Thiscomprehensive 640-page guide to the Pathfinder roleplaying game provides everything you need to set out into a world of limitless fantasy adventure! Choose from ancestries like elf, human, and goblin and classes like alchemist, fighter, and sorcerer to create a hero of your own design, destined to become a legend! The new Pathfinder rules are easier to learn and faster to play, and they offer deeper customization than ever before!

Monsters in PF2 are improved and have unique abilities. It helps to make fights different from each other and interesting. The math around PF2 also makes it very easy to build encounters of various difficulties, which is great for homebrew GMs.


Most players will appreciate how easy it is to make a character that has meaningful choices at every level. PF2 should be popular with D&D 5E players that want less generic characters. However, some players in Pathfinder 1 liked to spend hours on their character, looking through splatbooks, looking for ways to make the ultimate character. For these players, they might not like the simplicity of PF2.


You do not get a PDF with the print edition preorder. They must be purchased separately.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now to wait for the Tax Return :) AUC.register('auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay'); AjaxBusy.register('masked', 'busy', 'auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay', null, null) tomeric Mar 6, 2019, 02:50 pm Just to make sure. It looks like my current Pathfinder 1E subscription will automatically migrate to 2E and I don't have to separately preorder this or wait until other subscriptions become available?


I'm sorry, I've not preordered anything before on Paizo. Does it mean if you preorder, those orders are shipped out to customers on the 8th? Or is that just when you have inventory? Reason why I ask is the August 1st date.


The FAQ says if you start with the core rulebook you'll get both.

There are two others (NG, CG) included in the Core Rulebook, and one presumes we might do still others in the future.


Just to clarify, will this be a hardcover? I'd assume so, since that seems to be standard operating procedure for flagship books, but the Deluxe Edition explicitly says hardcover and this one does not.


Side note, if we have the subscription, will we get the pdf with the book through that? (and I'm sorry if someone's already asked this and it's been answered.)

Seoni and Valeros were kicked off the cover? I think they need to speak to their agents to get better billing. A bit surprised Fumbus isn't there to show off the new kid. But Merisiel sneaking in is expected. I do like the art, but I expected to. It's a Wayne Reynolds piece after all. Has definite callbacks to the PF1 cover, but also shows that it's new.


also if you are a subscriber currently (and plan to rollover) will there be an option to get the limited edition versions? We are still finalizing details on subscription benefits for all these lines, so for the time being we don't have an answer to this questions. Please stay tuned. We'll definitely make sure the benefits are clear well before August.


Thats the plan now AUC.register('auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay'); AjaxBusy.register('masked', 'busy', 'auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay', null, null) Boz Gezgin Mar 6, 2019, 11:29 pm When pdf's will become available ? and what will be the prices ? asking for the folk who genarly uses digital content and not have money to buy everything in hard cover ^^'

I'm not the biggest fan of the playtest, but I've got my fingers crossed for this. Eagerly waiting for details. Kyra, Merisiel, and Harsk? That combo makes sense; NG, CN, and LN. They could perhaps have subbed Sajan for Harsk, but using a dwarf makes more sense than another human.I like the expanded book length. Every bit of playtest errata was an improvement, and I am very curious to see the final product.


Hmm I want to subscribe but I buy the books primarily to collect and use the PDFs because I primarily game through virtual table top. The pdfs are the only thing that currently makes Subscribing worth it. Im curious why they would change that. I want to support Paizo and I want to sub but without a PDF the value simply isnt there with the shipping costs. Lets hope they keep it the way it is.


Are you referring to not getting a pdf with the pre-order? I think that has always been the case. Getting this via a pre-order vs getting this via the pathfinder subscription are not the same thing.Presumably the appropriate subscriptions will still include the free pdf


Paizo folks, correct me if I am wrong. Yeah Im aware for pre-orders and thats completely understood. I was speaking to the Subscriber benefits themselves. They are apparently still being hammered out so I was simply voicing my concern and support for the free pdf remaining as a benefit to subscribing. I will probably order a few separate copies and was planing on subbing as well will wait to see what the benefits end up being.

Pathfinder Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Rulebook Subscriber Question, it says pre-order expected July so is that when the pre-order ends or is that when we can expect delivery?


Paizo folks, correct me if I am wrong. It looks like no change there. The RPG Rulebook Subscription page states that a free PDF is included, AND it also says that both the PF2e Core Rulebook and Bestiary will be part of the subscription.


I think that they've been ambushed by the dragon, and are just turning to face it.

They'll most likely be shipping inhouse this time, so yes.

Looks like this will be shipped like all their other products. The Playtest was an attempt to make sure everyone got their playtest materials on the same date; it backfired.

It is frustrating that they aren't including the pdf with physical purchases though.


I like the new Pathfinder logo!

It's less elaborate, but clearer, more legible. I like the sandy texture, the colour combination better and I like the subtle shine towards the middle, I think it conveys the idea of being a guiding light ("path finder").

Well done!


My only problem with the cover is the red dragon's appearance. This is not how they are supposed to look in Pathfinder. I miss the spikes that makes their wings do piercing damage, and they have no horn melee attacks, as they have no horns (playtest).


Mission Profiles are the same in execution but there are plenty of changes for Klingon ships. The Scientific and Survey Operations and the Strategic and Diplomatic Operations profiles are almost identical with a few tweaks (mostly more combat). The Crisis Response and Interception, the Multirole Battlecruiser, and the Intelligence and Reconnaissance Operations profiles are a little more adjusted from their Federation counterparts (which should be easy to match up) but familiar. The Warship profile is the equivalent of Tactical Operations and is all-out combat. Lastly, the House Guard profile is a really cool option that makes for a very defensive ship, the type of older design maintained by a House to defend their holdings and demonstrate strength.


Gamemaster rules are similar to above, the same mechanically but with some helpful clarifications, and there are guidelines for creating Notable and Major NPCs as well as NPC special rules. In terms of provided NPCs, then, there are the Starfleet, Romulan, Cardassian, Ferengi, Dominion, and Borg statblocks from the original core rulebook are there as well as some new beasts such as the Denevan neural parasite, glommer, Talarian hook spiders, Tribbles (!), mugatos, sehlat, Berengarian dragons, and (of course) targs.
