People found it too complicated, so crafting was standardized to four days. Easy houserule to bring it back, though!
Then we are back to no true Neutral Outsiders again yes? Aren't Psychopomps the neutral outsiders?
A condition in a scenario that is triggered by specified actions is one thing. Every GM having the freedom to decide what earns a point seems like it would invite conflict between players and GMs. Infamy is strictly better than the PFS1 version of an alignment infraction. In both cases, the GM must inform the player that their actions could be considered Evil and the player has a chance to reconsider. Infamy is better because GMs have better examples and guidelines that reduce table variation from the PFS1 implementation.
We'll also have a free PDF-only playtest bestiary and other free game aids, such as character sheets and rules reference cards.
From the context of Mark's post, a potent item gives an ability boost. So, multi-potent would be an item that boosts multiple scores or allowing multiple such items. The wizard will naturally prefer Int boosts, and only have a Cha boosting item if allowed to boost more than one score with items.
Do anyone have a link? Saw many mentions, but didn't find the original post.[...]No, she's the same (semi-famous now?) barbarian from my other post about healing who (for no really barbarian-related reason but due to the player's other choices for the character) has some serious healing. A wide variety of classes have some form of healing available. linked

I happen to have a wood spirit shaman (from Heroes of the Wild) that I'm playing in PFS tonight. Did it just get reprinted, or are there changes? I didn't notice any changes.
Spoiler: Claws are natural weapons.
No. One of the favorite things the devs like to talk about is being a bear-owl.
Does the Rageshifter still get natural attacks?** spoiler omitted ** Spoiler: Slams instead of claws, and bypass hardness instead of DR
Spoiler: Divine spellcasting with a witch patron. They get Wild Shape into a single animal per beast shape I. Very neat for a nature vigilante, I think.
Thanks for answering our questions KingOfNinjas. What are the hunter archetypes? Spoiler: Chameleon Adept
Forester
Patient Ambusher Plant Master Scarab Stalker Treestrider
Spoiler: Fiendflesh shifters can assume fiendish aspects for minutes per day, including DR/good and darkvision. Eventually gets wings and energy resistances.
Rageshaper doesn't get animal aspects or wildshape. She gets bigger and goes into a rage. She must make an easy Will save to end the rage, and if she runs out of rage rounds, she is confused instead of dropping out. If you liked the idea of the Brute(vigilante), but hated the execution, this might be the archetype for you.
Other Section Contents: Blighted Myrmidon (anti-paladin) Commando (gunslinger) Nature-Bonded Magus Ferocity (psychic discipline) Symbiosis (psychic discipline) Wood (shaman spirit) Leshy Caller (summoner) Plant Eidolon Arrow Champion (swashbuckler) Wildstrider (swashbuckler) Avenging Beast (vigilante) Feral Champion (warpriest) Disaster Blessings (earthquake, flood, tornado, wildfire)
Did you say there are antipaladins? What do they do? Are there any shaman options? Any cool rituals? Spoiler: Just one. A Blighted Myrmidon that smites nature.
Wood shaman spirit. There are five new rituals. My favorite is for putting kaiju back into their dormant state with Perform checks.
Spoiler: Three archetypes.
Weretouched shifters gain DR/silver and have a hybrid form of their aspect. Four!
What all did the Barbarian get, if I may ask? Spoiler: A whole page of rage powers: Four seasons, Tyrant totem improves bite attacks, and an eclipsing line that lowers light levels nearby.
Brutish Swamper
Does blighted defiler have art? Is it of Yoon? If Yoon grew up, shaved her head, and was a total badass, maybe.
Spoiler: The terrakineticist's element is determined by which terrain she's in.
Spoiler: No. They are not specific patrons. Four seasons, thorns and woodlands.
Flood walker likes to drown you
Who has questions?Details on the Oozemorph would be greatly appreciated. <3
Is the Horticulturalist different or a word-for-word reprint? Spoiler: It is the same, lightly edited. Constant speak with plants was delayed to 10th level, though.
Anything new for the Brawler? Does the Verdant Shifter turn into a plant? Any new archetypes or similar options for animal companions? Spoiler: Five archetypes. Verdant Shifter has plant shape instead of wild shape. Yes, both role and heritage archetypes.
Is one of the options for a vermin companion a butterfly/moth or similar? Spoiler: There is a butterfly/moth familiar, but no companion. The closest would be a dragonfly companion.
Anything for the wizard? Spells count, right?
Spoiler: There is a new bloodrager bloodline (Verdant).
no. The preview will do it more justice. It's a leshy, but a little more like a person.
Does the elementalist shifter combine kineticist elements to him? Spoiler: The elementalist shifter has elemental aspects instead of animal aspects. And an elemental strike instead of natural attacks. They don't have a relation to the kineticist.
What Archetypes does the Alchemist get, and are there any new Alchemist Discoveries? Spoiler: Horticulturist and Ice Chemist
Yes. My favorite discovery makes you taste bitter. Creatures that bite or swallow you must make a Fort save or sickened or spit you out.
Is the blighted defiler evil only? And is their kinetic blast based on strength? Spoiler: Yes and no, in reverse order.
The defiler's signature ability is evil-only, but you could play a non-evil Strength-based kineticist without defiling the land around you.
How many options are there respectively for vermin/plant companions? Are there any new ways to unlock them? Spoiler:
Eight new plant companions and twelve vermin companions.
There is a hunter archetype for plant companions, and language for GM discretion allowing plant companions to any druid. Ask your GM!
How many archetypes are there for the Shifter? Six. (listed above)
Who Has Questions?So, of the new archetypes, which ones would you consider fey related?Of those that are fey-related, how many are for/against? Spoiler: Several archetypes are related to fey in their flavor or abilities. Only the paladin archetypes and the antipaladin archetype could really be said to be for or against. I'm not sure how to answer your question
Who has questions?Well, since somebody already said Shifter can turn into the Hunter’s animal focus list, I’m mostly curious about the Shifter’s archetypes. Spoiler: In addition to the hunter list: deinonychus, lizard, wolverine.
Elementalist Shifter
Who has questions?You have the PDF? If so, I'd love to know about the str based kineticist archetype. Spoiler:
The blighted defiler gets bonuses from stealing the life force of nearby land and baby animals. The DCs of wild talents and Con-based effects of wild talents are based on Strength instead. What kineticist archetypes are there? Spoiler:
Blighted Defiler
Leshykineticist Terrakineticist Did they improve on woods lackluster defense? How does the wood element look? Is it better than it was previously or just a compilation ? Spoiler: Flesh of Wood looks the same. There are several additions, such as the wood/wood composite blast

My orders this month were split into three packages. I've received TWO shipping notices already and neither contained Ultimate Wilderness. Paizo crushes dreams.
Advertisements do tend to slow down performance. Which browser do you use? For most, I would recommend uBlock Origin.
Spoiler: Highlights of the Rot patron include warp wood, fungal infestation, and creeping doom.
It does sound like the monsters are just a coat of paint over a set of numbers though. Maybe if you constrain yourself to painting by numbers. If you already have the vision of what you are building, the system lets you realize that vision with a strong sense of what level of challenge it will provide to players.
It feels like stats were summed up and then a monster was slapped on as an afterthought, rather than a statblock built for that particular monster. And then there's the class grafts... Have you listened to the monster creation panel from GenCon? That might give you a better idea for how the process works in practice. The room made a pretty weird monster together.
Each of the heritages include areas where they are common. Spoiler: Scapegoat give a bonus against curses and once per day you can attempt to absorb a curse from someone. If you succeed, the remaining duration affects you instead.
There is a focused patron option called Fey Gifts that may be of interest. It's geared a little more toward the trickster kind of fey, but I think you could make it work. You'd get a portion of the Horned King's ability to command others at the cost of some luck.
The bit about boy witches reminds me of a character concept I had. I wonder if there will be anything for males born from hags? Surely the don't only birth changelings? Hags only bear female children, but some changelings lack clearly defined sexual traits or may grow to express masculine identities.
The Devastator Connection is related to the Cult of the Devourer.
Something helpful, but infuriating. A siri of skittermanders?
This is an irate 30 year old saying "I paid the same price as everyone... Just a note, but you haven't paid yet. The funds may be authorized, but you aren't charged until the shipping label is printed. You'll get access to the pdf as soon as you've paid for it. Edit: I really like Opsylum's banquet analogy.
Some months you get lucky and ship on the first day, and some months your order is last out the door.
Super interested in the spiritualist archetype. Does the Hag phantom act as the spiritualists patron? Is it still a spontaneous caster (just arcane now)? Do they get any interaction with the traditional witch patron mechanics? Thanks for any hints :) Spoiler: The hag phantom isn't a patron, but they are a bit more independent than a typical phantom. They are evil, and might have their own schemes.
What are the changes for the sea hag born changeling? Spoiler: Sea-born (or brine may) have the same hag trait as before, allowing them to hold their breath for longer than normal. When they awaken their hag heritage, they gain a swim speed. Their ability modifiers favor dexterity instead of charisma. They are also very fickle.
The patron categories are one of the things I'm most excited about. They make having a patron more interesting and play well into the theme of power at a price. Spoiler: There is a good variety:
Celestial Agenda- Endurance, Healing, Light, Portents
Void hags have stellar cauldrons.
