My current count is that there are a smidge over 400 monsters within the 2nd Edition Bestiary.

Flanking makes a creature flat-footed to you.

We threw around a lot of terms. In the end, we went with open as in the opening of your attack and its sister term, press, which must be used after you have already used an attack action that turn (including an open). So far we haven't seen any confusion with this terminology, but of course, we...

That may be what it looks like to you on paper, but this is not what happens in actual play. In fact, the last event I was running demos for (a retailer thing in Chicago) the comments over and over again is how the play is more flexible and cinematic. Folks were amazed at how much movement was...

Yeah, I'm always puzzled by folks who tell me "it looks like 5e." I like 5e. Some of my best friends made 5e. P2 is not 5e. It's a very different approach to some of the same issues.

Lately, I've been doing an overview of triggers in the playtest version of the game, and I have the same note in my spreadsheet. Don't be suprised if this gets changed in the final version. Stephen Pathfinder RPG Senior Designer and map guy

I could point out that all games are different forms of resource management, but that's an academic or philosophical point. We are trying to limit the abundance of different types of long-term resource management that was often all over the play in P1. Resonance has a lot to do with that...

It has bearing on the stats and it's where Fumbus's two lore skills come from.

This is not the final character sheet. It's just something that we are using for demos and tailored to each character.

This is an effect of our take on ancestries and 0-level characters. Unlike older editions, you gain Hit Points for you ancestry not just for your class and when you level. So, for instance, the gnome baker living in town might have 8 Hit Points, while the 1st-level gnome rogue you just met at...

Not needed for the demo. Alignment is still in the game (even though I think it is somewhere between dumb or not entirely doing its job right...yet again, opinions vary).

While we do you Wayne for the covers of all our hardback core books, he is not the only artist that we use. In fact, if you take all of the gaming product we produce for Pathfinder (adventures, adventure path volumes, Pathfinder Setting books, Player Companions, novels, comics, and so on), Wayne...

Turns out we (and myself personally) really like Wayne as a person and love his art. And we are not alone. I've met many a new player who fell in love with Wayne's artwork due to Pathfinder. But, you know, opinions vary. Stephen Pathfinder RPG Senior Designer and map guy.

Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed your taste of the Playtest rules.

No worries. I guess I sorta look at it a different way. RPGs have generational bands of audiences. Two of the most excitable bands, which I'll call the older, nostalgia band and the younger-trending band) don't have the patience of some of the rigamarole and cruft sometimes intrinsic within the...

Wow, I wouldn't say it is dwindling nor are we not able to attract new players. We still run the largest RPG hall at Gen Con, our organized play numbers and sales numbers are strong, and the Beginner Box has been reprinted a number of times. The Humble Bundle offer of PDFs and the Beginner box...

Three months until the release of the playtest document. We have a lot more time when it comes to the finished project and more than enough time to make substantive changes. Stephen Radney-MacFarland Senior Game Designer Paizo, Inc.
