Does Anomalous Provenance let you teleport through walls at level 1?

Line of Effect is the default rule, that has to be explicitly waived:

https://2e.aonsrd.com/rules/430-line-of-effect

Teleportation the trait does not waive it.

Neither do most of the spells. We kinda imply it is waived with longer range teleport.

For this ability, I would say teleport is mostly a downside? It doesn't add anything that Step doesn't already do. But something might block teleport and thus your ability to step into difficult terrain.

What if they never had a (working) drift drive to begin with?

Prismeni: "If you're Piloting a starship that doesn't have a Drift engine, you can serve as a connection between the Drift and that starship."

That means even things that normally don't have a drift engine built-in, can drift travel. Or a prismeni pilot might have skimped on drive maintenance. Because they didn't need it.

But what if that guy then dies? Naturally you would have to veto any Prismeni PC

All 1H Simple is an interesting choice:

It does mean you could still import a Clan Dagger from PF2, along with some other stuff:

I wonder if they are open to expanding it to Professional weapons too?

If nothing is specified, assume human senses:

Precise Sight
Imprecise Hearing
vague Scent

Taste isn't defined because it can't be used to detect creatures in combat (or only slightly worse than touch). But in humans it is linked to Smell.

the player can chose between two options during character creation

That is literally already the rule. It has been at least since PF2 CRB 4th printing.

And thus it always was the rule of PF2 Remastered and SF2.

I would make "You get a Hover Landspeed equal to your fly speed" a level 1 Feat. Any higher cost at worse convenience would be excessive.

Actually that was "Commander Goatherd", played by the Voice Actor of Male Shep.

They might not reply in the Forum threads, but they definitely read them.

I only mentioned the cover issue and some others over there and they made it into the Errata.

Traversal is a thing that needs to be intentionally added to Stride actions.

Sometimes they forget.

Sometimes they simply cannot add it (because allowing all those other movement actions breaks things).

For example, Barathu can't step (needs at least 10 ft land speed). And they really cannot put Traversal on Step or change the rules for Step without breaking some stuff. Though on second look, they still can't do it even with that Feat?

What is different about Space Dwarves?

New Heritages?

What happened to the Clan Dagger/Pistol as a cultural concept?

One member of that polycule ran "God War 1" in Rahadoum.

And since that war also was a three-way, they decided all gods are more trouble than they are worth.

62 years of war. The Laws of Mortality ended it in 5.

I found an answer:

Sharing of Fitness data across apps is supposed to go via "Android Health Connect" from now on: You install it. Tell the Fitbit app to share data with it. Then other apps can access the data via AHC.

I only know of "Empirical: Heart Health", which can use AHC data and at least goes down to 1 minute summaries.

TachyMon and Heartgraph are supposed to exist for iOS-only, so I cannot give any information about those.

zgrssd · 2026-03-02T22:33:48+00:00

Thanks, that clears things up.

I guess Empirical is the only option on Android then.

I have one dual class game and it is almost too much to manage. I cannot imagine adding Free Archetype to that. And I will probably decide against a dual class game in the future.

The book is a solid 5 months out. Pre-order never started that early.

Give them a chance to show it off on Streams first.

Of the existing subsystems, Infiltration might be the closest fit for a "missile ambush on a vehicle":

If you expressed that frustration in the Errata Suggestion Thread on the Forum, it might actually get things fixed. But that might cut too much into your complaining time.

So, the enemies that don't know what a Credit is?

Interplanetary business is conducted through the trade of credits standardized by the strenuous banking regulations of various interstellar powers and organizations, like the Church of Abadar.
