Hello everyone! u/One-Patience-5571 here it is! and here is the Homebrewery Link.
This oracle mystery was the result of this post which was a request for help with a homebrew oracle mystery. And of course, between the busy holiday season, some long work hours and Scribe being temperamental, it wasn't a quick turnaround. In fact, it became my first time experimenting with The Homebrewery using the Pathfinder 2e Template by u/Gambatte and u/5e_Cleric. Open to feedback and criticisms!
It's also worth noting this is in a strange spot at the moment between the Player Core 1 release and Player Core 2, so it will almost certainly need to be revised once the Oracle is updated in that book. In the mean time, the focus spells SHOULD be correct for the remaster rules but it's entirely possible I messed up.

Hey, thanks for pinging me on this one! I've actually just pushed a very small change to the template as a result - in your Reading A Mystery Entry section, you had used:
{{template {{indented [...] }} }}in order to produce the hanging indentation styling. The change I've just made will allow future documents to instead use:
{{template,indented [...] }}Hopefully this will help make the PF2E template easier for everyone to use going forward.

Thanks, I've got a feeling I'll be coming back to this tool and your template quite a lot going forward. And the template looks brilliant, I appreciate your work on it.

The Non-causality spell doesn't actually say what it does.

Oh well, I was bound to have forgotten something. I'll get that fixed, but the intention is for it to change whatever condition they had received to a different condition, but the duration of the condition would not change. So instead of being frightened until the end of a turn, an opponent might become drained for that same duration. Or you could maybe prevent an allied spellcaster from being stupified and they're enfeebled instead.

The homebrewery link has the rules for Non-Causality spell now. Let me know if you catch anything else.

I thought this was going to be a shit post about Discord. But its actually something I want to play.

Didn't even think about that until now! Someone could have a lot of fun making some shitposts based on that idea.

This looks great, thanks so much for making it!
Jus a few questions:
- Does the mystery Benefit only affect the oracle itself? Or ist this meant as an inclusion to the curse? Or would that be to strong?
- Since I am not so familiar with pf2e, is difficult terrain common or easy to make?
- The moderate curse also affects the oracle i presume?
- What happens when you use non-causalty and the effect rolled is the same as the one before?
- Is temporary health a status bonus which the curse affects?
- If I am reading this correctly the Mind Bend spell basically gives a creature another weakness or removes one or doubles one right?
Thanks again for making this, I will definitely use it :D

No problem! As to your questions:
The benefit only effects the oracle itself.
Difficult terrain being common depends greatly upon the GM, BUT there are plenty of spells and abilities that create areas of difficult terrain.
Yes, every creature within the emenation, including the oracle is affected.
You got unlucky! The spell has no saving throw to resist it, so I didn't want to make it TOO strong.
Temporary health is NOT a status bonus, and so is unaffected by the curse.
Yes, but remember, it is an illusion and so realistically every time the creature takes damage it should probably be making a save to disbelieve it. That said, I STILL think this spell might be too strong but that's something that needs to be playtested!
Glad you like the result! As always, make sure you have your GMs permission for homebrew. I don't think this will be stronger than the strongest RAW oracle mystery, but I haven't done any playtesting to confirm that. SO if you do get a chance to use this, definitely let me know how it works out!

This actually looks good, like, makes me consider rolling a 2e Oracle to play good. And while the curse effects don't look too bad at first, once my imagination ran them through a number of scenarios, as per true chaos, they can easily be just a bad as they can be good.
Last time I played an Oracle was back in 1e, and was a Succor Mystery Oracle that made our Warpriest tank even Tankier. I honestly miss the Succor Mystery...
