Another thing I don't see people mention is the Focus Points part. Why is there just 3 slots when Focus Points won't be limited to 3 after the Remaster?

The cap at 3 Focus Points will still be there in Remastered.

It's the refocus cap between encounters that is changed.

From the Core Preview PDF: "Abilities that give you focus spells no longer mention how many Focus Points they add to your pool because the rules have been simplified: The maximum number of Focus Points in your pool is always equal to the number of focus spells you know."

So if you know more than three Focus Spells, you have more than three Focus Points max.

Found it :

No need for a link! I'm here to let you know that Focus Pools are still capped at a maximum of 3 Focus Points.

Ooh thanks! They really should have added that info to the document. The way it's written is really unclear

Has the PDF been updated with 3rd printing? What changes from the online FAQ are in the new version (so I can check)?

For those who only got the digital version and wonder how these work it's pretty simple:

You put one card face up and three cards face down. You use the entirety of the face up card and the left, right, and bottom segments of the face down cards. The arrows on the face-up card point to the alignment traits on the face down cards to give you an alignment. You add up the scrolls and hearts to resolve the random elements applied to each character. It's really fast, easy, and can make for some great NPCs!

I just wish we could release a deck of custom NPCs using these rules on Pathfinder Infinite! Especially so we could stretch out the available ancestries...

How do we know which cards the alignment arrows point to? The alignments listed on the back are different on each card. Also, the scroll/heart tables only go up to 6, but you can get up to 9 of them from three cards (each has 1-3). Are we not supposed to count scrolls/hearts from all three cards?

I only have the digital copy, but I played around with it for a little bit. For the 3 face down cards, you place them in such a way where you place the face-up card on top of them, allowing the arrows to point to the alignments listed on the cards.

In other words, take your face-up card. Then take a face-down card & place it behind. Pulling it out the left, right, or bottom side to reveal the relevant information about the character. You do this 2 more times (3 in total) for all 3 sides. What ends up happening is the left card does not show its hearts (don't count those), the right card does not show its scrolls (don't count those), & the bottom card shows both. (count both)

If I'm reading the bottom card correctly, whenever it talks about the "secret", you use the same card (the bottom card).

Oh I see now, thanks. That's genius!

Bestiary 2 question: the Spark Bat has an ability called Arc Lightning which it can use to get around, but there's no action glyph in its description. What is it supposed to be?

They post how far behind they are with emails as comments on this post. Their latest posts say they are still processing emails from the end of August/beginning of September.

It seems that they will respond here on the forums first (and that post I linked confirms they work faster with forum posts), but it still might take some time. I posted a complaint about Focus Spell Cards a few days ago and am still waiting for a response.

Plus the forum says they won't be working November 26th and 27th because of Thanksgiving.

I recently bought the digital version of spell cards for focus spells off the Paizo store, but it includes only the card backs for the bard and cleric. Watched some unboxing videos and reviews and the physical version has a card back for every class that has focus spells (on the back of their corresponding spells).

Is this a known issue? I sent an email to their customer service, but I've heard they're behind a few months so if anyone can help here that would be great.
