Yeah, I haven't gotten any emails from Paizo in quite a while either.Preview images of the android rare ancestry have now been sent out via email and on social media. Subscribe to our emails to get a first look at our next preview next Saturday!Not to me they haven't. :-( I suppose this is probably related to the problem I've had getting email installments of Liane Merciel's tale. Ah, well, waiting is...
Indeed. We have an opt-in bug and I am looking forward to it being resolved since one of my goals is is to increase the size of the email list. But I'm sharing the images on social media so no one feels burned. Thanks for your patience.

Do you have a link to said socials I am highly interested in the android ancestry and would love to get a gander and maybe use it alongside the Guns and Gears Playtest.

Not gonna lie, I thought the pic on the right was that of some sort of medusa pc/ancestry -- until I zoomed in & saw the circuitry 'tattoos'...

You know, something else Paizo did with races in the 1E Advanced Race Guide, was that they created playable stats for Lizardfolk and Gnolls and we know they have already released Lizardfolk in 2E and Gnolls will be in the forthcoming Mwangi Expanse. In the Advanced Race Guide, they also statted up playable Centaurs, Driders, Gargoyles, and Ogres. I doubt we would ever get Driders before Drow, if ever, but it is something to consider... and Gargoyles do have wings (just sayin').
Also, with the new monsters as playable ancestries angle, we also already got Hobgoblins and we know we are getting Sprites and Fleshwarps, too. So, what if 1 or more of the remaining ancestries we don't know also have Bestiary entries, like Nymphs, Axiomites, Xulgaths, Minotaurs, Satyrs, Boggards, or something? (I'm staying away from the aquatic creatures since we know Azarketi are the aquatic ancestry getting support in this book)
Gargoyles would be insane. I would be very into that, lol. Still doubt it'll happen but if it did, big win for ol gaulin
Hm. Here on this boring planet Earth there is, so far as we know, exactly one sentient species. On Golarion there are what, a couple of dozen? That's... surprising.
Yeah and humans on Earth are a result of evolution, while races on Golarion were created by gods, I assume
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
Also, Golarion has Aiudara gates to other worlds, confirmed alien crash landings, manufacturedand frequent travel to and from other planes of existence, artificially constructed life-forms, and creatures derived from magic and alchemy - both intentionally and accidentally created from carefully controlled experiments and from mutations out in the wild.

Driders are technically Fleshwarps, so...
Also, Gargoyles as an Ancestry would be COOL!

I feel like I should clear up this often made misunderstanding, so I shall do so :D
Sentience means that you are capable of perceiving, experiencing and feeling things subjectively. Aka, LOT of animals are sentient, non sentient being wouldn't be capable of feeling pain and would essentially be automaton that does things on reaction without brain function.
Its what the whole basis of animal rights is based on and why animal cruelty is a crime :p And why its debated on whether lobsters are sentient and capable of feeling pain when boiled alive.
Sapience on otherhand is what people usually mean when they use word "sentient"... In otherwords, whether organism possesses self-awareness, consciousness and ability to think, ability to have "wisdom" so to speak. Ability to think and use knowledge and past experiences to do new things.
...And if you paid attention to that and know lot of animal trivia, you'd know that "wait a check, cetaceans, cephalopods and corvids all fit that description!" and yes, dolphins, crows and octopi are (in debatable sense, it depends on who you ask because humans don't really like to think hard on whether putting sapient beings on aquarium, eating them or treating them as pests is ethical :p) sapient as well ;D
(but seriously, point was that even when people don't confuse sentience and sapience with each other, they usually don't realize that humans aren't by definition of sapience the only species on this planet that qualifies. Debatably of course depending on which researcher your ask ;p Its whole reason why its debated on if alien life exists, whether humanity would be even capable of acknowledging other lifeforms as "intelligent" as intelligence takes many different forms.)

That's silly, everyone knows humans are the third most intelligent species on the planet, after mice and dolphins.

Ed is correct that there is only one intelligent species on Earth. He never said that humans were that species. ;)

Yeah, I shouldn't have used the word "sentient". Sloppy of me. OTOH, according to my dictionary "sapient" means "a member of the human species", so that doesn't really cut it either. I think what I was looking for is "reasoning". Although I've met quite a few humans over the years who don't seem able - or willing - to do that.

I mean, if you had meant that there is only one human species(currently, as the other ones are extinct) on earth, then that would have been about right, can't find dozens of them on Golarion :D (though yeah, humanity leads well to all forms of jokes about unwise behavior)
Still though seriously though, besides my pet peevee of sentient/sapient confusion, I am actually bit surprised at your surprise about there being dozen intelligent species on golarion. I mean, bestiaries have hundreds of them in total, most of them aren't even playable. Like any fantasy setting with intelligent monsters has by definition lot of sapient species.

If it helps, there used to be multiple species of humans living on earth at the same time. Archeological evidence suggests that we might have eaten at least one of them.
Golarian and the other multispecies fantasy worlds might be a alternate dimensions where that did not take place.

Character building is going to feel so lush after this book comes out ^_^
Can weeee get a glimpse of how long the new races can live for? Hoping we get a few more spoilers like that before the books out

Interesting find as I'm flipping through books and AoN: Sinspawn are considered Fleshwarps, which I had forgotten about. Would be fun to play.
I hope that previews will be coming soon.
So would a stitched together Fleshwarp character have negative healing trait and be considered sort of undead like the Dhampir?
That would cover a sort of undead type ancestry or maybe we'll just get Mortics which would be neat
If I were to hazard a guess on the last four ancestry/heritages it would be: Ganzi, Aphorite, Strix, and Samsaran. I base this guess on what aligns with products that have released and those that have been announced. Along with the various teases by the paizo staff. I'm probably incorrect but thought I'd guess just the same. :)
Part of me holds out hope that the Wayang makes it, but sometimes it seems like I'm the only fan of them around.

Luis teased Cactus leshies in the Know Direction discord!
Oh damn!! That's awesome. Aaanything else?
The preview images on Twitter this week from Paizo was the Aasimars, with one of the two images there was an Aasimar with colorful wings and head-wings. Perhaps something akin to the Coatl?
COuld be like plumekin from first edition

As a Final Fantasy 14 player, I imagine a Cactus Leshy Giant Barbarian (with the feats for growing larger) who has the Gambler background and is named "Mr. Manderville"

My idea as a digimon fan is a giant barbarian with either the monk or the martial artist dedication and be a togemon

I'm just excited to see more art of the existing uncommon ancestries!
I am featuring new art every week in email and social media for them all, which will take us long past the release date obviously. Have to showcase them to the world! We also have a preview blog, short fiction, and free NPCs blogs planned.
Well, I guess with the Aroden's Eye weekly email showcasing the Aphorite today, that seems to confirm them for the Ancestry Guide. Also, with their appearance in that book, I think it is safe to surmise that the Ganzi will also be in the book. Appropriate with the Mwangi Expanse book coming out this year, I think, since the Ganzi were introduced back in 1st edition in the Distant Shores book and were located in a city on Garund. So, that makes 2 of the remaining 4 ancestries/heritages that were a mystery so far.
With Luis telling us that 2 of those remaining 4 had wings, I'm keeping to my guess that the remaining 2 are the Gathlain and the Strix.
Interesting! I know very little about aphorite or ganzi except what little I can find on aonprd. Seem similar to aasimar and tiefling but law and chaos aligned? Aphorite seem a little boring but ganzi seem like they could be super cool. I wonder if either of them would have a fly speed?

Aphorites are to Lawful outsiders and Ganzi to Chaotic outsiders as Aasimar are to Good outsiders and Tieflings are to Evil outsiders.
Okay yeah that's what it seems like. Maybe jumping the gun a bit here but I think Ganzi could be awesome, just looking at their first edition entry. All about chaos and mutation, tons of stuff to work with there. Aphorites are a little harder to envision for me, feats about law and order and normalcy. Looking forward to seeing everything!!

Ganzi and Aphorite seem parallel to aasimar and tiefling... Do we expect them to be heritages? Seems neat if so. Would bump us to something like 7 and 7 between ancestries and heritages? Two more unknown ancestries to be revealed.
All assumption. Ganzi not even confirmed to be coming.

The email specifically said Aphorites were a new heritage.
There was a Ganzi in the last Adventure Path entry, so I assume they'll roll it out with this book as well. Possible that this will even be one of the entries with eventual flight.

Oops, missed that.
I tried to opt in for product emails, but I haven't received any. I'm super stoked for this book and I really don't want to miss out on any preview material. Is there somewhere online that those emails might be reposted?

Second this. I tried opting in for the e-mails like 2 weeks ago and haven't seen anything yet.
