Strix will be free to play / less rare soon?

[Oni Shogun]

I was told by another poster that Strix will be free to play soon/less rare since they are no longer on the boons purchasable page for PFS play? Is this true?

[Maya Coleman]

This is true! We gave some info about this during PaizoCon last weekend! There will be more details soon as well!

I hadn't looked at Strix for a long time.

The improved flight ancestry feat progression from the 2024 Spring Remaster Compatibility Errata is really nice.

Et voila! You should now see the update under the Lost Omens: Ancestry Guide sanctioning.

One other bit of news is that the Automaton Ancestry boon has had its ACP cost halved. I imagine there's an official announcement of all this coming up, but two conventions back to back probably has the OP team swamped.

SWEET! I didn’t know these had opened up. Now I’m going to rethink some character ideas.

Sweet! I've had a strix character concept in mind for a while now, but the steep AcP price tag had put that solidly on the back burner--until now.

(OTOH, I have three other PCs still at 1st level, so I've not sure I'm in a super rush to introduce yet another brand-new PC until at least one or two of those advance a level...)
