I've seen Paizo supporting many different causes, and sometimes I had difficult time understanding the "fuzz" behind them.
Now that yet another war has resumed, I cannot find any news regarding Paizo support for Ukrainian people.
I thought that maybe Paizo is recently inactive, but I see them posting on FB regularly every few hours. There are also companies that reacted swiftly, declaring both moral support and actual donations or at least some kind of promotion, auctions, declaring profit from the product going to the victims. It's also been several days already.

We know for sure it's not the case of "avoiding politics" when it comes to Paizo. So did I miss some news or is there something wrong with Paizo's priorities?

Hey!

I'm having hard time planning a character for an Age of Ashes campaign.
Concept is Hellspawn Ratfolk, a faceless bastion of Law, investigator of humanoids' condition and a philosopher of society and order. Face role in the team with skills like Society, Diplomacy, Deception, Intimidation, Lore: Hellknight, Architecture, Legal.

So what I need is a way to obtain a Hellknight Signifer dedication with a Hellspawn Ratfolk Investigator.
If I'm correct, I'd have to:
- get Wizard Dedication with class feat first on 2/4/6 lvl to get that spellcasting class feature;
- get medium armor prof. on 2lvl with a general feat, then heavy armor prof on level 7;
- get Hellknigth Armiger dedication on level 8;

And only then I could get Signifer and his mask on level 10...

Is there a faster way to achieve that? Workaround for "spellcasting class feature" requirement or a way to make full use of a heavy armor (as Investigator gets only light and unarmed)?
I'm rather hesitant to pick Champion or Cleric dedications for heavy armor proficiency.

As I'd have to invest in heavy, I'm even willing to make a risky move with somewhat dumping Str and Dex in favor of Int and Cha (as I'd base on Devise Strategem either way).
