Can we get a little more information on the Demon-sworn witch ?

They make an additional pact with a demonic entity that corrupts her connection with her Patron, all their Hexes cause Damage to their target, and they get a Quasit.
It's very accessible for non-evil characters, and goes out of its way to avoid singing your alignment. The Abyss isn't picky about the star your soul arrives in.

Anything about it stand out as hard to re-skin Diabolical instead ?

Ooooo yeah, I just reread it and noticed all the callouts that would mean you could have a Good aligned one, it's very flavorful and makes me like the archetype a whole lot more.

You'd just need to replace the Quasit with an Imp I guess.

Yes but thematically—especially the WAY in which you get your Quasit—is not very Infernal.

I am suddenly interested in this book.

I'd love to know more about that new Psychic Archtype :0
It's about time they got some more Archtypes.
I'm itching to see that as well :P
*raises hand* Is sonic an element?
I love the fear Aural Insight. It gives blind sense for a turn as a move action. I just wish it did not have such heavy prerequisites.

Okay so I bought my copy of the PDF, but here is my question: With the Beastkin Berserker, do you have to select specific animals at each increment? Or if you pick say, a hawk, you can use it at any of the sizes for beast shape X?
I have been looking through things, and there is a frighteningly slim amount of actual beasts that have Medium/Large/Huge forms; the ones that do are just templated one or two times, commonly with the Advanced and Giant simple templates.
And since "Triceratops" and "Badger" are called out as the example of how specific your option is, it seems that you have to pick a specific kind of animal, and not say (Snakes) or (Birds) or (Wolves)?
If that is the case, then you are basically forced to choose your next size increment form 2-3 levels before you can actually shape-shift into it, and you can't establish any kind of common theme without a lot of legwork.
I want to hope that this can't possibly be how this is supposed to work.
We already have a single-animal-themed scale-the-size shapeshifting barbarian (mooncursed archetype). Getting a better beast shape also improves the abilities you get, so you could choose to pick a larger size later if you don't think it's worth it to pick it early. But no, you do not scale the animal's size, nor do you pick an animal category. You're not trading out a whole bunch for the ability, after all.
So got my copy this morning....some of the flavor information about the different regions is certainly interesting.
But I found most of the mechanics to be "Meh"....very little of what I had hoped for came to pass.
I think the Psychic archetype is about the only thing that is of any real interest to me.
Ok, I’m blind and I might have just missed it, but did they put crafting DC’s somewhere for the new alchemical items? I don’t see them anywhere, and I think last months alchemical items didn’t have DC’s for them either. I hope I’m just missing something and this isn’t the new way of doing things.

Nope, unfortunately not.
And you are right about last month´s missing Craft DC´s too, Valantrix1.The last five Players companions have been badly edited imo (always a problem with so many different people working on a book).
Let´s hope decembers Potions and Poisons won´t be the same. ;-)

Linda and I noticed that for this book (and as I recall, a few others), and we've added some Craft DCs to the Campaign Clarifications document. The latest version should be appearing on the website any day now.

Thank you John, that will be very helpful.
No stuff for kobolds. How very sad.
Munavri stuff gives me a raise of the eyebrows, given that they... aren't really largely intended to be a PC race.
I feel the same way about the lack of stuff....or even mention of the Caligni/Darkfolk.....very disappointing....

It's about time they got some more Archtypes.
The new psychic archetype is called the Psychic Marauder, and its story is that contact with an alien consciousness has made you... odd. You lose some phrenic amplifications and the mind-reading stuff inherent to psychics in return for an aura that drives enemies mad and an increasing resistance to confusion and insanity effects.
I see the Psychic archetype didn't pass muster for PFS, so I'm going to skip this book and wait for it online.
I have a question about the 'Sense Metals and Minerals' feat; just how may published adventures and APs has Paizo done where this would be a good feat to take? I'm not asking to complain, I really would like to know.
Seeing some official ideas on how to handle PCs making a mining claim w0uld also be helpful.
I'm thinking Second Darkness, Serpent's Skull, Giantslayer, Ironfang Invasion, and possibly Kingmaker as well.
I knew about Kingmaker, thanks, but where do you get a chance to get some mining in during Second Darkness or Serpent's Skull?
I do admit that a part of me would like to see someone do a fantasy equivalent of the California Gold Rush, though it'd very likely be difficult to pull off.

Book 2 of Second Darkness is literally that. ^_^

I love books 1-4, those are awesome!
Book 2 also laid out the groundwork for Starfinder. I'm looking forward to see the Akata again in Dead Suns book 1. :-)

*Facepalms* I'd forgotten, and I actually own that book too. Thanks for the reminder.
