Rules text missing in APG (Second Print) but is present in Archives of Nethys


Rules Discussion


The Eldritch Archer Dedication feat in the Advanced Players Guide (Second Printing 2021, page 172) seems to be missing the following text:

"If you already cast spells from spell slots, you learn one additional cantrip from that tradition. If you're a prepared caster, you can prepare this spell in addition to your usual cantrips per day; if you're a spontaneous caster, you add this cantrip to your spell repertoire."

I found this piece of text in the Archives of Nethys website.

Does the PDF I downloaded have an error in it?


I believe that there was a recent errata on that topic, though I'm not sure about the details.

This change was left out of the online errata.

Yay!

(The list is missing the changes to Eldritch Archer. The Dedication no longer grants an extra cantrip if you have pre-existing spell slots.)

Second printing PDF.

Yes. Specifically, Ed Reppert, they removed the paragraph that granted a second cantrip to those who already had spell slots.

Eldritch Archer Dedication

You blend magic with your archery, leading to powerful results.
If you don’t already cast spells from spell slots, you learn to cast spontaneous spells and gain the Cast a Spell activity. You gain a spell repertoire with one cantrip of your choice, from a spell list of your choice. You choose this cantrip from the common spells on your chosen spell list or from other spells to which you have access on that list. This cantrip must require a spell attack roll. You’re trained in spell attack rolls and spell DCs for that tradition. Your key spellcasting ability for these spells is Charisma.

If you already cast spells from spell slots, you learn one additional cantrip from that tradition. If you’re a prepared caster, you can prepare this spell in addition to your usual cantrips per day; if you’re a spontaneous caster, you add this cantrip to your spell repertoire.
You also gain Eldritch Shot.

Given that the Beast Gunner and Cathartic Mage dedications copied that paragraph, I would expect them to get the same errata eventually.

It's interesting that Archives of Nethys still hasn't changed the text, though.
