Also, no Leshys...? I get that such would interfere with romances for that run, but we can probably make do (and I'd actively prefer...) if we could also play matchmaker with companions.

The FAQ says that there are Leshy NPCS, but Leshy PCs have weird body types which interferes with the way they make armor appear on the miniature.

Which is a shame, because usually animations are the reasons to restrict body types and those don't really exist.

Exemplar isn't anymore main character syndrome than any of the other hundred ways your character gained special powers like oracle and sorcerer.

"I was chosen by the GODS to be the Chosen One!" is a bit more main character than "I play music really good!" or "Grandma loved a dragon". ^^

Which would imply the oracle attracts the worst Main Character Symndrome players.

(this better not be paizo agreeing that "you know, some comments about there being too many gods is true, time to cull them" x'D)

I think this post by James Jacobs seems to to alleviate this specific fear.

What I am not in love with, though, is "quantum" as a catch-all word for "weird science-y stuff,"

I know. And that isn't limited to just Starfinder. If anything, Starfinder is just following the pattern of loose language shown by the general public in turning the word 'quantum' into a buzzword.

A 'quantum' in quantum physics means 'a specific amount of energy'. An electron only exists at certain discrete values of energy. So to move from one energy state to another, the electron will accept a particular specific amount of energy (a quantum of energy) in order to make the change. Too little energy and it would ignore it and not change. Too much energy and it would also ignore it and not change.

I'm a software engineer and I have absolutely no idea why 'quantum computers' are named that other than because it was a cool weird futuristic science-y name for a computer that is so far only hypothetically able to be built. The description of a quantum computer doesn't seem to have anything to do with how much energy it takes to operate.

Actually, "Quantum" in physics refers to essentially anything that has to do with quantum machanics (which started from the observation that various things that were assumed to be continuous are in fact discrete, hence the name). This includes quantum superposition, quantum entanglement, quantum teleportation, and indeed quantum computer (which is a concept that only makes sense because of quantum mechanics).

I do agree that the term is way overused though, and my pedantic part would definitely like it to be reigned back.

Waitasecond... "a penultimate Adventure Path volume"?? Are you ending the Adventure Paths?? Or is it a case of penultimate volume in AN Adventure Path??? Do tell... :(

Penultimate for Blood Lords, the next adventure path has already been announced.

Don't be afraid to have a second playtest as needed for further debugging.

I think they've locked themselves into a timetable that wouldn't allow them to do this without pushing back the book so this seems very unlikely.

Given a choice between insufficient testing and pushing back on the delivery, I am very much in favor of pushing back on the delivery.

Do you really though? Because burning more man months on a book eats almost strictly out of Paizo's probably not enormous profit margins and may result in significant long term damage to the quality of other products.

I moved critical recovery down a lot earlier (12th) and there is a new capstone. So the class has 2 ways to recover ki (one is built in, critical recovery) and you can take ki vampirism. You can take the Extra Ki feat. You've got options there.

-X

If critical recovery is moving to a more common level, it would be nice if it would be made more attractive for high crit multiplier weapons.

Also, for the sake of scythe stalkers, can we get a stalker discipline that supports 2 handed weapons? (I know they technically work with Steel Serpent, but they aren't discipline weapons and it is a save heavy discipline)

No, it isn't, because (reptilian) is a "subtype that indicates type" (humanoid, in this case).
