The vast majority of the book is fluff. It's information on the setting and not rules specific.
The rules that ARE in it however, feats, PrCs, etc are either fine to use or easily converted. In fact most of the stuff in it is legal in the Organized Play which uses the PFRPG rules.
Don't know how much will be updated, but the Pathfinder PrC is updated in the core rule book.

I guess at this point I will wait and see. The book looked good and the setting interesting. Yet I rather not buy it and find out that Paizo will release an updated one.
They've said elsewhere they won't be releasing an updated one until they need to reprint (which means once all the old ones sell out) and they've still got plenty left.
Can someone give some clarity, to the notation of the fighter class (only) in the Campiagn book.
With the extra bonus modifer for skills at 1st level (if going to a guild/school for training), does it mean, is that feature is still applieable.
Besides what is stated (concerning fighters only) in the Pathfinder Core Book now?
Thanks.

I can clarify that to absolute clarity: Nothing has changed. Just like before, you should check with your GM on whether you can use this.
Personally, I'd allow it. I allowed it then and I will allow it in the future.
Thank ypu for yoir input.
I put an order in for this book on Amazon over a week ago and it's estimated delivery time is October 13th. It said the book was available but why the wait? I'll get the Bestiary before this book arrives according to the pre-order. I wonder if it is due to a reprint or something.

If you want to play in Golarion, go buy it. It's a good book and there won't be an updated version for years (it's mostly fluff and what's crunch, can be converted with little or no trouble).

So I see it has been some years from the time this was discussed and I have heard from some others about the use of this book. The question still remains though. Is it still viable? My GM still allows it, but I would like to get some feedback from others.
That is some impressive thread necro.
Almost all the stuff worth using has been updated in the Inner Seas World Guide, so that would be the place to look.
There are still the slight updates for the Classes in the original that didn't make the cut into the new book. I really like the fact if a fighter gives up his first feat he gains many more skill points and some more skills. To me this really helps the fighter to be a little more than just a meat shield. It helps him to actually carry on a conversation on a different INT lvl than "I hit it with a rock". Just some of what I miss from the first book.
Pathfinder having reduced the number of skills and given the favoured class skill point carrot makes those sort of things less necessary.
But if you want a more skill focused fighter (without going ranger) and you have a GM that will let you use it, then that is all good.
