Subscribers always get the PDF when the item is mailed out, generally 1-2 weeks before the "street date." PDFs for non-subscribers can only be bought on the "street date" which for Gencon is August 5th. This means that subscribers will get the PDF early at the beginning of August/end of July.
For certain values of 'always'. Keep in mind last gencon subscribers didn't get the PDF until the first day of Gencon but many received the Core Book sooner.
What would be the point of letting your hapless vic... er, new friends, read the fine print? ;)
You would only ruin their eyes, and that wouldn't be very nice.

Yeah, but Vic earlier in this thread mentioned that they're pretty certain the APG isn't going to work that way.
Well if it comes the first week of August is after my birthday which is disappointing but I will still have it to use to design a game for Fur Fright.
Has there any talk of additional ranger combat styles? If so, were any details given? I've done some forum searches but nothing came up ...Thanks!
I 'think' some were mentioned, but I don't believe any details were given.

Erik Mona mentioned a shapeshifting ranger in another thread.
Oh, yeah, give the ranger the same ability to break the game as the Druid, what a fantastic idea and ignore what some of us have been doing for unarmed styles, two-handed weapon styles...

I figured you of all people would be excited about more opportunities to change into animal form. ;-)

Oh, yeah, assume this one comment reveals all that Rangers have coming in the entire book.
Seriously, deep breath. Patience, at least wait til the book is out to start foaming at the mouth.

As GM for a player running a D&D3.5 Scout/Ranger, I know he would be very interested in a single-weapon, mobile combat style.
Mobility, Spring Attack, and maybe trade a class ability (animal companion, since his shadow-heritage already freaks animals) for bonus Skirmish damage.Add that, and he could probably convert his PC to single-class PF Ranger without a regret.

Hmmmmm ... interesting ....
Do you happen to have a link to this thread?
Thanks!

Snorter -- sorry for the threadstalk, but please see here:
Can you help me out?
I know this is a bit late (should have said it during the playtest), but here goes:
I really hope the book will include a feat like "Brutal Throw" from 'Complete Adventurer' (page 106): "Use your Strength modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier as a bonus to attack rolls with thrown
weapons."
I really look forward to playing a strength/intelligence based Alchemist and such a feat would allow him to also use the bombs.
Wow, oh Wow !!!
I think I just had a nerdgasm!!!

Definitely. But there is nothing stopping you from home-brewing such a thing yourself Snorts... or allowing me to do it instead.
If you go right back to my choice of class, it was based on the high number of undead rumoured in the latter stages of the AP plus the problems with 3.5 sneak attack for undead that made me go scout/ranger. In PF a rogue would be fairly close, plus some single weapon/fast movement goodness and you're there, or a ranger plus some fast movement/sneak attack stuff.
Sorry, going a bit OT there. APG could be sooo cool, but I'll wait til I see it - ideally, it would have some mix-and-match class ability swaps in there, but I know how hard that is to include...
i have a different kind of question. should i just cancel my "preorder?" since the "preorder" books arrive weeks after the books hit stores. because i would like my book in a timely manner. when i think "preorder" you are secured a copy and normally get it the same time as everyone else. i just ask because, the gamemastery guide still hasn't arrived and its been out for a while. seems like "preordering" is more of a penalty then a bonus. i would love to support the company directly, but i do get pissed seeing the books in stores and the "preoders" are still not in.

If you preordered a book from us and it still hasn't shown up... you should contact Customer Service. Because it sounds like something weird happened if you still don't have a GameMastery Guide.
The advantage of being a suscriber is the early and cost free PDF. ^^ As for the real book, it depends on how intently the costums guys want to fondle the package. My first suscription issue of Kingmaker arrived after less than a week, the last one after 3 1/2.

Just confirming that that's the plan here... we hope to ship subscriber copies around the last week of July, with subscribers getting PDFs at that time. The street date will be August 5, the first day of Gen Con, which is also when the PDF will be available for purchase by nonsubscribers.

I remember that feat fondly... in fact, in my PFRPG campaign, I've house-ruled that all Giants get Brutal Throw as a bonus feat. Worked wonders in Chapter 4 of my Rise of the Runelords campaign, hehe!

That's just mean! So I'll use it!
Thanks!
Since roughly a third of the witch's familiar options aren't going to be available to us for several months yet, will there be another "Bestiary II" preview at GenCon to allow us to make witches with goat or octopus familiars?
If this has been answered elsewhere I apologize for not finding it. But will there be any feats for the Alchemist class to get more discoveries? I am looking at this for something I plan on running at Fur Fright on Halloween weekend. One of the the pre-gen characters I want to offer will be a skunk-folk alchemist. For balance purposes, skunk folk cannot throw musk. So I want to offer them a way to fast track them getting the Stink Bomb Discovery. I am either hoping there is something like an Extra Discovery feat available. Either that or I may just house rule that when a Puzzola Alchemist chooses the discovery smoke bomb he has the option of getting stink bomb as a bonus discovery.

I'm not sure if this was asked, but is there any info on if there will be any feats or 'abilities" or classes, for that matter, that pertain to an archer build? I know ranger is typically the archer, but I went fighter archer, which is amazing btw, but I was looking for some class abilities maybe from either fighter or a new feat? I know there was the prestige class "order of the bow initiate" in 3.5, anything like that coming out in PFRPG?

There are 'specialty kits' for most of the classes, covering most of the classic archetypes. At the preview Banquet, Jason B mentioned fighters who specialized in using a single weapon with one hand free and described a few of the special abilities associated with going that route, and mentioned that over a dozen other combat archetypes got the same treatment. Chances are pretty good that an archer type, being a pretty iconic type of warrior, should be on that list. Only a few more weeks til you can find out for sure!

***FIFA Joke***
Is there a Divination Mystery that could be applied to an awakened octopus Oracle?
I think some German or Spanish paizo-folk would like to have a Paul around ;)

Again, if this has been answered elsewhere, I apologize for repeating the question. I've preordered the book, and am not a subscriber. Any hints as to when I can expect it to ship? Many thanks in advance for any info.
Preorders ship around the same time as subscriber copies... so the end of this month.

Good ti know, I look forward to it and the my adventure path subscription. The orc book is not really on my list of thing I "must" have especially another Golarion book. I'm beginning to think subscribing to the Companion was a mistake.
I don't suppose there's any Alkenstar love in the APG in terms of kits?
...
...
...
Well I didn't suppose there was, but a BOY CAN DREAM!
Not Alkenstar itself (as a region in Golarion) as this is a setting-netural product.
LOL I know that, I was at the banquet....*sniff* by Alkenstar I really meant guns.
Girdle of Gender bending comes back, though?!?!?!?
As an aside though, I hope some of those combat kits are not weapon specific so if I want to make a ranged character utilizing the kits to enhanc gunplay its an option.
Thanks Sally, I can't wait to see this book.
Nice. ;)
** spoiler omitted **
I was waiting for just the right post for that. :)

I adore the cover & it's great the Witch features on it. We have two female icons with white hair though (Seoni & now the Witch)?? The Oracle icon is so unique, perhaps the Witch icon will have red hair by the time the book comes out? Or is Seoni changing to blonde? haha
I cannot wait for this book to come out!!
Is anyone aware if the Witch's casting-tied ability score has been changed to Wisdom from Intelligence? That would be so great if it were.
I'll deal if it's not. I was just hoping for the change since reading the play-test guide. For many reasons it would seem to make sense to design it around Wisdom, rather than Intelligence. The most basic of these is that it differentiates the class.
Rather than seeming like a specialized wizard with hexes, the Witch becomes a Wise Woman (as Witches have generally been thought of in folklore); an arcane caster with Wisdom as her casting score.
Anyway I won't run on. If anyone knows the answer to this, can you fill me in? Thanks!
