Yes. It seems only the Pawns were touched but the errors in the Pregens or the booklet were not.

As this is a recurring problem (at the least since Highhelm), is it really that difficult to find the cause?

From skimming IT, two things I noticed:

In the Hero's Handbook page 64 Helping Someone, the Aid DC ist still 20 instead of 15.

On Kyra's Charactersheet the Box of the Deception still is ticked, but the proficiency bonus is at the Diplomacy skill, which I guess is the intended one.


Probably a bit late and also a question in vain, but could the Day Zero Errata be incorporated into the PDFs on official release?
Instead of being some extra text on the website?


The curriculum theme is not a new idea. Has anyone here heard of "The Dark Eye"?

How are Wizards going to be handled, who did not go to a college, but had a private Teacher or Mentor?

How about Hedge Wizards?

Are Tian Xa Wizards expected to have visited the same colleges as Inner Sea Wizards?

Fragile grace could be +Cha or -Str, the "immense talent and knowledge" line is about how others see Elves, and honestly, we're in the "all X are Y" stereotype territory which is what Paizo likely wanted to ditch.

Ouch.

That guy above with his rant about supposedly universal American traits, is a great example of why this kind of stuff belongs in the trashcan.

While I did not follow or see that discussion, I still (mechanically) believe saying "the average Elf is..." is very much not comparable to "all US Americans are...".

But that is just me.

Should they not just focus on the optics now?
Or are those from now on truly disconnected?
There's no need to. Literally nothing in the "Physical Description" of Elves suggests they are frailer than other ancestries, or of Fetchlings that they are in some way more dexterous.

Literally??

I am reading this description:
Elves

elves possess a fragile grace -> - Con, + Dex
grace, sharp intellect -> + Dex, + Int
with immense talent and knowledge -> + Int

The attributes were once based on these descriptions.
Thus my question whether there still is some correlation or practically irrelevant.

Those prices go into effect beginning in November.

For the old PDFs, yes.

But the Blog entry explicitly stated:

Quote:
Effective October 26 for new releases and November 1 for all other PDFs...

How come the pricing differs from the announced changes?
