You are right, not so broken after all. I was already theorizing how with something like fast healing from Golden Body (capstone Monk feat) you could have ongoing wounded condition reduction. But that is not how it works I realized after reading your comment.
These things were obviously directly Inspired by an old Scify channel TV series about aliens coming to earth. their human bodyguards were given symbiotes that were basically This thing :)
Every thing about Ostilli Host looks balanced until you realise it is all about buffing a one action reflex save cantrip. This is an amazingly effective use of a 3rd action. For builds with a spare action and big two handed weapons this is great.
I just finished reading this in howl of the wild last night pretty neat archetype. This on the new bug guy race is a pretty neat and flavorful strange and alien option. I can see this being super fun in starfinder 2e as it really feels starfindery.
Actually looking at this whole thing in context makes me hope that paizo is willing to nerf splatbooks. Why is this slug better than most spellcaster feats in the game.
so, as someone who is just getting into PF2e (i've been learning about it for a while, but am waiting on the remasters to come out before i start buying and playing), this LOOKS like it may stack well with Thaumaturge.... or it could overlap and be redundant, not familiar enough with the game to be sure. but from a RP and "coolness factor" standpoint i think it works well. would suck if the mechanics just step on each other instead of adding functionality.
the way i spit my water when i saw that level 6 feat that was basically the same effect as an item in my campaign that is a SHARD OF GOD
This archetype might as well be Paizo's answer to Redditors who've been clamoring for the almighty 3rd action.
i think rai is to lose 1 wound condition.
it weirdly written but the idea is to recover wound on your next turn

I remember that show. Earth Final Conflict.
I've found it great for a swashbuckler who can get locked out of strikes after using a finisher

Wait wait wait wait wait, hear me out. Minotaur + Alarming Disappearance + Ostilli Host = Profit.
EDIT: Also, Spaying Mutation makes it effective against swarms.
So what exactly is an Ostilli Lore wise?
I don't see them in Pathfinder Wiki, so I assume it's a new thing.
The Ostilli are a type of magic eating grub raised by the new Surki ancestry
Hi I'm from the future and ostilli host can use Battle Harbinger's legendary class DC
Its just me and my little buddy against the world : ) !!!
Reminds me of a goahuld symbiote😅
This archetype is so good it makes me almost forgive it for the ick of having a slug burned into my skin 💜😆

Great content!

Best archetype ^^ !!!
Would you want to collab by chance? Im a newer UA-camr but a vet ttrpger
Sure! Though I am super busy till about September with all the book releases so remind me around then and we can set things up
I don't think I'd allow this on a non-Surki character. It's a natural symbiote tailored to that ancestry's specific biology.
I would agree.
Probably not great for Kineticist, still good but considerably less powerful than the others.
