In the Ancestry Guide pg. 124, the Kitsune's Star Orb familiar states "It always has the innate surge master ability."
I've wondered if that meant it has it as a bonus ability or if it takes up one of its familiar ability slots. By comparison, familiars like Marine Ally and Corgi Mount are less open-ended, being quite specific that their given ability counts against the ability limit.

As someone who just started playing a Tiger Monk/Champion for this reason, I don't look at it as "exploiting" Step mechanics. I look at it as building off of them.It doesn't work paladin/tiger stance
It does work. You bolded the wrong section:
You can use Retributive Strike with a ranged weapon. In addition, if the foe that triggered your reaction is within 5 feet of your reach but not in your reach, as part of your reaction you can Step to put the foe in your reach before making a melee Retributive Strike.

That whole sentence together does mean that the enemy has to be only 5 feet out if your reach in order for you to be able to Step to put them in reach. Tiger stance lets you have more options of where to step to, but doesn't let you Step up to a creature that is 10 feet too far away to Strike from your current position.
The one part that was bolded affects the other.

Being 10 feet away from the enemy has zero to do with anything here. Please delete that unrelated thought from your minds.
HumbleGamer is the one who brought that up, when the context of the discussion was clearly about modifying Step mechanics.
Samir's fear was about errata'ing abilities to mention that the Step must be 5 feet, which would then prevent combining Tiger Stance and Retributive Strike.
As of right now, they work just fine.

My interpretation is that the star orb is using an ability slot on it, I agree the wording could be clearer.
Yes I suspect that is how it is supposed to be played. It is of course muddy, with plenty of wriggle room for those you like to dig into the details of the rules not to pay for it.
For starters you have to have at least a level 5 ancestry feat to get a spell slot to use the required innate surge power. So its a pretty ordinary familiar for the first 4 levels. That really triggers people paying for abilities that they can't use....

Warrior Androids are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, but this proficiency doesn't scale with any higher level proficiencies you gain, making it rather pointless for most characters.
Would it be possible to give proficiency in fewer weapons, but make it scale with your main class proficiency?
Viking Shieldbearer makes you trained with battle axe or longsword, but again this proficiency doesn't scale, making it kinda pointless after level 5 or so.
It does have some gimmicky applications for letting rogues and spellcasters qualify for things that require martial weapons (or wizards qualifying for things that need simple weapons) at the very least.
Does feel weird that there's no higher level option to scale that proficiency or anything though. Sort of sets a ticking timer on the heritage if you aren't using it for feat prereqs, which feels a little bit like a newb trap.

World Guide, page 84, under languages in the mwangi expanse, Garundi is listed. This is not a real language, I ask James Jacobs about it several months ago and he agreed that it was a mistake. It should be "Osiriani".
To be fair, none of them are real Languages.:P
LOAG - Mask of Fear (1th level orc ancestry feat) is a free action and reads:
"Special You can use this reaction even if you have a condition tied to the frightened condition that would normally prevent you from using a reaction [...]."
It should probably say "free action" instead of "reaction".
I'm not sure this is so much errata, but it's definitely something I haven't seen answered anywhere. How long do Fleshwarps live? Is it something a player is free to play around with, or should we assume they all have vaguely humanoid lifespans? I think I remember a developer on the forums recently saying that if an age limit isn't written in the races entry, one should assume it's a normal lifespan. I personally feel like maybe fleshwarps should be an exception, but I wonder what the official answer would be. Thank you!
"Normal lifespan" for who?
I'd say, the way stuff has been written for 2E, that lifespan for just about any critter is "however long the GM (or for PCs, the player in consultation with the GM) needs it to be".

From what I saw of that discussion, I think the default was meant to be a human lifespan.

Not sure if it was a mistake or not.. in the Character Guide pg. 102 the Uzunjati Storytelling feat from the Magaambyan Attendant archetype is a level 6 feat that has a prerequisite of "master in a Recall Knowledge skill", & you don't gain master proficiency in any skill until level 7 (that I'm aware of). However in the wording of the feat it states "Roll a check with a skill that can be used to Recall Knowledge in which you have expert proficiency".. I would think the prerequisite would be changed from master to expert.. I only found this because of the Strength of Thousands AP & was reading through everything I could for it :P

Should the Seaweed Leshy (Ancestry Guide) have the Amphibious trait? I don't think it's as integral as the Fungus trait to the Fungus Leshy but it seems appropriate.
Ancestry Guide:
Is the Hampering trait really supposed to be equal to Sweep, Trip and Disarm on the same weapon on top of upgrading it to advanced?
Whip Claw looks a bit understatted compared to the martial Bladed Scarf.

In secrets of magic, the Familiar ability masters form, requires manual dexterity and speech and is listed as a granted ability for shadow familiars but speech is not granted. I assume that since its a granted ability shadow familiars get master's form whether they have speech or not. Is speech intended to be a granted ability?

This is the Errata thread for the Lost Omens Product line. You'd be better served posting this question in the Secrets of Magic Errata thread here.

That's... odd. I think you're looking at the *Playtest* threads. The thread I linked is newer, and is available for posting. Try clicking on the blue →here←word.
After learning that some users have greyscale settings enabled (and therefore can't always see the blue text) I try to bold my links to be more noticable.
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll do that in the future.

I have it set for dark screen, and it shows up as either yellow [never clicked] or green [clicked]: didn't know there was a greyscale.
In Lost Omens Gods & Magic the Major Boon listed for Erastil doesn't indicate how often the speak with plants innate spell that it grants can be used (presumably it's either at will or once per day, and I'm guessing the former since it's a Major Boon, but generally things that grant innate spells specify the frequency and this one doesn't seem to).
Gonna mention this here, since it was brought up on the /r/Pathfinder2E subreddit and I noticed it was a problem related to Lost Omens: Gods & Magic.
The khopesh has flavor text saying "The tip of a khopesh is usually hooked so that it can be used to disarm an opponent’s shield or weapon." However, the only traits the khopesh has is the Uncommon and Trip traits. If the purpose is to allow them to also Disarm, I feel the Disarm trait should be on there.
Some people also suggested downgrading the damage to 1d6 and giving it the Trip, Disarm, and Versatile P traits. Especially since the Versatile, given the flavor text also states "...allowing it to be swung like a handaxe or thrust like a short sword."

That has come up a few times. Swapping Trip for Disarm makes it overlap with the nine-ring sword entirely. I think 1d6 slashing, Trip, Disarm, Versatile P would work, as would 1d6 slashing Disarm, Sweep, Trip (slashing Flail).
I think the biggest downside with the khopesh as-is is that it overlaps with the temple sword in the CRB - but doesn't have the monk trait. So just sort of weaker.| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |

That's fair. I'm just re-posting it in the official Lost Omens thread for clarity's sake. I made sure to check all the pages for mentions of the khopesh before I made the post.

I just meant the "came up a few times" as a reinforcing point for the change. It's not as hot of a topic as the Bladed Scarf was but I think it deserves to have a bit more of a defined niche.

At the very least the weapon probably shouldn't tell us it's good for disarming or thrusting if it can't do either of those things, though the khopesh isn't the only weapon with that issue.

Possible errata candidate: Pg 130 of Gods and Magic, Hanspur's 2nd level cleric spell is aqueous orb, a 3rd level spell.Any position about this topic?
It seems to be an issue with some deity-given spells. Charon, Naderi, and Sifkesh have Crushing Despair, a 5th level spell, listed as a 4th level spell. There are three other deities, Ahriman, Groteus, and The Lost Prince, that give out Crushing Despair but do so at 5th level. Other than Ahriman, all five deities came from Gods & Magic.
This was also briefly discussed on the first page of this thread btw.

Are there PDFs of the PF2E errata? I found the errata page, but no links to pdfs of this information. I'd like to download and print them off and stick them in myu books.
What happens when a conrasu with the Rite of Reinforcement heritage has their armor destroyed?

What happens when a conrasu with the Rite of Reinforcement heritage has their armor destroyed?
Rite of Reinforcement: "Your woven exoskeleton rivals the hardest armors that can be found."
Conrasus: "Conrasus can't maintain their integrity without their wooden exoskeletons. A conrasu that loses its exoskeleton dissipates and dies, though they can be returned to life with magic like other beings."
If the armor, which is their exoskeleton, is destroyed then the Conrasus "dissipates and dies".

The Conrasu Rite of Reinforcement is not as separate item. You can't really apply item rules to it, except where it tells you too.
So I would ignore all item breakage rules. You can't separate the armor from its wearer. It is the wearer. It is not a real item.
Besides to destroy the armor you just need to kill the Conrasu in it.
Honestly I was looking at the automaton and thought this similar situation would answer both questions - but good eye graystone, I missed that. And I would like what you say to be true gortle, that would be cool
And I would like what you say to be true gortle, that would be cool
Yes I agree it is an interpretation. The rules support it but they don't require it. It would be prefereable if the rules were clear.

On Guns & Gears page 25, we have the Reverse Engineer class feat(Lvl 2) for Inventor. It requires Expert in crafting, but the inventor only gets Expert in crafting at level 3.
Is there any other case of class feats that you don't meet the requirement at the level they're avaiable?
Also, the Construct Companion feats all follow the naming pattern:
Advanced Construct Companion(Lvl 4), Incredible Construct Companion(Lvl 8), but Paragon Companion(Lvl 14) is missing the Construct in it's feat name.
