Ronald the Rules Lawyer just released a video on the remastered Alchemist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbufOX8_aZg

Why do I bring this up in the Barbarian thread? One of the things he revealed is that the Bestial Mutagen no longer gives an AC penalty. To me this indicates that Paizo has decided that trading AC penalties for increased offense is no longer a good trade-off in most situations, so Rage losing it's AC penalty is most likely intentional.

I would think it would lead to less violence overall, as followers can’t justify killing someone just by knowing their alignment. Instead they have to witness them doing something that’s actually evil.

This is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, but something I’ve always found annoying has been cleaned up. The monster version of Sneak Attack is no longer listed in the Ability Glossary, which means it no longer has hidden rules about what weapons it works with. Which means that kobold warriors can now sneak attack with their spears, like their stat block says!

This plus explicitly listing which creatures are immune to bleed damage shows that Paizo is cleaning up some of the “obscure rules hidden in places you wouldn’t think to look” problem what PF2e sometimes has.
