Page 240: Skill Attempts
"A brief description of the skill is followed by a list of actions you can use if you’re untrained in that skill, and then the ***actions you can perform if you are trained*** in that skill"

So, if, for example, I was Untrained in Acrobatics, I simply cannot even attempt to walk across a narrow beam?

That doesn't seem right; I think I should have an outside chance of succeeding, however remote.

Hey all

New to P2, and only played some PF1 (never GM'd either edition), so I'll probably have questions to ask about the system that I'd like to ask about here.

Page 250: Society
So, unless you have Stealth 'Trained +2', you can't even attempt to mimic someone else's handwriting [Create Forgery]?

Likewise with Acrobatics and [Manoeuvre in Flight], or Athletics and [Disarm].

All are Trained skills, so if I'm not trained, I can't even attempt those [] actions? That seems a bit harsh. Surely I can attempt to (for e.g.) copy someone else's handwriting [Create Forgery], and in PF1 everyone could at least attempt a [Disarm] action (albeit you needed a Feat to be any good at it).

I was considering a house rule wherein if you were Untrained you could still attempt the above action but you roll two d20 having to choose the lowest d20 result.

Caveat: there are definitely some Trained actions you simply have to be trained at (e.g. Borrow an Arcane spell)

However, I was told this wouldn't work because that means everyone could try those actions, thus watering down the requirement to actually be Trained in the required skill.

Thanks all.

Hey all

I didn't really get into PF 1st ed, but I've heard good things about 2ed to the point I'm seriously considering buying it. One thing that puts me off is the amount of errata that's out for the core rulebook.

Is there a specific site on Paizo that I can go to be updated on how the errata is being handled? I have the site for errata listings, but I was more after the "when" it's being incorporated into the core rulebook hard copy.

Thank you.
