Compatibility Issues - Reload


Playtest General Discussion


Due to the way the ranged weapons table is laid out and having a Reload column for how many actions it takes to reload a full magazine, many Pathfinder 2e ranged options like Hunted Shot and Double/Triple Tap are technically incompatible with Starfinder 2e guns despite them working in a way that should allow these feats to function. For example, an Air Repeater has Reload 0 in Pathfinder 2e because it uses a magazine.


RaW, yes, but RaI, obviously no. Any sane GM will look at that problem and say that a Starfinder weapon functions as an Air Repeater for the purposes of adjudicating these feats.

Though my honest recommendation to Paizo?
Guns and Gears does not technically exist in the ORC yet, until it gets it's new printing, which is confirmed to have various changes well beyond simple errata. This is an opportunity to make Guns and Gears guns function the way Starfinder guns would.

Then an errata patch to the above mentioned feats in the Player Core can be addressed to make it work in situations where a gun has a magazine, and takes 1 action to fire.

Oh, almost certainly. Just figured it was worth pointing out.

this need some conversion rule or gm permission


That's what incompatible means, yes.
