I kinda love how Pathfinder took a totally different route to the Warhammer Skaven, and leant into the positive aspects of being a wee social rodent.
The Skaven are a deliberately that way, they are less a people and more a running joke dialed up to 11. Ysoki are a people, there are some who are like Skaven but there are those who are just a little guy who works a shop because each is an individual.
@Gibbons3457
Skaven are just Ysoki Emo who never grew out of it.
True, though I'd be lying if I said I haven't tried to roleplay a CE Ratfolk Alchemist as basically a Skaven. Only ended up being a one-shot, but quite amusing
I don’t care I’m still playing them as Skaven
I'm not SAYING that Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove had Adopted Ancestry (Ysoki) and then took Rat Speech... but I am going to imply that he did.
Squeak Squeakin' Squeak Squeaks
Ackchyually: Adopted Ancestry works with Common ancestries, and the Ratfolk are Uncommon. Still, pretty good reference.
@@SuikoRyos I'm not saying that Kronk from the Emperor's New Groove had a player who asked their GM for access to an Uncommon Ancestry and also requested that Adoped Ancestry's effects applied to that Ancestry's feats for the purposes of a Human character; and thus then took Adopted Ancestry (Ysoki) and subsequently Rat Speech... but I am going to imply that such was the case.
You're right, the joke is MUCH better like that.
@@BloodiedShingle It is now!!!
@@SuikoRyos That's nice, don't care. Still letting my players do it.
"do you have a healer's kit?"" I sure do!" * reaches into mouth *
One of my favorite 1e characters was a Ratfolk Alchemist who was looking for his missing family member. While on Absolom Station, a member of the Yoski race was looking for his brother.
This video just made me realize that burrow speed is better than fly speed. Archers can't hit you when burrowed and fifteen feet is too far for the melee enemy to hit you inside the hole
Plus, the hole is small sized. Anything bigger than you has to attempt to squeeze through a narrow space just to follow you. Provided that they don't have their own burrow speed.
Pair this with Rat Form to turn into a Tiny rat and almost nothing bigger than you can follow without a burrow speed or magic.
Not to mention it’s a lot easier to sneak around without being seen when under the ground instead of soaring through the open air.
Yeah, it's OP
I played a ratfolk alchemist. She stored her bombs in her cheek pouches. It freaked the rest of the party out.
If she receive a punch in the face It would happen that one gif that plays after SpongeBob drops a pie bomb in squidward face
Warren Digger would be amazing on scouting and snare builds, both of which ratfolk are great for.
I'm surprised that Pack Rat works for storing things in vehicles. Imagine a merchant ship crewed by Ratfolk and how profitable they could be.
To outsiders, it would look like a complete mess, but to them, it's a delicately maintained chaos.
We put the Rat in Pirate
"According to physics the bulk of this vessel should make it unsailable... Say that again? Pack Rat? Yeah that explains it. Carry on friends."
I like the level 13 burrow speed for my current desert rat ysoki laughing shadow magus. Laughing Shadow in arcane cascade stance get a +10 bonus to any speeds they have. In 3 levels he can have a 25 foot burrow speed for situational shenanigans and swiftly sneak while doing it.
Newbie here. Is burrowing enough to create a shelter in cold environments or are there other requirements beyond simply reducing exposure to the elements?
lvl 13 is where some ancestries get swim speed or increase their specific uncommon speed. I'm pretty interested by the ability to burrow honestly, in many campaigns that's quite amazing (going through tunnels...); imagine an ysoki acting as a spy, he'd be able to burrow sneakily to the other side of a cavern or grotto, that's pretty sick.
So how long until we start seeing a streak of blue-furred Ysoki Sylph Monks rolling around at the speed of sound?
Rat form, and Warren Digger seem like a really good combination as I am pretty sure you would keep the burrow speed in that form. This just seems like an extremely effective escape method as even in a pretty rocky area I would say that a tiny little rat could find some softer earth allowing them to escape.
I am fairly new to Pathfinder and was introduced to it by a DM from a D&D game. When I was talking to him about a homebrew game where I was playing as a Ratfolk, he told me that Pathfinder actually has a Ratfolk Race, or ancestry as the case may be. So far, for the past few months, I've been playing as a Ratfolk Fighter.
So far, he's a level 4 dual wielding powerhouse with a duelist dedication that gives him quickdraw and Mark of Inari that gives him a resistance to fire damage, darkvision due to one of the feats and Cindersoul to staunch bleeding, acid and poison damage with a flatcheck of 10 instead of 15.
I'm loving the game so far and just recently played the same game that was on hiatus for a month due to work schedules. Its good to be back!!!
Take a like and comment for the Skaven refference. Very nice. :)
15 foot burrow speed actually seems more impressive, when you consider the fact that you are burrowing 15 feet through the ground within the span of 6 seconds. Kind of sounds like you just pull a full Looney Tunes and kick up a cloud of dust behind you.
Within 30 minutes.
Not quite 20 but still.
Now when do we talk about Anadi?
I like spiders, and they're just about as wholesome as the mice
Thanks for the new Ancestry guide. Hopefully the remaining count yet untouched won't dissuade you from doing more. I'd love to see your thoughts on ones like Gnolls and Kitsunes.
This has to be the most lowkey 'R' rated episode of Nonats ever
I'm playing an elderly Suli/Ysoki Kineticist in Fist of the Ruby Phoenix right now, he's quite fun to play. He's one of the leaders of Round Mountain, a Ysoki settlement that spent centuries trapped in a demiplane, and once they got back to Golarion he went to the Ruby Phoenix tournament in hope of gaining a reward that could help his town. I haven't found a need yet for the Rat Form feat I took, but I do think it could be useful in a variety of situations.
6:16 makes me laugh uncontrollably its a good bit
At level 9, Usoki can use the pest form forever at any time - that's pretty cool. Until you find out that Kitsune can do the same at, literally, level 1 😅
My wife wants to play a Ratfolk barbarian who is (Red) draconic Instinct. Yes, she wants to play a spicy rat.
Holy first.. I've always wanted to do that..
So I love gaining the ability to just spit out anything you need, that would be so amusing to mess with dms or for dms to then mess with players in things they didn't see coming.
*gasp* MY BABIES! 🤩
Imagine trying to hunt down an Ysoki Rogue with both the rat form and burrow speed ancestral feats.
They could hide a small barrel or chest a foot or two underground with an open hole/side for entry, with some water and food stored, litter these all around the place as makeshift safe-houses and stashes in areas they're going to be Rogue-ing and hide out until the heat from a heist or assassination or shenanigans dies down.
Played a Ratfolk Investigator, had some fun with it, even if it was trying to slog through Agents of Edgewatch. Got some use out of ratspeak to get a bit of direction from a rat in a warehouse, then a bit later was the only one who understood Aklo to talk to some kind of dimensional spider, so they started to think he was Dr. Doolittle.
I love Ysoki! My only Starfinder character was an Ysoki Mystic. Fun times.
I’ve never wanted to play rat folk until now. Thanks for the deep dive.
Great video Nonat! I will now sit and patiently wait until you are prepared to unfold the majesty of the Conrasu for the masses to behold.
I am a Ratfolk Inventor in a Extinction Curse and I enjoy it greatly roleplaying a Skaven that is a weapons inventor from Alkenstar
Thanks for the Ancestry video. I really love these dives into the ancestries! ❤
Hey man, haven't been able to watch much of your stuff lately, just wanted say always appreciate it and am glad you make these videos. Keep it up 😊
Lolololol. The subtitles said "Howdy my name is nonad"
I can't wait till my PCs encounter the Ratfolk in my world
In most outdoor encounters burrow is like fly but with concealment and cover for free. Its a very underrated travel speed and often comes with tremorsense which is useful even when not burrowing
Boneswarm is cool thematically but since I’m playing a giant instinct barbarian already, whirlwind attack is basically a larger boneswarm! So that 6th level harm is actually super appreciated for healing because no one ever specs negative energy spells to heal the party skele 😢
Ah Yes, the best Ancestry, The Glorious Skaven. :-D
PS: Another Ancestry Guide in the next 2 Years ?! DONT Promise things you cant hold up Nonat :-P
Your videos are top of the search algorithm
First ever character was a desert ratfolk monk. I've played mouse and ratfolk paladins in 5e, and my last character I played in P2e was my (constantly mentioned) tunnel Ratfolk Summoner who's eidolon was the spirit of his twin sister.
My TTRPG group refers to me as the Rat because I play so many rodent characters...Needless to say, these babies are my favorite and I love them so much.
I would love to see you opinion on the Hobgoblin ancestry, it's nutty
It's old, but it's here!

@@Nonat1s they've been updated since then, with level 17 feats now
Somewhere Nagash just shuddered and has no idea why.
Hmmmm. Man converting all my stuff from 5e to Pathfinder is going to be such a huge task. I have Ratfolk and Micefolk. Ratfolk are a medium sized mice are small. I already have an idea of how I am going to do this. Instead of Ratfolk I am going to call them the Muridae which is the family that Rats, Mice, and gerbils are found in. My heritages are a lot more indepth then the ones pathfinder has. Things like size, speed, darkvision and more are part of the heritage. (taken from the idea of 3.5 having Wild Dwarves and Artic Dwarves that were small creatures). I also have ethnicities which are kinda the learned vs inherited.
i like your videos helps to learn pf. i was thinking of making one of them as a barbarian you know just for laughs
I love my ratfolk sniper from an online play-by-post game. He has vicious incisors so it's not a problem to use a two handed ranged weapon. The first combat of the game he got a crit and he just keeps getting them at opportune times.
Shave looks good. Keep it clean bro.
I was building a rat folk character and came to the conclusion a party of Rat folk in a campaign would be super fun.
This ancestry seems like a very fun idea for investigators!
My dungeon master is getting the second edition for our next campaign. I want to play a rat folk inventor
Cast concentration spell burrow straight down and be no touchy
I want you to know that, while I have not had a chance to play them yet, I have planned out a ysoki bomber alchemist who stores their bombs in their cheek pouches
If a game gives me the ability to play a rat, I'm gonna play a rat.
Ysoki are probably my favorite ancestry, and I'm glad they made a return in PF2e. In PF1e I had a ratfolk gulch gunner (best gunslinger class variant fight me) who was one of my favorite characters. Also, I'd say rat form would be really good for scouting or stealthing a place, but I guess it varies from campaign to campaign.
I hope there will be video about Kitsune ancestry
its ok. nonat, we still accept you. and fang-you for the vid
12:55 You're going to bite a glass bottle?
I have the idea for a Sewer Rat plague doctor now and I want to play it so bad lol. Take the lab rat feat and the plague sniffer feat plus the medic dedication maybe a cleric or investigator with the medical sun class and boom
Unfortunately I think that you have to be a long snout ratfolk to get plague sniffer, but wether you choose long snout or sewer rat the idea sounds awesome!
YSOKIIIIIIIIII
I can't believe they made Jerma into an Ancestry
Nice!
pack rat + cheek pouch = 6 items?
I legitimately hate the 17th level ancestry feat for Ysoki. There's no other choices, so no matter what kind of character you're playing you just GET BIG, and that's really boring and some people just never use it.
Hello Nonat1s, I wanted to ask, what is the best place to create a pathfinder 2 game? Roll20? or do you recommend any other?
Does Cheek Pouches benefit from Pack Rat?
I love when he said "it's Skaven time" and Skavend all over the place.
It's pretty RAT
Ratfolk are pretty weak in their innate starting features. They're similar to Goblins, but only have low light vision instead of Darkvision.
I think Ratfolk should either all get Darkvision, or something else like one of their first level ancestry feats.
Comment
I... Wha?
I am still bummed that they made it so you couldn’t talk clearly with items in your mouth. Starfinder has better Ysoki. 😀 Yes, I have Ysoki characters in Pathfinder and Starfinder.
And I couldn't watch after Cheek Pouches.
I get not wanting to be upbeat about the game, but as a new player if an option is terrible. If it is so bad that's it's a trap, or useless. You HAVE to be upfront about that.
A species feat, a very valuable resource, that replaces a cheap compass or cheaper set of tools is absolutely terrible and has to be called out as such. If you're calling it fantastic I cannot trust your evaluation on other items that interact with parts of the game I don't know about.
