Something I just figured out that might change some builds for people!
A lot of these weapons are good for Rogues, except that they don't get martial weapon proficiency. Well, there is a fix for that. The Mauler Archetype! The dedication makes you proficient in all two-handed Martial melee weapons, and it auto-scales with your other weapon proficiencies. Yes, it does require 14 strength, but that is certainly doable with many rogue builds.
This opens rogues up to be able to use: Dancer's spear, whipsataff, bladed scarf, Combat Lure, Rope Dart, and (stupidly) the staff part of the bow-staff (but not the bow part . . . I guess?)
Now there just needs to be an archetype that does the same but for one-handed martial weapons and we'll be good!

A few extra points of damage at low levels, a decent athletics skill, and a few extra bulk of carrying capacity are not bad things to have by any means.
Ceramic Plate Another Druid-Friendly armor, this one I wish was +4/Max dex 1 (like chainmail) so we could have druids get good armor with only 12 dex, but sadly not happening. As it stands it is just more expensive hide that always hurts your stealth checks and . . . can be . . . taken off easily? I don't . . . . I don't see the need to take off your armor quickly. It's a really cool character concept, but as it is, doesn't fit into any niche. Would be a must buy for druids though if it was +4/max dex 1
I can see a need to take off armor quickly, but this armor doesn't actually suffer from that situation.
Heat metal is a hell of way way for a GM to greet their paladin the session after they get full plate.
