Will we be getting any errata for the AP at all? For example, starship builds (e.g. hippocampus, for one, in AP 1) are invalid since the starship build points were changed.

If there is errata out there, can anyone point me to it?

Just curious...

There is a property defined as Numbing (p 15), but there are no weapons with that property. Was that meant to go on the Upgrades list?

Also, as a general comment about the PDF, you all really need to take a look at your bookmarks. Compare it to how much better the CRB bookmarks are. Each table should have it's own bookmark, major sections should be bookmarked, etc.

I dunno, maybe different types of weapons? Sniper Weapon Focus, Small Arm Weapon Focus...et.al...

Also, that is Versatile, not the two I asked about...

EDIT: Oh, I see what you are saying...

Other feats have a "Special" notice that says you are allowed to select the feat multiple times. However Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization do not have these special notices.

Is that an oversight?

So, I understand that the base skill bonus would be a set value at a given level. Ability modifiers should IMHO affect those base values.

Likewise, Strength bonus should affect melee attacks instead of just melee damage.

Oversight?

No disrespect, but since it is unclear (there are a lot of questions about companions), I would prefer an official answer (either a rule printed somewhere that I didn't know, or word from the devs), not just opinions.

Unless I missed something in the companion rules, I think the intent is that companions can't carry *any* meaningful bulk, irrespective of their size and strength. If they are rideable ( and thus saddleable ) this might change, but otherwise the intent is to have a partner, not a pack mule. Or at least, their ability to provide extra carrying capacity is at GM's Discretion Only.

There are mounted companion rules in there (pg 140 AA3). Specifically,

Bulk: You can mount your creature companion as long as
the total amount of bulk you’re carrying doesn’t exceed your
carrying capacity. If you have the encumbered condition (or
gain the overburdened condition) while mounted, your creature
companion gains the same condition while you are riding it.

That implies that they can carry meaningful bulk, since if I am carrying 15 bulk without encumbrance due to my strength, my (at least one size larger) companion can carry 15 + me (which I would have much more bulk than 15).

So to the point of the rest of you, even if my mount has the max strength of 20, and is one size larger than myself, the rules would say that it would only be able to carry 10 bulk before being encumbered, which is overriden by the mounted rules above, suggesting there are other (undefined) rules at play here. But, that is a level 20 companion with strength as the best stat. It is just as likely to have a 10 strength and 5 bulk (PC rules) limit while carrying a 10 or more bulk unencumbered PC and itself remaining unencumbered.

Also, if a companion has a saddle and a field collar that could already, in and of itself add up to 8 bulk to the companion BEFORE you got on.

How is having varying sizes and varying numbers of legs different from PCs?

Well, not only does it make sense that a Tiny creature cannot necessarily as much as a human, I am basing my question off of every other ruleset out there.

For instance, in Pathfinder...

There doesn't seem to be any mention on how to determine how much a companion can carry. Doesn't make sense to use the PC rules for encumbrance since they are of varying sizes, but a majority of them my have more than one set of legs that would give them an advantage there.

Please point me in the right direction if it is listed somewhere, otherwise, please provide guidance.

Thanks!
