accepting the effects" of spells on themself and lists a few other things that they cant do but it doesn't say you cant force effects on others, so is it fine for them to do so?

(My barbarian has the champion dedication and occasionally doles out furious magical judgement on others, while he views others doing anything similar to him as abhorrent. Thats how we've been playing it so far but we've recently found out we've been ruling a few things wrong so I wanted to check we were doing this right and he was still ok to cast at enemies.)

Can someone check their copy of Grand Bazaar to see if the chakram has Reload 0? I think ive found another mistake in pathbuilder2e but can't verify without having the book. I want to know if i can draw them without spending an action like you can with a shuriken.

Do I have to be mounted on my legchair to use its support benefit and if I dont does it work at range? Is it limited to the legchair's melee reach?

So pathbuilder2e is wrong? They're usually pretty good for rules and that makes my focus spell worse if it never goes beyond trained (or if it is based on charisma instead). Are you sure because I should submit it as a bug to them if the app is wrong.

My barbarian has the champion dedication and basic devotion for deities domain. We all use pathbuilder2e for our characters and I noticed that the spell attack rolls for the focus spell is modified whenever my strength and class dc changes.

We never really thought about the Spell Attack rolls or DCs and had been trusting pathbuilder2e for our numbers.

Are the champion dedication focus spells supposed to be based on my barbarian class DC like pathbuilder2e shows or should they use something else?
