Pathfinder SRD?

[SteveMND]

I apologize if I'm missing the obvious, but I checked the Paizo site as best I could, and didn't see anything like an System Resource Document available.

Is there such a beast for Pathfinder? I'm not even sure, given the way to Pathfinder system is founded on the old Wizards OGL, if that would even exist in the first place, or if so, in what form it would be.

When playing Living Greyhawk, I used MSWord to create little summoned monster sheets that had all the creature's stats, adjusted for feats, etc., using the SRD as a base. I'd like to do that again, but there's no way I'm going to type all those stats in manually. :-)

Does anyone know which of these is updated more frequently? I haven't seen any discrepancies between the two documents, but if there were, does anyone know which one would be the one to go with?

They are the same site--http://paizo.com/prd/ redirects to http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/

You can find an excellent fan-built site as well at the [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/Homed20PFSRD[/url].

Thanks everyone. That answers my question.

PRD - Official.
SRD - Fan Built.

If I understand correctly.

Thanks again.

Does anyone know which of these documents is updated more frequently? I haven't noticed any differences between them so far, but if discrepancies do appear, which one should be considered the authoritative version?

Neither are updated any more as Pf1 is done. There are discrepancies, I've personally found 3 or 4. When that happens the AON (Articles of Nethys) is the definitive source.

see PF1 Rules Thread 'Sticky', 2022 as the above is an old thread
FYI
• AoN - classes page is the PF1 online Rules Document. You get exact text here though rarely some text is absent. The search function is okay, requires correct & exact spelling, and is linked to section headers and most text.
• The FAQs are the errata/other half of RAW.

PF1 Rules search order
1) AoN search
2) FAQs (click Help on website main page) or use customize google search enter "site:https://paizo.com/paizo/faq "{phrase you are looking for}
3) PFS FAQs are netted by 2 above. Note: PFS offers some GM guidance using Additional Resources and Campaign Clarifications which are best downloaded and searched.
4) d20PFSRD (sometimes the text is edited)

• old designer posts from about 2009-2013, these are not RAW but good & experienced GM guidance.

• AoN legacy doc an old PRD which was superseded.

• Lone Wolf's Hero Lab, it is not RAW. It is usually accurate and pretty darn good but does have a few conflicts.

• d20PFSRD is a business site (not RAW) that relies on many community use documents with some editing. It uses google search which is faster and flexible. The layout is more comprehensive and readable.

• PathfinderWiki which is a community use project documenting Golarion Lore and many Paizo products.
