On the main Paizo page, this is listed as an upcoming release. (I assume it was suppose to be book 2 of Strength of Thounsands)

Noticed that too. Perhaps a reprint run? Seems unlikely.


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

I ordered it but I am disappointed that the pawns or figures I most likely would not have in my collect (giant flies for instance) are not represented. You would figure the more unique monsters would get preferential treatment. If I wanted common monsters I would get the bestiary pawns


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

My order says it was shipped the 16th of Feb.

When I check the tracking number I get this
--------------------
Tracking information for this piece is unavailable at this time. Tracking may take 24-48 hours after your mail piece has shipped. Please check back at a later time for additional information.

If tracking is unavailable after 3 days, please contact your shipper.

Any ideas if it actually shipped?

That was it. I downloaded it a day before the update.

Thanks

Anyone else having issues with the pregen's Blue text (simulating someone filling out the character sheet) is out of alignment.
Everything on the far left hand side is fine but on the left hand side starting with the saving throws box, it all starts going out of alignment. And quickly becomes nearly unreadable.

You know... I'm really getting to not like the word Pending..

And based on the picture I'm guessing she cast Lightning Bolt...???

The text said oldest spell cast as powerfully as she could. Feels like a cantrip to me. Not sure "witch" :)


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

It's a miracle! The divine cards arrived!!


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Hello,

I ordered all the spell cards. One box (Divine Spells.. how ironic) was shipped one day before the rest. The others showed up on my doorstep 2 days ago.. no sign of the little lost divine box. How long before we assume the post office lost it?

On the other hand, considering the spell text is available in numerous online sources and multiple VTT products, the spell cards are probably the least exciting version of this. From the preview, it looks like the backs of the cards are likely to be the same for all spells of a tradition, so it's not like, say, the Bestiary battle cards, which include images for monsters not depicted (but have statblocks) in the Bestiary.

True.. but it was the thing that switched me from saying no thanks to pre-ordering $125 or so worth of paper. So there is that.


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Hold on so I just read this article and was in the process of putting all the cards in my cart when I found out I needed to know about this two hours before hand? So now I am not eligible for the pdf of the spell cards?!?!
That is just wrong. Everything else gets backwards eligibility but not this? I'm going to order in the hopes you change your mind
But I might cancel if you don't.


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Anyone know if when the label printed is completely random, or based on something (location, number of items on order, etc). I only have few days points but it seems that since I added cards to my subscriptions my orders have been taking longer get printed.

Persistent Damage is a Condition, but also damage, there's not really anything in there that you quoted that say it's not doubled.

Here is why I don't agree with that. Persistent damage is the name of a condition, that condition applies its own damage. The damage that it applies only happens at the end of the targets turn.

Damage dealt by strikes happens right there and then. The rules for doubling describe you doubling the damage occur on step 2 of the damage application rules. The damage is applied on step 4. All that happens before the strikers next action.

Persistent damage is applied just like normal damage on the targets turn. It runs through the exact same steps on its own, at that time it no longer connected in any way to the critical hit.

That is correct. Where in the rules is this complicated?

The rules explicitly state how damage is calculated and doubling a condition's value is not mention.

page 451 -

Persistent Damage
Persistent damage is a condition that causes damage to recur
beyond the original effect. Unlike with normal damage,
when you are subject to persistent damage, you don’t take
it right away.

Doubling and Halving Damage
Sometimes you’ll need to halve or double an amount of
damage, such as when the outcome of your Strike is a
critical hit, or when you succeed at a basic Reflex save
against a spell. When this happens, you roll the damage
normally, adding all the normal modifiers, bonuses,
and penalties. Then you double or halve the amount as
appropriate...

?

Acid Splash creates a persistent damage effect on a critical, it doesn't double it.

Acid flask only does 1 point of acid damage and the listed persistent damage and the listed splash damage.

Then they showed an example but the example looks wrong. Both because it doesn't mention the one point of damage and it mentions doubling the persistent damage which if you read the doubling rules it should not effect.


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Persistent damage and critical hits.

I read the rules on page 451 indicating that persistent damage is a condition and its damage does not occur with the strike and thus is not doubled.

However several examples of doubling in other sections of the book appear to indicate that it does. Namely Acid Splash example.

Can we get an official ruling?


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

I have had the rulebook subscription from the beginning of 2e.

When I go to the My subscriptions page it shows the following
----------------------
Most recent product:
Pathfinder Core Rulebook shipped by 07/18/19 via USPS Package Service (estimated 4 to 8 business days in transit)
Pathfinder Bestiary shipped by 07/18/19 via USPS Package Service (estimated 4 to 8 business days in transit)

Next product:
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Planar Adventures (Cancelled 07/17/19)
Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide
-----------------------

I assume that means it is all OK, and that the Planar Adventures that I did not want will not interfere with the Gamemastery Guide shown below it.


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

As of this moment, my Jan orders have been completed (Yaaayyy!) but now my side cart only contains the Battle Cards (Yaaay!) the new Adventure (Yayy!) but no Game Mastery Guide (Booo!)

Can someone correct that before February shipments roll out?


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Luckily my order has shipped so no worries for me this month. However next month the devil must be given his due. Oh well. At least a had two shipments with no tax.


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Posting again because my January 14th order is still pending and it is the 28th...if my order does not get resolved until February will I be taxed as well? Or is it set for orders ordered by a certain date?


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

So if my order for January that is still pending does not get resolved until February will I be taxed as well? Or is it set for orders ordered by a certain date?

They'll be printing more of the bulk labels tomorrow afternoon/evening for some overtime shipping on the weekend. When the labels are printed those orders are being processed for shipping and the PDFs will be added where applicable.

So if I did not get a notice from last night's bulk print job, is is safe to say I won't get my PDF this weekend?

Same boat. Must be the weather. Luckily I don't NEED them this week (or even next week) but I am just wanting to enjoy the books.

That's just literally what the process is called. Paizo didn't name it.

Credit card authorization takes about 30 seconds and it does not involve us, no real need to list it as a step in the process.

So far everyone who answered my questions regarding authorization has stated that authorization was the email that they send you detailing out the order that was generated. It does not mention authorization of any kind, credit card or otherwise. It literally is a notification that the order was generated.

I understand the need to wait to give people a chance to cancel the order. I'm just saying the process could be better described.

2. pre-shipping authorisation

I keep reading the words authorisation which to me implies that the person is notified and must make an action to give the OK. But when I ask about it, people say I need to do nothing. Can we just call it pre-shipping notification because as the days go by and I keep seeing pending and not shipping I keep wondering if there is something I am missing.


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Any neutral good gods of Death? Asking for a friend (I mean PC I'm building).


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Thanks for the great info Joana!


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Also should I be seeing the GMG in my sidecar for Feb release? I only see this

S Pathfinder Bestiary Battle Cards
S Pathfinder Adventure: The Dead God's Hand

Should I be seeing this in my sidecart? Because I don't see it, I have other Feb releases but not the most important one.


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

I'm pretty much in the same boat.. Does Customer Service work over the weekend? Fingers crossed we get shipping this weekend!


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

My order has been pending since the 14th. Is this Normal? Do I need to confirm anything (click a button, say go for it, etc?) to have it move from pending to perhaps shipping?

Sorry still new at this subscription thing.


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

While it is not as bad as 5e where either it had darkvision of normal vision. It is frustrating for so many creatures immune to sneaking in the dark.

Not sure if I will just convert some creatures to low-light vision, or change how darkvision works.

My main idea is to assume the spot the creature is in to be the base level light. and Allow then to see perfectly into the adjacent lighting band, and the band beyond is considered to act like Dim light (grants concealment).

Like this
Bright -> Dim -> Dark

If you are in Bright then you can see perfectly into Dim and consider Dark Dim for detection rules.

Of if you are in Dark, you can see into Dim perfectly and bright areas are considered Dim.

If you are in a Dim area you can see perfectly in all bands. This makes creatures with Darkvision prefer dim light. I think it works well thematically.

No. You can always get the latest information on shipping schedules in the month's New Releases and Shipping thread's OP.

I not talking about general shipping. I have seen others saying they received their emails for products I also have subscribed. I have not received ANY auth emails yet. Not just the delayed items. I just want to make sure that my Gods and Magic and others will be shipped soon.

I have glitches on my account before... so I am just a bit concerned.

Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

I am still new to subscriptions. I have 4 subs and 3 of them will kick in this January. I see a number of items in my side cart. So if I understand this correctly I should see these in my order history on the 13th. Is this correct?

Pathfinder Weapons & Armor Deck
Pathfinder Bestiary Battle Cards
Pathfinder Lost Omens: Gods & Magic Hardcover
Pathfinder Adventure: The Fall of Plaguestone


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Thank you both for the help!


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Thanks for your help!


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Ok, lets see if I understand.
I have had the rulebook sub from the beginning so that should not be an issue.

For the accessories sub I don't like the idea of crit fumble cards so waiting until the 29th of Jan seems best.
For the lost omens gods and magic drops the 29th as well.
For the adventure sub I can choose fall of plaugestone since I don't have it yet.

The optimal choice would be to somehow hold off Plauguestone until the 29th. That way on that day all will be triggered and I will get the discount on each of those products.

Does that sound right?


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Here are the corresponding Order #s
9116245 - Pathfinder Adventure Subscription & Pathfinder Accessories
8002621 - Pathfinder Lost Omens Subscription
3395375 - Pathfinder Rulebook Subscription


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

OK, now I think I messed something up.
On one PC my shopping cart was empty, on another it said I had 4 items to preorder.

I assumed it was a browser caching error and I just told them to be removed.

But now I am wondering if I just messed up my subscription orders.
When I go to my subscriptions page I don't see any reference to Gods and Magic which is the first item I wanted shipped to me from my new Lost Omens subscription.

To make this as quick as possible, here is a list of my subscriptions and the first products I was expecting to get.

Pathfinder Lost Omens - Gods and Magic
Adventure Subscription - The Dead God's Hand
Rulebook subscription - Gamemastery Guide
Accessories - Pathfinder Weapons & Armor Deck and Pathfinder Bestiary Battle Cards

And of course I was also inquiring about the 15% discount that I assume will get applied to these, I understand that the bonus subscription to the pathfinder society subscription would not come into effect until after the 4th item is purchased, but I would hope that all these products mentioned would have the discount (as honestly it is a large factor in going all in like I did).


Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

I recently added subscriptions bringing me to 4. I do not see a discount being applied to my future purchases. Will this get resolved before they are shipped?

Also one item ships a few days before the others can I bundle them together to get a reduced shipping fee?
