You guys are awesome. It is unlikely my APG will arrive in time for Gencon, so this thread is a lifeline towards making timely adjustments in exploiting the 1,000 options therein.
My next question is pretty specific about the Beastmaster archetype.
What are the specific Prerequisites for the dedication feat? What does the dedication feat provide as a baseline? If you already have the Animal Companion feat, do you get to retrain it? Is there support for character who don't want to juggle multiple companions?

If you have any questions regarding the APG I am available to answer. I am currently more knowledgeable on the topics of Witches. So I can answer those fairly easily.
I do work a 10 hour night shift Monday through Friday. So it may take a bit before I can respond.
Please send any inquiries to me via private message on here as I'll be able to locate them easier. Any questions are viable.
is there multiple ancestry choices for Changeling hags like there are multiple choices for aasimar?

Yep, we get Brine, Callow, Dream, and Slag May.

Okay I never thought I'd like Oracles until I read about them at the spoiler sites. The idea of having a Scaling Curse to Manage / Mitigate in exchange for Proportional Power actually sounds like a lot of fun!
That said, information on all Mysteries but Ancestors is basically available.
What do the Revelation Spells for this Mystery do?:
1) Ancestral Touch
2) Ancestral Defense
3) Ancestral Form

Ok, next question. Let's say I have a character committed to using a Crossbow. Which of the following archetypes would best support that character, either by directly supporting with base abilities / feats that advance crossbow speed / damage, or, indirectly support with base abilities / feats that support ranged combat?
1) Archer
2) Bounty Hunter
3) Poisoner
Cheers.

Right off - Poisoner gives some alchemical abilities, and helps with some melee range attacks, but has nothing that will help a crossbow user.
Bounty Hunter - gives the "Hunt Prey" ability from a ranger, but after that it's tracking and posse things. Not much crossbow help
Archer - almost everything refers to weapons from the "Bow" group, which includes most crossbows. Adding crit effects if your expert trained, profenciency in advanced bows, good stuff. Best is "Crossbow Terror" level 6, which adds +2 damage AND increases the damage die is the crossbow is a simple weapon. "Archer's Aim (8) let's you do a 2 action shot at +2, ignoring concealment and reducing the flat check from hidden. So of the 3, it's no contest.

What level is Verdant Seed?
I can't find any ability called "Verdant Seed" - I think you're thinking of "Verdant Weapon", which is a level 1 Druid feat, that let's you create a verdant seed which you can transform into a weapon and back to a seed as an action.

Prereq is simple - trained in Nature.
The dedication gets you the animal companion feat. If you already have that feat, with this you can get a second animal companion. How that works, though, is you only have one companion with you at a time during encounters, the other is assumed to be close by, foraging for food or something. You can spend 1 minute doing the "Call Companion" activity to swap out which you have with you. So you're never juggling multiples during one combat.

Do the new rogue rackets get feats offering special debilitations at level 10 like the original rackets? And if so, are they sweet?
Eldritch Debilitations, adding a stupify effect or inability to step to your choices on debilitating strike
Methodical debilitations, adding the option to make the enemy not able to flank, or not gain advantage from cover or shields
And, as a bonus, bloody debilitation, level 12, to any rogue trained in medicine. where you choose to add 3d6 persistant bleed damage to a debilitating strike

I got my APG this morning and I'm VERY disappointed in all of you for not telling me that Merisiel and Kyra got married on page 243.
Today's question has to deal with my unfortunately boringly favorite ancestry: Humans. What do the other three feats do?
1) Bounce Back
2) Group Aid
3) Sense AlliesBonus Question: What about Half-elf's Earned Glory? (We know Pinch Time is Haste 1/day...). Also, any Half-Orc feats?
Bounce Back: 1/day you don't increase the wounded condition due to losing the dying condition
Group Aid: After you Aid an ally at a skill check that doesn’t have the attack trait, you can also Aid any other ally who attempts the same skill check for the same purpose that round.
Sense Allies: Allies within 60 feet of you that would be undetected are hidden instead. The flat check to target these willing, hidden allies is 5 instead of 11
Earned Glory: Trained in Performance + Impressive Performance feat + can't critically fail make an impression

Are there any new 1st or 2nd level Sorcerer class feats in the APG? If yes, can someone with the book or pdf let me know what they are? Many thanks!
There are!
Ancestral Blood Magic (1) - you gain the blood magic effect when casting non-cantrip spells that come from an ancestry or heritage
Anoint ally (2) - let's you give a blood magic effect to an ally
Entreat with Forebears (2) - gives a bonus on social checks with creatures that share your bloodline trait, as well as bonuses to perception and saves against them.

I'm glad to help, and it gives me an excuse to read up on different chunks of new rules!

Just downloaded my copy as well. Anyone else notice that the top half of the sword is missing from the overlaid elven(?) swashbuckler(?) art on the 2nd page of the Table of Contents?
It's a short sword. :-)

they should show they queue for shipping when your order is pending and maybe show the approximate time for your order to be approved.
I dunno, that may be harder to do than you think.

Honestly that probably would be a disaster. You'd most likely end up with a bunch of impatient people continuing to whine but now with information to try and micromanage. I could imagine the warehouse crew have an emergency or a meeting and somebody scream their head off on the forum because their shipment didn't go out when they expected.

There have certainly been episodes over the years when people tried to calculate how many packages the warehouse crew "should" be sending out each day that translated into (imo) an eye-watering and soul-destroying pace.
I'd personally like to see it, but you're probably right - Paizo would have some event that threw things off and there'd be a sudden flurry of CS queries about "how come I was 312th in line and now I'm 405th?"

They started the authorisations on the 9th and it spilled over into the 10th.
Ah explains it though i am surprised a bit sounds to me like manual interactions are necessary there instead of fully automatic algorithms (surprise and curiosity......programmer and automatism fan at hearth :D )

It is automated (they set it to run overnight, generally) though it also often stalls and needs to be restarted.
