| Description | Automated import from Google spreadsheet. Hi, An issue of conversion, related to the transition from free to commercial site, I presume. Some traits in past Paizo Golarion-based products were limited to characters with specific in-world connections (specific Factions, National origins, etc.). What I see is players not realizing the renamed Traits are supposed to be limited there. While the embedded trait db list may indicate that membership in a certain faction or other origin is required, the detailed page does not indicate this well. The "Slippery (Flower Network)" trait is an example. Originally with a different name, it required membership in the Bellflower Network faction and a degree of Fame there, so was not available to starting characters. As described on the site (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/combat-traits/slippery-bellflower-network) this requirement is not clear (the name is displayed as "Slippery (Flower Network)" and no other mention is made of requirements. What I would propose you consider is a note to the effect "When originally published this rules element had a requirement for a specific nation or faction membership. GMs are encouraged to consider the same in their own games when re-using the content." This has been mostly visible in traits, but I imagine it would apply to other Golarion-specific elements with Requirements... Feats and Prestige Classes being most likely. Thanks for your time. | ||||
