Any word on Dhampir lineages?Adhyabhau (vetalarana), Cel Rau (strigoi), and Ru-Shi (jiang-shi)
Exactly what I was hoping for!
Do Kitsune have any options for mimicking other people, like PF1's "Realistic Likeness"?
Yes, the 5th level ancestry feat Shifting Faces lets you do something like that.
Any word on the Aasimar lineages? We've heard from the APG's other 4 versatile heritages on that front. I'm curious to hear which new lineages we're getting for them.
I think there are only three missing Aasimar lineages: Agathion-, Peri- and Garuda-Blooded. As much as I'm hoping from Manasaputra-Blooded Aasimar, I'm thinking it's going to be those three.

It's definitely more restricted/balanced. It's 1/day, for one hour. So no more replacing somebody long-term for now.

What did tiefling get? I know they have the Riftmarked (new qlippoth which, good, the Motherless were neat but felt really old-edgy and we're a really hard sell to actually play as)

What? D: I don't think Motherless were THAT edgy or hard to sell. I mean who doesn't want to play weird alien abominations?
(please don't tell me they toned down weirdness factor of qlippoth tieflings x'D)
I've heard murmurs of a few feats that allow access to certain animal companions, can anyone spoil that a little?
Damphir can make their Animal Companion or Familiar Undead.
Hobgoblin can make their AC trained in Intimidation and give you free aid to Intimidation when it uses the support action.
And Orc with the Beastmaser archetype can gain access to the riding drake from the apg and +2 to make an impression checks vs creatures with the Dragon trait.

I'm referring less to their appearance, which rules, and the whole... "You exploded your mother in childbirth" thing. No clue what has changed with appearance, if anything, but the name makes it sound like that may be the same?

Interesting. I was kind of expecting, and hoping, that the Hungerseed Tiefling would have made it in here. I assumed with the Oni (and other Tian-Xia creatures) getting love in the upcoming Bestiary 3, as well as having the Ru-Shi Dhampir in this book, that the Oni-Spawn would have been added here.

Reading the Geniekin entry has me slightly excited for the future of the Heritage. It mentions that the five options presented are just some of the most common kinds of Geniekin in Golarion. This gives me hope for the potential to see other kinds down the line, which represent some of the alternate elements present within the multiverse; such as Aether, Void, Metal (arguably an aspect of Earth), Wind (arguably just Air), Wood, and Spirit.
Aether, Void, Metal (arguably an aspect of Earth), Wind (arguably just Air), Wood, and Spirit.
Yup to all of that, including that Metal and Wind would probably be lineages, or even just a feat for Wind.
Void seems like a great option for that Negative Energy planar scion I theorized on the other thread, as does wood for first world.

Nice picture. No text. Refers to an email they apparently sent out. I'm supposed to be getting those emails, but I'm not. Paizo still hasn't fixed whatever the problem is with that. :-(

The e-mail had pretty much the same text as this post. The most important part is that we get the web supplement on February 27th.

Disclaimer in the interest of hopefully not being misunderstood: I have no special knowledge about this and am posting my personal opinion as a fan of geniekin, the elemental planes, and the unofficial planescape-adjacent para-geansi and quasi-genasi for no reason other than my desire to discuss possible new geniekin with other fans of them.
I am a big fan of the heritage/lineage framework of PF2 and think these elements fit within this framework as lineages for the five existing geniekin heritages. If I were creating them as geniekin lineages, I would create them as follows:
Aether and Spirit: Lineages for Suli
Void: Lineage for Sylph
Metal and Wood: Lineages for Oread
I would not create a wind lineage for sylph as I believe it aligns with the base sylph. I would potentially not create a metal lineage either for the same reason.
I agree that Void would be a good lineage to pick up on the negati/negative element geniekin. I would also note that the negative quasi-elemental plane of air was vacuum, which is my reasoning for choosing sylph instead of suli for a void lineage.

I think someone needs to check their calander on this date. It's a Saturday, and though its possible for them to do it differently, they have never put anything out on a Saturday before. I can hope though.
The posting may be in error, but that is the date that they put out.

The date in the email was an error. We plan to release the free PDF on Wednesday, February 24, not the 27th.

Looking forward to the azarketi more than I thought I would be. On stream Luis has said the race is sort of a glimpse to how kineticist might look in 2e.
|
The Inured azarketi ancestry and Reyhydrate azarketi feat make me wonder if something got left out of the ancestry rules about having to return to water periodically. Then I noticed there are no hp or ancestry ability modifiers and am assuming that info is all coming in the web supplement, which seems weird. Im guessing the City of Lost Omens getting pushed back threw things for a loop.
Reading eagerly, beautiful book!

The Azarketi Ancestry rules are supposed to premiere in the Absolom book that has been delayed and currently has no release date. The Ancestry Guide was originally meant to come out after the Absolom book. But, Paizo is releasing a PDF on the 24th of this month that will have the Azarketi Ancestry information that is in the Absolom book. See above where everyone is talking about when the PDF will release.

Looks good so far, but I have to mention... "Uncommon" is misspelled every time it's used on pages 6-7.

Hm. The description of Azarketi in the Ancestry Guide seems just as comprehensive as the other new ancestries in that book. So I'm curious to see what additional information is in this pdf.

I'm expecting the information on the basic Azarketi ancestry, some heritages and feats.
My detective work leads me to believe that the supplement will have ancient scale, benthic, mistbreath, river and thalassic as the other Azarketi heritages.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
From their definitions, benthic refers to the depths of the ocean, while thalassic refers to smaller or inland seas (as opposed to the ocean).
I see also that gillmen with hair are rarer than I thought, as the description of the Usena ethnicity mentions their hair as an exception.
I am wondering how throwback gillmen will work in PF2 if they work at all, as my current PF1 PC has a cohort of that type. The Adopted Ancestry feat won't cover it as Azarketi is not a common ancestry. I would assume that his father is a human sailor from the Inner Sea, while his mother is an Azarketi of mostly Inzenti blood who inherited her hair from an Usena ancestor.

I just realized that with this book, I can create a Ganzi Kitsune Oracle of Ancestors and become a master of all the tails. They could all throw foxfire and work independently stealing stuff. Between the Ganzi influence in his DNA, all the tails acting independently, and the ancestors invading my character's mind (many of whom probably were Ganzi or Chaotic Outsiders themselves, not to mention Kitsune tricksters), it feels like there is almost no choice but to make his alignment Chaotic. Even if he was Lawful, others would perceive "his" actions as chaotic.
I am SO making this character! :)

Ganzi Ancestor oracle, your 3 spirits are a protean, a valkyrie, and an einherji created from a "victim" of the valkyrie. :P

Well, after about a week I think, I've finally read all the pages I took screenshots of from the Know Direction stream. Now I just need my order to clear so I can finish.
In regards to the Geniekin and further elemental variance, I had a post typed up that didn't go through for some reason, so I'll paraphrase the best I can.
The elements in Pathfinder's multiverse react to not only each other, but a number of other energies and quintessense present within them. The main secondary elements of ice, lightning, magma, and mud have largely been covered by lineages for the Rimesoul Undine, Stormsoul Sylph, Lavasoul Ifrit, and Miresoul Oread respectively.
Of those suggested, Metal and Wind are likely alternate perspectives or aspects of Earth and Wind, through the lens of non-Inner Sea cultures. These could easily be further lineages (Ferroussoul/Ironsoul and Zephyrsoul/Galesoul?).
Along with the secondary elements, there are a number of others that stem from the primary elements interacting with the other Inner Planes. Aether, or pure force, comes from the elements interacting and mixing with the Ethereal Plane. Void a result of the life quenching powers of the Negative Energy Plane. And Wood from the nurturing potential of the First World. All completely capable of serving as individual heritages imo.
There is also Spirit, which I haven't seen defined. My guess it the life-giving properties of the Postive Energy Plane, which gives rise to souls. There's also the possibility of the Astral and Shadow Planes also giving rise to unique elements, given their relation to the other Inner Planes and the fact that most of these other examples are Transative Planes as well. Not sure what exactly these could be; Shadow could be Shadow or Darkness as an elemental matter, but I feel like that creates the need for Light element, so I'm not sure.

Shadow is somewhat of a mirror to the First World (arguably the other way around, but whatever), in that it is a copy of the material plate, but deeply infused with negative energy the same way the First World exudes Vitality and positive energy. Void I think comes from here; the negative/air admixture might more properly have been called vacuum, though I would have to check what has been written in PF2 to know for sure.
Edit: derp, apparently negative/air IS vacuum, form Jessica’s post. I had thought she said it was void.
| 5 people marked this as a favorite. |
Void, as I stated, is a mixture of the Elements and the matter for which the Negative Energy Plane is made. This comes directly from page 6 of the PF1 Occult Origins book, wherein the topic of discussion is the Chaokineticist, who channel and manipulate this element through their kenesis. This is canon, so it's origins isn't a question of interpretation here.
The relationship between the Shadow Plane is more a direct, albeit shadowy, reflection of the Material Plane; whilst the First World serves as the Material Planes prototype. The Material and Shadow Planes are more related than the Shadow Plane and First World. In fact, it is suggested that the First World eventually split into the Material and Shadow Planes, and, while existing coterminously to the other two, sits outside of standard cosmology and exists more behind the other two rather than next to them.
To that end, the Positive Plane is to the Negative Plane as the Material is to the Shadow. Which is to say, the Positive Energy Plane serves as the metaphysical center of the Material Plane, just as the Negative Energy Plane is the center of the Shadow Plane. This is why stars serve as direct portals to the Positive Energy Plane. That said, it is probable that the elements mixing with the Shadow Plane would simply be Void as well; since the Shadow Plane is basically a manifestation of the Negative Energy Plane. In which case, I'd suggest then that maybe the Spirit Element is likely a result of the Elements mixing with the Astral Plane instead of the Postive Energy Plane; since it basically is the Material Plane in a roundabout way.
For its part, the First World serves as more of a conduit for the souls; which travel from the Positive Energy Plane, through the First World (which creates fey in their passing), and eventually to the Material Plane. A confusing thought considering the relations of the other planes, but such is the way of cosmology I suppose. Just using what has been directly stated as a means of explaining my thoughts on the matter of further Geniekin and their possible relation and origin. I haven't read every Pathfinder book cover to cover (yet), so I'm hardly an expert of it or Golarion.
EDIT: Want to ensure this doesn't come off defensive or anything. I realize when I post it sometimes comes off as such. I just enjoy discussing the matters. Pathfinders deities/philosophies, magic, and cosmology (and their relatable topics) are some of my favorite things to research in Pathfinder.
Maybe it'll get a mention in the upcoming Mwangi book? Or is that a bit more south than what is covered?*Gets to the Lizardfolk section*

It is further south, but I wouldn't be surprised if a bit of new info was in there, unless Droon is far from the Mwangi Expanse.

It’s probably gonna be another tease that’s gonna make me want it even more.
I really hope that books eventually come out for locals outside the Inner Seas particularly Southern Garund and Arcadia
