Any Feat or ability that assumes Oracles have a Focus pool because they have Focus Spells.

Or someone merely forgot because the Oracles rules on their Not-Focus are needlessly complicated rather than being innovative. I also wouldn’t consider them the class defining feature of the Oracles, that belongs to the Mystery/Curse.

So if its something specific to Orcales, yes that is rules writing incompetence. Sorry but that would be like forgetting how Witches get their spells when writing content for a Witch. If it isn't something specific to Oracle then it is already covered in the "Oracles never get Focus" portion of the Oracle text. Maybe I'm still being dumb and still require an actual specific example.

1e's Charger archetype for Animal Companions has a feature that gives benefits to a Cavalier, but replaces Share Spells. A Cavalier's Animal Companion doesn't get Share Spells as per the Cavalier's class feature that grants the Animal Companion. It was designed for Cavaliers, but cannot be taken by them. And this is just an example of overlooking a single sentence in Cavalier.

If that can happen for 1e, it can happen in 2e as well. I feel like it'd be even MORE likely to happen if the class feature is confusing, like with the playtest's Oracle not focus* TM.

Who needs to sneak past the guards when you can bribe them using Legendary Steak, with a sampling of Sunwurst. If that doesn't work then be prepared to hit them with a Baking Nightmare.

Also, goblins in Golarion traditionally hate and fear horses. It's a bit weird to have no culturally appropriate animal companions with the mount feature.

This is why I think they should add a line to the Goblin's Rough Rider ancestry feat that lets you treat a goblin dog or wolf as though it has the mount special ability, or something along those lines.
