Hey everyone! Wanted to get some input, building a Barathu for a level 1 game, and Merged really stood out to me as seeming like a lot of fun. With the boost to CON and the extra HP from Merged, I felt like they'd make a good Soldier...
But then, because they're large, all of the decent options for a Soldier's weapons and armor are far too expensive to get with the starting 150 creds, since large items have double the price. Is this an oversight or am I doing something wrong here, or is Merged just counterintuitively better for casters who don't need as much gear?

Might be an oversight. Since Pathfinder 2E is used as a base. Large PCs should not be charged double the cost.
Large PCs should generally be able to acquire equipment sized for them without having to pay a cost increase; these characters come from cultures that regularly craft appropriately sized gear for them to use.

It’s got to be an oversight. What I would do as a GM, is let the player buy their armor at a normal price, and apply a “custom-made” trait on it, to ensure that if/when they sold it in the future, they can’t sell for the large price. Additionally, I might consider only allowing one weight-class of armor lower, to represent the difficulty of acquisition.
