Allowing longbows from horseback with penalties
Quote:
When mounted, the mount only moves if you Command it, even if it'd normally get an independent action (PC1, p. 437).

Regarding the part in bold, the PC1 doesn't say it cant use its independent action? Where are you seeing this?

Why is that the only other option?
If the physical book starts shipping on the 16th, then give all subscribers access to the PDF version of the book on the 16th and the physical books can go out as normal.

Then non subscribers can get the pdf on the 30th.

October 30th for non-subscribers.
And for subscribers?
Whenever your book ships. If you're in the US, probably in the next couple days, though we're running low on shipping deadline for today, so hope for tommorow or Friday, otherwise probably next week.

I live in Australia so I'm guessing not for a long awhile.

This delayed release is a bit silly, why not release the PDF at the same time so everyone is equal?
it’s not delayed, it gets sent when your book ships.

Delayed in that you're only given access after your physical book begins shipping. That of course isn't going to happen for everyone on the same day and even Paizo has said it could take until next week. That just seems kinda sucky if you happen to be the unlucky ones that get stuck at the end of that queue.

It is (imo of course) a silly way to do it, just give all subscribers access to the PDF on the same day at the same time separate from when your specific book begins shipping, no one gets screwed, no one's unlucky.

Honestly pretty worried after that Vindicator preview, just based on the feat part:

"With feats like Call the Hunt, vindicators make their hunted prey off-guard if they and at least one of their allies are both adjacent to the target, and the vindicator can share their divine sanctification with their allies!"

It sounds like once again the ranger is being designed for melee. Which I get they CAN do, but martial ranged rarely get anything and the Howl of the Wild book is a prime example of that.

And funnily enough whenever a ranger is depicted in art they're usually always depicted with a bow or ranged weapon, yet they're rarely actually designed, mechanically, to favor a ranged weapon.

And this one is no different!

??? Rangers are great at range, what are you talking about. Flurry loves not moving, Precision has a big damage bump that doesn't care about being in melee, they have plenty of ranged feat support and animal companions.

Yep, and both edges and animal companion mechanics all perform objectively better when you play a melee build.

The majority of ranger combat feats require melee, there are no agile bows and all combat pet feats are based around you being in melee with them and flanking is of course significantly easier to position if you're melee.

Ranged ranger might be "great", but melee ranger is just always better :(

It's Wednesday the 22nd for me! But clearly I'm in the wrong timezone.

I believe the PDFs are unlocked manually when the Paizo staff enters the office. I think they open at 10:00 am Pacific Time.

Aw :(

I hope that's not the case.
