I'm so happy to see the "meat and potatoes" of classic fantasy tabletop RPG's return to Paizo.

I'm by no means complaining about the diversity we've seen, but it's definitely felt like the core of Pathfinder has been lacking for a little while.

The weirdest part of having joined the Pathfinder player base after 2019 is that to me, Garund is the meat and potatoes of Golarion. Like, i've been playing in Garund since early 2021, first with the Slithering, then with Strength of Thousands, and now Outlaws of Alkenstar. The only adventures I've ran outside Garund were half of Extinction Curse and the Fall of Plaguestone.

I'm very curious to see what the rest of Golarion has to offer tbh.

yeah i'm also wondering where the famed fall errata might be...

a bit disappointing that the oracle mysteries remastered in this book don't come with thematic feats...

I think aphorites are the type that gets basically no fanfare, but there would be a fair amount of backlash if it wasn't in the book, y'know? I know I would be upset but that's just me being an autistic little collector of things that wants to have all the outer planar lineages because it makes the happy chemicals go brr

massive mood, my autism wants the ancestry guide to be updated so the old ifrit can finally only be referenced as naari.

my biggest wish for this book is themed wizard subclasses for all the schools

Oh i see Thaleon is one of this adventure's iconics!

Will the ashes and time oracles also be remastered, or will they stay forever stuck in the past?

I do hear that some folks want more 1st to 20th campaigns, and I hope we can do some again. They're not FOREVER off the table, but the reality is that it's healthier for Paizo for us to do four 3 part Adventure Paths a year than it is two 6 part ones. In the meantime, building a healthier and more balanced offering of low and high level ones with better guidance for linking them is my goal.

What if there was one 1st to 20th adventure and two three-parters per year ?

Wasn’t expecting a full on god to show up on the cover of an AP. Like that’s a HUGE npc

It seems like many things are too small to *impale* on said horn. I guess the horned dragon doesn't eat those things.

Well if the dragon is large it could easily impale a medium sized creature on its horn. Eventually it might need to move to other targets though. But with enough force could still get a stew-ish meal.

Will there be an advanced version? I quite like my encounter building tables...

Not a big fan of the flavor shift, but the mechanics sound really interesting.

the flavor shift? seems pretty much the same with just more flavour now.

Honestly it sounds super cool. I love me a flavoured subclass

Some of y'all seem to jump over this line:

"Let us be clear: Starfinder Second Edition is not an expansion for Pathfinder Second Edition. Both games are independent from one another, and Starfinder Second Edition is simply using the core rules engine that powers Pathfinder."

Everything is nice, except...

Cantrips losing modifiers is awful. One thing that I adored about pf2e, coming from 5e, is that even my low rolls did a decent amount of damage. Every player I talked to from the community I come from felt the same way, too. Now that's gone, it's right back to wonderfully terrible feeling cantrips of 5e, where you just low roll constantly and have no bonus.

Whiteboard math is great and all, but most players aren't math nerds who see a number and think averages. They see low dice rolls and feel like they did nothing in comparison to the martials.

I wish there was a place to give this feedback before it all went to print, but alas.

what about rolling high on the 3d4 cantrips

is that just something you've decided can't happen

If you want to assume that then sure. But otherwise — if we're talking about a 1d6, with +4 modifier: a range of 5-10 is going to produce better emotional attachment than a 2-12. the minimum being more than double is pretty big, and the high being only 2 more in exchange... Yeah, no, I'd prefer the consistency.

3d4 is a range of 3-12, and you have more chances of it being higher than 5 on 3d4 than you had to roll a 1 on 1d6...

The chance to roll a 1 on 1d6 is 16,6666666...%. The chance to roll lower or equal to 5 on 3d4 is 15.625%.

Since gnolls are getting renamed to kholos and gripplis to tripki, are catfolk, lizardfolk and ratfolk gonna be renamed to what they call themselves in universe too, ie, amurrun, iruxi and ysoki (ysoki would be great especially with starfinder 2e coming up around the corner...)

Has anyone else been trying paizo.com/corepreview after seeing it on Roll For Combats video about Rage of Elements and the remaster changes table in the intro? Keen to see what this preview will hold

This page I guess. but redirects to paizo.com for now.

Wait until one of subbies get one.

It sounds like the page will go live 5 minutes after the Paizo keynote address at GenCon.

Yep from what Logan was saying during Paizo Live June they are still deciding what might be in this document, either way I’m looking forward to this!

The page is live and the free Core Preview PDF is targeted to drop August 3, the first day of Gen Con.

If it's live why do I still get redirected to the Player Core page?

If folks want us to do more 6-part Adventure Paths... PLEASE let us know! The 3 part ones seem to be engaging people more and allow for more stories to be told in a year, and I'm hoping that we'll be able to settle into a rhythum that allows for more frequent higher level 3 part arcs, but if people do still want 6 part ones... we need to know. (And that includes seeing evidence in sales and reviews and the like for parts 4–6 of those Adventure Paths, not just requests at the front end.)

I'd love to see more six parters, they are very exciting for my players. I'll make sure to drop reviews as soon as we finish book 4+s.

I like the mushroom guy eating Seltyiel's cloak

I am glad to see so much data, but what I really want to is: is there any new data on the Eye of Abendego included in Rage of Elements? My current homebrew campaign set in Golarion has the party of PFS members hunting down answers to the Eye itself.

I have reasoning and lore setup for it, but I love following canon. Is there NOTHING on high level elemental locations in Golarion in this book?

Also, as for the Elemental Lords debate: I can't imagine them being true deities at all. They only have worshippers because people worship the elements. They are meant to be Guardians of the Planes... not gods themselves.

Demigod status, certainly, but deity status? Doubtful.

Just my two cents. If anyone knows anything, I'd appreciate it.

Elemental Lords ARE demigods. Demigods in the canon have the ability to grant spells to their followers, that's not a god only thing. They're even in the Demigods section of Gods & Magic...

I'm super confused why the bestiary needs a new version. Is it because of legal matters, and to accommodate the Open RPG Creative (ORC)?

Will there be new art again? Or a mix of new art and existing PF2 art?

Honest question (and maybe it's too early in the marketing), what benefits would an existing PF2 player or GM get from these new core sets? Atm, we're still launching PF2 in my area thanks to the lockdowns.

none, and you can still use the old ones. it's not a full revision, it's just a big book of errata and a rearrangement of three books into three different books.

I can't wait for the Player's Guide for this one to come out.

Are we gonna get a new Ascended? It'd be fun to have someone ascend in the age of Lost Omens. Probably would make for a neat AP too...

Oh heck yeah! This is up there with other player oriented source books. I'm sure it'll help to get our characters even more ingrained in Golarion. I'm so excited!

Will the GM screen for it available as a standalone purchase? I would very much like to have it, but I do no have 300 bucks to put on the gold edition.
