Hello all! When we were creating characters tonight, several points were noticed. Not all of these strictly pertained to character creation.
1) A bard’s versatile performance doesn’t really seem to help. It only helps with one aspect of each of the skills, basically meaning you still need to train those skills anyways in order to fully benefit from them. They use the same ability (Cha). In my opinion, VP should cover all aspects of Diplomacy, Intimidation and Deception.
2) Katanas should have two handed weapon damage. I mean it’s a Katana. They are used that way.
3) Giving bards Magic Missile was a great start. I feel like bards should get a few more damaging spells in their lists. It feels like there are even less of those than in PF1.
4) Rogues get too many skill points. They should be about on the same level as bards.
5) Spell Rolls should be explained in the spell chapter and not just in the glossary at the back.
6) The Barbarian’s Rage Resistances should be explained that it’s a level 9 addition in its initial entry on page 56. The way all those abilities are written now, it seems like you get them all at once rather than at different levels.
7) Separate Spells and Spell Powers please? (Mentioned a couple of times in my group, although I’m ok with it.)
8) Resonance points likely should be based on prime stat and not just Cha. Consumables are not just for bards and paladins.
9) What happened to surprise rounds? I ran into this one at Gen Con where one of my groups set up an ambush and didn’t alert the enemy. (This was a great rule for PFS 1 and I’d like to see it in PFS 2).
10) Unarmoured Defense? Barbarians should get this too along the same lines as the monk ability. Maybe with Constitution as the stat used for this.
11) I feel like AoO could apply to other classes like Barbarians and Rogues and not just fighters..
12) Why isn’t Lore a Specialized skill for bards? (Yes you’d have to pick a type of lore, but still...)
