*Many thanks to Jiggy for help compiling the below clarifications*

With the new rule in Guide 4.2 about messageboard clarifications being binding, and with some folks feeling burdened with the need for awareness (despite board-delving not being a requirement), here is a handy reference guide to message board clarifications.

If there are other clarifications you feel need to be added here, please PM me, or email me at mike.brock@paizo.com for inclusion of those clarifications.

Thanks!
