Pathfinder Second Edition - PFRPG2 Ruleset - Status, issues and ongoing development

[Trenloe]

I'm still new to this whole Fantasy Grounds thing. Are there ever patch notes for each release of a rules update? So we can see what changed and was updated and whatnot.

Yes. They're detailed, when released, in the City Hall forum. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...p?37-City-Hall

[Mogloth]

Cool. Thanks.

Welcome, Mogloth.

The patch notes for each week's release is posted in City Hall by lokiare (James Holloway). He posts the patch notes in a thread each week. Those notes are broken down by ruleset/module.

I guess Trenloe beat me to it. Well, I guess that's what I get for not forcing a refresh of my browser...

The GRANTCA effect is redundant; everything that this effect does, the Flat-footed effect already accomplishes.

This is less an actual report and more of a pipe dream request, but having the CA effect and targeting another creature with this effect currently does not trigger any "IFT: Flat-footed" effects the attacking creature has (like a sneak attack effect, for instance).

Yes, in theory it is redundant, but it's left in for longer term users who may have that coded somewhere in their effects.

Apply Flat-Footed to the target and then use effect targeting from that target back to the source - this will only apply Flat-footed when the target is attacked by the source actor. IFT: Flat-footed on the source actor will work.

I can't see how you would use the Flat-Footed condition to achieve everything the CA and GRANTCA does.

Both CA and GRANTCA require targets, which means one can be flat-footed against specific targets / specific targets be flat-footed against only them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Flat-footed condition apply a blanket bonus to everyone that is targeting the actor. This would make things like flanking very awkward, as flanking only provides the Flat-footed bonus to those who are actually doing the flanking. There are also a number of special features / feats which provide the bonus to only certain actors in certain conditions.

GRANTCA doesn't actually require a target, and if untargeted, the effect holder is treated as flat-footed against all attackers, meaning it does actually apply a blanket bonus under normal circumstances. Additionally, the flat-footed effect actually can be targeted, and if done so, only the creatures targeted by the flat-footed effect pay attention to the effect holder's -2 circumstance penalty to AC, so it doesn't have to be a blanket bonus.

Heritages do not automatically apply their traits, like applying low-light vision for half-orc. I assume this is known, but better to report stuff than not to.

Correct. That's why the chargen tracker says, in big red letters: "Manually apply features of the selected heritage...". I'd recommend you pay close attention to the message in the chargen tracker - especially the ones that are in big red letters with "+++" at the beginning - that means you have to do something manually.
