PFS2e - Additional Resources: Character Options - Kashrishi No but Android Yes?

[Red Griffyn]

So the newest impossible lands book has arrived. However, the PFS2e Additional resources page has restricted the L1 Kashrishi feat community knowledge. However, the android L1 feat nanite surge has the exact same text and was approved for use in PFS for years at this point. The android version even has 3-4 extra feats as a feat chain to make it more powerful. Is it possible to revise the character options to unrestrict the community knowledge feat?

Keep in mind that the android feats are locked behind the ancestry.

The Kashrishi feat is also locked behind ancestry, not sure what the point there was.
Android is also more easily accessible since it can be bought with 2e or SFS acp. They are literally the exact same feat - why does one ancestry get access to it but other has it restricted?

(if it was limited, I'd assume we'd get access to it through a scenario boon maybe, but restricted? That's usually limited to gamebreaking things like teleportation or dreaming potential or evil deities or things with a lot of GM fiat. This is a standard lvl 1 common ancestry feat, identical to another that already exist. There doesn't seem to be any basis for restricting it.)

[Z...D...]

Not sure why it was restricted. It is not that powerful of a feat. It is a slightly better Guidance that can be used as a reaction instead and can only benefit the you.

I am also unware of any way to challenge/petition something getting looked at a second time and reversed in this way.

The other Kashrishi feat though, completely understand.

It is notably inconsistent. I would expect that Community Knowledge was deemed too good for a level 1 ancestry feat, then Nanite Surge would need to be as well. Though admittedly because so many Android Feats key off of Nanite Surge, that may have been trickier to remove. That's all speculation though. I have no insight into why this wasn't allowed.

Please add my voice to those who are baffled at the omission of this ancestry feat from our little horned Kashrishi friends.

Thanks to our Organized Play Leadership Team for reversing their decision and legalizing Community Knowledge!

What a nice present for the holidays!
