Hey players, Happy Equinox.
As you’re discussing the remaster changes, kindly be aware that the remaster reflects the rules we are using going forward, but that no content is being banned at your tables. We need to publish what we need to publish for the legal health and safety of our company—and we’re adding improvements to the game along the way. But nothing we’re printing should be considered a subtraction from the game you love. All the options will still be in the System Reference Document at Archives of Nethys.
The Remaster Project is a process. We’re going to be remastering Pathfinder at least into Gen Con 2024 with Player Core 2. And that doesn’t even address the errata that our design team may consider for every rule published after the Advance Player’s Guide.
In short, a blended OGL/ORC experience should be expected for many months. And we’re never, we can’t, put an end date on what you play at your tables. We’re not coming to your home and taking away your older books. We want you to keep using everything you’ve purchased. As always, we’re trying to deliver to you the best deep character customization options in the industry.
Adventures Ahead!
No but you can take away option from Society play and that may be the most play some people are able to do. Sudden Bolt seems more of the inspiration of the new Thunderstrike. That spell could have been changed instead of Shocking Grasp. I see nothing that needed to be changed so fundamentally in shocking grasp for OGL change. You could change the damage type to anything else and keep it a melee touch attack so Magus can still have a good attack spell. Now by RAW they don't.
