Pathfinder Guns & Gears

The text on Stab and Blast is unclear.

You slice or smash your opponent with the melee portion of your weapon before pulling the trigger at point-blank range. Make a melee Strike with the required weapon. If the Strike is successful, you can immediately make a ranged Strike against the same target with a +2 circumstance bonus to the attack roll. This counts as two attacks toward your multiple attack penalty, but you don't apply the multiple attack penalty until after making both attacks.

If you miss the first melee Strike, does this ability still count as two attacks towards your multiple attack penalty?

Was the goofed-up trade routes map in this ever fixed?

Any ETA on errata?

The first non-printing-based errata cycle is supposed to happen Spring of this year. I can't guarantee it'll have G&G errata, but I'd be shocked if it and SoM weren't amongst them.

No idea why they didn't follow the matching cover layout / spine art, I thought I'd ordered the wrong book.

I'm a bit disappointed it doesn't match :(

Bacause they are treating these books as "expansion packs" for the rules, not part of the "core" game. If you don't do a campaign that touch on guns, you don't need that book that much. So they made them visually different to make it clear that they are more like "optional" books.

For anyone that is thinking of getting a non-mint copy of this. I thought I would share my thoughts, this is not a true review as I am only going to talk about the non-mint condition.

The book is in great shape but one spot on the upper spine. It almost looks like it foldered the spine a bit on top of it's self. What I mean is there is a bump where the spin is thicker for the final top inch or so. The pages seem secure etc. So other than that bump it is in fine shape, so if you want it and are a budget it is worth picking up the non-mint, I picked up 3 other books and they was all in even better shape than this one and this one is in pretty good shape.

RAW Drifters have been stuck with Expert on melee attacks past level 5 for 2 years now lol

Also, I'd love a clarification on if the follow-up attacks in Chain Reaction from the Unexpected Sharpshooter archetype are affected by Multiple Attack Penalty? It feels like they should be, but also it's only "one" shot followed by a sequence of wild events, so maybe flavor beats mechanics?

The new semi-annual errata system was interrupted by the need to remaster the Core and a return is unlikely until the Player Core 2 is complete. Check in with the Pathfinder Society community for indications of rules updates.

Correct.

Out of curiosity, is this book going to be getting a "Remastered" update, or is it safe to grab?

it's getting remaster errata, but that will be added to the PDF if that's what you're grabbing. in the time being, i'd refrain on purchasing non-core books if I were you.

Guns & Gears page 148 misspells the name of the nation Lingshen as "Ling Shen".
