Pathfinder Lost Omens: Character Guide

Yay! Thank you both ^w^

Tian-dan

Vietnamese fire breath, neat.

Finally got around to reading about that Crimson Reclaimers

Even more convinced of the identity of the mysterious Patron now.

I'm not sure how broad Keeping Up Appearances is supposed to be... If an enemy intimidates you, can you roll Deception to negate the effects of Frightened against anyone who's Perception you beat?

Thanks, Sasha and Mikhail! It's great to hear these insights from you, although I'm fairly sure you couldn't have called a feat "Stiff Upper Lip" (TM) without inciting the wrath of the British people! ;)

Thank you to the creators/designers who have been here to communicate with us!

This is quite correct.

Alas. Thus is my creativity constrained by cruel reality, and Golarion forever loses a spark of genius.

Very disappointing book. The races are weak or uninteresting compared to PHB races. The new archetypes aren't very good. The feats are all weaker or too wordy.

Not a good purchase.

Iruxi and Leshies are less interesting than dwarves and halflings? Huh.

Blimey! That is true, but jolly good you noticed your error before the book went into print, eh? That's a strapping fine lad, innit? ;)

(Er, I better stop mangling the Queen's English before I commit some horrible grammatical mistake and draw the ire of our good Captain)

Hmmm... can you give any specific examples of weak or uninteresting mechanics?

Almighty Asmodeus willing, I'll get the book on Saturday, but I've already taken a good look at the contents on Archives of Nethys, and I really like what I see. Naturally there's a feat, ancestry or item I'm not so keen about, but I can honestly say I think this is a great book. My favorite is probably the Knight Reclaimant which just oozes flavor and cool abilities. I'd want to play one, but as a GM it's unlikely to happen; however, it'd be great to read the Crimson Oath aloud during gameplay! :)

I made sure to include it, so you can! And thank you for your kind words. ^_^

No horrible crimes against the Queen's English have yet been committed by your good self. Jolly good show to recognise limitations of being used to the debased colonial education, though. Carry on.

PS: Don't get too comfy. I've got my eye on you, son.

Honestly, it's so obvious that I'm almost inclined to think it must be a fake-out, that it's actually going to be someone else.

Anyone know why adding the PDF to my cart is giving me errors? This is the message I'm getting: Your request produced an error. and then I need to reload the page in order to see the prices again....

I would like to thank Paizo for including the glossary and index in 2nd edition, they're a huge help!

Thank you!!

See this thread.

Just got my copy (yay US to AU shipping), and I've noticed that the back cover is slightly bowed, which would normally bother me, but it has somehow resulted in the strangest air pocket forming between pages towards the middle of the book.

It's only noticeable when running my hand across the left-side page, from spine outward, at which point I'll hear a tiny pop and the corner of the page jumps. It's actually quite funny, to be perfectly honest, and I'm going to accept it as a little quirk.

Has anyone else experienced this with their copy, or am I lucky enough to have an entirely unique copy of an already fantastic book? =3

Mine's the same way, at least with the cover. I haven't noticed any page popping.

Something I just realized: Despite lizardfolk on cover having terbutje, terbutje isn't actually statted out in 2e yet nor do iruxi get proficiency for it.

That is disappointing for me D: Where I can inform devs about needing dat lizardfolk terbutje profiency even though weapon doesn't exist yet?

Hear hear!

On the subject of iruxi proficiencies, the rules text for their various natural weapons do not actually put any of them in a weapon group, meaning that Iruxi Unarmed Cunning technically doesn't do anything.

This feels like an issue from rules authors who aren't quite familiar with everything a weapon needs to have in 2E to be "finished" as compared to 1E, and best to nip that in the bud now.

Natural Weapons are Unarmed Attacks.

As you post your thoughts and opinions on paizo.com, please keep in mind that paizo.com isn't a forum where anonymous comments are thrown out into the void or are kept between a small social circle. The creators, authors, artists, developers, editors, and operations staff are frequently on our paizo.com forums as both participants in conversations and readers. Paizo and many other tabletop RPG companies are, from my perspective, very unique businesses in that there is substantial and meaningful opportunities for customers and fans to interact directly with the people involved in pretty much every aspect of production and operations.

"...mangling of the English language" and "I had expected Paizo to take a bit more pride in their work," does not help foster an environment where this can occur. It doesn't create a welcoming space for creators to engage and it doesn't help with productive discussion. There are ways to discuss errata or editing without assuming our editors don't care, or questioning their pride in their work.

Natural Weapons are Unarmed Attacks.

Is there are page citation or rules link somewhere you can give me that says that all unarmed attacks are in the brawling group? Because I can't find one.

Table 6-6 (Unarmed Attacks) on p. 280 list Brawling.

Monk Unarmed Attacks Table on p.159 has all the attacks in the Brawling group.

Barbarian’s Animal Instinct’s Bestial Rage’s Unarmed Attacks on p. 86 are all in the Brawling group.

Read the section on unarmed attacks on page 278, and tables 6-6 and 6-7 on page 280 in addition to Rysky's references.

So, that's a "no" then.

I know that all the unarmed attacks in the core book are in the Brawling group, but the basic rules for unarmed attacks (pg 278) say that unarmed attacks "can" belong to a weapon group, not that they must - and it definitely doesn't specify which group that is.

I've no doubt that the iruxi weapons are supposed to be in the Brawling group, but it doesn't change the fact that - as written, without errata or similar - they aren't.

This shouldn't be too surprising, since I've met some people on Earth who had weapons-grade breath . . . .

... they are.

You’re not going to find any rule stating “[weapon] always belongs to [group]”.

Every single type of Unarmed Attack introduced belongs to the Brawling group. Find a rule that says otherwise.

Are these options PFS legal yet?

That link leads to tie product page of this very product...

Here is where I think she intended to link.

I haven't been able to locate an answer (or even the question) anywhere else, so I wanted to clarify: the sun blade focus spell still does full damage on a miss?

No it doesn't. Here's the link.

So I'm curious, what are the 10 new Heritages they're offering here? I'd like to have some idea what I'm looking at before I decide on whether or not to order this, since I already have the Ancestry Guide.

Well at this point they’re not “new”, you can search them up on Archives of Nethys :3
