Pathfinder Howl of the Wild

I keep refreshing this page, but it does not seem to speed us to May 22nd at all!

A dragon with even a few of the Winged Warrior abilities is absolutely terrifying!

“I invite you to visit Droon!”

*punching ground*

I want to! I WANT TO SO BAD!

I'm really hoping that the droon teasers in this are bread crumbs for a soon-to-be-announced southern garund lost omens book, its a region of the world we've really never explored in anything 1e or 2e. We know more about Akiton than we do about southern garund lol

Argh, why are shipment tracking links STILL broken?

Will there be a sketch cover?

Dunno if you know if this has been answered, or if you found out yourself, but I see on GameNerdz there is a pre-order for the sketch style cover.

I didn't see an answer to this on the rest of this thread.

On page 151… the Concert Frog’s melee attack damage is listed as “2d11+11”. That’s a typo right? Should it be “2d12+11” ? Do I need a bespoke d11?

Reroll any 12s :D

Should it be d10 or d12?

Guess it could go either way.

We actually have names and tidbits about... I think it was either 12 or 14 nations in Southern Garund, the last time I counted! Would love to see it get some actual spotlight, though.

It's to hit is Moderate for a level 8 creature, can be bumped to a hair under high with it's conduct ability. High Strike damage for a level 8 creature is 2d10+11(22), extreme is 2d12+15(28).

If the damage is 2d10+11 that is right on track with high Strike damage, and it bumps to 2d10+11+1d4 (25) so below extreme damage. Whereas if it is 2d12+11 the average is 24 and 27 respectively. I think it more likely it has high damage than extreme.

TLDR; probably should be d10s.

Excellent deduction!

Agreed. My count is 10--Chauxen, Dehrukani, Droon, Eihlona, Ekkeshikaar, Holomog, Nurvatcha, Tirakawhan, Kaz'ulu (3 city-states), and Murraseth (first among equals in a loose alliance of 4 city-states). So arguably up to 15 if you count the nearby city-states separately.

Got my physical copy. The inside cover isn't blank, It's an artistic interpretation of the world of Golarian! all continents!

definitely a reason to get the physical copy!

This book already got some errata as of today, including some changes to the minotaur's Stretching Reach feat (which was intended to work similarly to a stance), the witch’s murmuration cantrip damage, and the supramarine chair’s movement, as well as a couple other points of errata.

Do Athamaru correspond to Sahaugin or Koa Toa? Or neither?

Neither because they used to be locathah and sahuagin/sea devils are nowadays called... What was it again? I haven't gotten used to sahuagins' new name yet.

Oh! I think I know this one. Do you mean the sedacthys?

I just received my physical copy. The first thing I noticed is that the pages feel thinner than he previous books.

Does anyone else feel that way?

Starting from Lost Omens Tian Xia World Guide, they switched to a FSC-certified "ecologically sourced" paper source. So yeah, they couldn't get exactly the same feel of paper. You can see the logo on the ORC/credit page at the end, at the bottom.

This book already got some errata as of today,

Am I the only one who thinks it a bit weird to get the first errata almost a week before the official release date?

It got errata today because they wanted the Spring/Summer errata cycle for this year to happen before PaizoCon this weekend, and they knew there was some Day 1 errata they could squeeze into here, too. Day 1 errata for some books isn't unheard of (Player/GM Core and Dark Archive managed it).

Also, it take a couple month after sending the files to the printer before they get the printed books, in that time, it's possible they could see mistakes while it's too late to stop the printing process to fix, thus needing errata.

Anyone know what time (and timezone) the PDF actually releases?

It's Wednesday the 22nd for me! But clearly I'm in the wrong timezone.

Paizo is on the west coast, so in the PT timezone, and I often joke they are in the Paizo Time timezone instead of Pacific Time. xD

So in 4 hours and an half, at the very earliest, at the time of writing this.

I believe the PDFs are unlocked manually when the Paizo staff enters the office. I think they open at 10:00 am Pacific Time.

I hope that's not the case.

it's available now!

The beliefs section of the Minotaurs doesn't even mention Baphomet, who was their patron god in PF1.

I guess the Worldwound being closed and the Templars of the Ivory Labyrinth being routed means he can't really influence them anymore.

Here's the link to the reason for this (by James Jacobs):

(Also, Baphomet is officially still around in Pathfinder 2E, though he may be very dead in some home games...)

Carry on,

Baphomet is being shifted away from being a minotaur 'OGLism'.

That's fair, but my explanation still works for an in-universe handwave

it's available now!

i believe it's midnight in Paizo time rn

It was 12:02 am, Eastern time.

I don't think Paizo has an office for people to go to any more (though they may still be transitioning to all work from home (except the warehouse, of course)).

I do think it's likely. When this book (or more specifically the premise of the book) got announced, it struck me as foreshadowing Droon. Flipping through the PDF though... I really think Iblydos is coming next. There is a lot of riffing of Ancient Greece, both ancestry and bestiary wise. And it also does some work setting up High Seas/Ruins of Azlant sequel with all the aquatic stuff too. Though I suspect that is a bit further on the horizon.

What's up with the PDF being so large? 230-ish MB is way more than normal.

I am not looking forward for reduced-size PDF, because recently it meant the quality of images in files got worse.

Thank you!

If I am reading the PFS2E information correctly, everything is legal except for a few things. Have the boon point costs be updated? I checked yesterday afternoon and did not see anything.

This book was so lovely!

I think my favorite part was how much the crew members would talk about each other in their anecdotes. Got their point across, but also made it a more immersive reading experience. Like I was reading an actual travelogue instead of a rulebook.

Concert frog! And now I have McCartney's frog chorus stuck in my head. Bom bom bom aii-aii-a.

My lokal store can order a sketch cover of this book. Was that announced somewhere?

Thanks, but that is from another customer, I was thinking more in the line of something official from Paizo.

There's also this post from Aaron back in December
