<p>But honestly I'm kinda sad if that's the case. Because, well, it's supposedly a big part of the setting that there's no prophecy. That's one of the ways it was supposed to be different from other settings. I recall James saying that prophecy made things kind of boring and cliche, actually.</p>

<p>What becomes of Fate, lies firmly in the hands of the players, if they succeed, and even then it is made clear throughout the adventure that what the villains desire is not truly possible and the outcome will be less than great for anyone.</p>Calliope5431 wrote:The Raven Black wrote: It feels as if someone was trying to put prophecy back in place.

<p>The problem is that if an ability is so weak it does nothing that, to me, is the same as it not being there. </p>
<p>While Both ysoki (Starfinders lovable space rats) and ratfolk (pathfinder 2's warren dwelling sewer rats) technically HAVE an ability called cheekpouches, the version that ysoki have (a swift action to store or take out at level 1) actually changes the action economy on some things. IE spell gems. or stolen objects or picked up macguffins. </p>
<p>The pathfinder 2 version requires 3 feats and being level 9 before it really becomes usable.IE, before it really has mechanical effects. Which to me is the same thing as being Real (in an imaginary game...) before then it's like people are saying, a human in a costume. If something functions no differently than a fanny pack, then the cheek pouch is visually there in a game you don't see and its written on your character sheet in a space that it's not used. </p>
<p>And you can say - its like that because- or - it has to be that way- ...and NONE , nadda, of that changes the fact that I don't prefer the game that way. In some ways pf2 has a lot of things that are like all of starship combat, I'm annoyed because it tried to trick me with the illusion of choice but didn't deliver. </p>
<p></blockquote>As a brief lore lesson: Pathfinder ratfolk are also called Ysoki. It even states this in the Advanced Player's Guide. Ysoki is the ancestry name, and ratfolk is a colloquialism. (I question if you've done anything more than light skimming at best in regards to what you are complaining about, because this is literally stated in the first sentence of the ancestry).... </blockquote><p>Loving the cartoonish visual image of a Ysoki pulling a rifle out of it's mouth.
