[Pathfinder] Mystic Godling and Godling, repetitive divine traits
« on: July 16, 2011, 07:41:40 PM »
Question about the Godling and Mystic Godling because I've got a player who is a Mighty Godling character.

The Hardy I divine trait makes it so that you do not require food to survive, but still need water. Hardy II makes it so you don't need food or water. Hardy III gives you a +4 bonus to all saving throws involving diseases and poisons. Hardy VI makes you immune to them.

Let's compare to Paramortal I. It's the equivalent of Hardy I and II, and you also age slower. Okay, so the benefit is what? That if you take Seaborn II you can breathe underwater and drink sea water safely? Could it not be argued that Paramortal would gain you the same benefit? Seems fair that it could. I'd be willing to make someone wait until Paramortal II, if needed. I'd also want to allow someone to take Hardy III if you have Paramortal II. You had to pay the same amount in order to get the exact same result afterall.

Just seems rather repetitive, and wasteful, that two divine traits give you the exact same ability for the first level or two, but don't end up with the same end result so you have to pay double.

That'd be like in 3.5 if you had to take Endurance to get Heat Endurance so you could get Diehard.

What do I do besides just house ruling it? I didn't see any erratas.

My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

I think I see the problem now, heh.

They make some rather questionable material sometimes.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

I e-mailed them personally (namely the guy I talked to on the paizo site who was promoting the game), but I haven't heard back. However, it was a Friday, and most companies have the weekend off. I'm hoping I hear something soon because I'd rather not have to house rule something if it doesn't need to be. I tend to make bad judgment calls.
