There is some thought that since there are only 3 Modes of Game Play (Encounter, Exploration, Downtime) and that there is no Exploration mode Carry Weapons, along with the Rangers Quick Draw Feat being rendered obsolete, that one must burn an Action in Combat to Draw Weapon(s).
I have done some rudimentary research into this idea, but I have yet seen anything to actually support it.
Ranger!
This became a discussion in the 2e game I'm running. It makes no sense to me and there's no explicit rule about it.
In other news, still playing with either Fighter or Bastion archetype for Julril.

Julril frowns, "Might I highly suggest we not? I'm not entirely certain, but all evidence seems to point to this tomb being Desnan in origin, and I'd hate to disturb it. I think we may have eliminated what evil has taken hold here..." He frowns further in doubt, "But I guess there's only one way to be sure."

Julril raises his shield, points his sword at the shadow girl and a beam of pure positivity shoots forth.
"I really need you to die, again!" Disrupt Undead:3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5) = 11

What else are clerics good for?
Julril grabs hold of his holy symbol of Iomedae and channels forth a healing burst.
Three action Heal, says it targets ALL living and undead creatures. Positive Energy:2d8 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

Julril continues to assault the shadow the most effective way he can.
Again with the Disrupt Undead! DC 18 Basic Fort, Enfeebled 1 for 1 rd on crit fail, not an expert caster yet! Vitality dmg:3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) = 12

Julril has used 2 prepared Heal spells, and the wand. He's used Treat Wounds on Sansaárë. Unless he's now a remastered Cleric, he's out of Heal spells, and can't use Treat Wounds on Airi for another hour.

Julril stiffens as the icy claw rips through his soul. He ◆steps back away from the shadow girl and lashes out with the power of vitality!
◆◆Disrupt Undead: DC 18 Basic Fort. Enfeebled 1 for 1 round on Crit Fail. Vitality dmg:3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5) = 15
it's been a while. I need to go back and see how much healing was wasted in the previous room.

As I understand it, the Remaster is in response to the whole OGL debacle over at WoTC, and Paizo wanting to distance itself from D&D, so they had to go in and change the names of things (Magic Missile is now Force Barrage) and remove things (Drow and Owlbears, etc) and futz with the mechanics a bit to make a product that is more wholly theirs and not so much a derivative of D&D.
Personally I'm still learning 2e, and I'm enjoying it. I do feel 1e got waaaaay too much bloated and unwieldy in its late stage, and I appreciate 2e's return to basics (although it's expanded quite rapidly, and now the Remaster is going to reset everything again, and all new content will be based on the Remaster, which is all hard to keep up with for us more casual gamers).
In my exploring options for new games to run I found the 2e store to be already overwhelming and I don't know how people keep up with all this content.

Remastered I guess is PF2.5e. The cleric actually seems better, as the Healing Font ability is no longer weirdly tied to your Cha score. I'm not totally familiar with all the other changes, other than no more Drow and no more Alignments.

Julril sees that Airi has foolishly remained in the trapped room of death in order to disarm the traps. He grimaces as she eats three more magical flying stars. He turns back and grants her a reprieve from her pain.
◆Battle Medicine: Assurance Medicine: Treat Wounds DC 20:2d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 1) + 10 = 19
"Do try and stay alive. I believe there's a mummy in the next room over."

"They are the absolute worst," Julril replies to Leo.
Julril channels a healing spell at full power.
◆◆◆Heightened Heal:2d8 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
"How's that?"
Julril replays the fight in his head and realizes he got the worst of it, Still down 18, he pulls out the wand and patches himself up.
◆◆Heal from Wand:1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Julril concentrates again on expanding Iomedae's blessing, then moves into the chamber so that all his friends may benefit. he steps up to one of the skeletons and swings.
Strike: Smoking Longsword+Bless+Flank:1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11
It isn't that hot.

Julril wonders why his shield isn't working. He concentrates on his prayer to Iomedae and her blessing spreads further.
He then swings his sword at a skeleton.
Strike: Smoking Longsword+Bless:1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 = 28 S dmg+fire:1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5 Crit S dmg+fire:1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11
Then raises his maybe defective shield.

Background:
Born into an offshoot of one of the minor noble houses, the Mourngryms were a merchant family. Though
her parents often went on trading trips abroad, Eowithe was restricted to Magnimar when growing up.
Occupying her time with walks with her tutor through out the city , she became quite conversant with the
history of Varisia and Magnimar. When the histories proved insufficient to dull the boredom of childhood,
Eowithe ventured far within her dreams. So much so, that she caught the attention of a servant of Desna.
While dreaming, Eowithe became aware of a presense "watching" her imaginative creations, a presense that
was always on the periphery of her awareness, a cloud of butterflies. Over the years, the presense slowly revealed
itself within her dreams, introducing Eowithe to the intentions of Desna to maintain the dreamland's peace and the
sanctity of the void of stars. Finding much to appreciate about this philosophy, Eowithe began taking excursions to
the temple of Desna to speak with the priests there. Her concern over what her family may think of her new religious
interest was made irrelevant with word that her parent's caravan to the Linnorn Lands had been attacked by brigands;
all were dead. A trust was revealed to been prepared for her; to be given to her on her 18th birthday. Saddened by her
loss, Eowithe prevailed upon the priests of Desna to allow her to study with them, to fulfill her desire to serve
Desna. The priests agreed, having divined Desna's interest in the girl. Four years of study followed, often in
directions that dismayed her priestly tutors. In her time with the Priestesses of Desna, Eowithe became enamoured
with the properites of the Void and the stars that lay withi. Countless hours were spent in the temple's modest
hilltop observatory, tracking the motions of celestial objects and using lenses from faroff lands to peer at the stars
revealed. Eventually, other studies called and through them Eowith took on the mantle of Inquistor of Desna, sin-eater, though
in practice what she "eats" will be the slain's nightmares, to allow them an eternity of dream-like peace.
Throughtout her time with the priests of Desna, Eowithe had occasion to meet members of the Pathfinders, attending the
priests of Desna for advise on matters of dream, luck and travel. Their devotion to the history of the land and their
obvious openness to the possiblity of dreams made their association quite appealing to Eowithe. Seeing a possiblity to
further the ends of her own goddess, Eowithe has presented herself at the Lodge in Magnimar for induction as an Initiate.
Notables :
Barnabas Notte - tutor
When her parents were slain, Barnabas continued teaching Eowithe, her trust saw to his stipend. He is still a stalwart friend,
and mentor, someone Eowithe will turn to without question for help or advice.
Telerin Sonoh - Priestess of Desna
Her primary instructor and discipliarian while Eowithe learnt her trade. Stern and authoritaian in the classroom or practice yard,
in private she revealed to Eowithe a compassionate ear and an irreverant sense of humor. Another mentor to whom Eowithe would turn
to in need.
Brakstrom Neel - ne'er-do-well
A short romance that ended with some tears, he still has a place in Eowithe's heart, despite his lack of ambition and general minor
criminal tendencies.
Sniid Demtron - former major domo
her family's former major domo, Sniid took her parent's death quite badly, disappearing from the family estate and embarking on a many
year bender in the seedier parts of Magnimar. Eowithe discovered him, insensate, in a slavers den and brought him back to Desna's temple
for recovery. He drifts in and out of Eowithe's life now, descending into debauchery and the slowly pulling himself back to a mere
shadow of his former ,proper self.
Appearance:
Dark haired and intense, Eowithe stands tall with the certainty of her faith. Typically Varisian, she possesses a grace
that belies her obvious martial nature. Her shield is emblazoned with a stylized pastiche that resoves in to a blue and gold
butterlfy when seen from a distance.
Personality:
Eowithe shares a quick smile and sometimes surprising sunny personality with those she knows and trusts. Her curious
nature, coupled with her intense Inquistor skills can be off-putting to some when first introduced, but most come to find
her warm and compationate. However, when presented with crimes against her mores ( slavery, pestilence, mayhem) her beauty becomes
fierce with her fervor, her gaze uncomforatble in it's directness.
