BASIC BLOODLINE SPELL (Feat 4)
[Archetype]
Prerequisites Sorcerer Dedication
¶ You gain your bloodline's initial bloodline spell. If you don't already have one, you also gain a focus spell of 1 Focus Point, which you can Refocus without any special effort. (For more on bloodline spells, see page 194)
Theory: Sorcerers can Refocus concurrently with some other 10-minute action.
Every other feat like this gives a specific action to Refocus (e.g., praying for a Cleric, studying for a Wizard).
But Sorcerers, we are told, can Refocus "without any special effort." We know the designers wanted to give the Sorcerer some more nice things coming out of the Playtest, and that an emphasis on Focus Spells is part of the Sorcerer's niche.
So it would make sense if this language suggests that the Sorcerer can "automatically" regain focus points while engaging in some other 10-minute activity (e.g., Treat Wounds, Repair).
UPDATE: This would also synergize very well with these two sorcerer feats we saw in the preview banquet:
Bloodline Focus (Feat 12). Prereq: bloodline spell. If you have spent at least 2 Focus Points since the last time you Refocused, you recover 2 Focus Points when you Refocus instead of 1.
Bloodline Wellspring (Feat 18). If you have spent at least 3 Focus Points since the last time you Refocused, you recover 3 Focus Points when you Refocus instead of 1.

I love your theory on Sorcerer being able to refocus while doing something else. (After all, clerics of certain deities can refocus while healing.) I really like the idea of being able to play a Sorcerer and come up with whatever preferred refocus activity I want.

This is awesome! Way easier than referring to the images.
One slight issue, you've got the text for Ranger Resiliency listed under Basic Hunter's Trick. The actual text of Basic Hunter's Trick is "You gain a 1st or 2nd level ranger feat of your choice."

Ah, well so I do! Thanks for the catch

Interesting, thanks.
Curious if Cleric Multiclass doesn't enable Channel at all? Or maybe they can gain only the specific Channel Variants/Upgrade usages (via 1/2 class level) if they Feat into them, while lacking vanilla Channel?
I think Druid Multiclass is supposed to be more exclusive re: Order Feats than base Druid (or else Druid itself became more exclusive re: Order Feat access?), although it doesn't overtly state that restriction on other Order Feats, it's surmisable that you can't take them unless granted permission?
" You become a member of that order and are bound by its anathema, allowing you to take the order's feats. ... You don't gain any other abilities from your choice of order."
So by "don't gain other abilities from your choice of order" that means you won't get the Order-specific benefits, even for chosen Order, and even this level of access doesn't apply to other Order Feats...?

I wonder what class other than barbarian will have more than 10+level HP, to necessitate that distinction in Barbarian Resiliency. I am guessing it is just future proofing but, I am still curious, without prestige classes, what class could go above 10.

It might be correct. The Order Feats were usually 1st level feats anyway, so it doesn’t make sense that there would be two ways to grab the same feat. It also mentions giving you a spell point so i think it’s accurate.

I could see the Kineticist getting a d12 HD to replicate how much HP the class tended to carry around with how much you would stack Con bonuses in PF1 (and these are much less common in PF2.) Like via elemental overflow you had an eventual built in +6 Con size bonus (so it stacked with your +6 belt.)

I seem to recall this question being asked during the playtest, and the answer from one of the developers was that it just meant that you don't get the feat that the order comes with (and would need to take the Basic Wilding feat to access it), and you don't get the focus spell that the order comes with (which you would get via the Order Spell feat). But you do count as a member of the order when you take the relevant feats via Basic Wildling and Advanced Wildling.
OK so you're saying that you DO (or can) gain abilities from your choice of order, you just don't automatically gain them from that choice, you have to take the relevant feats for it (but these special abilities only kick in for people who chose that order). Kind of weird the wording isn't clearer if that was already brought up in playtest. Well, FAQ has to start somewhere...

Thanks for this!
Happy to see multiclass stat requirements get lowered to 14 rather than 16.
Also love that the stupid 1/day class abilities seem to have been removed.
That being said, the Alchemist multiclass in particular brings up something I was kinda worried about with some classes having class pools in addition to spell point pools, being what happens with the multiclass dedication. Something like a Cleric/Alchemist can easily have 3 pools to worry about (channel, focus, reagents) and I was rather hoping that spell points/focus was going to get rid of things like that by consolidating these pools into one feature. [Especially as a Roll20 player who only has 3 bars per token to track these pools, along tracking HP and possibly things like hero points]

Unfortunately, the attempt to bring condense pools into Resonance on the alchemist was poorly received. They didn't want to make Channel a Focus power because they wanted the cleric to feel free to use the Focus powers for fun purposes rather than saving them in case you need a heal.

In fairness, three pools is currently the absolute maximum you can wind up with, and is exclusive to Cleric/Alchemists (a somewhat odd combination, and easily avoided) at the moment. Even two pools is exclusive to Clerics and spellcasters multiclassing with Alchemist. The vast majority of characters really do have only a single pool.
And both Reagents and Channel have to be separate from Focus given what Focus does now, since Focus is recovered at 1 point per 10 minutes, any daily resource allotments must be something else.

You have become my favorite poster on these boards, tqomins.
As I did not participate in the playtest, I'm curious. How quickly do you get feats? How easy/quickly can you enter an archetype? Do you gain dedication feats specifically for this purpose (or investing in a dedication in your main class)?

All Classes appear to receive 1 Class Feat (the only kind usable for Multiclass Archetypes) every two levels starting at 2nd level. Some also receive one at 1st, but that's not really a factor in multiclassing directly.

Hmmm... Cleric/druid/alchemist. I like it. ;)
It emulates a druid worshiping Gozreh and taking the Druid Herbalism from PF1.

While it still isn't relevant for multiclassing, I thought I saw somewhere that all classes now get 11 class feats (1 at 1st and 1 at every even level), which I appreciate. I didn't like casters getting shafted on feats and features and I'm glad that casters get class features now NOT at the cost of feats, and Martials just get more features. XD
Ah! That's actually neat, and very good to know.

To be fair, I think casters get a feat disguised as a part of their class path at level 1. IE, a druid who picks the animal order gets the animal companion feat. I'm not positive everyone gets a truly free feat, but that's splitting hairs.
Someone chime in if I'm wrong here!

Hmm, I think you're right. Bards get the same too, don't they? Clerics and Wizards didn't in the Playtest, though, nor did Sorcerers.While it still isn't relevant for multiclassing, I thought I saw somewhere that all classes now get 11 class feats (1 at 1st and 1 at every even level), which I appreciate.

I'm hoping that it will be as Captain Morgan suggested: that everyone gets 11 class feats but for some classes your level-1 class feat is dictated by another choice you make.
I may be responsible for the confusion here: in a different thread I did make the claim that everyone gets 11 class feats. But I wasn't thinking about it and was just counting off of the Alchemist class table (which gives you a class feat at level 1 and every even level). So it's possible that was inaccurate. I reviewed, and here's what we know concretely right now:
1) Alchemists receive a free choice of "alchemist class feat" granted at level 1 on their class table.
2) Alchemists, Bards, Champions, and Wizards all have level-1 class feats printed in the Core Rulebook (though unclear if they are granted a free choice of a feat at level 1).
3) The Wild Druid Order (spoiler #49) grants the Wild Shape feat.
4) Clerics do *not* have a free choice of "cleric class feat" listed at level 1 on their class table. However, they do receive their first Doctrine benefit at level 1, and the one first-Doctrine-benefit that we're aware of (the Cloistered Cleric's First Doctrine) does grant a class feat (specifically, Domain Initiate).
5) Several classes in the playtest that did not receive a free choice of class feat at level 1 received a class feat via another feature (e.g., Bards got a feat through their Muse). (NB, Spoiler #39, Multifarious Muse, suggests that PF2 Bards may retain that structure: "... Choose a type of muse other than that of your own. You gain a 1st-level feat that requires that muse ...")
6) But there were still some classes in the playtest that received neither their choice of a class feat nor a class feat granted by some class feature at level 1. E.g., the playtest Sorcerer just didn't have a class feat at level 1.

Did the Wild Shape pool for Druids go away?I suppose that is another one (though it and Channel can't be gained via multiclassing, so they don't stack for these purposes). It's a 1/day ability for a lot of Druids, though.
You can get it from Mulitclassing, though, it's a Level 1 Class Feat (that the Wild Order druid gets for free).

^ This. As mentioned in my previous post, we know from #49 that Wild Shape is a class feat, so you can grab it through the "pick a feat" multiclass choice.

Okay...but that remains a 1/day feature rather than a pool, doesn't it? Or does having Wild Order from the Multiclass Dedication actually give it the bonus (something I believe was not true in the playtest)? I'm curious now.

It did in the playtest. You count as a memberof the order. The feat gives enhanced benefits to members of the order, so you get them. I’m pretty sure this was confirmed in one of the druid threads, but can’t remember which one now.

Maybe I'm just misremembering because the 1/2 level on Feats for Multiclass Archetypes made it verging on utterly useless in the playtest. That seems to have changed for the better in the final version, though.
So I guess that's 4 pools of points in theory. Starting at 8th level at the earliest and only if your primary Class is Cleric and you specifically get 3 Druid Multiclass Feats (only one of which could be spellcasting) and then multiclass Alchemist.
My whole point was that this is a very niche problem, which I think this only confirms.
