On day one we can get;
Pathfinder Second Edition has been in development for over three years and received feedback from over 100,000 playtesters. Through the playtest, participants got to delve deeply into the rules, playing many sessions to test the math and the extremes of the system. While updates and changes to the rules happened throughout the playtest, we have not yet seen the final rules, but I anxiously await my chance to dig into the 640– what!– 640-page Core Rulebook. I was pleased with and enjoyed the core second edition rules, such as an action economy vastly improved over any edition since first edition D&D, and a more customizable character creation system than even Pathfinder First Edition. The Core Rulebook includes rules for six ancestries, such as human or elf, and twelve classes– the original core classes with the addition of the alchemist.
With their release line-up, you’ll be set to challenge your players for countless gaming sessions with the beginning of an adventure path– installments releasing each month after– as well as a stand-alone adventure. In addition, the Bestiary, a 360-page tome, takes your core rules page-count to 1,000 pages of material!
