There is actually no "aquatic" terrain, it's "water" terrain.

The biggest problem my DM is insisting on is that "cold" terrain as just being cold isn't really a terrain type and is more about climate type (on the scale of cold/temperate/hot), which is out of place among other choices, so it's got to be the terrain type - like glaciers, tundra and such. But those almost universally can be described as cold plains (or maybe deserts). Or is the same as with jungle not being treated as a forest?

Case by case defining of every creature type sometimes slows things down, but, I guess, it's inevitable.

Also, on the latter, how the things change if I dip into ranger and actually get favored enemy?

I am obviously trying to get some Paizo™-approved answers, because the first three questions are up to debate. I am not sure if I'll be able to get those, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I kind of expected something like this to happen when I went into Horizon Walker in Reign of Winter, but still decided to roll with it.

1) The cold terrain is not explained well. Is it a big type of all terrains that are not temperate or hot, or is it specifically glaciers/tundra? Does Irrisen as a whole count as a favored terrain, even when the terrain is not a glacier, like a forest or even a city as big as the Whitethrone? Does any terrain during winter count, when it's covered in snow or is filled with ice? Paizo explicitly changed terrain type to "arctic" in 2e, should cold terrain be viewed as such?

2) Do planes overlap with the terrain type? Can you count First World foresty areas as a forest? Can you count Cocytus as a cold terrain? You can argue that any planar terrain requires specifically selected plane as a favored terrain.

3) Specific Horizon Walker/Forester Hunter question regarding creature native terrain for Terrain Dominance. It is simple for most monsters, but what about humanoids? Do Humans that lived most of their lives in the north count as native to cold terrain? Does it depend in the settlement size, when huge urban cities count as native urban terrain, and small villages count as cold? What about the norhtern-native centaurs subraces, that always live in the northern terrain, but are stated as temperate-climate creatures? I went for RAW bestiary native climate at first, but it gets dumb in the latter case.

4) How does Terrain Dominance work with Instant Enemy? I am specifically playing Forester Hunter with Horizon Walker levels, so I do not have the Favored Enemy class feature, but against creatures, natuve to my dominated terrain, I treat favored terrain as a favored enemy. Does that mean I can use Instant Enemy against creatures not native to the dominated terrain and use my dominated terrain against them? Do I count as having Favored enemy (cold)?

Same issue. Two cards, different books, changed devices and browsers, the result is all the same. Could buy products on old website, after the update can't do it for a year already.

No solution there though.

Got this issue for a year already after the website update. When products and payment method are selected and trying to place an order, 3 order steps vanish, but the page stays the same otherwise. No email, no bank notification, no error message, literally nothing. Already tried buying with 2 different cards and even from a smartphone, same result.

So, is there any way to board enemy ship at this moment? Didn't find any information about it, but the idea seems obvious and may be nice to play out. Probably, there can be usage of boarding pods or you may just break into immobilized ship in spacesuits.

I know, this can be added as homerule, but what about sfs, because I am sure there WILL be in-space combat when you can't just destroy enemy ship(prisoners or valuable cargo aboard or the crew has important information). What do you think?

Actually, this is really good question. Wanted to make human soldier with celebrity theme, probably, a champion of some vesk-invented combat sport, either with weapons or without it(Which is quite possible, considering vesk use natural weapons). First one is more like a duel in actively changing arena with traps and alien beasts as additional hazards to track, second is just a hand-to-hand combat with some rules or maybe even without them, though, not lethal one. The key is "Beating those big damn lizards in their own field", and mentioned "ultrachess" may be a good example. Maybe, it is even played with racial teams.

Armored storm is good for pseudo-unarmed strikes, and you can still get IUA for situations you're not wearing your power armor. Currently planning to make one.

There is a little post problem. My real name is Ilya Bokov, but when registering on paizo site, I set name William Sider (translated version of it). Right now I can't take my order from post because my passport name doesn't match my order name. I was told that those who have sent an order(paizo) have to send fax to post office to ensure that William Sider and Ilya Bokov are one and the same. I'm not changing name in account settings right now to prevent further confusion.

As was mentioned, those who insist on making nat 20 auto-confirmed crits never got hit by large 3d6+30 earthbreaker for 3x damage on crit. Also, tetsubo/nodachi/scythe with high enough bonus damage start working like vorpal against everything not immune to crits.

Adventurer's guide presented us two new elven weapons: leafblade aka kukri V2.0(Or 3.0, because, you know, wakizashi) and thornblade aka ... something V2.0. But what "something" is it, and which fighter weapon group does it belong to?

While leafblade is obviously a light blade, thornblade weapon group is questionable. Is it more close to rapier or to scimitar? I'd say 1st, because the thornblade is finesseable by default, just like rapier(and rapier is also a weapon with which elves are proficient by default), but it is still a one-handed sword-like weapon, so it may be more close to scimitar. First one is a light blade, while second one is heavy. I'd like to see official paizo answer, but discussion is still welcome.
