Confirmation Email arrived. Went to the library section under my account under the store page(New webpage not old one) and it was right there. currently downloaded and enjoying for some late night reading. :)

So far the only problems I've had are,

1.Old web page still comes up. have to go to the store section to correct it to the new one.

2.payment method won't accept new options/re-add old ones.(Though strangely the subscription page still shows the old payment method as active)

3.Current subscription page has the right subscriptions on(Starfinder & Pathfinder Rulebooks, plus Lost Omens), However the Draconic Codex isn't showing and the page says Next Order Jan 1.

I'm guessing all of the above is just first day glitches and will be resolved by the end of the week.

P.S. I'm hoping this doesn't affect my Draconic Codex Lost Omen Guide Subscription cause that type of glitch would suck.

So we know 4 of the 5 chromatic

Horned = Green
Cinder = Red
Rime = White
Bog = Black

Any theories on the Blue?
Since it's terrain was deserts, possible Dune or Oasis or with its lightning powers a Storm Dragon.

Most likely going with the theme of (OGL) blue dragons in Golarion set by Kazavon(CotCT), it would be Conspirator Dragons.

I wonder what remaster changes were made to the 2 classes.

Hopefully a paizo twitch stream or blog post will give details.

Shipment confirmed, My watch has ended.

Card charged Friday but no shipping notice. I have now left an email and voice mail.

I'm not okay with this long a delay between charging and shipping.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY ORDER!?

Sorry, long day at work and coming home to this delay still happening is not sitting with me right.

Edit: Just got a call from customer service. situation should now be resolved.

In my experience it basically means your order will be shipped within next few hours

still no email. contacting them directly now.

So I did the email, however with the weekend I'm not going to get a response till Monday. I did look at the order on my account again and saw the line recognizing the charge to my card. So most likely my card was charged but the product won't ship till Monday, and since the PDF access is based on the order being shipped it should be available to me then.

Here's hoping for a better Monday.

P.S. this is the first time I have dealt with such a delay between charge and shipping so my confusion might be just due to my bad luck that my order's charge and shipping happen around a weekend.

Note for Paizo: please try to not let the charge and shipping process happen on separate days(especially weekends), it's just makes customers like me confused and worried.

ATTA Terevalis Unctio: sorry to hear about your order situation and I hope it gets resolved before Gen-Con. But sadly it does say "end shipping estimate" at the top of the thread, I just wish they would post about any delay or technical issues for the subscribers so no one gets any expectations about the subscription that can lead to frustration like yours. communication problems have always been an issue in the gaming community be it tabletop or electronic.

Well I just hope my order ships tomorrow.

With this months releases and all I'm not surprised about the delay in shipping. My Watch also is ongoing. But part of the reason I'm not as impatient is ironically due to the PDF lock on the Starfinder Player Core, So I was going to haveto deal with a delay on it anyway.

I know other people were doing subscriptions for the early PDF, I'm more of a penny-pincer so I was doing it more for getting the PDF for free. So the delay doesn't bother me as long as I get the PDF by the street date. :)

$177 total for this month, ouch.

The paizoian in me: “my watch begins, I’m so excited!”

My wallet: “Brace for Impact!” *siren wail*

Quick question, I know other sins for the Runelord archetype being introduced in this AP have been hinted, but will the player stats for these be given in any particular volume or scattered throughout the AP across all three volumes?

My watch continues....

My watch has ended.

My watch continues....

My guess would be that we may get a Remastered Magus, Summoner, and Psychic in the book where the Necromancer and Runesmith are printed, if at all.

Honestly, My own personal option is that Dark Archives will get the Guns & Gears remaster reprint, but the Secrets of Magic material that hasn't gotten the remaster yet will most likely be in the upcoming, "Impossible Magic" book. (Guessing the name there). It would most likely contain the remastered Magus & Summoner along with the new Necromancer & Runesmith.

I've been thinking that maybe as a way to offset the proficiency issue is to give them a +2 status bonus for the weapon made by OSTEO ARMAMENTS feat if it is also a weapon from REAPER’S WEAPON FAMILIARITY feat.

Also I love the Idea that they can gain another feat BONE ARMOR(1 Action) which give the necromancer armor like that of the kineticist feats.

Medium Armor; AC Bonus +3; Dex Cap +2; Check Penalty –2; Speed Penalty –5 feet; Strength 14; Bulk 1; Group Skeletal.

Armor advances with necromancer class DC at one tier lower, instead of normal armor proficiency.

Something like these could help the necromancer melee with feat investment. I believe everyone else on the forums here have a better idea on ability synergy than I could think of.

Got my Shipping Notice. :)

Hopefully I don't have this delay next month, Fingers Crossed.

I got charged on my card but not shipped. I'm hoping that means I'll get my shipping notification tomorrow along with my digital product.

so much for getting my digital copies before public release. :(

here's hoping I don't get any worse luck and not have it ship tomorrow.

My brain is starting the play the Jeopardy interlude tune on repeat in my head. Who at Paizo is casting this hex on my mind?!

I believe the post does say estimated shipping dates, so it isn’t unlikely for the process to take a little longer. It’s just annoying for the unlucky number of us to get shipped a little later, would have liked to have gotten my pdf and shipping notice at least a week before public release.

Hopefully we’ll all get the last of our subscriptions shipped for this month on Monday. Hopefully.

I don’t have my PDF yet. But does the animist get a focus magic item? I know other casters with focus spells have one each and was wondering if they get one here too.

Just Sent an email to customer service. last day of window and no charge or shipping notice yet.

Funny thing is I mentioned a Monty python joke on page 2 of this thread and no one’s noticed. Guess I misread how deep and stimulating the subjects this blog post was going to be.

Oh well I’m still no less excited for the war of the immortals book!

Also quick question for the devs if spoilers allow, will Exemplars be proficient in medium armor at least at 1st level or as a later class feat option?

The only time anyone here should mention Inquisition, is when nobody is expecting the Spanish Inquisition.

If we already got the previous pre-remaster version via subscription, will we be getting the remaster PDF update? or is this a completely different book?

does Paizo ship on Saturday's?

My watch still continues.

My order (Just PC2) is still listed as pending. but they are dealing with alot right now, So I have patience since many of the other things I want I don't have(or want) subscriptions for and would have to wait until the release date anyway.

I swear if he summons a talking celestial Lion and four British kids with that lamppost I'm outta here.

Nevermind got the email today. my email server must be slow.

Considering the pattern of a deity's death(If the mantle is not relinquished or taken shortly after) causes a "out of control moment" with a part of the portfolio without their guidance, and that their death starts or is part of a Planar War, with the developers have not said that the death causes a major effect on the material plane politically(besides the end of a faith) I have a strong Idea of who it might be.

I think Gorum kicks the bucket. Think of him as the Nuclear deterrent of the planar realms. the moment the god of war who can wreak anything is no longer there to "persuade" realms not to seek conflict, they will most certainly take up arms and act on old wounds and rivalries. Someone might even kill Gorum to make it easier to wage war.

I also think of the major 20 deities he is the least nuanced deity to have a religion for Meta-wise. all the other deities have multiple aspects that a cleric can follow making no two clerics the same. At the same time his tenets seems to demand that all his priests be warpriests and not cloistered clerics.

Both narrative-wise and Meta-wise Gorum is most certainly the deities whoses death would be the most effective to do. On top of that similar to how Arodens faithful flocked to Iomedae for support I can easily see many Gorumites flocking to a deity of the Abused and Dignity since other then conquest(Asmodeus), Justice(Iomedae), and liberation(Milani), the other reason why people fight is to defend their dignity and oppose or gain retribution for abuse.

so my money's on Gorum and I'll even put that down as an investment at the First Vault.

So this person obtained a spark of divinity and kept it within one of his personal items, and since then the stories people tell about him have caused his divine powers to grow?

I didn't know Cayden Cailean was an Exemplar!

Interesting. I like the idea of him being an Exemplar, though unlike us PCs he must have gained his divine spark in the cathedral, whereas we get our from the shards of the dead god.

But which god?

ooooh :O Does this mean the rakshasa tiefling equivalent will be its own heritage eventually as well? Nice

Possibly in a Vudra world guide.

Still waiting on my shipping email, can someone put in a spoiler tag what the new Wizard Class Archetype is? I think someone said the wizard got one.

FISH GUN!

I know this may not be the case but would the remastered Thassilonian Wizard Archetype be in this or was that not planned?

One of the things I noticed from looking at this class is that the Channeler and Sage practices seem both too underwhelming and have similar problems to the cleric doctrines. So I was trying to think of what might be better is to use the fact that some of the spirits seem to be natural(primal) and some seemed more supernatural(occult).So what if instead of the two current practices having access to all apparitions maybe they should instead access apparitions based on Animist Practice.

1.Shaman: Primal Apparitions Animist, gains trained in Nature, can access more nature magics and class feats with some god caller flavors. Example Iconics:Samo & Shardra Geltl. can gain an optional familiar. Apparitions include: Custodians of groves and gardens, Stalkers in darkened boughs, Stewards of stone and fire, & Vanguards of roaring waters.

2.Medium: Occult Apparitions Animist, gains Trained in Occultism, can access more weird magic and ghost/haunt interaction effects, Harrow card references or possible FUTURE 52 spirits(?). Example Iconic:Erasmus. can handle possessions better with more skill/option flexibility. Apparitions Include: Impostors in hidden places & Witnesses to ancient battles.

I think that this type of Animist Practice might allow for more character options and designs for players to tinker with and play. not to mention more themes to match with a wider verity of games to play, Quest of the Frozen Flame fits Shamans well and Stolen Fates for Mediums.

What is everyone's thoughts on this? what do the developers think about this idea or was this a concept that was put aside in development?

I remember back in d&d 3.5 there was a horror adventures rulebook and in it there was an archivist class that was an intelligence divine caster. I can't remember the book or the class name. But I'm reminded of that.

Edit: Found it, Heroes Of Horror, WOTC Print October 2005, Archivist class Pg.82.

So I decided to bulletpoint what was said in stolen fates about the “possible” future adventure paths here in a spoiler. Keep in mind all of these refer to heroes rising to challenge them.

That’s possibly 13 future APs, some of which may be red herrings.

While I am a fan of these changes, the Schools change is a big deal. While for most of the releases after the original core books can still carry over well, Secrets Of Magic is the only book I can think of which will need the most changes as none of the Lost Omens books have any major change, nor do Guns & Gears or Dark Archives have any needed change.

Secrets of Magic on the other hand,

1.The Eight Arches of Incantation is no longer relevent.
2.The Summoner Dragon Eidolon will need updating.
3.Minor clean-up work for the Magus.
4.Full rework of the Runelord Wizard Archetype to deal with the changes with full school writeups.
5.Elementalist expansions for the new planes if not in Rage of Elements already.
6.Soulforged armaments update and cleanup due to alignment removal.

This alone is a least 1/3 of the book, so I think of all the non-core rulebooks this is the only one that would be worth a Remaster.

they can also,

1.Enhanced the descriptions of the different types of magic by making a chapter for each (Arcane, Divine, Occult, Primal), taking some of the Book of Unlimited Magic material and spreading them among the relevant chapters.
2.giving an overarching narrative to tie the book together like they started doing with Book Of The Dead, maybe using the characters from the Tradition Treatises and On Essences sections to act as the books narrators.
3.Revise the Spells and Magic Items from the original release and add some new ones.

If the print run of the book is almost sold out this might be a good idea to do by the developers.

From the Remaster stream at PaizoCon just now: Wizard subclasses are now not based on the classic Spell School options (gone with the OGL), but rather literal in-world schools of magical study! A Wizard who studied civic magic will have different options than a military mage, to use the examples from the stream.

I've never, ever wanted to play a Wizard before, but this flavor is very tempting.

It's Great but now there is some worry about how the Runelord Archetype works.

As a fan of Runelords I need more Details.

If the cover image for the character guide give an idea of the 6 new ancestries. so along Tanuki, Samsaren, and Wayangs, my bet is, Kappa, Tsukumogami, and whatever the shadow creature from Spirited Away is in the back.

So Pathfinder Unleashed for Starfinder. Nice! :)

Alchemical foods?! *Rolls an Alchemist Chef*

Since I've not yet received my shipping email yet, can anyone spoiler a list of the deities in this book?
