Man not only did the Chel’s lose some of the territory, they also lost their Ethnicity status.
Are the Nidalese a replacement or???
No, Chelaxians are actually Taldans ethnically. If you look at the Inner Sea World Guide, you may notice that Taldans are found everywhere that Chelaxians are. There really isn't that big a cultural or ancestral difference between them.

Yeah it’s the chemicals in the ink nowadays, it makes the typos mature faster.What does the Barbarian Animal Instinct "Deer" do? The 'CHARGE' weapon trait is not defined anywhere in Core Rulebook or Bestiary.
$80 for my deluxe CRB and it's already obsolete needing errata? :-(
Yep, no sooner do you take a book off the lot, it depreciates 50%.
I have bought the book as a direct result of bags' dreadful, one-star review. Seriously, f@@* that guy. I might not love the system, but Paizo is an awesome company who have earned my support and they deserve to succeed.
Paizo wouldn't be that awesome if they never got critical feedback. And yes, there is almost always something to learn from critical texts, even if they are short, one-sided and emotional like the review in question.

You are incorrect, David! It is an undisputed FACT that Cheliax is the Greatest Empire (TM) to ever have existed on Golarion, and we have nothing but contempt towards those inbred Taldorian dandies! All ancient Chelaxians have sprung from the Will and Word of Almighty Asmodeus, and that is why Chelaxians should have their own Ancestry entry in the core rulebook!

In retrospect, both taldans and cheliaxians claimed to be descended from azlanti(azlanti & keleshite and azlanti & ulfen respectively), but when you really think about it, that claim is really questionable considering there aren't really azlanti ruins in inner sea area outside of that one in serpent's skull :P
But yeah, cheliaxians didn't even have their own regional language and they were part of Taldor empire originally
Inner Sea Races revised the origin of Chelaxians as a mixture of Taldan and Ulfen, so at that point they were already moving the two ethnicities closer together.

That is fake news, FAKE NEWS! ;P

Incorrect, I believe there's an occasional Azlanti ruin in Cheliax. I'd have to look at the Cheliax book and Ruins of Azlant again to be sure though.
Any word on if the character sheet will be its own download like in PF1? My chapterwise download has it in the Appendix, but I was hoping for just the 4 pages of it.
They did! I can't personally link you to it but if you look through the Paizo blog you'll find it.
Happy hunting!

They definitely don't spread to Taldor though :p

I was just reading through the Halfling description, and this started bothering me.
Optimistic and cheerful, blessed with uncanny luck, and driven by powerful wanderlust, halflings make up for their short stature with an abundance of bravado and curiosity.
I'm a little queasy about the idea that short people need to 'make up for their short stature' by having a particular personality.

On the other hand I'm short and they nailed my personality spot on.

I've spent way too much time reading blog posts and the forums. Going through the intro chapters, I notice that the Example Of Play section features players named Erik, Lyz, James, and Judy and had a little giggle for instantly recognizing each of the individuals referenced.
Worth mentioning: The PDF is considerably lighter on PDF readers compared to v1, including those on weak tablets.
Question: is there any way to get the illustrations in the CRB as PNG files? I tried to extract them with both Foxit Reader and Adobe Reader, as well as this site, but some of the illustrations were just black backgrounds, or white silhouettes on black background. Is there a download on the site with just the pictures in the CRB for those who bought the PDF?
Several pieces of art in the CRB have been posted to the blog. You can grab them from there.
So if I buy this, does it show up on Roll20 with a linked Paizo account over there? Do I get a discount? What's the story there?
If you buy the book or pdf you get a discount on Roll20. I do not recall exactly how much. IF you buy the book on Roll20 then you get a free PDF from Paizo.

Many of the images in our PDFs include an alpha channel, which is (to oversimplify a bit) used to create transparency effects. How the alpha channel is displayed (and whether or not it is "flattened"—that is, permanently merged with the image as opposed to being kept on its own layer) is affected by some or all of the following: your operating system, the software you're using to extract the image, and the software you're using to view the image.
It sounds like something in your setup is causing the alpha channel to be put in *front* of the image sometimes, which is certainly not very useful. There's a chance that the image isn't being flattened, though; if that's the case, you could just open the image in an image editor and delete the alpha channel.
Apart from that, my only recommendation is try different software.
What languages are Pathfinder 2nd Editions getting printed in, and where should we go if we wanted to get a copy in one of those languages?
(I want a set of the Core Rulebook in each language it's printed in...)

For those who wish to extract images from the PDF file, may I recommend "some pdf images extract" (google it). I am using v1.5 and am on Windows 10. Fair warning it will extract everything. I had over 3000 images when I ran it against the bestiary.

Not trying to be offensive with my query, but is there any new/original in the spell/equipment/items lists?
