Versatile Heritage

[Willot]

Ive noticed Half-Elf and Half-Orc seem to be available to all Ancestries as a Heritage. If this a bug or is it just me?

I know the APG has heritages that are available to all ancestries, but I thought halvsies were only available to Humans?

Notice that it is tagged as an uncommon heritage in the selection box when adding an ancestry to a PC except the human ancestry - it's not listed as uncommon in the selection window for humans. This is based off the "Other Halves" sidebar on page 55 of the Core Rules. Like with anything that is uncommon in Pathfinder Second edition, you always need to be able to access it - i.e. get your GMs approval, or have the pre-reqs/access needed. Thus it is listed as an uncommon versatile heritage when making a heritage selection while in the ancestry addition phase of character generation for all ancestries except humans.

Ah yes, I see it now Thanks!

As someone who has a half-orc elf in one of my games that I had to do manually, can I just say a thousand thank yous for making half-orc and half-elf into versatile heritages going forward. :)

Late to the thread but Half-Orc and Half-Elf doesn't show up anywhere when trying to make a character, either under heritage or versatile. Human for example only gives me the Wintertouched. Versatile brings up the new additions in the APG.

When you drag in the elf Ancestry you get to select an option for your heritage. One is half orc and another is half elf.

Do you mean human? It's not under either Human nor Elf. Only Wintertouched and the ones from AP.

Sounds like you don't have the Core Rules module open and are maybe using a copy of a Human ancestry record, not the one from the Core Rules. Please provide a screenshot of the "Select Human Heritage" selection window that appears when you drag the Human ancestry to a PC. Scroll down to the bottom of the list within the window, Half-Elf and Half-Orc will be displayed (assuming you have the Core Rules module open).

Also, for other people who might have a similar issue.

The commonly available pirated module won't be up to date and results in this scenario (not being able to see heritages from the CRB).

Please support your devs, both here and from paizo.

I do support them thank you, please don't assume I pirate because I'm having issues.

It is an issue people who pirate will have, I didn't say you were pirating but it is 100% worth mentioning.

If it doesn't apply to you then that is cool, this is why I wasn't quoting you directly :)

For the record I have a friend who did pirate which is why I am making the comment here as people can get the wrong idea regarding module functionality. (They bought the license and the APG but not the CRB and had forgotten)
