Only 9 out of the 36 new spells are available to clerics. What gives?
Given the title, you would think clerics would have access to the majority of New spells.

Will they make a 1st Edition version?

I'd rather see an unarmored barbarian have lots of HP (and ways to recover it) + ways to focus on punishing people who hit them with cool and interesting reactions, than have them have a high AC for no conceivable in world reason for it. It would be much cooler for Barbarians to be able to have a reason not to want to focus on Maxing AC, than creating implausible ways for them to do so just to keep up with ones that do choose to wear armor.

Or, maybe the ability to avoid crits? Maybe a barbarian can turn critical hits into normal damage?

Instead of a store credit I would prefer a $15 refund to my credit card that would offset the delivery charges since Amazon failed to meet up to its obligation.

Did I mention I worship all 20 deities and I'm looking forward to all gifts at one time. :) Go ahead...just make me a god.

Thanks for clarifying the math. Now I have another question on actions. You can use verbal, somatic and material to add to the power of a spell - I get that. Will each spell have a descriptor of what the material component will be? Or will we assume that material components are just some sort of arcane focus? I don't need the GM saying "oops, you forgot to buy your widget doodad - so you can only use 2 actions not three for your spell."

Can you explain how you arrived at 15 missiles if cast as a 9th level spell? I can't figure out the math here.

I’m all for keeping the “traditional” Paladin. I like the fact that she/he is LG and bound by tenets. Heck I liked the old rules when the paladin had to give away all of his or her wealth and only maintain enough to get by. Or the fact they could only have so many magic items.

I get that there is a community of players that want to do away with alignment restrictions or see some other changes. I also know that no matter what Paizo does there will always be a subset of people that are unhappy.

For those of you saying that this breaks the game or I’m going to drop PF and move to 5e, that’s your prerogative. Instead how about giving it a chance? Or better yet – as many Paizo staff have said over the years – these rules are guidelines. House rule it any way you want.
In my 40+ years of gaming experience (I started in 1978 when I was a mere 13 year old snot nosed teenager) more often than not it’s an obnoxious player that ruins a class and not the class itself. We’ve been playing with paladins since first edition and never once (never, yes I used the word never) did we ever have a contentious moment with a paladin or a player playing a paladin. Maybe we’re unique (or dysfunctional) but at the end of the day we got together to have fun. If we debated a rule we talked it out or house ruled it but ultimately the DM/GM had the final say.

So I say give the pally a chance. Playtest him and provide your feedback in a calm and rational way. Stop the name calling and ultimatums. Lose the I’m right and you’re wrong attitude. Give Paizo a ton of credit for trying to improve the game we all love and help them make it better without derailing the boards. Constructive feedback – not criticism always wins the day.

Just my 2 coppers since I had to tithe my excess gold away to the orc orphanage down the road…

Oh yeah...Pally Love....

I didn't think I could be excited about weapons in a D&D/PF game.

Friends, I am excited about weapons in PF2.

I second that. If nothing else I may just incorporate 2nd edition weapons rules into my 1st edition campaign.

Clerics of Sarenrae = unlimited fireballs? Who needs wizards.....

Hoping to see:

Skald - Barbarian/Bard (think of it...raging and spouting limerics..lol)
Disciple - Paladin/Monk (holy handed smite Batman!)

Two words....Paladin-Monk.......

But.......... what hardcover books are planned for after that?

What is after Mythic?

Plans for next year or so?

Thanks

I'm hoping for Ultimate Environment.

My dad passed away on August 19th...what did I learn? He raised two great sons and provided for an awesome family. I love my dad!
I love that he taught me to always do the right thing.
I love that he taught me to treat all people with respect and honesty.
I love that he taught me to hve integrity, self respect, honor and values.
I love that he taught to never lie, cheat, steal or snitch.
I love that when he passed there was nothing that I (or my mother and brother) felt was left unsaid.
I love that I knew he loved us.....

To my dad (my idol, my hero, my mentor and my inspiration), may he rest in peace.

Sorry to say but this is something I'm not looking forward to. Just not my cup of tea. If it wasn't too much hassle I would cancel my subscription and restart it after this ships so I wouldn't get it.

You are in my prayers Gunny.

Thanks! I think....prayers to the One Eyed god of Orcs? (uh, that could be worse than my curren situation, lol)

Update:

Been told that my job is safe!
