A red flag I have seen (and previously been guilty of) in a lot of “historical+fantasy” home brews in the dehumanizing of non-white cultures by wholly representing them with fantasy races. Like Golarion, humans of all cultures should exist, but live alongside fantastical creatures in a sensible way (depending on magic level of your setting).
To introduce a square-rectangle argument, it is ok to have all Tengu be from Japan (ancestrally), but not ok for only Tengu to be in Japan.
Your setting should sidestep many of these issues easily.
The Witcher universe could be a good lower-fantasy model, where monsters/non-humans are mostly outside of and forced into direct opposition with human society. Could make the dark Germanic forests that much scarier, like some brothers Grimm folklore.

Also, if they are interested in drowning people, I assume they have take the “breath control” general feat (CRB)? Puts their underwater time to crazy levels and written well enough to blend with your stance bonus. They will be able to swim underwater for at least 25 minutes by my count.

If you want this type of thing I suggest get rid of the increased level of success, bake in some requirements that it targets the Weapon which was used to attack, and impose a -2 Circumstance Penalty to the next Strike that PC makes before the end of their next turn.

With that, I'd put it at around a level 8.

I agree with this assessment. If the proper restrictions are in place this sounds like a level 6 or level 8 ability. I don't think swashbuckler is a good comparison, I found their higher level feats don't seem to stack up against other classes.

This is completely self serving, but you could check this out. No Investigator yet, but Rogue is currently available up to level 6. Work still in progress.

Thank you. It did take a while.
After I get to Level 20 with CRB I plan to start adding APG and some other options. Not at the point where I can even scope out how much work that will be yet.
I can say Level 14 will probably be done by the end of this year and Level 20 by end of Q1 next year.
Good suggestion on drop downs. Not sure if/when I will look into how much it would take to rework that.

I thought about this recently, but my solution may be a little more specific to my situation.

I am converting Wrath of the Righteous to 2e and approaching an Encounter with a Mythic Chimera. I was thinking of rolling initiative giving a turn to the Dragon head, then giving a second slot for the lion head at initiative -10 with 2 actions. Finally, the Goat head will get a third initiative -20 slot with 1 action.

I like your management of the multi-action activities here. Good way to telegraph a big boss strike is coming.

I’ve had trouble finding a digital character builder to help me stat out Pathfinder 2E characters as both a GM and a very indecisive player. So I made my own and want to provide it to anyone who is interested.

Tabletop Unchained is a quick, easy to use Excel File for new and experienced players. It takes you through the steps of Character Creation quickly by only displaying what matters based on your prior choices. At the end, you are given a character sheet that organizes your Combat Abilities, Exploration Feats, and Social Actions into different sections to reduce the amount of page flipping required during play.

You can also level up your character, transferring information from Character Creation to higher level choices and Multiclass Dedication Feats. All bonuses to your abilities will be updated automatically and feats improving on related actions will all be collected in one place. As of September 2020, you can bring your character up to Level 6, with expansion to Level 14 planned before the end of the year.

For Game Masters and players that like to explore their options, Tabletop Unchained will save you hours of flipping through rulebooks and tedious math. For most other players, Tabletop Unchained will reduce Leveling up your character to a few minutes and produce a fully updated sheet.

Full Disclosure: Because of coding expediency and space considerations, I had to edit some items to condense wording and simplify calculuations. I’m aiming for about 90-95% Pathfinder Rules Compliance. Also, some Spells are described correctly but edited down, since I did not have the space to describe every Spell’s Critical Failure results and spell interactions with specific creatures.

Further Disclosure: Only Core Rulebook options are available right now. Additionally, the Summoning Tab only considers monster abilities from Bestiary 1.
