Tempest Druid
- Must now be Chaotic Neutral, no listed rules on what happens if the PC ceases to be Chaotic Neutral. I assume it falls under the same consequences as ceasing to be Neutral/Revere Nature. Even more curiously, the Storm Kindler prestige class got no similar alignment restriction, despite a clear CN bent to the Storm Kindlers as an organization. Previously , the archetype had no alignment restrictions beyond those that already existed for Druids.
Hellknight Signifer
- Catechesis text has changed so that Signifers with the Warrior Priest feat treat their Signifer as levels in the appropriate divine spellcasting class for determining Channel Energy effects, DCs, etc. in addition to gaining Alignment Channel (Chaos). Previously, Signifer levels only stacked for purposes of channeling to harm Chaotic subtype creatures w/ Alignment Channel.
EDIT: Adjusted a spelling issue.

Signifer, not signifier. (A mistake I've made myself in the past).
A signifer was a standard bearer of the Roman legions.[/i]

A signifer was a standard bearer of the Roman legions.[/i]you are implying, i'm inferring
I'll be going through this as thoroughly as I can and listing the differences one section at a time. Here are the reprints for the Al-Zabriti section.
Al-Zabriti
Qadirian Horselord (Cavalier archetype, Inner Sea Combat): As One: Now increases to 3d6 damage at 17th level, and no longer treats all mounted Spring Attack uses as a charge
Mounted Blade (Feat, Qadira, Gateway to the East): No longer requires BAB +1, Qadiran affinity replaced with Al-Zabriti affiliation, wording about being able to use this feat on a flying item such as a broom of flying has been removed
Mounted Onslaught (Feat, Cities of Golarion): Lastwall affinity replaced with Al-Zabriti affiliation, otherwise unchanged
More importantly, As One no longer allows you to treat every mounted Spring Attack as a charge. Because... Lord Almighty, that ability.
Erm... Other than the damage change I mentioned, nothing else in that section of the Adventurer's Guide mentions that bit about the charge. Was there something in there that got cut? Because everything else is exactly the same as the original.

From my copy of Inner Sea Combat:
As One (Ex): At 9th level, a Qadiran horselord gains the benefits of the Spring Attack feat so long as she remains mounted. The horselord uses her mount’s movement for this action and neither the horselord nor her mount provoke attacks of opportunity from the target. When making a single attack with a one-handed slashing weapon while using the Spring Attack feat, the Qadiran horselord treats her mount as charging. This ability can be used to qualify for other feats that treat Spring Attack as a prerequisite; however, the cavalier can benefit from those feats only while mounted. This ability replaces greater tactician.
And from the Adventurer's Guide:
As One (Ex): At 9th level, a Qadiran horselord gains the benefits of the Spring Attack feat so long as he is mounted. He uses his mount’s movement for this action, and neither he nor his mount provokes attacks of opportunity from the target. When he makes a single attack with a one-handed slashing weapon in this way, the attack deals 1d6 additional points of damage. This bonus damage increases to 3d6 at 17th level. This ability counts as the Spring Attack feat for the purpose of meeting feat prerequisites, but only while the Qadiran horselord is mounted.
This replaces greater tactician.

Hellknight
Hellknight Armor (Ex): At 2nd level, a Hellknight earns
the right to wear Hellknight armor (see page 290). While
wearing this armor, the Hellknight reduces the armor

allowed by 1, and moves at full speed. At 5th level, these
adjustments increase to 2. At 8th level, these adjustments
increase to 3.
Hellknight Armor (Ex): At 2nd level, a Hellknight earns the right to wear Hellknight plate (see page 97), which does not reduce his speed. While wearing this armor, the Hellknight reduces its armor check penalty by 1 and increases the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed by 1. At 5th level, these adjustments increase to 2. At 8th level, these adjustments increase to 3.
A pretty nice buff, now I only hope PFS allows it.
The Signifer's armor training remains the same, however they did correct the wording on Arcane Armor Expertise.
Was this just a change of language for clarification purposes? I'm not sure what the change was.

Yeah, there are a lot of little language changes like that, especially for the older stuff.
No reprints for Council of Thieves, surprisingly.

...Spells? Items? I dunno. :P

Is the Halfling Opportunist prestige class in here? That one from Halflings of Golarion had great flavor, but the mechanics made it completely useless.
I'd love to see them update it so that using the class's signature ability isn't a combat maneuver (on a 3/4 BAB class that requires you to be a race with a strength penalty and size penalty on combat maneuvers). It would make more sense as an acrobatics check, anyway, still opposed by the enemy's CMD.
I had actually been considering trying that prestige class paired with a Lore Warden, for maximum CMB bonuses, but apparently that idea's been nerfed to uselessness by this book.
Was this just a change of language for clarification purposes? I'm not sure what the change was.
The older version in Inner Sea World Guide allowed you to move at full speed in Hellknight armor at level 8, the new version in this book allows it at 2nd. I never saw why moving at full speed on a (minimum) 13th level character was worth PFS changing it, so I worry that they will change it again.
Edit: I see now that I misread the older version. Color me dumbfounded. So a 7th (minimum) level melee character moving full speed is too strong I guess. Even though you could be flying at the same level. And dwarves can do it from level 1....
Just ignore me here.

It's because it emulates fighter's armor training, and fighters don't get to move at full speed in heavy armor until 7th.

Much like the Gray Maidens as they appear in Curse of the Crimson Throne, the original Council has almost nothing mechanical associated with it. They're largely built on CRB options. The only things from the original AP that jump to mind are the quieting needles and the runecurse, neither of which are really Council-specific. (Of course, it's been a while, so I may be missing something.)
(Technically, there's one other thing - it gets its mention in the brazen deceiver archetype, since reprinting it wouldn't make sense for multiple reasons. I don't think it even got reprinted in Artifacts & Legends, although I could easily be wrong there.)
There wasn't much reason to reprint any of those items anyway, since the new Council of Thieves is almost entirely built on new ideas (plus whatever they could cobble together of the old Council).
Good times. ^_^
I'm starting to get tired... Someone send me coffee...

I tried to bull rush a bull the other day, and I imagine the Paizo development team would have similar results if they tried it, I'm reasonably certain they're scrawnier than I am.
If combat maneuvers against larger creatures with or without extra legs were easy then it would be pretty reasonable to have a feat with a BAB and Str requirement that lets you fly by flapping your hands really hard. But both seem absurd to me.
I tried casting Fireball the other day, couldn't do that. We should probably just take spells out of the game.

This is incorrect, although I see how my statement gives that impression. Sorry for the confusion!
While the Gray Maidens were purely CRB fighters in Curse of the Crimson Throne, there is one item in their section that is reprinted. The Maiden's helm was originally printed in Pathfinder Adventure Path #62: Curse of the Lady's Light.

It's because it emulates fighter's armor training, and fighters don't get to move at full speed in heavy armor until 7th.
So the argument is that my 7th level Fighter/Hellknight should not have access to something a 7th level Fighter does? Since when is it a bad thing for class features to stack? Almost every spellcasting PrC gets it. And if you are not a fighter prior to Hellknight, you are probably taking the PrC at 9th level. But I suppose this is not the place to make this argument.

What the heck, is there any new material in the book or is it just a compilation of reprints and errata?
A good 75-80% of this book is "updated" reprints.

It's enough that it feels like a lot. Also a factor to the feeling is how valuable you view things. Is having 5 pages on spices interesting to you? If not you're likely to skip those pages, and thus forget those 5 pages of new stuff.
This is my guess as to why many people that read the book feel the majority is rework/updates. Cause classes, feats, and magic items are the most interesting for a character and where most the R/U are. Newer spells and mundane items aren't and are forgotten to be included into their perspective.
