Commenting on the price of full plate between a halfling and a minotaur, don't consider it in terms of raw materials (unless steel is somehow rare in your world) but the *craftsmanship* involved in creating the armor. Labor is often more expensive than parts, especially in high-skill-bar craftsmanship like platemail armor.
1:23:52 Minotaur stalking the labyrinth is the mythological basis. Some of their ancestry feats further emphasize how frightening it would be to lose sight of such a massive monstrosity.
Could also be a reference to a WoW Tauren joke discussing how you've never managed to see a Tauren sneaking around the forest because they're so good at it.
Halfling full plate being cheaper than Minotaur full plate just makes sense. If you're down to homebrew, you could impose sizes to armor: S, M, and L: +/- 20% of the cost, so a multiplier of 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 respectively. Small ancestries and Large ancestries can't realistically fit into eachothers' armor, but maybe a Large can 'squeeze' into Medium sized armor at the cost of 1 AC, and Halflings could 'fumble' in Medium armor for -5 movement speed. Medium sized races could take the penalty going up or down into Small or Medium armor, with the exception of Dwarves who could wear Small or Medium with no penalty, and Centaurs who can wear Medium or Large with no penalty.
I don't have the book. Do you gents reckon that I could reskin a centaur as a drider without changing much (if anything) about the ancestry traits? I like how the art for driders in pathfinder gives the humanoid body more arachnid morphology.
Honestly I think you'd be better off cribbing the awakened animal (climbing animal) stats. You can still be large and there's more relevant ancestry feats for an arachnid aesthetic there.
I’ve read a comment elsewhere that pointed out that flying up is considered difficult terrain, so the flying awakened animal level 1 feat would be much less effective when flying up. I had never heard of the rule before!
even though my name is not pronounced corerctly, it's fine episode is again on fire :D (you can say it like Matt+hice). I had a nice oneshot idea for awakened animals, what if a party's minds were transferred into zoo animals. and something was about to happen to those zoo animals like being transported to different zoos in the world. Then it's a sort of prison escape as an animal, and functioning as an awakened animal in a metropolis like absolom were some npcs you encounter in the streets want to capture you for the dark market, for the butcher, or for their private collection haha. and their task is to return to their own bodies or something

41:40 - The weapon ancestry feats are nice if you're playing a martial class that doesn't get critical specialization for the weapon you want to use
Great stuff, thanks for the episode!

I love the 4 centaur party that just stacks into one totem pole
Loved it, thanks for the shoutout homies!
Oh and John absolutely needs to become canon, I will riot if not
The Rules Lawyer did a whole Centaur Stack build.

The plural of moose is moose.
It might sound SUPER lame (and it may actually BE super lame) but I'm convinced the sneaky minotaur is a reference to WoW Tauren rogue memes.
Yes, yes they are!
