In the Equipment section a "lesser potion of healing" costs 3 gold, in the treasure & magical items section it costs 4 gold. Which one is right?
1 gp is not a big deal. But this is not 1st edition. I like the silver based system myself. I would use the higher of the two. I like healing to take more effort. Another idea would be see what other potions of that level cost and match it up. Wait for a second printing in order for them to fix all this stuff.
Anyone know what time it becomes available? Midnight or in the morning?

I think that I read somewhere on the board that 10:00AM Eastern US time, as that is when Gen Con opens its doors.
Just over 9 hours to go, can't wait. Like a kid on christmas eve.
So almost 9 hours for me to get the PDF. At least I get it an hour before August 2 hits...

So, Pathfinder 2 released officially on 1st August - so what other world shaking events occurred on this date?
1498 Christopher Columbus lands on "Isla Santa"
1732 Foundations laid for Bank of England
1785 Caroline Herschel becomes 1st woman to discover a comet
1834 Slavery abolished throughout the British Empire
1893 Henry Perky and William Ford patent Shredded Wheat
1933 National Recovery Administration (NRA) is founded
1944 Anne Frank's last diary entry
1953 Fidel Castro arrested in Cuba
1996 "A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin is published
Any famous Births or Deaths on this day? But of course...
Births:
1901 Pancho Villa [Francisco Guilledo] (118)
1936 Yves Saint Laurent (83)
1942 Jerry Garcia (77)
1972 D-Von Dudley (47)
Deaths:
0030BC Mark Antony, aged 53
1903 Calamity Jane [Martha Jane Canary], aged 51
So there you go, Pathfinder 2 was released the same day that we first got A Game of Thrones.
There you go, some useful(less) trivia to make your day.
Oh the pain! i am on flights all day today I was hoping to have the PDFs downloaded to I could read them on the plane. cest la vie
It sure is.
I see there is no Lite version yet, that's disappointing.
I don't know where I should report this or if it's intentional, but as of right now (7am Pacific), there's no link from the Store to the PDF.
Underneath Add PDF, there should be a clickable "(in your downloads)" once you've purchased it.
Under Product Availability, there should be another link to My Downloads.
And above the Search This Thread box on this page, there should be a Download (1) tab to click, but there's a bug that sometimes hides it in Product Discussion threads.
You can also go to My Account>Digital Content from any page.
Log out of the site and pretend you didn't know the forums existed. When you go to the website, click Store, etc - are you able to find a PDF of the CRB, or only the hard copy? I wasn't. Fortunately, I knew the forums existed and figured there'd be a direct link in here.
I'm not going to make this a capital case because, honestly, it may be intentional on Paizo's part as a business decision. And that's fine. Just wanted to point it out in case it was an oversight.
No credit card to buy from the Paizo store and apparently shipping to Europe is delayed by 1 to 4 weeks. FML

Right there. As Rysky says, they don't have separate product pages for digital and physical copies; you just click which one you want.

Unsure if there is a forum for this one yet but i am totally loving this book! I see that the grey maidens feats and pirate feats didn't make it past playtest.....
Maybe they are included in the lost omens character guide???

A 50% price increase for PF2 PDFs? Well, there goes my plan to grab the PDFs to see if the hardcovers would be worth buying and the system would be worth switching over from PF1.

One price increase of $5 in ten years doesn't seem unreasonable...

Also: look at 2e.aonprd.com/ for the official Pathfinder Reference Dokument website. All the content from the Core rulebook (mostly without art and in different order) and Bestiary (not complete yet, but will get Monster Art) is available for free online.

Why does the poor character on page 10 drown halfway through the river despite having beaten the swim DC (16)?
Why does the poor character on page 10 drown halfway through the river despite having beaten the swim DC (16)?
I don't think he drowns. I think he only made it halfway. I presume that he either would have to turn back or try a different strategy.

In which case this seems like an odd example to explain skill DCs to a beginner, readers should not have to "presume" anything. Why start with an ambivalent case where the reader doesn't know what happens halfway through?
Starting a rulebook with a rule example that already sparks a forum discussion (guilty as charged here) sets an unfortunate precedence. Besides that the example itself is odd with the critical success being necessary to complete the deed. Does this mean that beating the DC is not enough for skill checks anymore, but crits are needed for instant completition now?
This touches FAQ/errata territory, which it really should not being the very first beginner example of a rule.
But to be clear: No real negativity meant here, I am happy to see the 2nd edition out and eager to read through the book. Thanks to all parties involved for the hard work!
I agree that it is a confusing example. I'm just guessing what it means, myself..
The example seems to have incomplete data: table 4-4 on page 242 lists distances you achieve with one climb/swim action.
The example on page 10 doesn't include any distances, so it seems the river is wider than the character (we don't know it's speed either) can swim with a success, but narrower than the character can swim with a critical success.

The part about the drowning begins with "Had your result been less than 16," – I see no problem there.

Playing devil's advocate here: The problem is that the most important part of the example - simple DC success - is the one that leaves you literally hanging in the water without resolve. How is this is a good first beginner example on page 10 of a rulebook?
And even a more seasoned player (myself) wondered why the critical success was needed?! Seemingly something that is explained 232 pages later and an odd case that various players likely never encountered before. Personally I never had to make that role in years of playing PF1.
The authors have my deepest respect, but they could sport a more "educational" writing style that results in more answers than questions. I had hopes that PF2 would be more precise in writing. And maybe it is, I only just began to read. But the first rule example proved to be a stumbling block already and that does everyone an unnecessary disservice.
The Druid Spellcasting description says you start with 5 cantrips, but the spells per day chart says 4. Is that i typo?
Rule Error?
Fighter Dedication requirements list Strength 14, Dexterity 14 with a COMMA. Shouldn't this be an OR depending on which primary stat would have been chosen? The other Dedications are based on the primary stat and this feels like a high cost to buy in when a Fighter doesnt HAVE to have 14 or higher in both stats at creation. It's a choice to shouldn't that comma be an OR?

Not an error, Barbarian, Champion, and Monk also have dual stat requirements.

I see this and am asking if it is an error across the board.
Seems like a high cost to buy into a dedication.
In the beta I believe it was 16 Str or Dex
Also, it was a question for a developer, not sure you would have knowledge of what was or was not intended when it comes to errors and because of our previous encounter I wouldn't want to take what you say, or you to take what I say in any way other than the way it was intended. This was intended for someone who wrote the rules, unless you are one of those peeps and are missing the tag? Or have a link to where a dev clarified?
Thanks.
Loving all of the extra lines of flavor description in the items, hazards, and really in most everything. Much appreciated!

Please post rules questions in the Rules Questions forum.
Still on the fence about picking this up. Loving the idea that +10 or -10 also results in crit result (fun and intuitive!), not loving that there is a separate list of results for every possible action (stopping game to consult a table!).
Also, you kinda' needed three spreadsheets open to run Pathfinder combat past level 10. How unplayable does PF2 get at higher levels?

You don’t need to consult a table, the degrees of success are on each ability it’s applicable to, so you’re doing no more referencing than in 1e.
From what I’ve glimpsed combat is running a lot smoother. The rules and monster stats are up on Archives of Nethys, the official PRD if you wanna check them out :3
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? :-(
