    I know this is a little off topic but the Samsaran really makes me think of my favorite film: Om Shanti Om, which is about a young couple who get murdered by a corrupt film producer, only to be reincarnated but don't gain their memories until their adulthood. There's a really beautiful sequence where the main character finds his mother, now elderly and best friend and finally recognizes them.

      Awww cool. I've never watched an Indian film yet. I think I'll take a look at this one. I love the music and spirituality from that region; thanks! :)

    "Honey, you cheated on me with the genie!"
    "No, I didn't, I swear!"
    "Then why does 'our' baby have blue skin?"
    "It's a samsaran."
    Samsaran Weapon Memory is kinda busted. Compare it to human Unconventional Weaponry, you can pick two weapons (instead of one), it has no restriction on rarity (as opposed to uncommon only), and it allows advanced weapons (as opposed to simple or martial). That's nuts.

      Hahaha blue baby. Then the baby in an high pitched but adult sounding voice; No father, mother is correct I'm simply a Samsaran.

    • @WisdomCheck
      @WisdomCheck  26 дней назад +3

      Love this scenario. lol
      YES. The Samsarans will just make BETTER versions of many Advanced Weapon builds than whatever Ancestry they actually came from.

    • @MrTallFrog
      @MrTallFrog 25 дней назад +2

      It does still limit a decent amount, it has to have the dwarf, elf, gnome, goblin, halfling, or orc trait to pick. As far as I can see, there isn't a human or leshy trait. This is 34 weapons. Unconventional weaponry has 47 options from just ancestry traits, then you still can get cultural weapons as well. So unconventional weaponry gives access to way more.
      Also, unconventional weaponry and Samsaran Weapon Memory effectively work the same for advanced weapons, letting you treat them as martial. You wouldn't pick an advanced weapon with this since it you'd still end up untrained if you weren't trained in martial weapons.

    "All this has happened before" is going to amazing for Mastermind rogues. Granted, Samsarans in general seem very nice indeed for MM.

    • @WisdomCheck
      @WisdomCheck  26 дней назад +1

      Yeah agreed. On both counts. Samsarans are going to be a skill monkey no matter WHAT class you play.

    "Ha! You can't kill me, I am a Samsaran! I will re-roll my failed SA-WHY DID I FAIL AGAIN!"
    Consecutive low roll moment. Our gunslinger during his first combat rolled a Nat1 on his first attack. Used a hero point... Rolled a Nat1 again.....

    • @WisdomCheck

      Hahahhaha oh that sucks. That's why I make Hero Points give you a success. You don't reroll, you just do the thing.

    @FireBowProductions 26 дней назад +6

    Can you imagine a Samsaran in Starfinder 2E that has memories from Pre-Gap? That has to be frustrating.
    EDIT: Also, to paraphrase Tyrion: "I die and I know things."

    • @WisdomCheck
      @WisdomCheck  26 дней назад +2

      Wow that would be really annoying. NOBODY would believe you.

    @christopherg2347 23 дня назад +3

    19:57 That one is missing Untrained Improvisation, to make the check remotely feasible. But with that, it is close to being trained in every skill.
    25:29 Useful if you have some easily healing or are rarely attacked (backliner). Or if you have a source of Temp HP.

    Some confusion I have, do samsaran change heritage with each new life ? what about versatile heritages ? can a samsaran Sylph reincarnate into a samsaran changeling ?
    How does an undead samsaran work ? Will they try an become undead in their next life as well ?
    This ancestry also somehow feels like to me like it would have made more sense as a versatile heritage.
    That said I do like the idea of a samsara chef which tries to learn a different place cooking each life

    • @WisdomCheck
      @WisdomCheck  26 дней назад +1

      I really like the chef idea.
      YES! Versatile Heritage would make SO much more sense.
      Maybe it's easiest to look at it this way: Heritages (versatile or otherwise) are recessive traits that any Samsaran could have, and any Samsaran can have physical or mental traits of any past Ancestry. But the Samsaran Ancestry is always dominant.
      Meaning that even though you will be reborn as a blue-skinned Samsaran with memories of the past, you can still have recessive traits of past lives like physical characteristics or even a versatile heritage bleed into your new body.

      Brother should get an air filter at least for the recording room. Being that he talks alot in there he probably breathes more in that room than any other room.

    • @WisdomCheck
      @WisdomCheck  26 дней назад +1

      The air in Phoenix is so dry that the the cat hair just drifts through the air if it's light enough. It takes a long time to land and then it clings to things from static electricity. It's really hard to get it off of my face without using water.

      I have 2 air filters (Phoenix has frequent high pollution advisory warnings) already, but they're too loud for the recording room.
