Coolness, you got it all right (despite my vague description) and the changes to come/already implemented look spiffy!
I'll peruse the site some more and see if there's anything else that might be a good idea.
GentleGiant - in order to keep confusion to a minimum, if you find any other issues with the d20pfsrd.com SRD site, please post them here.
Thanks for your comments so far :)
In many places in the PRD, tables are referred to by number (e.g. Table 11-4), but the actual table numbers seem to have gone AWOL.

Hogarth, can you point me to a few places where this is happening? I thought all of them were rejiggered to use the table's name, but its a big document.

Ah, I see. Then maybe it's just a problem with the Dragon Disciple referring to Table 11-4.

In the Table "Intelligent Item Senses and Communication", the row for "Read Magic" has merged the cells together.
Fixed!
Is there a pdf version of the official prd available?
If not, will/can there be?
Thanks!
We are not planning to release a PDF of the PRD because we already offer a PDF of the core rulebook, which contains all of the same hyperlinks and rule information.

It's true that the core rulebook pdf contains the same info (and then some), and that it is offered at an excellent/affordable price.
However, the PRD has a couple benefits which the PathfinderRPG lacks (for good reason):
* the prd has no artwork - it is text and tables only
* the prd has a significantly lower page count
* the prd is comprised purely of rules only, no "fluf"
Due to the above attributes of the PRD, a pdf version would be very useful for your customers who have purchased the PathfinderRPG print book and/or pdf because:
* a pdf version of the PRD could be easily and cheaply printed - which could then be used as reference during play, and/or distributed in full or in part to the players, as an aid in character generation (it's nice when not everyone has to share the same book), and as an aid during actual play (it's nice to keep your $50 book in good condition, rather than lugging it around in backpacks, cars, and the wear-and-tear that occurs while constantly referencing it during play)
Could paizo reconsider their position on the matter?
I may post a PDF of d20pfsrd.com later tonight for anyone interested. Not promising but check the downloads page of the site later tonight and it might be there if the wife doesn't side track me with silly house work or "family" time :)
I'll see if I can turn off background images and images in general too. We'll see how it goes.

The Bless Weapon spell in the Paladin Spell List isn't linked. The page exists but the link in the Spell List is not present.
Also a lot of the internal page links are not anchored correctly. I've noticed it in all the classes and the Magic Weapons section, but they don't seem to point to the correct part of the page.
I may post a PDF of d20pfsrd.com later tonight...
I started this up last night but the PDF still needs a lot of clean up. Hopefully I can have something available tonight for anyone interested.

I was going to produce a pdf of the official PRD myself ( using wget, html2text, and asciidoc), seeing as it appears paizo has for some strange reason decided not to, even though it'd be total nobrainer for them to produce...
But this is good, thanks for your efforts - I'll d/l this the moment it's available!
In the Ranger's skill list, Heal is not hyperlinked.

Part of the problem is I am building the PDF off of the downloaded version of d20pfsrd.com, which is a Google Site, and Google mangles the source code full of google code. I am going through the pages and doing site-wide changes using Dreamweavers advanced find and replace functions (find <this block of mangled code> and replace with <nothing> in <entire site>). I am getting rid of all background colors and images etc, as well as external links (the assumption being that it should all be self-referential and not need to call out for any reason).
It's time consuming but I'm getting there. Sorry for the delay!

Yikes - sounds like quite the involved hassle.

No worries, man - I really appreciate your time and work in this. Very cool!

Sounds awesome -- I'll probably export it as a single text file for my own use (as I did with the Alpha and Beta versions).

Minor formatting issue: On the spell lists page, for a number of spells, the hyperlink does not include the first letter of the spell's name. For example:
Short list of ones I've found so far:
- Obscuring Mist
- Shield of Faith
- Wind Wall
- Righteous Might
And that's just on the Cleric spell list...

Unfortunately, that's an issue with the source material, ie, the PRD is broke so the Turbo-PRD PDF is also "broke" by extension (since I use the PRD as the source). If you go to the source you'll see that it too has the first letter ("O") not part of the hyperlink. I did not check the others but I'm sure it will be the same there as well. I could go back and fix those at some point but its pretty low on the priority list at the moment.

Um, yeah. That's what I was talking about. You'll note my first link in my post is the same as the link in your post. I thought this was a thread for the official PRD...

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It will be fixed in the next update of the PRD, which is currently slated to occur on the street date for the Bestiary.

Sorry, ignore me. My bad.
I wonder if there will be an updated complete errata doc made available at the time the PRD is updated? I want to make sure that d20pfsrd.com is in sync with the latest errata and having everything in one doc will make that job a lot easier.

I have been listing updates on the PRD Homepage.

Ok cool. Thanks Ross.
By the way, not sure if it has been reported or not, but the word (and link) to the Broken condition is missing from the PRD in the second paragraph of the "Damaging Magic Items" section and its not listed in the current errata PDF.
It says:
"Magic items, unless otherwise noted, take damage as nonmagical items of the same sort. A damaged magic item continues to function, but if it is destroyed, all its magical power is lost. Magic items that take damage in excess of half their total hit points, but not more than their total hit points, gain the [???] condition, and might not function properly (see the Appendix)."
I inserted a link to Broken in that same section on d20pfsrd.com, assuming that's what was supposed to be there.
PRD has been updated. I'm sure there are errors, please report them here.

Dang -- no monster section yet. You got my hopes up for nothing! :-)
EDIT: Forgot to clear my cache! WOOT!!
On this page: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/monsters/monsterAdvancement.html
...the table "Table: Monsters with Class Levels" is empty; it's just a header. Also, it's referred to as "Table 2-4" elsewhere on the page.
The table content under Universal Monster Rules that is titled Natural Attacks by Size doesn't jive with the table headers.
Cockatrice stat block seems to be missing.
The Monster Cohorts table located under Monster Cohorts is missing table headers.
Greensting Scorpion is misspelled on the Variant Monster table under the Variant Monster Index.
The average CR for the monsters in all of the encounter tables under Encounter Tables is missing (there are some numbers appearing in random locations, but they appear to be page numbers). Also, the Forest (Temperate Forest) CR 5 table and the Ocean CR 8 table have some formatting issues.

There's a problem with the ability chart for the half-celestial. With the exception of four of the bars, the others are all jumbled together, and sharing the same space. The same goes for the half-fiend.
Also for half-dragon, their breath weapon chart is there, but it doesn't give any variety on the breath weapons themselves.

Vampire template is inconsistent. Creating a vampire causes the CR of the creature to increase by +2, yet a lvl 8 human sorcerer is CR 9? How is that possible?Because in PF, the CR of a human with PC class levels is (lvl -1), so a lvl 8 sorcerer is CR 7, +2 for a vampire = CR 9.
Well that explains the lycanthrope template as well.
PRD has been updated.

I think there's an error in the ooze subtype entry, for acid says that if the acid would damage armor the damage is 10+half hit die+con, but looking at all the oozes that deal damage like the grey ooze and the black pudding they just deal the acid damage of their attack say 1d6 for grey ooze. My question is, is the entry for the ooze subtype supposed to be the formula for the Reflex save against the damage? Otherwise the Grey oozes damage is way off, it only deals 12 damage when it should deal 20 damage per round. Actually the black pudding is correct, but then there's no formula for the reflex saves against the grapple at all so is that made up for each monster because it seems to be the same formula for the black pudding and grey ooze, but the ooze subtype entry doesn't mention one at all?

That's more of a general-purpose errata-type question for the editorial staff, assuming it matches the PDF and printed book.

I wouldn't know I don't have the book or PDF yet. Also I edited the above line after you responded I don't know if you saw.
Monsters By CR - the Drow Noble doesn't have its own link.
Drow - under Drow Noble Characters' spell-like abilities, deeper darkness links to the darkness spell. (In the stat block below, deeper darkness is correctly linked.)
Kobolds have sling damage listed as 1d3, while it should be 1d3-1 due to their str penalty.
Few hyperlinking issues I'm noticing,
Incorporeal creatures such as the spectre incorporeal subtype and incorporeal ability both point to incorporeal subtype, the incorporeal ability should point to the glossary.
I'm noticing a number of creatures particularly templates such as the half-dragon and zombie have page references to p 302 for natural attacks for description of natural attacks, this is great if you don't mind opening the PDF/hard copy but it's not useful for the site, could these instances link to the appropriate table (which I can't locate on the site.)
I'll also add a vote for searchability
Keep up the good work folks!
