In May 2016, Paizo released an update to Ultimate Equipment, neutering several beloved items. Below is a list of the changes:

> Page 137—In conductive, change the last sentence to “A given character can use this weapon special ability only once per round (even if she has several conductive weapons), and the power works only with magical abilities of the same type as the weapon (melee or ranged).“
> Page 138—In courageous, in the last sentence, after “any morale bonus” add “on saving throws against fear”. In cunning, change the second sentence to read “Whenever the weapon’s attack is a critical threat, wielder gains a +4 bonus on the confirmation roll if she has 5 or more ranks in a Knowledge skill that would be used to identify the target’s creature type, or a +6 bonus instead if she has 15 or more ranks.”
> Page 173—In ring of revelation, in the first paragraph, in the last sentence, at the end add “, and Use Magic Device doesn’t allow a character to gain a revelation from this ring”.
> Page 222—In quick runner’s shirt, in the second sentence, change “on his turn” to “and then immediately end his turn, losing any unspent actions. A character must wear this shirt continuously for 24 hours before he can activate this ability.”
> Page 245—In jingasa of the fortunate soldier, in the f irst sentence change “luck” to “def lection”. In the second sentence, change “Once per day when” to “When”. At the end, add “This ability functions only once, though the jingasa continues to grant its deflection bonus even after the other ability is expended.”
> Page 272—In bracer’s of falcon’s aim, change the final sentence to “Once per day, on command, the wearer gains the benefits of aspect of the falcon for 1 minute. The wearer must wear these bracers continuously for 24 hours before activating this ability.”
>Page 116—In brawling, change the price and cost to “+3 bonus”.

As /pfg/ put it:

>“You know. I thought Paizo hating martials was a meme. I thought they were just incompetent,” said one anon. “But no, this proves it. This *** proves it. They hate martials. Not just martials, they hate anything that even has to DO damage. Holy ***. “
>“They ACTUALLY unironically hate martials so *** much, I can’t wrap my head around it,” agrees another anon.
>“Damage breaks the game, Anon,” counters a third Anon, with no hint of sarcasm whatsoever, nope. “At least when you’ve permanently rewritten their minds to forever follow your every whim and wish no matter what, you haven’t HURT them. You’ve liberated them from their Lawful Evil mindset with magic and intelligence; the Good of the setting! “

Long and short, is there a way to revert these changes back to their pre-nerf mechanics? Or is there a chance I can beg for there to be a thing to have a Luck-based Jingasa or +1 Brawling?
