They should be updating this product's description and art soon. Hopefully this week.
Dragon,
I hope so. I'm guessing by Friday if not next Friday.
"Is it safe?";)"Oh yes, don't worry. I'm in no danger at all!"
"I don't know what you mean. I can't tell you something's safe or not, unless I know specifically what you're talking about."
Super healing powers activate.

I certainly would't mind seeing some new alchemical remedies, and better ones. They are cheaper than potions and give characters who put points into Craft (Alchemy) something useful to do with their skill.
Did you know that if you are suffering from the nauseated condition drinking a dose of Wismuth Salix allows you to roll a save at +2 to end the condition? Would be useful, except the only action you can take is a single move action per turn, so you can't drink a potion, elixir, or remedy while nauseated. So maybe add a remedy in a jar where all you have to do is open it (as a move action) to release the anti-emetic vapors.
I also wouldn't mind some new pharmaceuticals and tech healing to supplement the Tech Guide. Even an quarter page would be nice, it might actually tempt someone to spend a feat on Craft (Pharmaceutical). My group is 4.5/6 of the way through Iron Gods and the tech healing options are just underwhelming -- we really want to like them and call them cool, but we don't; we use regular healing. Well. except for Medlances, those are awesome and my alchemist keeps a bandolier full of them with pre-loaded potion and infusions. Against willing targets administering is a move action (see Nausea relief, above) so it saves me having to use Touch Injection and has better action economy.
I would also like to second the plea for a damage and condition transfer healer (an Empath-type) which was mentioned on the first page of this thread.

I can't wait to see the final cover and product description.
Probably won't be this week Dragon. Might be next Friday or the first Friday of December.
I doubt it would be this week as well but it would be nice if it was.
Drives me crazy when they have to push back the release date of a product...sure would be refreshing if they actually pushed UP a date for once. That will never happen, unfortunately.
I believe we now have 2 PCs slated for January...which means the other will likely be shoved back to February and all the others following them. I would love to get TWO PCs in a month! Sure would cut down on shipping.
Anyway, still looking forward to seeing an update on this.
Things get pushed back all the time, you get used to it. Well actually B6's release date was pushed up since we usually don't get them till the end of the year;)
Since it did get pushed back, it looks like we will have to wait till next month for a product update. Though they there is a chance for an update at the end of the month.
Hopefully my imagination hasn't hyped this product to the point that when I get it, I will be disappointed.
Dragon,
Healing is never can never be overhyped. I mean look at how many people avoid death in the real world!
It can if the options you want to see are not in the book. Especially when you have had time to let your imagination think of a lot interesting things:)
Meh. I think the options they'll have will do fine. You're always the pessimist to my more optimistic nature.
It comes from experience and high expectations for this company:) Also I have been disappointed with multiple products lately.

I have enjoyed the products thus far since March. Archetypes, Magical Items, many hidden gems in there as well as spells. I have hopes for this because not everyone wants to be a killer type. They want to save lives. In our game where you can sell items and goods and services. Spellcasting is a service you can sell. ^_^
I have not, I am sick of archetypes, most spells, most feats, and to be honest I haven't really seen that many magic items I like. What I want to see is more bloodlines, wild talents, hexes, oracle curses, oracle mysteries, rogue talents, etc.

I doubt this will have much to do with curses, talents...perhaps bloodlines, wild talents, hexes...
Archetypes, spells, feats are pretty popular. I really like them. In fact, I can't get enough of them.
Curses probably not, Four, like you said. Hexes already have healing hex so maybe something like that? No idea about bloodlines.
I wouldn't put it past them to do discoveries (wizards, not alchemists), and maybe talents and/or Ki Point for unchained monks.

A curing/purifying hexes for getting rid of some status ailments would be nice.
Dragon,
Probably. But I thought there was already a healing hex/cure hex going around.
Something that makes combat healing more viable that doesn't require the Heal spell when you really need to heal right now.
Healing pool that can be divvyed up(Replaces standard channeling? Should be something that can last several encounters..)

A cleric version of lay on hands (perhaps replacing a domain, or as part of a Positive Energy subdomain off of Healing or something) might be one option.

Ooh definitely.
While cleric is my favorite class, I don't mind at all spreading the healing love around. Fast healing rage powers? Heck yeah! A vampire-inspired rogue/ninja/slayer trick that heals the sneak attacker 1 pt. / sneak attack die when she sneak attacks? Bring it! A similar thing for fighters, but going off when a critical hit is confirmed? Yes, please! Rogues with advanced surgical skill, modifying and improving the Heal skill, instead of trapfinding modifying and improving the Disable Device / Search skills? Sure!
Some feats that add curative effects to channeling or at least allowing a second save vs negative effects like poison. Maybe the ability to use multiple channels for spell effects like heal, raise dead, restoration, regeneration, etc.
Dragon,
I thought there was on for Sarenrae that did that. Or was it Shelyn...

@Dragon Channeled Revival from Ultimate Combat lets you burn 3 channels to do breath of life. Plus, a lot of deities have feats that let you do cool things when you channel.
Admittedly, it'd be nice if they weren't ALL deity specific, so you could apply more than one of those feats to your channeling...
I want feats that anyone who can channel can use.
I hope this is the week the product gets updated.
Dragon I'd assume so since it's coming on in probably four to five weeks from Wednesday.
Well you never know;)
I think Extra Channel should be tweaked so it can be taken more than once, I believe most classes can take 'Extra X' more than once.

I believe they've been actively moving away from the 'Extra X' feats, since often the class features you get are out-and-out better than a feat. I don't know the rationale, though. Maybe a power creep thing? Maybe to make e.g. your Kineticist Wild Talent choices more meaningful, since you won't be able to grab everything?
EDIT: Actually I think I'm conflating things a bit - there's a big power difference between the 'Extra Feats' that provide more uses per day of an ability, and those that open new options like Magus Arcana.
Greater extra channel;)
Extra Greater than Awesome Lay On Ultimate Hands?
Greater channel- use two channels to heal living and harm undead at the same time with a single channel.
Plausible,
I just enjoy using lots of adjective and adverbs.

There seemed to be plenty of both for the occult classes in Occult Adventures, so I'm not seeing where they're moving away from them. Not everything for every class, but still plenty of stuff.
Hopefully there will be some more options that grant fast healing, immunity to status ailments, etc.
I would love to see rogue talents that grant healing and curative abilities.

Hmm, on review it looks like you're right. Welp!
I thought I remembered the options being there, but more limited in power compared to similar feats in older books.

Updated with final cover image and description!

Interested in the feats, blessings, mercies, etc. but archetypes not so much unless they have some for non-spell casting classes.
I'll be interested in seeing what the arcane physician gives up. And what they came up with for new mercies. Buffs? I can't think of any condition removals they were missing, but I'm no expert.
