There are dozens of us in Aotearoa, dozens!

Any fun backmatter material that appears in this one?

Please don't be 90% human statblocks. I'm fine with statblocks that don't account for ancestry.

Sounds like it will be blank/human on ancestry with templates to change to other ancestries along with ancestry specific entries.

The Sarangay ancestry is missing their Speed entry.

The Yaksha are missing it as well.

I guess they just can't move then.

Wow, love the flavor of Foretell Harm. Which Mystery is it for? Bones?

Seems like it is open to any mystery perhaps.

Will all the gods that have been mentioned in AP material like Rowdrosh be included? Other demon lords that are Paizo's that came out in the Book of the Damned? What about pantheons like in Last Wall book?

Not only Pantheons but also Covenants which are a way to access divine power without worshipping a god, by the sounds of it.

Huh.

I admit... this one doesn't feel like it had the same impact as the last. Like... Erastil wasn't really on anyone's list

Thus far we've had...

N, LE, CG, NE, NG

My guess is that from here it's going to go CE, LG, CN, LN and then... probably back to N for the last? That's my guess, anyway.

At the halfway point we're up to one per row. it wouldn't surprise me if we hit two per row by the end.

What are these random pairs of letters?

Did you try cleaning your cache thats worked for me in the past.

Is the PDF version of the book futureproof against errata? I am seriously debating getting the book in both hardcover for quick, easy reference at my table and the PDF for updates that come.

When they release a new physical version, the pdf will be updated to match. You will not have to purchase another copy to have access to the updated pdf.

Until they release a new physical edition, errata will continue to be separate from the pdf.

Archives of Nethys *does* update with errata sooner though, so it undoubtedly the best reference. Hence it being the system reference document ;)

Counterspelling is kind of a pain in the butt anyway.

You, as far as I can tell, have to guess what the spell you're countering is and pray. Since Recognize a Spell is a reaction, Quick Recognition makes that a free action, but Counterspell is also a reaction. You can only use action action per trigger, so you can't do multiple of them at once.

since you need a spell equipped to counter it, it should be covered by the below rule and have no need for Recognise Spell.

"If you notice a spell being cast, and you have prepared that spell or have it in your repertoire, you automatically know what the spell is, including the level to which it is heightened."

No Skittermaner option?

Seems everyone missed the Ignition cantrip, which will work just great for Magi in place of Shocking Grasp?

I'm with you on this. I'm not sure why they are doing this.

It is easier to get retailers to buy books that are not 700 pages and it is less a splitting core in two than a reshuffling of the Core Book, APG and GMs Guide.

I lament the loss of Drow and the "Duergar" term (hryungar sounds kinda stupid) but I'm on board with everything else.

And Duergar doesn't sound stupid?

Yoon is a badass!

Thinking about what they could give the Warrior Bard instead of Martial Weapons now all bards are getting martial weapons... Medium Armor? Do they view that as sort of 'equivalent'. It would definitely open some builds.

This means Senti can get you heavy too if you wanna be a chonk bard standing behind your buddies with a long spear

Personally I like that they aren't just doing a find and replace of D&D names but actually trying something new.

Not seeing what's so great about them. You can't put runes on scroll robes since, like the gi, they are not considered armor. What's more, there's no explicitly defined exception like there is for the explorer's outfit.

Yes there is - it says under Armor Descriptions

"Each new armor is described in this section. Clothing isn’t armor, but if it has a Dex cap it can accept fundamental and property runes. The most common apparel of this sort is explorer’s clothing (Core Rulebook 275), but this book adds new options."

(Hope it is okay to add that as it will be on Nethys shortly anyway)

Ooh, I wonder what a Skysage is.

You are all KINGS / QUEENS / NON-BIANRY MONARCHS I love you!

Honestly, Helloknights are *really* not to my taste, but I'll consume just about any Lost Omens book they throw my way.

Looking forward to this one. Hope to see some building upon the Pirate archetype and a bunch of stuff for my beloved Swashbuckler.

Time for more spoilers? :D

What a fantastic list of Authors! I can't wait to see more from them all.

I’ve seen the Mea Cupla offered on a few primarily RPG kickstarters recently. That said I don’t actually believe the latest estimate on shipping because Paizo keeps failing to build in any contingencies. Just another example of the poor project management on this.

Paizo should be sending in a crack team of warehouse ninjas to raid the ships when they are held up at customs.

Like abilities like the focus haste you really want to cast round 1, but then you don't get a free recharge.

Hasted Assault (and I believe all Magus focus spells but don't quote me on that) counts as a conflux spell, so it charges your ability to Spellstrike

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!

Luis said on Know Direction that it was him.

The Daikyu now has a reload of "0" rather than "–" and it now has the propulsive trait.

That's fun; you take a Composite Longbow and trade out losing Deadly d10 for not having to deal with Volley at all. I don't know if it's a great trade (is Volley a big deal? I don't feel like I've ever heard about it), but at least the Daikyu has an identity now.

It is +2 damage bonus if you have Point Blank Shot, which could be nice.

Fashion, food and sport, did they write this for me?

Medium or small fleshwarps!

Love this Andrew, looking forward to more from you!

Silver Dragon is always my goto.

Wait... is the Brewer's Regret just the Golarian version of Malört?

I think it is meant to be Marmite

Thank you for speaking and thank you for amplifying indigenous voices.

I wanna use it to play a Soulbound Doll

Who needs a ball when you have a live pig?

I went in looking forward to the equipment but the shopkeepers themselves are just worth it too.

this is so cute!

This looks like a really fun kickstarter. Undead, eternal winter. Selling your soul for survival. Really exciting stuff, and they have a cool create-a-creature tier too.

Naltulth: Candlehurst Kickstarter

I'd settle for a LN or NG cold domain deity that allows LG followers.

Are there any upcoming releases confirmed to include new deities?

Lost Omens Knights of Lastwall will include deities. Whether any of them are new and cold themed is a different question.

Well, good news.

I learned today that only the pocket edition is delayed. My coworkers decided they could pull off a miracle. The Hardcover and Special Edition Hardcover versions of the book should still be shipping out with October subscriptions. We'll be sending an email out to subscribers of these lines with more details.

Sorry to be strong and wrong. I was promoting the best information I had at the time.

Aaron, please pass my thanks on to your co-workers in the warehouse who are putting in such an incredible effort to get these books out for us on time.

Hopefully there is an internal investigation ongoing - I can understand why they would be reluctant to give all the details but a "yes, there is" would be nice because, as it stands, this response is just jank.

-Miniaturize feat for the Eidolon has the line "Prerequisites Shrink Down" - could this line be edited to say something like Prerequisites Shrink Down, or Small Eidolon for those of us who choose to start with a small Eidolon and want to go tiny.

Runelord Archetype:

- Tattoo Artist as an archetype feat seems ... redundant? It's exactly the same as the regular skill feat, so you could just get that one instead. The only advantage from getting the archetype-version is the ability to pay off the Dedication a bit faster.

That seems fairly advantageous to me, same feat, same cost, helps you get to multiple archetypes quicker...

Summon Deific Herald

The Liberator effect ( Chaotic Good ) gives the ally freedom of movement for 3 rounds. Since it doesn't state the level of the spell, and given the fact that all other alignment give a level from 5 to 6, would be right to assume that, because of the limited use of freedom of movement ( compared to the other effects ), that we are goingto use the spell level to counteract/break free from movement imparing effects?.

I believe that the general rule is, if no level is listed use the base level of the spell...

I've yet to see daze taken or cast without regret.

Hi, here I am. I am fine with daze. It's a non-lethal spell and it has it's moments.

Do we know if the summoner and eidolon will still be sharing their HP?

Yes, they confirmed they will do so.

I love the Dessert Drake, in a previous game players visited a plane called Candyland - time for a come back, I think!

Celestials are player facing monsters, because they can go on summon lists. I like having them, but wish that they would release celestials at the appropriate levels to be summoned.

I just kinda wish that all Summon spells started at level 1, so you could summon your lower level elementals and such from a young age.

Are there any androids modelled after elves and dwarves and things, or just humans?

I take it this is the 2nd ed release of the skinwalker? Just curious if this is an updated version of that.

It is that, and so much more!

As with any optional rule though, be sure to check with your GM first before making use of Voluntary Flaws.

It's not an optional rule, it is just optional for you to take the flaws, I think.

All I have to say is that I'm a little disappointed (though not at all surprised) that the sprite has a STR flaw. I really wanted to play a Barbarian or Fighter Sprite. Given how the game balances around having an 18 in your prime stat, that would be be a big detriment.

That said, I'm still looking forward to this book immensely.

You'll be just fine starting with a 16 in your main stat. It's not ideal but it in no way plays out like a dealbreaker.

Indeed. If Alice starts at 18 and Ben starts at 16 and both increase at every opportunity, Ben's modifier will be the same as Alice's at levels 5-9 and 15-19. He would only be behind Alice by 1 at levels 1-4, 10-14, and 20. Being behind by 1 at half your levels isn't a huge disadvantage.

Yes, a lot of people seem to complain about the maths being so tight that a 16 is a horrible unfixable flaw, but my players have seemed to do fine with it.
