Thanks for your feedback.

To clarify, Pathfinder Adventure Path: Abomination Vaults PZO2033 is a separate product from the three volumes that preceded it. The PDF discount only applies if you own the compilation, not the three separate volumes. This policy is consistent with how Paizo released the Rise of the Runelords and Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Paths compilations in the past.

I understand that this is in keeping with previous compilations, the thing that feels different for me at least is that there is not a major update such as from 3.5 to 1E or 1E to 2E. In fact, it was your comment on the hardcover product page that the compilations would "Thus, not a lot of revisions. We just want to get it printed and in the hands of players ASAP. It could be for collectors as a sentiment, but I see it mostly for new players."

I love my updated collection of Rise of the Runelords and am eagerly looking forward to my 2e collectors edition Kingmaker. This however, seems to be a project that does not align to the project scope of previous compilations. I would hope that the Paizo team might consider how this project differs from those others in that light.

Oof. It feels really bad that those of us who helped make AV such a wide spread success that y'all republished it again don't get appreciated. This has made me significantly reconsider if I want to support Paizo products on Foundry.


Do you have to have the hardback PDF? I have the PDFs from being a subscriber but it isn't showing a discount for me.


Hey all, I'm wondering how the spell Moonlight Beam interacts with creatures who are immune to cold and weak to sliver. Velstracs specifically have this weird interaction with the spell in addition to being Fiends. Spell text is:

"You unleash a holy beam of freezing moonlight. Make a ranged spell attack. The ray deals 5d6 cold damage; if the target is a fiend or undead, you deal an extra 5d6 good damage. Moonlight ray's cold damage is silver damage for the purposes of weaknesses, resistances, and the like."


You run into Shayliss later in the street. She thanks you for your help and tells you that her father is fine, though a bit distracted currently with her sister's new romance. In fact...he hasn't had much time to deal with the rats in the store's celler. Would you be willing to come by and help? It shouldn't be too big of a problem for a strong adventurer like you.


The battle is finally past. All over town lay dead goblins along with a few unfortunate citizens and guards. The city guard starts they long job of cleaning up the mess the raid made including burning the bodies of the goblins outside the city wall and bringing dead citizens to the church for burial. Foxglove mourns the death of his dog and buries it out in the woods not far from town before retiring to his room at the White Deer Inn.

In the wake of the raid many in the town seemed stunned and shell shocked while many others are enamored with the new local heroes. Das Korvut is so impressed by the groups actions that he offers each of you half off on one weapon or piece of armor. Not to be out done Savah Bevaniky makes the same offer to all of you as well.

Everywhere you go around town, you're met by smiles and greetings as your names have started to become household words.

With most the day left ahead of you and a somber overtone across the town, what do you do?


Though reacquainted with his hat and glove, Baf remains battered and walks with a sluggish trod made worse by a heavy heart. Upon witnessing the reunion of the couple, his demeanor lightens and he musters a near-cheerful tone. "I am glad you are awake and reunited, sir and madam. How fares your wound?" Seemingly disregarding their embrace, the gnome begins dutifully inspecting Roldare's bandages. After a full inspection of Roldare’s wound, Baf nods his head and removes himself from the siblings.

Roldare: “Thank you all for rescuing my dear sister. I don’t know what I would do if anything had happened to her. I see that you also managed to grab the Everflame as well.” Noticing Grax’s limp form his face seems distant for a bit. He regains his composure quickly. “Well since you’ve recovered the Everflame and seem to be in need of some help getting back, how about we all ride back with my friends from the Hagfish here.”

The ride back is quite and long. After two days of travel you finally arrive back at Sandpoint. The Hagfish Hopefuls take you back to the town square and call for Father Zantus who takes Grax’s body into the church. News travels quickly through the town, and while the people seem happy about your accomplishments they mourn the loss of a new local hero.

With Ameiko’s help your group is able to cover the expenses to have Grax brought back from the grave with Father Zantus preforming the ritual with all of you present. With the Swallowtail Festival only three days away, the town is abuzz about the new heroes of the Everflame. Ameiko is happy to provide you all with free room and board for the week at the Rusty Dragon and even has a night of free Dwarven Mead in celebration of Grax’s return. It seems that Sandpoint has more reason than ever to celebrate.
