How is the Runesmith interacting with previous "Runes"

[Natan Linggod 327]

By which I mean, can the Runesmith learn Armour and Weapon runes other than the ones given at 2nd and 7th level?

Can they learn and craft, Accessory or Shield runes? It feels strange if they can't.

What about things that aren't called runes but are similar in construction and use, like fulu or missives?

Well, the freely available playtest document gives them a 2nd-level feature, Rune Crafter, which gives them the Magical Crafting feat, even if they lack the prerequisites, and also gives them the formulas for ALL fundamental armor, shield, and weapon runes. Also they don't need a formula book for any rune formula, they just keep it in their heads. At 9th level they then gain a feature that increases their degree of success on any downtime check to craft runes, which is a level beyond what any other class can do on pretty much any kind of check. I would say that playtest Runesmith is quite possibly the Best Class At Crafting Runes, and I don't see any reason why that would need to be changed in the final class.

That's not quite how I read Runic Crafter. To me it sounds like they get only the listed fundamental armour, shield and weapon runes. While that is all the fundamental runes currently, it means if any other fundamental runes are added to the game, the Runesmith doesn't get them.

If my interpretation is wrong, and yours is right, then fantastic! I'd be quite happy with that.

*Also, I got it wrong about shield runes, I missed the bit where they got some fundamental runes for shields.
And, I meant 9th level not 7th, as you pointed out.

They would be able to buy the formula for other runes, like any other crafter.
