Adrian sometimes pronounces things exaclty as you'd do it in Afrikaans so the mannerisms were even more of a clue for me

Yeah, I can't see creatures as fundamentally villaneous because of their race/ancestry/how they were born. I also think that it makes for boring villains (the Orc is evil, because all orcs are evil), but interesting PCs (this drow disagrees with the shit that drow do)

D&D just has a huge market appeal and brand recognition. Like Pokémon isn't a good RPG, it's not even a good creature gathering game, but people play it because it's Pokémon. Kinda same goes for D&D

Even for evocative scene descriptions, it's.... Okay. I found it repetitive quite fast, and for most monologues I try to set the scene in 30 seconds or less

I like the IDEA of scent, sight, smell, but actually using it is horrible. I dont wanna spend every combat with another 2 minutes of describing how the air smells like blood

It hurts a specific playstyle for the Magus, but that playstyle was always very whiteroom/not good in practice.

One issue I have /w Pathfinder is also why I love it. I love it because as opposed to D&D, levelling up is meaningful, giving you 2-3 unique character build picks every level.
What I hate is that its not always a meaningful choice and some levels are more important than others. Lvl 3+5 feel "empty"

Basically what I think FA was intended for. Most tables I've played at with FA aren't too picky about players picking archetypes for FA, but the rules do say it's more of a way for GMs to gives parties a bit of shared identity, while most redditors seem to think it's essential part of play/building

It's also basically what Class Archetypes also do.
I contemplated telling my players that they'll get an Archetype feat every odd level, besides FA, but I get to pick the archetype depending on campaign or background, with player input, and I'll favor out-of-combat archetypes.

Oh dang, I didn't know Psychic did that too. Should definitely look into that - I have Psychic dedication already for the time old Magus-Psychic combo

All a bit moot - Paizo kinda decided to go a "we have armor proficiency at home" with Scaly Hide anyways (though this isn't necessarily interesting for the Necromancer).

Think that for Automaton it would've been a bit more OP, they're already pretty darn good.

Obviously, that'd be a single ancestry that'd open up a lot of access to STR builds, so it'd must be limited to ancestries where it fits flavor
It also encroaches on Human ancest. but I feel like "easy access to STR builds and med/armor prof" isn't the Human USP - it's the overall versatility

Dang, super mediocre, would've opened up some interesting build ideas. Easy Ancest/Herit med/armor proficiency access would've been too strong and encroach on Human, but imho "hide as med/armor with UA.Def. proficiency" for Kashrishi as a feat wouldn't have been too overpowered and pretty flavorful

Oh dang, that's a good point - innate casting (Arcane) cantrips with CHA is something the Necromancer really won't want to do, so the Elf cantrips are out.
I took it on my Ancient Elf Magus, but I forgot that I did that for utility and Otherworldly Acumen, so it didn't matter that it's innate CHA.

Woops, I mean Reinforced Chassis for the Automaton

But there's no mention that this actually adds the proficiency for the chassis of Automaton or skin for Kashrishi - would they RAW not be proficient with their own bodies, or am I overlooking something that says this is a bullshit interpretation?

I like this idea! Weird quesiton, I found a few other ways to do this:
- Ancient Elf+Champion dedication+one of the many ancestry feats that give a cantrip to elves
- Nascent Kashrishi with Tough Skin, but you'd get Open Mind which only gives more Occult cantrips
- Mage Automaton with Tough Skin
- Ancient Elf+Champion dedication+one of the many ancestry feats that give a cantrip to elves
- Nascent Kashrishi with Tough Skin, but you'd get Open Mind which only gives more Occult cantrips
- Mage Automaton with Tough Skin

I'm just sad we get another prepared caster that's not using a spellbook, so it doesn't interact with Magus or Wizard.
