Is there any way to ensure that if I order the core rulebook, I will get the 3rd printing, or at least the 2nd? I have the 1st printing, and I want one that has been updated with the errata. Been burned twice on Amazon with 1st printings, so I am hopeful if I buy it from Paizo, I'll get the most current printing of the rules.


I'm still not clear on this, and I think I asked the wrong question before, so I will start over.

The Fury Instinct Barbarian's Raging Resistance resists "physical weapon damage, but not physical damage from other sources (such as unarmed attacks)" (page 87). So what does this resistance actually protect against? Is it only against manufactured, wielded weapons (swords, clubs, arrows), or does it protect against the natural weapons of monsters as well (claws, teeth, stingers)? Does it protect against the damage dealt by mechanical traps (scythe blades, darts, spikes), or do they count as "physical damage from other sources"? Are "unarmed attacks" limited to Fists (page 280) for the purposes of this ability?


So a Fury barbarian's Raging Resistance only applies against manufactured weapons, not against any sort of natural weapons? That is weird, and weirdly written. Given how much emphasis they put on the difference between unarmed attacks and weapon attacks, and that historically, monster natural attacks have been considered to be armed with a weapon, it's strange that they left this unclear.


The Fury aspect barbarian receives Raging Resistance against "physical weapon damage, but not physical damage from other sources (such as unarmed attacks)". My question is, in Pathfinder 2E, do monster attacks with their claws/jaws/tentacles/spikes/horns etc. count as weapons, or as unarmed attacks?
