Yay!! Thank you all for being awesome and contributing to Paizo and its products!

I will keep this brief. As a community, especially in the Organized Play region, there have been many peer calls to leave reviews for adventures, or regular releases. We especially saw this with LO Legends.

While it's easy to direct someone to the link where they can leave reviews, it isn't very intuitive for a couple of reasons. One of these being that the link to click to review a product is hidden in the line of another sentence. Secondly, the link color of dark blue fails to contrast the black of the rest of the words. This makes it more difficult for parties looking to provide feedback. If an idividual is less invested in offering their opinion, as well as having a hard time figuring the system out, they may choose to abort. I fully feel that this may lead to an increased percentage of negative reviews, as we know people are prone to persist out of dislike moreso than an affinity or indifference; furthermore, decreasing the total number of prospective responses.

If possible, could we look at making this process easier, and more noticeable/intuitive? Thanks for your time!

Agreed! And anything that can be done to reduce the rate of the site "eating reviews" would be great--I've had at least 3 eaten. I know I should learn to write them outside of the box but apparently I can't help myself :) and while I tend to persist, others may not.

People are complaining in the here and here that the Pathfinder Lost Omens Ongoing Subscription page is showing the wrong starting products. It only gives you the choice of starting with "Gods & Magic" or "Legends"

It should be linking to this page
Lost Omens Subscription that lets you start with "Pathfinder Society"

Also, as I was trying to figure this out, I was getting a page that would not load. I'll try to find it and add it to this post

Here we go

I got to that url by clicking on the breadcrumb at the top of the page of the Subscription thread

Pathfinder / Setting / Campaign Setting / Campaign Setting

Clicking on the second (furthest right) "campaign setting" link sends you into an endless loop.

As an added note to this issue:

Even when starting from the link CrystalSeas mentions, which shows Pathfinder Society as the book you could start with, adding the subscription to your cart only lets you start with either Gods & Magic or Legends.

Try this link

Lost Omens Setting Subscription

Unfortunately when you add it to your cart you can still only start with Gods & Magic or Legends :/

I understand artists might not always produce according to canon, but blacking out the eyes of elves to fit Golarion norm seems like an easy fix to apply to non-conforming artwork. Just a bit disappointed that elves are set up as alien and so forth, only to casually fall back into "slender humans with pointy ears" territory, it doesn't feel like serious dedication to unique setting.

Anyways... Subsytem for dismemberment obviously is priority before guns, sorry I don't make the rules... ;-)

Could be a half elf!

Doesn't the Windsong Testament mentioned mean that all of the gods (including Pharisma) will die eventually as well (other than the Survivor?)

Yeah, that was my understanding as well. But I believe they are supposed to be in-world legends/myths/stories, so it's possible they're wrong or don't have the whole story!

I'm trying to make a list of everything I'm still missing from my Pathfinder collection, and I'm trying to figure out just what's been released for Second Edition as far as Campaign Settings and Adventure Paths and that kind of thing. I click on the Second Edition listing and all it gives me are the rulebooks- is there anywhere where it says "hey, these books here are for First Edition and these are for Second Edition"?

It gets kind of confusing because right now, everything's all mashed together in the same listings and I don't know what's compatible with what...

Looks like Salamileg got it pretty much covered. But this link should continue to be a pretty good reference for you, broken down by what sort of book/other source they are. It will only cover things published that have rules elements in them, but so far (and I suspect forever) 2e books should have rules elements in them :)

It's a link from the officially sanctioned pathfinder reference website Archives of Nethys, which is an excellent resources for rules. 10/10, would recommend.

I mean, your description isn't exactly wrong, but it's coming from a very specific place and whether it's accurate sort of depends on one's point of view.

The souls that dissolve don't generally do so until they're ready to on the Good planes (all sorts of s~@% can happen on the non-Good ones, but that's rather the point), and go on to become one with the plane. Becoming one with the plane that epitomizes one's highest ideals isn't exactly oblivion by most reasonable definitions. It's the end of that individual, certainly, but many real world religious beliefs hold out the eventual loss of identity in a way very much like this as a good thing (Buddhism leaps immediately to mind).

On a practical level, since this only happens on Good planes when a soul is tired of existence, wouldn't it be more horrifying if there wasn't some way out of an existence grown utterly stale? Looked at as a choice, even if it's a form of death (which is, again, a matter of perspective) don't some people have the right to make that choice?

Really, it all depends on how you look at it.

This. If you want to see a good example of this action, try watching the final season of THe Good Place. Actually, do it anyway, because that show is great.

... but watch the other seasons first :)

In total agreement with all thee above. Darksword Minis are great for shoony miniatures although it will be a bit hard to cover every class. Unfortunately I don't think we will see any minis of shoonys from Paizo anytime soon since the race is only covered in the Extinction Curse Vol 3 right now. I believe they will be making it into the Advanced Race Guide coming out sometime next year though.

Yeah, hopefully with that book we should see at least pawns for the shoony. I was hoping to see them in the Extinction Curse pawn set, but I guess there wasn't enough room!

I'm spending so much time reading everyone's comments about the playtest my eyes are aching like mad. Please make a dark theme for the forums!

I'm personally not a dark mode fan but I'm all for the forums having the option for those who are!

Hi,

Does anyone know where to find Shoony miniatures or pawns?

Thank you.

There’s some decent ones here (search for pugs):

Consider the ability to "overclock", at the risk of taking damage or passing out.

2E oracle in playtest had it, 1E kineticists has it.

People keep telling me it's a really bad idea, and obviously Paizo agrees since the Oracle lost that. But the CE Champion (the Paladidnt?) has it so it's not like their totally against the idea of self-harm powers.

What exactly was the problem with it? I'm guessing it was a community social thing which some thought was in some way disruptive to the game?

I have to say that I was a bit... jarred... to be scrolling through the forums here and see a post title that started with such a common trigger phrase. I'm sure you had no intent to hurt anyone, and it is an accurate term for what you are describing; but I personally would not have opened the title with that so that the topic of the post is clear before the phrase comes up, and honestly I probably would have chosen a different phrase.

But of course, my experience is not universal, so that's only my 2 cp.

As for your post itself, I think the main issue was that it was just TOO punishing of an effect on the Oracle. You'll notice that there is still a cost for them to overclock their powers, but not nearly as severe. The knock-out effect sidelined a player for the rest of the encounter, and if the player is extenuating themselves to that point, it's probably an important fight and not a fight the player wants to sit out. This was definitely a cinematic type effect and I can see why some people liked it, but it def wasn't for me personally. Hopefully, as PF2E continues, Paizo will put out more classes that have risk-reward mechanics that'll also please people who want this kind of effect!

Dinosaur Fort was a typo made by one of the devs in a blog post during the playtest (It was supposed to be Dinosaur Form) and everyone agreed that the mistaken version sounds like something that needed to be in the game.

Ahhh form. Had been trying to come up with what the true word had been, but I could only come up with a single potential spell title and it seemed even less likely than Dinosaur Fort :)

I think they were talking about possibly squeezing dinosaur fort in, or at least releasing it in some kind of blog post or something. Mark volunteered to write it in on stream, XD.

Any chance someone could give me the brief rundown of where Dinosaur Fort came from? I've been hearing references to it in the streams for quite a while now, and I'm aware it came from some typo, but not much beyond that, so it would be great to learn some more about it haha.

EDIT: Typo'd typo

I would say the player just picks one of the traditions they follow. A spellslime comes from residue from the casting of of a spell. Every spell you cast is in one of the four traditions; there's no way to cast a spell that is simultaneously arcane and primal (i.e. you're always using a wizard slot/cantrip or a witch slot/cantrip).

So pick one and your spellslime can sense that.

It doesn't say "A spellslime comes from residue from the casting of of a spell.", it says "These friendly, colorful oozes congeal from the essences left over from casting spells". Plural. If you're casting spells of multiple traditions, why would just a single tradition's spells congeal and completely ignore the others?

To be fair, that sentences is saying oozes (plural) form from the essences left over from casting spells, so it could easily be interpreted as saying each ooze forms from a single spell. I don’t think this is the case but given that this is a small lore detail either interpretation could be valid with minimal impact.

Thanks!

So if I understand this correctly:

For 10gp I can buy Light Barding to gain 1 AC, -1 Armor Check Penalty, - 5ft speed penalty, 2 bulk, and they need to have a +3 STR modifier to even wear it?

Seems an awful price to pay for 1 AC.

Yeah, it's pretty rough. Overall, animal companions and familiars are some of the only things I'm unhappy with about 2e, it feels like they should have been able to do some really cool things with the feat system but they all wind up feeling the same and pretty underwhelming.

Greetings!

I am unable to find the rules regarding Barding (Armor) for Animal Companions. I see where it is mentioned that they can wear it, but I see no corresponding information about it.

What type of armor?
How much does it cost?
Is pricing different depending on size of animal?

On a slightly different note, is there a difference between small and medium sized creatures/characters mechanically? Bonus to hit? Higher AC? Easier to grapple? I am leaning towards no but would like to locate clarification.

Thanks for the help!
