Hirelings
Hirelings have received a couple changes.
Hirelings can be bought in any settlement at a level up to their settlement level.
Hirelings make their selected skill checks as follows: Proficiency + their level.
Hirelings charge based on their level, at a rate of 5 sp/day/level. The rate is doubled when adventuring with the party.
Example: You buy the services of Gugo, a skilled hireling with expert proficiency in religion. He is a level 12 hireling you found in Illuminar, a 20th level settlement. You ask him to look over some religious texts to determine the source of eternal evil, he informs you it will take three days. The total cost is (5*3*12)sp, for a total of 180 sp, or 18 gp. He makes his religion checks with a +16 bonus.
Faction Rewards
Every faction has the same set of faction rewards, based on your reputation with the faction you represent. You can pick one faction reward per tier.

These rewards may be retrained according to the usual rules for retraining feats.
Recall Knowledge
When you attempt to recall knowledge about a creature, rather than roll a specific skill/lore, you roll for all of your knowledge skills and lores at the same time. Effectively, this means that you aren't guessing the creature type based on appearances alone. Additionally, on a success (or critical failure) you may ask a specific question about the creature OR learn the most commonly known knowledge about the creature. On a critical success you may ask two questions or learn the two most common pieces of knowledge about the creature.
Two Session Lemon Law
Within two sessions of character creation you may respec your character in any way you see fit, including everything from ancestry to feats.
Within two sessions of leveling up, you may respec your newly selected feats, spells, etc freely. Remember, this only applies to your NEW feats, spells, etc.
Hero Points
Hero points may be spent to alter the narrative in a subtle way. The number of hero points required depends on the nature of the alteration. An example: There is a massive cliff that requires at least 200 feet of rope to climb down safely. You could spend a hero point to have retroactively purchased that rope before leaving town. Another example: You enter a tavern and want to know one of the patrons of the bar. You could spend a hero point to know the waitress, who just so happens to be your ex.
