The slotless wondrous items page http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateEquipment/wondrousItems/slotless .html would be a lot more useful if item names in the table were links.

I love the appearance, and the content.
But for my purposes, the PRD is essentially non-functional. I can't use it at the table, and when I'm designing encounters it costs me more time than it saves me.
Say I just need to find out what a spell does. OK, I need to open the main link for each book, then navigate to the spell index, then hope to find the spell. I need to do this for every single book listed, so if it's in one of the later ones, I'm likely to give up first.
"Kirth, you fool!" people say. "Just use the SEARCH function!"
Heh. Try this: type the word "bard" into the search field, and see how long it takes you to find the link to the actual Bard class?

I am currently having an issue with the PRD from my laptop's browser. I get sent to the introduction page but cannot navigate the PRD, the only links available take me away from the PRD. When I go to the PRD from my phone I get to the same introduction page, but I have a list button that allows me to navigate the PRD.
This might be because I am restricted to an older browser on my laptop, but I thought I would mention it.

Sadly, a Blackberry Bold(Not the Touch variety) and Kindle Paperwhite. What's the prgnosis, Doc? Am I terminally low-tech?
It may very well be that those devices just don't support parts the newer elements used in the PRD (particularly CSS3 and jQuery). Some brief googling leads me to believe a bit of both. Unfortunately I don't have any similar devices in the office to properly test this, though.

Absolutely agreed! I also think our item index could use some love and updates from UE. We'll see what happens :)

Kirth, if you're looking for Bard spells in particular, you may want to use the Spell List Index maybe? You can also filter out spells by book on either index. I certainly can understand your issue, and cleaning up some of the IDs used for search is something I very much want to see happen. It's an ongoing effort.

What browser and version are you using on your laptop? If it's IE8, you may be viewing in Compatibility View, which you can toggle by clicking the "broken" page icon in the address bar.

Bummer. I can see it all in the SRD, but that page is just ponderous.

Found an error in a table:
Ultimate Equipment
Gear/Tools and Crafting Kits
Alchemy Crafting Kit
Weight is listed as 50 lbs in both the table and the item text.
My APG print is showing 5 lbs, as is Herolab.
Although I did notice in my print version of Ultimate Equipment that it is also showing 50 lbs... so maybe that's a better question for the errata threads?

I am using Internet Explorer 8.0.7601.17514. Clicking on the broken link just seems to reload the page back to the introduction page. I've tried clicking it several times and it always reloads back to the introduction page that I cannot navigate away from.

I love the new site but i think that the worst aspect of the game now is feat and class power selection. They are spread out through a ton of books and the feat index is no offense but it is completely useless. I want to know all the feats that modify channel energy ability, what can I do using the PRD? heck I want to see all the cleric domains available, well I have to look through like 5 books to do so. We need master class indexes where everything relevant to the class is in one location. And we need a master feat chart like the feat chart you get in every book only comprehensive and updated. Because as it is right now it sucks to make a character unless you limit yourself to one or two books.

When searching the PRD for ''haunting choir'', the first result is titled "Haunting Choir" but its content is ''haunting mists'' and its URL is http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateMagic/spells/hauntingMists.html# haunting-mists. Seems like the spell title is wrong there, as ''haunting choir'' is at http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateMagic/spells/hauntingChoir.html# haunting-choir and comes up second in the search.

Since this is a major revision of several hundred pages of content and navigation, there are bound to be problems. Please use this thread to let us know anything you find that needs to be fixed, and we'll fix it as soon as we can.
Figure it can't hurt to point you in this direction: A thread i started yesterday that is at least marginally related

Might I suggest making they hyperlink text at the top of the page (E.G. PRD Home/Getting Sarted) Be in red instead of the grey it currently is. It would make them stand out more.
Also, I'm still really confused as to why the large watermark in the top left corner of the page directs the user away from the PRD, and what the point of the homepage is.

It has it's pros and cons. I think that if the site had a more robust index system (Feat Tree Index, Domain/Subdomain Index, Trait Index, better bestiary indices, etc.), this issue would be mostly resolved. I don't always use/allow every published book at a table, and having material sorted by book makes it very easy for players and DMs to limit their searches to allowed sources.

So I'm reading over the downtime rules in Ultimate Campaign on the PRD and I noticed an issue with one of the links. If I'm in one of the subpages,"Downtime Activities", "Managers", "Rooms and Teams Buildings" or "Organizations Downtime Events" and I click on downtime at the top of the page.(not the sidebar)
The link is
http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ultimateEquipment/downtime.html
Which of course doesn't work.

In this section of the prd:
Although the alchemist doesn't actually cast spells, he does have a formulae list that determines what extracts he can create. An alchemist can utilize spell-trigger items if the spell appears on his formuale [sic] list, but not spell-completion items (unless he uses Use Magic Device to do so).
Formuale should be formulae.

I think you misunderstood me because what you are saying is exactly what i want. I like being able to go through individual books, but I want indexes that combine all class options of a single class sort-able just like the spell list index like the domain index you mentioned, or barbarian rage power etc. Honestly I want the
spell index to be sort-able the way the spell list index is hell it would be great if every index was filterable like the spell list index. but we want the same thing :DChris Lambertz Paizo Glitterati Robot |

Extra word in the second paragraph of the section Playing the Game, from the Getting Started chapter of the PRD.
Unless otherwise noted, whenever you are must round a number, always round down.
This should be like...

I like the new spell list index. It lets me see not only what spells a particular magic user can access, but where they come from - at least as amongst the five rule books listed. I assume the Advanced Class Guide will show up there soon™. :-)

So you may have noticed by the blog and the Facebook and everything, but yes! The PRD is updated! Bestiary 4 and Technology Guide content are up. There are still pages of items in this thread that need addressing, and I'm hoping to roll that in with our scheduled update for the Advanced Class Guide next month. If you run into any problems, please post here :)
Do we have an ETA for the Advanced Class Guide update? It clearly did not make "next month" since that would have been some time in September.

There is a gender pronoun discrepancy in the savage technologist archetype.
She can expend 2 rounds of rage (even if not raging) to add a bonus equal to 1/2 his barbarian level on a Diplomacy check.
Since this is a barbarian archetype and text is written to refer to the relevant iconic character, his should be changed to her since Amiri is female. I don't have my physical copy handy to see if this error is replicated there.

Veiwing the Skill Descriptions table from the Core Rulebook, on a Windows Phone (8.1), the table only shows the first few entries (down to Climb), and does not appear to be scrollable.
I'm seeing the same thing on my Lumia 920, with Win Phone 8.1.
The skills table had been viewable on the phone a few weeks ago. I'm not sure is the change was with the site or with an OS update.

The Advanced Class Guide update is here! A couple days later than I would have liked, but we're getting closer to a regular update schedule. You also may have noticed that searching now links to the correct pages (this was fixed some time ago, but it looks like in the chaos of everything, nothing got posted). There are some issues that will hopefully be remedied before the Monster Codex is added. I know I mentioned the iScroll issue in our last update, but want to be sure that the replacement/alternative method for tables is as completely sound as possible before there's a public change (which is why it's been omitted right now). Some of the suggestions here are great and are up for consideration when this update happens :)

Wonderful to see the Advanced Class Guide up!
I've already found one incorrect link - under Gear and Magic Items, the link to Magic Weapon Abilities leads to Specific Armors and Shields. And the links on the tables for magic weapons and magic armor don't go to the property in question.

The html on prd/additionalMonsters/inevitable.html is a bit messed up. This part <div><h1 id="inevitable-arbiter"...
is not located where it should be in the DOM, namely inside <div class="body">
rather, it's a sibling of the above element and a direct child under <div class="body-content">.
I'm the creator of the PFR app. I have a huge script which churns thru the entire PRD content in order to make it light and suitable for iOS. That's why I notice these really, really bizarre markup errors :)

In the Bestiary 4 section, the links to Flea, Giant and Flea, Mammoth are missing altogether.
Their own page exists here, though.
I don't know if there's a link to it somewhere else, I found out by just trying to type "/flea.html" in place of other creatures' names in the address bar.

There seems to be a bug in the Spell List Index.
All of the witch spells from the ACG seem to come up in the spell list index as one spell level lower than they really are.
e.g. all of the Witch first-level spells show up as cantrips; second-level spells show up in the 1st-level spell list, etc.
Also-- the two Witch cantrips from the APG each show up twice.
I would not have noticed if I hadn't just started playing a witch PC in a PbP...
justaworm |
In the ACG section under "Gear and Magic Items", the "Weapon Special Abilities" link is actually the same link as "Specific Armors and Shields" and takes you to that associated page instead of the weapons page.
Just a note on this one ... you can work around this yourself by putting this link in your browser

The skills table is still not scrollable in Windows Phone 8.1, at least on a 4.5 inch smartphone screen.
Workaround is to plug in the URL of the specific skill you want to look up.

in the ecclesiathurge archtype, the ecclesiathurge vow states that they loose their blessing of the faithful ability...
An ecclesiathurge doesn't have a blessing of the faithful ability (unless it's missing), and neither does the cleric.
That is an accurate quote of the book text though -- so fixing it would be errata for the book instead of for the PRD.

Completely different teams here at Paizo work on our books versus the PRD. If you notice some errata or errors in the book text, it'd be best to bring it up in the errata threads :)
