Error in Iconic Ezren level 5 for his +1 Striking Staff

[The Only Sheet]

Please confirm:

I created the level 5 Ezren from the Community Use Package: PF2E Iconics Pregenerated Characters bundle in TOS 2nd CORE edition Character Manager.

TOS 2nd lists the attack at +8 for Ezren's +1 Striking Staff, as opposed to +7 in the PDF.

I suppose that is an error in the PDF, as the attack bonus would be:

Trained: +2
Level: +5
+1 Weapon Potency rune: +1

For a total of +8 to attacks.

Am I mistaken? Did I miss something?

THANKS!

You are correct AFAICT.

Paizo Pre-Gens are notorious for having errors that are easy to make when creating a PC by hand but easily avoided using software that actually follows the rules.

That said, the pre-gen is 100% "legal" as they are printed and meant to be used "as-is" despite breaking the system rules.

I work very hard to offer products that are as free of bugs as I can possibly make them. Being the creator doesn't mean that you can bend your own rules on a whim! At least, not in MY book!! :P

I don't think they're actually breaking rules on a whim; that requires intent. I think someone just forgot to add in the staff's own +1, or else simply typo'd. (And in the Amiri-1 thread I'm positive they failed to mark Nature as Trained by mistake, since they did give it the bonus.) But whims or not, such things have the potential to confuse newcomers, so hopefully they'll change them.

With any luck, someone @ Paizo is taking notes to fix these!

Over half the Iconics have issues like this... I just moved them all into Fantasy Grounds and had to correct a bunch of these. Keep an eye on the attack bonus, damage, AC, correct spell slots, and the inventory for all the lvl 5 iconics.

And if your character sheet has a way to note whether you're carrying a full waterskin or an empty waterskin---which it should since bulk and water are both important---note that the iconics are all carrying empties.... Not technically an error but it bothers me.

They may well do so from these threads, but chances go up dramatically if someone (not me!) collates the issues and makes a post in the errata thread. (That doesn't guarantee they'll fix iconics ever, but if they do, it should ensure those problems are included.)
