Remaster and Baba Yaga Witch Patron


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion

Silver Crusade

My witch has the Baba Yaga patron, hard-won after much retraining. This is an integral part of her character arc that I absolutely want to keep. In doing the remaster on Herolab, she was automatically shunted to the Resentment patron, with no option to input my boon to gain access to Baba Yaga for her patron. Does anyone know if this is a Remaster choice? It could just be a Herolab issue.


I was under the impression that the Mosquito and Baba Yaga patrons should be treated functionally as one of the remaster patrons, but I don't see where I could have heard that. Maybe it's a PFS solution to the problem.

I don't remember which was which, but it would make some amount of sense for Baba Yaga to use the Resentment patron.

Yeah, PFS has rulings for how to update those patrons.

If a witch’s patron is Baba Yaga, their familiar gains the Familiar of Freezing Rime ability (page 185). If a witch’s patron is the Mosquito Witch, their familiar gains the Familiar of Ongoing Misery ability (page 184). Should these patrons be reprinted in future products, their familiar abilities will be updated.

For non-PFS tables, either use the PFS rulings anyway, or come up with your own familiar ability selection.

Thank you!

That's Hero Lab's failure. I think you'd need to go to their customer support/bug reporting/forums/etc to try to get them to make their program support older options better.

Careful dear reader. The post from davidsaucedo above is SPAM.

I flagged it as such. Hopefully it will be erased by the time you read this.

It got me because I did not realize right away that it reused part of the OP's first post and thus actually looked legit.

And did so without any synonym replacements. That is a low quality spam bot.
