Maybe we need a "crafter's deck" as well. :-)

I absolutely AGREE!!!

For the 'Warhammer/Battleaxe' weapon (damage= d8S or d8B, he may extend the haft to make it a 'hand-and-a-half' (one OR two handed) or two handed (d10 for 2hS or 2hB).

For the 'Maul/Greataxe' weapon, he may extend the haft (already a 2h) to make it a polearm.

Are you looking for this?

Since the Lost Omens Character Guide is the reference mentioned in the overview for those ancestries and heritages, I looked for it on Paizo's website and didn't find it.

In hopes the reference actually was published with another name (and someone knew the true name), I decided to ask here.

I did find the 1st edition introductions for the Aasimar, Gillman, and Leshy, but not the 2nd edition intros.

I also have a few questions, which I hope I can answer when I receive the Gamemaster guide I have on order.

Mostly, the questions deal with the extra-dimensional scions:
1> If a god/goddess sent a servant to 'visit and bless' an orc/elf female, would the resulting child be considered a half-orc/half-elf as well as an extra-dimensional scion?
2> How about if that servant 'blessed' a female of some other ancestry (like Hobgoblin or Catfolk)?

I did get a slight hint of the answers in the Lost Omens Ancestry Guide (enough to work with, in truth).

I'm confused. That link takes you directly to the page where you can purchase the Character Guide.

Also, as keftiu mentioned, all of the information for all of the PF2 ancestries are available for free on Archives of Nethys.

Don't those two things solve your problem?

I changed my search of my Paizo website slightly and found the Character Guide (interesting how changing your search slightly can make more content available, isn't it?)

I thank everyone for helping me find it.
I plan to ...eventually... bring in a character with a catfolk mother and a Celestial father (Aassimar... either angelkin or law bringer). He'll be either a Champion or a Barbarian.

More info on all of those are in Lost Omens: Ancestry Guide

I have the Advanced Player's Guide and the Lost Omens Ancestry Guide.

In fact, it is the mention of the Character Guide in the Ancestry Guide that prompted my original post of this thread.

The Ancestry Guide does not mention the City of Lost Omens (which I did notice on Paizo's website)

Yes.

I am trying to create a comprehensive character (I love designing things, so I can't 'just make a character'... I 'must' really get into the details).

I am awaiting delivery of the 2nd Edition Game Mastery Guide.

I already have (in 2nd edition):
Core Rulebook
Bestiaries 1,2, and 3
Advanced Player's Guide
Secrets of Magic
Lost Omens Ancestry Guide

Can somebody please tell me where I can get the introductions of the following ancestries/heritages:
(in 2nd edition... I found three of them in 1st edition)
Aasimar, Azarketi (A.K.A. "Gillmen"), Hobgoblin, Leshy, and Lizardfolk

If you're interested in being part of Paizo's published content, my suggestion would be to participate in whatever their next playtest is. Generally they not only actively monitor the forums for feedback but also solicit feedback through specific surveys. You won't see your name in print but you can help steer the ship in a small way. I myself can point to a rule that got changed between the PF2 playtest and the final...

This is very good advice.

Well, I've been looking thru the things published on this site.
I found the "Sprite".
This little gem is amazingly like the "aerial" I sent to them when I played Pathfinder a couple years almost a decade ago.
I am not certain if the sprite is a PC race, but it doesn't really matter.
Sending in my creation as a PC race would be silly, now.

I'm just glad it's now in the game.
Now, I can just play the second edition, learn its intricacies, and enjoy.

I'm thinking of getting involved with the organized play they feature on this site.
When I learn enough, you guys can expect me to run some... out of the ordinary characters.
;-)

High fantasy and technology are not now, nor have they ever been, mutually exclusive.

Also the arquebus didn't debut in 2nd edition AD&D, firearms and high-tech weapons predate that and have been in D&D in some capacity since basically its beginnings. People often just forgot/overlook that because Gygax had an aversion to letting tech into the game (he let a player be a gunslinging wizard from Arizona transfered over to the Greyhawk setting but insisted on a treatment of a "wand of thundering" instead of a revolver though it was in all ways but name a revolver) so his materials shied away from tech, but the other of the big names to have created the original game (the one whose setting gets the tag-line "the first fantasy campaign") threw in high tech energy weapons, space ships, and all kinds of other stuff as elements of the history of the setting.

HEY!!!

This is less about whatever's going on with your order (which legit sucks if there are technical/shipping issues, but seems unlikely to be intentional malfeasance) and more about getting your content published. Paizo has always let people publish/sell 3rd party content using their rule system, which is honestly pretty dope for a corporate entity. But no one owes you getting to see your name in print.

If you want to get published, then go use Drive Through RPG to get yourself published. If you're content is good enough for people to pay you for it, congrats, you just became a "professional." If your content is really good, Paizo might contact you about doing some work for them. That's how tons of Paizo staff joined the company.

You've got the freedom to self publish. This idea that a company needs to publish for you is absurd. Especially when thus far you've established no credentials that you're worth publishing. In fact you've undermined your credentials. What you've established so far is you haven't read the game yet and didn't even realize you were looking at first edition material. Now what about about that narrative makes it seem like you're going to make worthwhile contributions to the rules?

You make some VERY good points.

In case the intent was to purchase the PF1 rulebooks as well, the (EX) stands for extraordinary ability; this is an ability that may be beyond the realm of human possibility in the real world, but is non-magical in the setting. It's unaffected by anything that targets magic. The (SU) stands for supernatural; this is an ability (like a dragon's breath) that is magical but not a spell. A dragon doesn't cast a spell to create the effect, but it's still magical - so something like an anti-magic field would stop it.

I didn't mention it. but I have the pocket editions of "Secrets of magic"," bestiary (1,2,& 3") and "guns and gear" line up for my next "order".

And Pathbuilder 2. Free app for easy PF2 PC building.

I take your reply to mean I am not the ONLY player to have problems ordering rulebooks from Paizo

I checked that Pathfinder-Lost-Omens-Ancestry-Guide.
I noticed the write-up did not mention a system for creating new PC races.
In other games; such an item missing would mean the publisher has decided they don't want players to submit their own designs for PC races anymore.
Is this true?

Is Paizo still allowing players to create and/or submit new races?
I know they used to (I did submit a race and was told it would be used... it was not).

I may be new to Pathfinder 2, but I had almost 2 years of PF1 after I was introed about a decade ago (Never owned the books, tho)
You wouldn't believe how long ago I started gaming. (hint: I played a game called "Greyhawk" before it was renamed "Dungeon's and Dragons")

Ahhh, now I think I understand (not "clear as mud" anymore).

I now understand how I got into this situation.
I was introduced to Pathfinder years ago (in collage).
I used the books at the time to design many things (I love to design).

I particularly designed a new player race, the group I was with tested that race for several months (with me upgrading, then blind testing without upgrading).
After the race was 'finalized' (not 'finished'); I sent the race to Paizo.
They liked it and said it would be included in their new Pathfinder online game.
Well, we all know how well THAT went.

I got away from Pathfinder for a while (real life has a habit of interfering with gaming); but decided to get back into the game.
This linking of PF1 and PF2 is the result of me coming back.

As soon as Paizo sees fit to send my newest order of books (I'm having a surprising amount of trouble with them and no other companies); I should be able to join the rest of you online and with my 'new' PC race (which I'm calling "Aerials")

I have a small problem that's rather confusing me.

Reading thru the rulebooks I recently bought (2e core rulebook, advanced race guide, and advanced class guide); I've noticed (usually for the feats) what look like category makers.

They're things like "(EX)" and "(SU)".
I need to know what they mean and where I can find out more about them.
It is obviously important. but I have no idea what they are.

I have the "advanced player's guide", "ultimate guide to magic", and "ultimate guide to combat" on order.
