Well this looks pretty dang cool, though I question the need to sell a printed version, especially if they are black and white. Feels like something that could be just given out as a PDF. Lord knows the community will have their own versions going pretty quick.
We will definitely have a PDF version of this product, and I expect it to be popular.
We're probably in the final decade in which printing a product like this makes sense, but we're going to give it a shot and see what happens.

Are the 2E character sheets still going to be Landscape like they were in the play test?
I hope so as I much prefer a landscape sheet to preserve room on the tabletop. If not I hope the come out with a landscape option like they have finally done for the GM Screen. (And thank you so much for that Paizo, I love it! I'm surprised you didn't make that an exclusive, although actually I think i prefer the art on that to the character portraits from all the letter GM Screens so I'm not complaining at all!)

As far as I know form-fillable PDFs are not compatible with Paizo's watermarking process, so I wouldn't get my hopes up for that.
All the more reason to make the pdf for character sheets freely accessible imo.
Sure there will be lost sales, but I cannot help but think better more organised character sheets help the community more in general.

Those will be.
This product is an entire folder of your character's backstory, progression track, daily routine, favourite snacks, etc.

Now that I have the book in hand, seriously want a copy of official character sheets..... These or the ones from the book, but mostly these. August 1st can't come soon enough, need these on PDF

Hmm, just bought the PDF. It seems they decided to switch to a full color version somewhere along the line. That means the ink usage is going to make this less desirable to print out and use often.
Are there plans to do a black and white printer friendly version, and if so can I obtain that without paying again?

I am very disappointed in this. There is no printer friendly sheets. I don't know who in their right mind though all this red was a good ideal, but it is completely and utterly crap and poor design.
I regret buying these sheets. I paid $10 for something I effectively can't use. This will eat through my ink in no time. Very disappointed.

The Pathfinder 1e and Starfinder Folios were in color, was the Playtest Folio not?

I'm pretty sure the product description initially said it would be black and white. See my earliest post in the thread. Either I misunderstood something or they decided to change it somewhere along the line.
I think it is probably the latter, because Erik Mona's response to my own makes less sense if it was always going to be full color. In which case it is a tad frustrating that they didn't highlight that change a little better.
Don't get me wrong, I don't regret buying it per se, but this means I'm making my players print their own rather than just handing everyone a sheet, because that's a lot of toner.

Has anyone taken a look at all the class specific sheets? I've noticed at least one misprint and at least one other spot that was weird formatting compared to other classes with the same abilities

I can confirm the problem on the fighter sheet that somebody mentioned. In several cases, two features were granted at the same level, but the first was listed at the correct level and the second was listed one level later, leaving no room for the feat actually granted at that higher level.

The Alchemist light armor master is moved down to the level 20 spot, Champion's shield block reaction box is formatted different than that of the cleric and fighters
Just two that I've notice

this isn't a folio and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a playtest folio

Ah gotcha.
And there was this but reading the description it was more folder than folio.

Pretty disappointed that there isn't a printer friendly version included here.
Seconding that. Since you don't want to destroy the product to use it, your only real options are to make copies of the physical product or print pages from the PDF. Either way, you want to be able to print it easily -- but repeatedly printing from a corrected PDF seems like the most reasonable option.

This is really the most useless product Paizo has published in a long time. Not only are the colors a sore for the eyes (Black & white would be fine), the specialized ones are also full of errors and inferior to the Standard sheet.
The three additional sheets are okay, though.
Luckily this is the only useless 2E product.

The Fighter sheet looks wrong...It is missing open feat slots at 8, 10, 12 and 14? It looks like then fighter does not get any class feats in those slots
Please fix it!!! :) form fillable and printer friendly would be great also :)

Just my opinion, but Paizo, don't waste your time with a form-fillable version or affect sales by providing a version of these for free. I recall a printer-friendly version of the character sheet included in the CRB was made available so that already fills the role. Please focus your time and efforts on new content and watch sales of this product to indicate whether or not it is acceptable to the masses as is, or requires a rework to improve sales. However, by all means fix any errors that exist and let us know when the download file is ready with the changes. Thx

It's not class specific, but feel free to use my character sheet instead of these. Link with explanation. And feel free to let me know what would make it more friendly to your favorite class.
There are other cool sheets around the community as well.
