All sorted - it was a problem at my bank's end, as they hadn't updated my address on their system! Thank you.


I am trying to buy the PDF of Extinction Curse part 2, but every time I click the 'place your order' button, I just get stuck in a loop where it repeatedly shows me that same 'confirm order' page.

I have tried changing the payment method, but it makes no difference. As far as I can tell, the website never even gets to the point where it tries to charge my card.

I've tried clearing my browser's cache and browsing history, but that makes no difference either.

I've even tried changing what's in my shopping basket and trying to buy something different, but I just keep getting the same result.

Have you any idea what's going on here?


Hi there,

Please could you cancel my subs to:

Pathfinder Adventures
Pathfinder Adventure Path
Pathfinder Lost Omens
Pathfinder Rulebooks

Thanks in advance for your help.


Thank you for doing this! I am away from home for a few days, but I suspect I’ll get back before the package arrives, so hopefully all will be well. Thanks again for your help.


Please ensure these subscriptions start with the Pathfinder 2nd edition products.

I am caught up in the website error which meant I was unable to order the correct starting products for my subscriptions. As soon as I placed the order, I emailed customer services to make it clear that I wanted the 2nd edition products only, but I have already had one email saying that ‘Planar Adventures’ is about to be dispatched to me - hence posting here, to ensure that someone resolves this issue ASAP.

Thanks in advance for your help.

It starts with the PCs scavenging to survive on Akiton, takes them through 'finding' a crashed experimental Eoxian starship, and will eventually lead to an attempt by the Corpse Fleet to undead-ize the being gestating inside the planet Aucturn and using it to conquer the entire Pact Worlds system. You know, the usual.


All I want out of future content is "not too much".

The amount of options with Pathfinder is, to me, a little off-putting. I like the system, but it feels like you need to take a masters degree in it to get the most out of the game.

I am enjoying being in on the ground floor with Starfinder, but I really hope it's not going to become as twisted and tangled as its older brother.

I'm going to rule that we'll play it RAW for the moment, unless something obviously wrong crops up during play. I'm sure it will be fine.

(Incidentally, Rysky - thanks for being such a staunch defender of this unfairly maligned class across these boards. I think it's a really interesting, really flavourful class - and my partner, who'll be playing one in our game, agrees. We were both a little nervous because of the negativity that seems to be surrounding the solarian, but your constant defence of the class has greatly reassured us!)

EDIT: Actually, I think I may be confusing you with someone else, but I'll let the compliment stay, just in case. :)


It feels wrong, but the language of the rules does seem to support it! I wonder if it's just an oversight in the editing.

In the descriptions for Photon Mode and Graviton Mode on p102 of the CRB, it says that when you enter those modes you become "photon-attuned" and "graviton-attuned".

Some of the later Stellar Revelations (e.g. Wormholes, p107) explicitly say that they require the PC to be graviton-attuned. (Others explicitly require photon-attuement.)

Some of the earlier Revelations, though, just seem to require attunement to either mode. The language used is generally "when you are attuned or fully attuned...", and does not specify a mode.

Does this therefore mean you can use the "attuned" aspects of these Revelations, no matter which mode you are in?

For example, you could therefore be graviton-attuned and use the extra bull-rush element of the Stellar Rush Photon Revelation (p104-105).

Am I understanding this correctly?


I'd say no. If you look at the explanation of spell-like abilities on p262, it goes to great pains to differentiate them from spells - and as Mystic Strike has the prerequisite "ability to cast spells", it seems pretty clear that it doesn't count for spell-like abilities.

Yes yes, but was the solarian underpowered?


Yeah, it seems pretty much in line with other Technomancer spells. Other examples:

Overheat, 1st level - 2d8 damage to creatures in a cone.
Inject Nanobots, 2nd level - 4d8 damage to a single target + confused condition.


That's kind of what I figured what it was.

I think it was just the inclusion of the word "minimum" that threw me. The 'power budget' boxout on p296 was clear enough - at least if you accept the implication that you only need power to the Drift drive when entering and leaving the Drift, as you say.

Maybe it's my old brain, but I'm having quite a hard time absorbing some of this stuff. So thank you for your help!

I'm playing around with building some starships, and I'm a little confused on how to factor in the PCU cost of a Drift engine.

Under the Drift engine paragraph of the 'Other Systems' section (p298), it says that "Drift engines have a PCU requirement". The accompanying table suggests that a ship must have a "minimum PCU" to carry a particular Drift engine - for example, the Signal Basic needs a minimum PCU of 75.

All other systems with a PCU cost refer to it as just that - PCU, not "minimum" PCU - which is making me think that the cost for a Drift engine is worked out somewhat differently.

So my question is...

Does a Drift engine have a PCU cost that I should routinely include? Or is the "minimum PCU" simply a guideline that says "if your ships power core can't provide this much power, you can't have this particular Drift engine - but the engine itself does not have a PCU cost"?

I hope that's clear. God knows the rules aren't! ;)


Hi there,

Please could you cancel my subscriptions for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Modules and the Pathfinder Adventure Path? Thanks in advance!


That's great - thank you very much for responding so quickly!


Hi there - hope you can help!

I have not received the above order. It contained Gallows of Madness and Hell Comes to Westcrown, both as part of their subscriptions. Everything in the order seems to be in... um... order! I have access to the PDFs, for example.

I have received subsequent packages in my subscriptions, but I thought I'd leave this a good long while just to see if it had been delayed. But there has been no sign of it, so I thought I'd better touch base and see what can be done about it.

Thanks in advance for your help.
