Am I missed the text, or did they simply not cover spell amp creation?
There are examples in the equipment that seem to signify a cost/level different compared to gems, but I can't find any formula that makes sense based on the cost/level of those examples. One reference of "one level higher" in comparison to gems, but then the examples break that.

Thanks

Greetings, I have some thoughts below and would love input if I have the wrong ideas about how it all works, thanks!

The idea is, what could be the best scouting companion
Druid - Animal Companion - Free Archetype Beastmaster
The druid is more casting focused, so many of the support benefits won't be useful.

Bird
Doesn't have darkvision, but good fly, support ability not useful for this character
Stealth skill is good option

Bat
Has echolocation as precise, although 20ft, slower fly, support ability not useful for this character
Stealth skill is good option

Cave Pterosaur
Has darkvision, good fly, and support ability can give a +2 to AC/Reflex to whoever is behind it.
Doesn't have stealth, has thievery, very situational, although funny

At earlier levels, as an Animal druid it seems like I can give a simple command, like "Fly ahead and look for anything moving, come back if in danger" and being able to talk to the animal feels like I could get a simple, animal-like response "three things moving, two-legs like you" type of thing.

At 6th level I'll get the Trance so I can see myself.

Thoughts? Thanks!

I've seen dozens of threads saying that undead are not immune to non-lethal, but also a lot of confusion on the unconscious part, but has there ever been any sort of official clarification from the staff/writers that could be pointed to for anyone who is also confused on this point?
Thank you

I searched for this but didn't see anything, so maybe it really is this simple. If I'm reading this correctly, Divine Lance would not be able to be used by a cleric with a true Neutral diety? That would be a shame as device doesn't have a lot, or any? cantrip combat options.

Sorry if this a dumb question, I could just be mixing things up in my head.

So the default text reads you get 1 SP (from the fast heal) and 1 temp HP, but then at 5th level it reads you increase the fast heal by 1 and the temp HP by 2, does that then read that the temp HP would be 3 per round? Or am I mis-reading that? Couldn't they have said "increase the temp HP by 1" if they meant it would be 2 per round?

Thanks!!

I really tried to create a medical nanocyte, as they have some abilities pointing to that, but I just couldn't do it except as a minor secondary. Even my "doctor" Envoy has so many talents that pump up his HP from medicine check.

The nanocyte Fast Heal is just too small to be effective in combat. There are several chances to bonus the Medicine skill check, but they are insight bonuses, so won't stack with any feats.

I think if there were a few more medical knacks and the FH was upped some, it could be a cool healer.

I know there is a post out there with Owen saying that unarmed is listed as a basic melee weapon so thus could be used with the arcane assailant style, however, is there anything official on this? Specifically for Society? There isn't any I can find in the Resources "against" it, but not really spelling it out as allowed either.
Thanks!

I'm curious about the +2 HP, is that just one time, you use hydroform and you get +2 HP, or is it supposed to be an enhancement like +2 per level, since they are normally a +2 HP race, but most other medium races (hydroform) are +4 minimum, it seems to make sense it could be +2 per level, but just wondering if any developers can address that.

Thanks

So I think, after much reading and asking around, that I maybe have an understanding, but please correct me if I'm wrong, because this doesn't seem quite right.

So the 4th level item, Domestic Drone.
It is like a level 1 drone with level 1 capabilities of a mechanic. i.e. Master Control, Skill Unit, Limited AI, except with the modifications of each domestic drone. So as an example, the physician drone:

HP - 10
Master Control, Limited AI, Skill Unit (both Acrobatics and Medicine)
However, if they get one rank in Medicine, even with the increase of intel to 8, this means the total modifier is 3? (1+3+(-1)) So even the lowest medicine check, at 15, is not the easiest roll. And there is never any increase to this (or HP, etc) Even assisting my character on a medicine check is only a 60% change or so.

Also the Elite model says "elite models often have additional abilities and greater autonomy" I see the additional ability, but what does greater autonomy refer to?

I keep reading the physician drone is one of the better ones, but maybe I'm looking at this all wrong? Thanks!

Sorry if this isn't the right forum, but searching doesn't find any answers. I see that the battle ribbons are not society legal, was curious if they ever explain their reasons? Also is this all ribbons, or just all battle ribbons? Thanks
