What are the products you would recommend using to run a new Rise campaign?
What books or subsystems would you use to make the experience the best possible? Hero labs,Realm Works, Syrinscape?
Would updating enemies to more appropriate classes or rules be a benefit or a hindrance? (Thinking about Brathasmus acting like the Bugbears from Classic Monsters Revisited)
Updating Haunts in Skinsaw Murders to the Occult versions?

I've ran this AP up to book 4 with another party. My new group is all new players to Pathfinder with a few of them never having played a TTRPG before. With Rise being the most supported adventure ever, Golarion having grown so much since its release and Pathfinder getting so many more rules to expand, improve, and clarify, I know there are 1st party ways to make the AP that much better.

I've tried looking it up, and without going through all the books, I was just wondering if anyone knows a source that could tell me...

How many spells are in Pathfinder? Unique spells, for all classes?

I'll cut right to the chase. I think point buy is over-powered.

It may be personal taste, but I like rolling ability scores and having 1-2 scores that are below 10.

With the rules in the book, point buy not only starts you at 10 for everything, but you also get 6 instances of +2 boosts and only one -2 flaw. It is stated that you can reduce one of your own scores if you'd like, but there are no incentives for doing so.

When you roll, there's not only the randomness of the dice, but you only get 4 boosts and still the one flaw.

As I said, I like rolling better, but am i missing something with the high scores? Is the whole game designed with having higher stats in mind, and if so, why does rolling get fewer boosts?

I think starting at 8 instead of 10 might be better for point buy, but again, maybe I'm missing a point. Any answers would be appreciated.

On page 40, where it gives the city stats, there are 1% Nuar on Absalom Station. I'm not able to find any information about that race anywhere. Can someone give me something to go by, please?
