<p>Seriously, that's why I play and love my flames oracle. The second I saw the description of the curses I was like "ohhh I gotta play this." </p>
<p>Working around the curse can be awkward largely because of the extra 'unused' focus point that's stuck there after the first time you use a focus spell (so archetyping into something that gives another focus spell is nice), but so far I don't feel myself to be weak. In fact the flames oracle focus spell has come in clutch many many times and I often pull it out in most fights unless the situation is unsuited for it. Helps that I have an alchemist in the party who is very happy to lob an alchemist's fire after I set up the aura and get into position (I took the toughness feat so I'm a bit better suited to being in the front area too) </p>
<p>Granted, the flames oracle curse also isn't too bad, but also that's because my GM gave me some extra fire spells to add to my list because dear goodness lord is being required to take a feat to have more than 1 spell that interacts with your curse a massive bummer (shoutout to the tempest oracles who have it even worse off) (Really hoping they fix this in the remaster <3 )</p>The vibes are immense.

<p>There's jpg like pixel compressions all over the place.</p>

<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/QXjDtZ1.png" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Because I'm unsure if I'm allowed to post a screenshot of my pdf's cover page, just to play it safe, I'll only do a small snippet for comparison. If you're unsure what the difference is, an obvious spot to look at is where different colours meet. Look at the highlight on the top of Ayrzul's snout for example. That bright line looks a lot more blocky on my version.</a> The cracks in the skulls are blurrier and less sharp. You can also see lots of compression in the background colours, it's more blurred together where in the product image you can see how there's more solid shapes of the brush strokes. And bear in mind, this is just the cover art. The very first image you'd see. And one where you have an obvious reference of another image. Disregard the different 'width' of it since that's clearly just because of the perspective effect on the product image.</p>
<p>Perhaps it's because I'm an artist myself, and often commission other artists, and the fact that I buy these PDFs 70% for the art, that I notice these compressions and pixellations more than Aaron might? It's like an image that's been shared around so often it's gone through more than just a few jpg compressions (compared to other PDFs I bought where it's much more minor and what I'd expect because I know compressions have to happen). </p>
<p>I've already sent my concerns to the team which had the "<b>We are aware it's an issue</b> and it's being looked into" response, so I don't know if sending anything in again wouldn't be adding much, I'm sure the other artists would know how obvious these issues are and I feel like pointing it out to them like a child might be almost condescending, but if it might help, maybe I can send in another concern again later this week if just because I'm concerned that the issue might have been dismissed due to Aaron's dismissive responses. </p>
<p>I'd have to echo the other notions of being hesitant to buy these in the future if this is the new standard of quality. I can get the lore (the 30% of what I buy these books for) from elsewhere.

Even though Oracles are still hard locked due to their curse, he's multiclass sorc so he can use that focus spell at least. I wonder if they'll address Oracle's awkward focus spell cap with this too?</p>
<p>To clarify, by awkward I mean this:
<br />
When an Oracle casts one of their focus spells which is Cursebound, their curse goes up to minor.
<br />
If they cast another, it goes up to Moderate.
<br />
HOWEVER, when resting, the curse only 'restores' back to Minor level, and won't fully heal back until a full proper rest. </p>
<p>This means that you really have to make sure to spend 2 focus points in the first fight of the day that you spend one, because after that, you're hard locked to always only casting one, since you cannot progress past Moderate without bunting yourself, so effectively you only have 1 focus point for every combat after the first that you spent one in. Which means it highly encourages multiclass archetyping into something else with focus spell. </p>
<p>I guess I feel its kinda an awkward design? So I'm super curious to know if that would be looked at thanks to this update.</p>My gm already implemented this in our game, which is awesome for my character.
