Will we get an updated PDF?

[Bast L.]

Hello. I noticed in the FAQ that everything is changed (especially starship DCs), and I was wondering if the PDF is going to be updated to reflect that.

As Paizo doesn't have online rules yet, I'm just using the book for now, and the great thing about PDFs is that they can be patched when fixes go out.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but my search didn't turn anything up.

Thanks,
Bast

They only update pdfs when they update and order a new version of the hardcover book. That requires (1) the old version to have sold out, and (2) the new layout to be ready and finalized.

I have no idea how (1) is fairing given their original buy ran out and then the rushed in at least one subsequent order when they realized demand was higher than they initially dared to hope, but (2) depends on figuring out layout for the changes (nothing can slide to another page and ruin old page citations) and reaching a critical mass of FAQs. They've been surprisingly slow on the FAQs, so much that I'd still consider an updated 2nd edition a bad purchase, as they really kind of owe us more corrections and clarifications than they've provided so far.

While correct, there are already citation errors in the book in its current state. A prime example being the Envoy's Expertise Talents being cited as somewhere in the 169's when they are only three pages away from the citation on page 62 (I believe).
