Glad I'm not alone in my feelings towards Discord.

Whole OP section has been getting quieter and quieter for a while.

OK, so today's blog post did absolutely nothing to resolve the summoner / magus issues...

Has it been announced anywhere how the changes to the classes are being implemented? (Note: I've not read them yet, I am just aware that there are some.)

Title says it all. Noon on 30th; hardcover is showing as available, but the pdf is nonexistent.

One thing I noticed that wasn't mentioned under the Starting Levels, was the gear/gold that characters get for starting at those higher levels.

I'm assuming it's based on Pg 61 of GM Core Table 10-10?

I will imagine that the full details will go up on Lorespire during or before GenCon, same with the higher level pregens, but I expect that you are right.

Unsatisfying as a GM or player? Most SF2e scenarios I've run as GM lasted 3 to 4.5 hours. There are a few that are much shorter; I would recommend running those with another scenario in the same session.

Unsatisfying as a player, I haven't GMed any SFS2. Maybe I've been unlucky, but with the exception of 1-01 every game that I've played has been short. I don't believe that the GMs have chosen to add anything; but then obviously I've not actually read the adventures.

I'm somewhat split about the removal of provisions. Putting "tailored" ones in all adventures from Year 8 onwards looks good, by just replacing all previous ones with a healing potion just seems wrong.

What I am unhappy with though is the fact that the "experiment" of 2-hour games isn't coming to an end. Every one of the SFS2 games I've been involved in is just (for want of a better word) unsatisfying; and the idea of them moving to PFS2 (haven't played any of them yet) is awful.

Just asking because it has been 3 years for some errata...

Which book(s)?

I would like to put forward the idea to add an extra line to the Palatine Investigator to allow them to take uncommon feats listed with their archetype, and perhaps boon that lets players access uncommon feats from Dark Archives.

Surely with them being listed as Additional Feats taking the archetype grants access to them already? (Though this clearly doesn't bring Rituals into Society play.)

And therefore an attack bonus would be 10 less than the DC?

It would be very nice if you named the item and provided the link.

Sun Sight is level 10, but it thankfully has counteract mod for the same action (+19), so use it.
Otherwise, they should've printed the modifier. It's an error.

Thank you. Whilst I understand that, I chose not to post the item so that I could learn the calculation method and apply it to any other cases.

If a magical item triggers a spell when it is activated, but does not use the Cast a Spell activity, how it the attack bonus calculated?

For instance, "Activate [one-action] to [three-actions] (concentrate); Frequency once per day; Effect The tattoo casts a 4th-rank blazing bolt, with the rays emitting from your eyes."

That seems like a reasonable lore subcategory - I might be tempted to increase the lore DC slightly for the very unusual swarms (aeon stones, cobbleswarms, wizard sponges, etc), but that'd definitely let you RK reasonably about most swarms.

Surely that's what the +2 DC for Uncommon, and +5 DC for Rare there are for?

There has only been one version of Rage', as it was written as Remastered.

Often wondered what the HeroLab code is, 'cause I can find nowhere for it in HeroLab.

3. Yes.

(Sorry, can't give you guaranteed answers for the rest.)

I found the file one of the Venture-People compiled, but unfortunately it's only hosted on discord, so I don't have a good way to share it

Ah well, thanks for trying.

I will say that I suddenly remembered Wayback Machine, and it is just about doable; but you have to work for it, going over multiple archives to find the best ones for each page.

A resourceful individual was able to put together an archive. Let me look for it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

How do you price ammunition made of precious materials? Do you just use the "weapons" formula (e.g. Adamantine = 1400+140/bulk), or is there something else?

How does ammunition with bulk "-" factor in. (Just the base price then?)

If a gunslinger, or I suppose an alchemist or a character with the appropriate dedication, were to create alchemical ammunition for a magazine weapon, would they produce four magazines, or four "bullets" to go into one or more "clips"?

The magazines are single items on the various charts.

It's the ONLY case imo.

What if my daughter bought them for me at a convention?

The chronicles are still on the product page, regardless of whether/how the product was purchased.

Contacted Customer Service, and they have added it to my account in under 2 hours. :)

Thank you CS.

Nope, nothing even after a cookie clear.

Ah well, customer services it is. :)

Which library are you looking in? In the new store library, I'm seeing two different Dark Archives. There's the old one, and also a remaster one.

In the old "digital content" library I only have the old one.

The new one, but I was expecting the old file to be updated rather than a new, separate one, so I'll dig deeper. Thank you.

My library is showing as updated Jan 16th, similar to many others, but is still downloading the pre-remaster version on Feb 4th. Maybe a cookie clear is in order?

What is/was the specific situation and what were you trying to do?

"Don't buy a mount, they're not allowed in the game." (May not be word for word.)

Someone said to me the other day that mounts were not allowed to be purchased in Society play.

I know that vehicles are out, but I cannot find anything limiting or restricting mounts. Am I wrong?

, we have dedicated channels for reporting bugs in the Pathfinder Discord server

I've joined the server, thanks, but can't see which channel you mean.

Unfortunately this only helps if they are showing the correct stat blocks. There are still errors in 7-01 (at least).

** spoiler omitted **

Have you reported that to AoN?

Appears to be only possible through Reddit.

You are not mistaken. However, this is easily avoided altogether by simply not using that particular attack.

Oh I intend to.

But why would this be put into an "Intro" adventure in the first place?

And I'm sure that there are GMs out there who will do it either without thinking or with malice.

Prepping this for later this month; I'm a bit shocked to find an adventure throwing were-creatures up against 1st level characters.

Anyone who fails a save is permanently cursed. Which means that they are "dead" unless they pay for a 4th Rank cleanse affliction at 40 gp / 20 AcP.

Am I mistaken here?

Thank you.

Can your passwords for the Paizo Site and Paizo Store be the same?

Also, I'm fairly sure that a creature with the Unholy trait doesn't automatically pass that trait on to its attacks. (Can't find anything in a quick search that says it does.)

"While they’ve learned that the sword Aerekostes can guide them to where Sangeh sleeps..." (page 4)

Really? Did I miss this in book 2?

Store blog post, Nov 18th 2025.

"Beginning in January of 2026, we will release two Pathfinder Society scenarios per month. These scenarios will be 2–3 hours in length with one band of levels, such as levels 1–2 or 3–4. Each scenario will still award 4 XP, 10 Treasure Bundles, and 4 Reputation with a faction. We will also no longer use Challenge Points"

If it's going the way of SFS as of January, aren't Challenge Points on the way out anyway?

Rage of Elements page 3,

"Updated Rules The rules in this book are fully updated to work with Player Core, GM Core, and Monster Core. If you’re using the Core Rulebook, Bestiary, and other older books, please note the following changes."

The Retail Incentive Programme page still lists the Accessories Perks as valid, specifically, "The benefits gained from this program are in addition to benefits on the Accessory Perks page."

As things stand there is no mention of 2nd Edition Starfinder Society on that page, is this going to change?

When you report, just add it then. That allows one reporting number to be used for multiple sessions, which many lodges do.

Such as "SFS Game Day Fall/Winter 2025".

Brilliant, thank you.

I'm trying to add a second edition SFS game to an event I've created, and there are no check boxes against any of the year one adventures. Any ideas?

Always worth remembering that those of us on this forum are a small percentage of the Organised Play player base. And that those making noise about the changes (some of it justified imo) are a small percentage of those on this forum.

Anyone assuming that their opinion is an "overwhelming" one, whichever side of the argument they are on, is almost definitely overreaching.

I LOVE hardcover adventures! So I'm a big fan of the AP changes!

Maybe I'm over looking it, but I'm assuming our Adventure Path subscriptions carry over to this new format as well and don't need anything done on our end to do so?

I asked the same question further up the thread, and was told "yes".

So we're going to enter a situation where characters of consecutive levels (2 & 3, 4 & 5, 6 & 7) will not be able to play the same adventure, making tables harder to form. This can only cause problems.

And no, I don't like it for Starfinder either.
