Ok, so I'm part of a party, we're level 3, and we fought a level 19 free hand fighter and I realized the reversal ability of the free hand fighter is ridiculous.
Is it really intended to be that is Character A attacks Enemy B (the free hand fighter) using reversal he can redirect the attack to Bystander C?
That makes no sense. Is this just a non-intended use of the a poorly written ability?

As the title implies, I want to take an animal as my cohort (a hawk specifically) and nothing in the rules states I can't.
Thoughts?

So I just got 'People of the Stars' and started reading through the races outlined in it (gotta say I am a huge fan of the Kasatha design) and realized that none of the races have any physical statistics or outlined age categories.
The Androids entry mentioned they 'live' for roughly a century and then their soul or whatever leaves their shell and a new one moves in and the Kasatha mention their adolescent quests but that's it.
I understand that since this is a Player's Companion that not all the non-game mechanic details could make it in, but when I started thinking about making a character with any of these races I couldn't decide on a personality, habits, quirks or flaws because I couldn't come up with an age.
Also, I know that all the races in this book are medium-sized, but how tall are the Lashunta compared to Humans, heck the man and women of that race are called out specifically for being drastically different.
Again, I apologize for running on for so long, and I could just make a character and say they are middle-aged and average height and enjoy the experience just fine, but character weight and height come up often in the games I'm a part of, so it bothers me slightly.
If anyone could alleviate my concerns I would very much appreciate it.

Ok, so it has been brought to my attention that class specific items do not work with archetypes because the archetype switches out the class feature they interact with. My thought was that the item functions with the new class feature as normal, am I wrong?

example:
A 10th level Two-Handed Fighter picks up Gloves of Dueling and Sash of the War Champion.
The gloves grant a +2 bonus to weapon training and the sash treats your fighter level 4 higher for bravery and armor training.

Since the fighter at 10th level would have weapon training 2, armor training 2 and bravery +3; the archetype would change it to two-handed weapons training 2, overhand chop and back swing, and shattering strikes +3.
With the equipment would the two-handed weapons training gain the +2 bonus, would he gain access to the piledriver class feature, and would shattering strikes increase to +4?
