Hi all, just a quick question about Flowing Spirit Strike. If only one attack hits, is the damage all still dealt as spirit damage? I ask this because, as written, the description says "If both attacks hit, you combine their damage, which is all dealt as spirit damage." but nothing about if only one hits. This seems up to interpretation to me but would like some second opinions.

Right okay gotcha. So theoretically in a cheesy scenario, how would using free archetype rules affect that build? Because you wouldn't be able to pick up a free feat level two since you've already taken up wizard dedication level 1 via the ancient elf. Would you go versatile human level 1 and take up wizard dedication feat level 2?

i suppose it's a question of however you want to play, but I'm just trying to think of it in as cheesy way as possible to get as many class feats as i could with free archetype rules

Reason I’m asking is because I’m still fairly new to pf2e and I’m trying to understand the rationale behind the choice

A sample build though,

Ancient elf - wizard

1) patron's puppet, nimble elf
2) basic lesson - life
3) adopted ancestry - human
4) enhanced familiar
5) natural ambition - cauldron or cackle
6) archetype casting, archetype conceal spell or ceremonial dagger
7) tough
8) spirit familiar or incredible familiar (opens option for a spellslime to ignore boss crits), or see 6)
9) multitalented - psychic
10) doubles double, major lesson (raise dead), or see 8)
11) fleet
12) hex focus, expert archetype casting or see 10)
13) elf step
14) see 12)
15) canny acumen
16) effortless concentration or see 14)
17) unwavering mein
18) master archetype casting or see 16)
19) Incredible Initiative
20) patron's truth

Eh, rough around the edges but it'll do. If wizard isn't your jam, anything else will also work. Rogue and gunslinger can even provide master reflex/perception if you want or you can go alch to nail that brewing witch flavor.

Forgive me, I understand a bit rough around the edges but what's the reason for you suggesting psychic multitalent at level 9? What's the tangible benefit aside from getting access to an amped cantrip?
