Honestly, I really like the imagery of the nanocyte taking an item and their nanites come pouring it and eating the tech item. Or the nanocyte dumping a bunch of UPB's on a table, letting them out and going, "Time to eat, my friends!"

But for my it seems weird to have the investment value reset. I'm more in favor of a max value equal for their investment equal to some percentage of the WBL table (say 50%) and you can get to that value either by feeding the nanites straight UPBs and get the full value or the nanites can eat a piece of gear and get 10% of its value.

I also like the scenes that play out in my head of the nanocyte learning that piece of gear they just ate as a form, but they forget how to do an older piece of gear.

And like Zilvar 2k11 said, we shouldn't punish the players for being creative. Plus just imagine doing a mystery game with a nanocyte as your villain...

Also, if your investment didn't reset, just imagine the nanocyte saboteur!

So short version:
I like a max investment value for level
I like being able to increase that value rather than have to replace it all at once
I like being able to trade out a previously known form with a piece of gear you just found.

I'm wondering who has misread a particular rule and ended up having a better (or at least more enjoyable) result because of it.

For example, while running last night, I couldn't find how many charges wands were supposed to have. This came up because the druid had a 1st level wand of heal and wanted to use it to heal up the party's tank, a monk. So, I ran it as: As long as it is on your spell list, you need to spend a point of Resonance each time you cast the spell from your wand.

It wasn't until afterward I found the rule buried that wands have 10 charges, but everyone at the table was really happy with wands working that they just needed to spend Resonance to cast the spell if it was already on their spell list.

I also remembered that the 3.5 Eberron setting had a similar item called eternal wands that let the user use the spell in it unlimited times over the life of the item, but only so many times per day (3 if I recall correctly).

I'm going to have to be in the camp that is for adding in Stamina for PF2. Having played Starfinder with a small group over the last several months without anyone playing a class that can do any kind of healing (technomancer, operative, mechanic), Stamina is great.

As a kind of balance between Starfinder's stamina model and the desire to keep healers relevant, what if PCs had a Stamina pool, determined as it is in Starfinder, but they did not have Resolve points to recover during a short rest, but they did recover to full after a full rest and different classes did have abilities that interacted with stamina points.

Alchemist - some mutagens give temporary stamina points
Barbarian - give a string of class feats that give temporary stamina points while raging, but at a cost of a higher exhaustion during their down round
Bards - compositions/spells/ or an ability using their Spell points to restore stamina
Fighter - they have a class feat available that 1/day can restore stamina points, perhaps equal to their level
Monk - class feat that modifies wholeness of body to restore stamina as well
Rangers - a class feat modifying hunt target to regain a small amount of stamina for dispatching their target
Sorcerer - have an option for them to gain a lesser version of the bard's ability for those with an occult bloodline
Wizard - as has been suggested by others, give the abjurers an ability to give temporary stamina points

Actually, another possibility for the Cinderlands in Eberron is Talenta Plains. There are portions of it that are more prone to prairie fire than the Great Plains here on earth. Plus, its right against the desert of blades (I think that's what its called). So you can throw in border disputes between the valenar and the Talenta. Trust me, the last thing you want after you is a halfling barbarian mounted on a clawfoot. I let someone use that as a cameo PC and it was just plain nasty.

At least that's where I would be having the Cinderlands
