The Savage Barbarian archetype is equally affected by the FAQ.

Removed some posts and their responses. Keep it civil, please.

Then how do they know about the erreta?

So someone is so discontected from the outside world, but for unknown reasons magically connected to PFS to learn all the breaking news.

That is too silly to account for.

There are conventions I have gone to where there is no access to internet (due to spotty wireless coverage), and the only source material is what players and GMs bring with them.

Is it possible for things to be missed in such an environment? Yes. Is it believable? Yes.

We've discussed what we understand the priority issues are and likely character options that would have been affected as a result of the recent FAQ. Let me know if this leaves any significant issues unaddressed. If there are any modifications we agree to incorporate, I'll incorporate them into the formal statement tomorrow. Anyone who needs to know how to adjust his or her barbarian PC in anticipation of an imminent game should go ahead and use the provisional changes listed below.

** spoiler omitted **

Increased damage reduction should be removed from the recommended rage powers for the savage barbarian archetype, but since it clearly loses the damage reduction ability already, this really shouldn’t be a situation that necessitates a special rebuilding condition.

Thanks John. I just didn't like having two rage powers and 1 feat that weren't doing anything.

The loss of the extra DR does make it harder to run around with a 6 AC when it happens, but the extra feats/powers allows me to focus on another build type the character seemed to be naturally evolving into (overrun/attacks of opportunity).
