As an aside, massively weird question about one of the cards........ Card 30, it says "Whenever your proficiency rank for simple weapons increases, your proficiency rank for unarmed attacks increases to the same rank unless it’s already better." I thought unarmed attacks were already "simple" weapons, so they'd already keep pace unless stated otherwise (like with a Monk, who gains extra proficiency with unarmed ALONE). So I don't understand why they have to point out unarmed keep pace, unless unarmed are no longer "simple" weapons, and now their own thing...

I think it's because technically the only "unarmed" attack on the weapons table is Fist (which is indeed a simple weapon). Other unarmed attacks you could get from Heritage, Monk, Barbarian, spells, or spell powers were all technically different weapons with their own damage and traits which were typically not specified as simple or martial weapons. Which was a weird quirk in the Playtest, nice to see that's sorted now. XD

It could be as a note for clarity. Unarmed was usually in a weird place previously, even for always being in the Simple Weapons chart. For me it’s nice to see since i’ve Always been of the mind that a fighter should be able to throw a good punch or kick if needed, but i’ve Had a DM argue with me that i can’t cause i’m ‘Not a monk, and that’s a thing only monks can do’.

I can see a fighter throwing an accurate punch, but it not having as much power behind it as a monk's would, since they've trained exact muscle groups to make punches hurt like an SoB, and monk's have to worry about hitting soft spots, whereas fighters just generically swing a blade around and if it hits, it hits. But yeah, "monks are the only ones who can punch" is dumb, since most classical knights actually did go through some semblance of HtH training in case of the unfortunate incident they got disarmed.

Even in the Playtest Fighters did get upgraded proficiency in Fist since it is a simple weapon, so they could at least throw punches effectively (if they have magical handwraps ;P ) though they would still be Nonlethal damage.

My bet is that they're no longer Simple Weapons. Could be all sorts of other explanations, though.

^ Hmm, that probably is simplest explanation, although I can't really believe basic punching isn't Simple weapon. I think being a catch-all for variant Unarmed attacks which are Uncommon Martial / Exotic as Edge93 suggested has systemic justification. (and I agree that hopefully all those do get proper classification whatever it may be, it's too weird not having any) Incidentally, I think the "Monks can use Uncommon Unarmed weapons distinct from basic Punch" was great direction for better distinguishing "what Monks do" from "what anybody in a bar fight does".

Folks, let's use another thread for actual discussion of the reveals.
That's what they are doing. LOOK at the post quoted. "Card 30, it says". That REALLY looks like they are having a "discussion of the reveals" when they talk about the implications of the wording of a spoiler card.

Quandary |

^ Not as personal attack, but IMHO it's clearer and less conflictive to just say "I think this discussion is on topic because XYZ" instead of "That's what they are doing. LOOK... REALLY..." etc. Same outcome in terms of info that will ultimately be agreed/disagreed with, less extraneous conflict framing that can detract from reception of the info. Not that people can't still take conflictive approach, but not invoking it where it doesn't need to exist seems nicer forum environment. IMHO.
Personally it seems subjective whether this thread is ideally for discussing the reveals in detail, or just discussing the process of reveals in general, I don't have preference.

The staff have suggested using other threads for this, in this thread. Sara Marie, and I believe Jason also did.
On topic: happy to come back to 99 cards found! Almost there and a few days left!
Edit: See here

Quandary: I used caps as the posts literally mentioned the card in question: #30. As such, the only reason to complain about them is to not have actually looked through the posts.
If it was about actual reveals vs reveal details, the post failed to point this out. It should have been much clearer if that was his point.
GospodinSneg: Yep, she suggested a best course, not what was allowed or forbidden. I took it to mean any extended debate is best in it's own thread but I don't count 3-4 posts an extended debate.

Given she seems to be one of the people in charge of removing inappropriate or combative posts, extensive derailings in certain circumstances, etc., that "suggesting a best course of action" is possibly more a nice way of telling than suggesting. And either way it seems a little silly to say "Well we don't need to do that because it was a suggestion of the best thing to do, not an actual order". It's a little too hair-splitty about specific phrasing in a comment where she was likely being nice about telling us to keep the thread focused, and it's kinda rude to be hair-splitty like that. The "Well you didn't actually TELL us to..." attitude doesn't really help anything.

Good morning everybody! 4 days left, and only 85 left :D
I know the Paizo Twitter account posted and since we've gotten down to this last one. Hopefully in the next couple days we get that one final person who throws 85 up for us.
I watched the video finally where the cards were handed out. I didn't know attendees were actually told about this thread beforehand. Hopefully somebody is just holding out to be the hero of the day.

Wait, what? Did someone at Paizo just know there was going to be a thread? Because I didn't make the thread until after I heard about the cards, and it took me a little while because the Paizo forums were down temporarily. XD

Jason stated "If there is a thread on the forums with all the cards, I will do the super spoiler", so he kinda demanded we make a thread if we wanted the super spoils

Jason basically said "Collect all 100 spoilers on our forums until I'm back in the office and I'll drop another 100."

Oh yeah, that. I thought he meant this specific thread, that's why I was confused. XD

Aww... sure would be a shame to miss out on getting a whole bunch of additional spoilers because of one missing card.
<<Goes back to paging through the Pathfinder Second Edition Core Rulebook>> So much good stuff in here...
(To be 100% clear, I promised I would put up a big spoiler if all 100 were found by the time I'm back in the office on Monday, not 100 additional spoilers, and i should note it will probably take me a few days to get it pulled together if you all succeed)
And yes... I'm sticking to it. If you are even 1 short, you will have to wait for our more traditional reveals for more info.

Technically speaking, I will point out. Jason would be sticking to his guns, even if someone who was tagged as [Paizo Employee Jason Bulmahn Director of Game Design] happened to post card number 85, in this thread.
The important part sounded like it was that they all showed up in a single thread. Not where they came from specifically. So as long as #85 shows up here from someone with access to it...
You know...
Looking around expectantly.

Honus Wagner is an American Baseball player that has the odd distinction of being the most valuable baseball card in existence.

Yup. As I recall, Honus didn't like kids buying smokes to get his card so he put the kibosh on their distribution. Only a few dozen were ever made as opposed to the tens of thousands others had.
Anyone dropping in, we're still looking for #85.
