Skinwalkers Inner Sea Races Update - What to Do?


Rules Questions

Shadow Lodge

Several aspects of the Skinwalker race were revised for Inner Sea Races. Some big ones were that they no longer have a limited number of charges per day, their languages were qualified, the Scaleheart's fluff and ability modifiers were changes, the Ragebred's ability score modifiers were changed, and the Nightskulk's distraction ability was nerfed.

Now the only change I have issue with is the Scaleheart changes (in BotM they were said to be coldhearted schemers with a hierarchy enforced by fear, in ISR they are just another brutish race and they are said to hail from the Sodden Lands and the Shackles rather than Mwangi rivers and Thuvia). In my campaign I have several of skinwalkers as PCs; should I treat this as an errata as a whole, or take it as an update with the exception of the racial modifiers, and do what PFS did and make it treat them as alternate racial qualities?

Inner Sea Races itself is the errata. It provides details that differ from the original player companion sources for Skinwalkers, Dhampirs, and perhaps a couple of other races.


Are you running your own world? I would go the expanded way, giving more options. If you're running a closer to Canon, play tight and send up a flare...Oh, you did!

Any solution that ignores the atrocious Scaleheart changes is good, IMHO.
