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 was speaking to the Subscriber benefits themselves.

Yeah Im aware for pre-orders and thats completely understood. Presumably the appropriate subscriptions will still include the free pdf Getting this via a pre-order vs getting this via the pathfinder subscription are not the same thing. Lets hope they keep it the way it is.Īre you referring to not getting a pdf with the pre-order? I think that has always been the case. I want to support Paizo and I want to sub but without a PDF the value simply isnt there with the shipping costs. The pdfs are the only thing that currently makes Subscribing worth it.

So I can't give this any less than a full rating.

And much of my happiness with its structure, rules, and concepts are found right here in the core rulebook, as makes sense. I couldn't be happier with the game, in honesty. but let's be honest, that's frankly inevitable, especially in a game this size. Some classes feel a bit more well-rounded and fleshed out than others, and same with ancestries. Some of the layout is a bit wonky, especially in regards to focus spells and magic/crafted/alchemical items. And the options! Obviously it doesn't have the breadth of its first edition predecessor, but I don't find that to be a reasonable strike against it.

Modular multiclassing has its upsides and downsides, but in the long run I feel it's been working very well. Single-enemy encounters are able to be intense and interesting. Personally, I came from the D&D side, not the first edition Pathfinder, so this to me represents a massive improvement in so many ways. Systems work for those they work for, but for myself and the dozen or more players I've run through in a range from quick scenarios to current ongoing adventure paths, this is a terrific way to game. I don't suppose this needs to be a review of Pathfinder 2e as a system, necessarily. But don't take that to mean that the core game is insufficient or weak. Reading through this book, it feels pretty clear that this game is designed to grow and expand and evolve over the course of its lifetime.
