Don't get me wrong, this looks good for what it is, but... still no Warlord or Artificer?
I'm not exactly sure what an Artificer would be, but from the sound of the name, they may not want to bother creating an entire class that is banned from PFS. Maybe it could be an archetype?
Don't get me wrong, this looks good for what it is, but... still no Warlord or Artificer?I'm not sure what the Warlord would do that's not covered by existing characters.
As for the Artificer... no point in creating a class that no one in PFS could play. The class's sole reason for existence is item crafting, an activity specifically banned in that campaign. And PFS is definitely a non-trivial segment of the Pathfinder community.
I think he meant Warlock, but I'm not sure. Although, it seems the Psychic Magic classes in the recently announced Occult Adventurers might have something for an 'all day blaster'.
The PDF has a mistake in the bookmarks. All of the Shaman archtypes are included under the Rogue drop-menu.
Question: Does a 1st level Investigator receive 1 inspiration + Int or is the minimum 1 inspiration something that happens after the addition of Int to the equation?
The latter. If it was a minimum of 1 from your level, it would read like this:
1/2 the investigator's level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier.
Okay, this question might be stupid but I just looked at the Swashbuckler for the first time (since I don't like Renaissance stuff in my sword & sorcery and one of his parent classes is gunslinger I ignored him so far), do I understand it right, that as long as he has 1 Panache point and is of the appropriate level Kip-Up, Menacing Swordplay, Precise Strike, Swashbuckler Initiative, Swashbuckler's Grace, Superior Feint, Evasive, Subtle Blade, Perfect Thrust and Swashbuckler's Edge are all passively active?O_O Meaning at level 20 he gets +20 on all damage rolls and has Evasion and Improved Uncanny Dodge all the time?

Yes.
Yes.
Thank you. The ancient elves in my homebrew setting fight mostly with short swords and buckler. Strange that Paizo now releases a class that is that perfect for them. :D

Daggers and Starknives only. Deadly Dealer transforms cards into darts, so it doesn't work.I have a question about the Swashbuckler: Flying Blade, can you use him with the Deadly Dealer Feat or does he throw just Star/Knives??
Thy for the quick answer...(^.^)
I would so houserule to allow this though, on cool-factor alone!

How long after general release does Amazon get the books? I pre-ordered there and they still don't have them in stock to ship.
Paizo doesn't sell direct to Amazon so they won't know.
It is in distribution and 3rd party retailers are selling it which is about all Paizo can control.
I would say contact Amazon, but that's a black hole. My suggestion is buy through a company with better customer service or that at least pays enough attention to give accurate dates on products. Miniature Market has some listed in stock, have a decent discount, and I've gotten good service from them in the past (though I generally don't order books from them).
I pretty much buy all my books from Amazon. Even with the delayed release for not buying directly from Paizo, it's quicker (and vastly cheaper) to get books from Amazon.ca

The copy of the ACG sitting on my shelf begs to differ with 'quicker'. As for cheaper, the link I posted from Miniature Market is $4 less than the Amazon price. Depending on shipping/ Prime membership, etc you may well be able to get it from Miniature Market both quicker and cheaper.

Canada is part of New Zanada, nicest country in the world!
http://www.buzzfeed.com/simoncrerar/new-zanada-is-the-nicest-country-in-the -world
My ACG sitting here in London, UK, also disagrees with him.
Mine, in Gloucester, UK, also. Though we are both RPG line subscribers, so ours got shipped in the first week of August (mine arrived on Tuesday just gone), while non-subs won't have even had a look-in before 14 Aug.
I will say this for Paizo's international shipping: 9-36 days? Yeah, longest wait I've had is about 12 days in the UK.
whoo boy i got a lot of brawler planned out. brawler class with brawler armor wearing brawler brass knuckles. dirty fighting specialist ftw!
Still waiting for my subscription copy, but I live in New Zealand. I think mine might be the last to arrive..
It really isn't. My aggravating inability to stream Lost Girl and Continuum legally makes that painfully clear.Maybe he means for non-US customers?Canada isn't part of United States? ;)
But those are Canadian shows...
Entertainment licensing, it makes no sense.

I'm fairly confident he meant Warlord as in the 4E Warlord, whose entire schtick is the entirety of the rest of the party is his/her weapon. "You, attack that guy!" And the targeted ally gets a free attack/spell/whatever on the Warlord's turn. The class is built around things like that, and a lot of people seem to be interested in a Pathfinder equivalent, either as a class of its own or as an archetype (common suggestions seem to hover around Cavalier or Bard).

Same, most certainly.
Hmmm. Kinda want to make a swashbuckler with a falcata now that I have the means to do it.
I am doing that right now....it works well....and will be great at 3rd level.

Mine arrived today, in the merry old land of Aus, and I must say I'm quite impressed. I was surprised at the number of typos and reference errors but the overall content is fantastic. Several of the new classes will really excite members of my gaming group, me personally I want to give the Slayer, Swashbuckler and Hunter a spin. Thankfully I'm currently running a game so I can try out some variations of these on my enemies...err PC's.
On a different note I got one with the Adventure Path Title rather than the RPG title. I like it, it appeals to the collector in me to have a misprinted cover. I may get a copy without the error and keep this one as a shiny salute to the depth of my first world problems (now if I can only get the barrista to make my double decaf, caramel mochacinno with a neat little picture on top)

That's the problem. I'm in the States, they're Canadian shows, so no legal streaming for me.
Er... Are you sure? I'm seeing three seasons of Continuum and four seasons of Lost Girl available on the US Netflix.

Oh, I know I can get them on Netflix. That's how I have been watching them, in fact. But that's the previous years'. I want the ones on now. Where's my day-after-broadcast Hulu, dangit?
(If I'm lucky I'll only have to wait until next July to see Season Five of Lost Girl and Season 4 of Continuum. If I'm unlucky, Season Four of Continuum won't happen...)
I have a question, do slayers get minor/major magic rogue talents or not? Dont have my book in front of me but, despite it being listed as an example for prerequisites, its not on the actual list.
I hope not, those are pretty bad trap options. I just copied and pasted, didn't read.
ogue talents in place of a slayer talent: bleeding
attack*, camouf lageAPG, combat trick, fast stealth,
f inesse rogue, f irearm trainingUC, gritUC, hard to foolAPG,
lasting poisonAPG, powerful sneakAPG, rogue crawl,
slow reactions*, snap shotAPG, sniper’s eyeAPG, surprise
attack, swift poisonAPG, terrain masteryUC, trap spotter,
unwitting allyUC, or weapon training. Any talent effects
based on rogue level use the slayer’s class level. A slayer
can select this talent multiple times. If the rogue talent
has a prerequisite (such as the major magic rogue talent
requiring the minor magic talent), the slayer must fulf ill
the prerequisite before taking that rogue talent. This
talent can be selected multiple times; each time, it grants
the slayer a new rogue talent.

So, I've sent a couple of emails to customer.services, but have not heard back, so I am going to try this channel. This should have been the first item in my subscription purchase, but it was not. There were issues with the system taking my subscription, so maybe the choice of first item got messed up.
In any case, I would like to get this as the first item of my subscription. Could someone please contact me.

I'm not sure if this is the forum for it but I really hope that at some point in the future Slayer gets altered so that you can combine total class levels from the parent classes (Rogue and Ranger)in order to qualify for advanced talents and the Ranger combat style talent.
The class is a great blend of the two parent classes but things like that tend to get in the way when you try to go somewhere other than a 50/50 split.
That´s a fairly good point!
I finally got it, and it looks quite good, aside from the typos and occasionally unclear bits. (For example, has any developer specified yet that the Pummelling style feats only work with unarmed strikes?)
My main disappointments: the Shaman spirits are limited to those from the APG (what about a Time or Metal spirit as per UM?), and the Bloodrager bloodlines are limited to those from the Core Rulebook (what about a Starsoul Bloodrager from the APG, or an Accursed one from UM, not to mention all the bloodlines found in the Golarion-specific products?). And I would have loved to see Warpriest blessings for the Void and Scalykind domains.
I hope that the Powers That Be find some way to address these issues! :)

Advanced Class Guide is a setting neutral book, so Golarion specific material won't show up in it.

Same here - felt like some extras could have been put it, as the book seems slimmer than the APG. Would certainly be enticed by a product that had these spirits and bloodlines.
