In the Pre-remastered Swashbuckler, the "You're Next !" feat is a reaction.

In the Player Core Rogues, the "You're Next!" feat is also a reaction.

But in the Remastered Swashbuckler for Player Core 2, "You're Next!" requires an action which limits its usability.

Is this a typo, or do I need to take a rogue dedication to get the "You're Next!" feat to be a reaction?

Hmm


Since the Rogue feat and the Swashbuckler feat have the same text, I assume that the use of the action symbol instead of the reaction symbol is an error.

After all, the last clause ("If you’re legendary in Intimidation, you can use this as a free action with the same trigger") strongly suggests that this is supposed to be a reaction, since actions don't have triggers.

It's not really a good practice to have two feats with the same name that function differently.


Thankfully, this was one of the few clarifications addressed for Pathfinder Society.

Pathbuilder already has the corrected version. ^^

I'm half expecting that is less a feature of the Pathbuilder developers having some sort of pre-release errata, and more that as PossibleCabbage mentioned, it doesn't work so well to have two nearly identical feats with the same name and different mechanics.

Databases hate things like that even more than rules lawyers do.

Also it has a trigger, so as printed it just doesn't make a lot of sense.

Nope, build 84 of Pathbuilder had it as a one-action activity, then the PFS clarification came out and two days later build 85 had it as a reaction.
