What is the release date for the Advanced GM Screen? I keep finding varying dates and I want to try and figure out when I can actually get this.


Thanks a ton for the info guys. Between your help and rereading the spell section again, every has clicked. I really appreciate it!


Alright, so, I have admittedly never played Pathfinder, but I decided to pick up the 2e books out of a sense of curiosity (and because I'm just starting to feel a little disenchanted with other systems). So far I really like what I've read, but I'm having some serious trouble understanding how heightening spells works, particularly for spontaneous casters. I've read and reread the various sections describing this many times, and I feel like an idiot because I can't seem to wrap my brain around how/why it works.

If I had to pick one thing I'm having trouble with, I guess it would be this: if you have to have the higher level spell to heighten a lower level spell to its level anyway, what is the point of having the lower level spell at all? Because if I can put a level 1 spell into a level 3 slot to heighten it to level three (but I have to have access to the level 3 spell anyway to even be able to do this) why wouldn't I just use the level 3 spell in the first place?

Any help/clarification would be appreciated. I'm looking forward to having a go at Pathfinder, just want to make sure I have everything down right before I do.

Thanks!
