So I guess Conrasu just eat and talk...Yeah, PF2 would tell you if you can't do something instead of telling you can do. So saying nothing about eating, drinking and speech pretty much means 'as normal'.
I think often we try too hard to pigeonhole PF2 into "it's definitely this way unless it says otherwise". That gets you into discussions like "you can't do that unless there's a rule saying you can do it" which is sometimes correct and sometimes not. You do need a rules element saying that your fighter has a way to cast spells; you don't need a rules element for him to go to the bathroom.

The Mwangi Expanse page 49, first sentence.
"...catch sigh of a settlement..."
should be
"...catch sight of a settlement..."
Really interesting. Red Dragons get Crushing Despair as a 4th level spell as well. I had thought that was an error, but maybe it's supposed to be a 4th level spell.Oh wow, I never considered that. It does make more sense now as a 4th level spell to avoid any overlap with those 5th level deity spells.
Looks like 4th level Crushing Despair isn't as clean I'd thought. The Lost Prince has Crushing Despair at 5th level and a 4th level spell (Modify Memory).
Oddly enough, it's on the same page as Sifkesh, the one with a 4th level Crushing Despair. Gods & Magic, page 126
Can we get a clarification on the new dragon types being used for draconic bloodline, not just wyrmblessed? Open question for society play right now, seems like they should be but not clear.
Also, was it intended that forest/sea/crystal dragon can give physical resists through dragon claws and dragon disciple? Physical resists are far more powerful and harder to get than elemental.
Emphasis mine.
Here's the updated text for Dragon Disciple from Archives of Nethys.
And for Dragon Claws.Dragon Disciple
You choose to study or worship one type of dragon, and your focus grants you a measure of its power. Choose one color of dragon when you select this feat; if you are a sorcerer with the draconic bloodline, this must be the same type as your bloodline. You gain resistance equal to half your level against one type of damage determined by the chosen dragon type. The GM may allow you to choose a dragon type not listed below, and will determine the damage type appropriate for that dragon.
Black, Brine*, or or Copper Acid
Blue, Bronze, Cloud*, or Sky* Electricity
Brass, Gold, Magma*, Red, or Underworld* Fire
Crystal* or Forest* Piercing
Green Poison
Sea* Bludgeoning
Silver or White Cold
Sovereign* Mental
Umbral* Negative
*Source Mwangi Expanse pg. 76
You also gain a +1 circumstance bonus to saving throws against sleep effects and effects that would make you paralyzed.Special You can't select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the dragon disciple archetype. If you later take the sorcerer archetype, you must choose the draconic bloodline.
Vicious claws grow from your fingers. They are finesse unarmed attacks that deal 1d4 slashing damage and 1d6 extra damage of a type determined by the dragon in your bloodline.

So... yes? Seems intentional.
I won't way in on whether that's too powerful or not.
I didn't see this get mentioned yet, so here it is:
A level 1 ancestry feat for Anadi, Web Weaver, seems to have a problem.
The description specifically mentions rope as an item you can make with the feat even though the price limit of 1 sp means that rope is not an item you can actually make with the feat because it costs 5 sp.
In fact, the very low price limit means that the only items you can make are sacks, backpacks and regular clothing, which doesn't seem intended.

Rope is 5 sp for 50' so 10' is 1 sp and within the limit of the feat. You also missed bedroll. So, yes it isn't much. Since you can make 10 items, a DM might allow you to combine items into a bigger one so 50' of rope would be 5 items, Clothing (Winter) 4 items, Tent (Pup) 8 items or a net all 10 items.

If the feat is intended to let you make partial items, it should probably be mentioned in the text itself, since there is no precedent in the rules for that. Something along the lines of 'The items you create cannot have a combined base Price higher than 1 gp'.

I see no reason you can't tie rope ends together for a longer rope, so that's easy. Much the same way, clothes are multiple pieces of clothing you buy as a package [unless you imagine a world where everyone wears a onesies] so it's not hard to imagine making 2 layers of shirts and 2 layers of pants for winter clothes for the 4sp total. Now making an actual single piece of equipment with multiple items is a stretch I know: It would be nice to have it have it spell out you can do it because, as you noted, the list of things you can make is mighty slim without it.

One problem I see with combined items is that in PF2e crafting any item takes the same amount of time regardless of complexity, which means that a person who wants to create a normal set of clothes quickly is better off crafting winter clothes and stopping halfway through their project.

How so? winter clothes takes 4 days base and normal clothes are 1 day, so if you stop 1/2 way with winter ones, it took 2 days vs a single day for a complete set of normal clothes. So, no problem as it never 'speeds' things up that I can see: you get either a full set of normal clothes or a single shirt or pants layer of winter.

Page 244 of the CRB states that "You must spend 4 days at work, at which point you attempt a Crafting check." and there is no way to make it shorter to my knowledge. I was talking about crafting in general, since only applying this system to the feat would be a bit strange in my opinion.
This whole tangent may have gotten a bit off-topic, however.

Did you read the feat in question?
"These temporary items take you only 1 day to Craft instead of 4. If you're an expert in Crafting, you can Craft these items in 1 hour; if you're a master, you can Craft them in 10 minutes; if you're legendary, you can Craft them in 1 minute."

Yes, but that has no bearing on what I was talking about, since I was talking about what side-effects combining items would have on using crafting outside of Web Weaver.
Apologies if my post was unclear about that.

I don't understand your post then. There is generally no reason to break up items as there isn't a cost limit and even if you do for some reason [like making the pitons out of a climbing kit], it ends up taking longer because of the 4 day minimum: ie, if you make the 1 shirt and pants out of that cold weather clothes, you end up taking 8 days and only getting the equivalent of normal clothes so you spent twice as long to get 1/2 as much. It only makes sense when the cost to limited. Nothing allows you to alter the project already started: for instance, you aren't allowed to make a batch of 4 potions, stop in 1 day and say you've make 1 potion [without DM fiat].

Catfolk Weapon Familiarity still says "For you, martial catfolk weapons are simple weapons and advanced catfolk weapons are martial weapons." instead of "For the purposes of proficiency you treat martial catfolk weapons are simple weapons and advanced catfolk weapons as martial weapons."

You've posted this three times. I don't think it is going to accelerate you getting an answer.

* Web Walker VS shadow chains via Velstrac Magic
* Anadi with the Form of the Fiend feat
I'm not entirely sure on the exact questions you have with these, but I think I can offer some clarifications now.
Web Walker grants you a bonus against the web spell. Velstrac Magic gives you a casting of web that specifically notes that it manifests as shadowy chains, rather than its typical appearance. I believe your question is whether or not Web Walker still grants the bonus against this altered version of web. The spell you cast thanks to Velstrac Magic is still web, regardless of its appearance. Regardless of how a spell looks or is tweaked, if something says it is a specific spell, it is always that specific spell. So, if something let you cast web, but noted that the duration is only 1 round or that it was immune to fire or some other change, it is still web because it stated it was web.
Does Web Walker's bonus apply to the casting of web you receive from Velstrac Magic? Yes it does.
As for Form of the Fiend, I think the confusion might be as to whether or not you can use the unarmed attack while in your human shape as an anadi. I will first note that whatever unarmed attack you gain from Form of the Fiend is available to you in your spider shape, including a jaws attack. You can have both a fangs and jaws attack, even if they are functionally the same.
Change Shape specifically notes that you can't use unarmed attacks granted by your ancestry. This includes unarmed attacks granted be your heritage (which is part of an ancestry), even if the heritage isn't typically one available to your ancestry, such as a versatile heritage or an elven heritage if you were a half-elf. When you are in human form, the magic of the transformation makes all of your ancestry-based unarmed strikes unusable, regardless of how you received them.
Can an anadi in human shape use an unarmed attack granted to them by a heritage, a non-anadi heritage, or versatile heritage? No, they can't.

The Lament spell from gods and magic is badly in need of an errata.
First the range - 30 foot cone isn't a range, it's an area.
Second, the targets are unclear - do you choose which creatures it targets, or does it just hit everyone in the area? (rendering the targets redundant).
Third, does it hit only enemies like the first sentence indicates, or does it hit all creatures?

The singular of "errata" is "erratum". Just sayin'. :-)

Limiting it to the specific lineages listed seems to be intentional. You do not need fangs to use the feat. Only to use it on an unrestrained, conscious target. A Dhampir without fangs can still use it on a restrained or unconscious target, as long as you can make a piercing or slashing Strike of some type. Doesn't have to be fangs.

I think this feat is wrong, a level 6 feat that require master proficiency in a skill ( currently not possible as far as I know )
Considering the other feats from different affiliation are also level 6, its probably expert proficiency instead of being a level 8 feat.
Also in the description it says expert proficiency:
You tell a quick story or begin telling a longer tale. This is most useful when you want to prove your scholarly credibility or impress someone quickly. Roll a check with a skill that can be used to Recall Knowledge in which you have expert proficiency, using the result entry for the Perform action. Like Performing, Storytelling rarely has an effect on its own, but it might influence the DCs of subsequent Diplomacy checks against the observers—or even change their attitudes—if the GM sees fit. This action is not a Performance and cannot be used in place of anything that requires you to Perform.

Hey, everybody! We appreciate all of the great feedback and information you've been providing in the thread so far. I've logged everything you've posted so far and look forward to getting a chance to update the FAQ page in the future.
I'm here with a request. Since the first batch of FAQ covered the first three books in the Lost Omens line (World Guide, Character Guide, Gods & Magic), I'm hoping to have the next FAQ update focus on the next three books in the line (Legends, Pathfinder Society Guide, Ancestry Guide). If you have any clarifications or errata for those books, let me know! We have an internal list of changes based on existing posts and stuff we've caught internally, but the more you can bring to our attention, the better!
Thanks again for your help and I look forward to getting another update out soon!

One feat from the Ancestry Guide I've wondered about is Fey Disguise. It lets a sprite cast Illusory Disguise once per day.
The problem is that Illusory Disguise limits you to disguising as people who are within 6 inches and 50 pounds of you, which makes the feat rather useless for most Sprite heritages (except for Pixies), since they can only disguise themselves as other tiny humanoids.
I'm not totally sure if this is intended, but the feat could at least have a note on this for people who aren't aware of the exact heights and weights of sprites compared to gnomes, kobolds and other small ancestries.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask about this, but in Lost Omens: Legends, Hao Jin's entry doesn't line up with the timeline in Fists of the Ruby Phoenix.
Left hand, meet right hand. You two need to talk. :-)

A debatable candidate for errata - Invisible Trickster (LOAG, 13th level sprite ancestry feat), which allows you to cast 4th-level invisibility once per hour. It's not exactly overpowered, but extremely strong compared to other stuff you get, even on that level.

Yes its strong. But you have to be a sprite or pay an extra feat. After a while invisibility is not that strong. Note this is level 13 not level 7 when the casters get it, or 12th when multiclass casters get it.

One of the Strix lvl 9 ancestry feats is Wing Step. It is almost identical to Elf Step except for this:
Elf step says "you step 5 feet twice"
Wing step just says "you step twice"
Just curious if that was an oversight or just Strix get a slightly better ability (which is fine) it just has some interesting interactions with tiger stance (maybe others abilities too.)
Hope they change the elf feat instead of the strix feat.
