Pathfinder 2nd edition is a lot of fun, and now it’s getting even better! Pathfinder Remastered is available for users to pre-order at a deep discount in our store today. Even better, we’re excited to announce that new users who purchase our Pathfinder Core product between now and release day will immediately unlock content for the Pathfinder Core Rulebook and Gamemastery guide, along with access to Pathfinder Player Core and Pathfinder GM Core on launch day, giving users content to play now and then!
Want to know more? Curious what happens to your non Remaster characters? One of our in-house data file folks had this to say about the upcoming release:
The primary goal in our approach is to give players and gaming groups full control over when – or even if – they adopt the Remaster content. Some groups may wish to convert immediately, while others may wish to stick with the existing books for a period of time. To accomplish this, existing characters will not automatically adopt the Remaster content when it is unlocked for your account. Instead, they will present the option to be transformed into Remaster characters, which will create a new copy of them using the Remaster content. This preserves the original CRB character while also allowing them to be reviewed as Remaster characters even if your game isn’t switching over yet.
New characters can be created using either the original CRB content OR Remaster content, with CRB characters able to be transformed into Remaster when you choose. However, once a character becomes a Remaster character, it cannot be changed back to an original CRB character – it’s a one-way trip (though the original version will still exist in your account). Likewise, the Remaster content will not be a source that can be toggled like normal books can be (Rage of Elements, for instance). A character must be created as a Remaster character or transformed into one.
Remaster characters will be able to use all existing source materials, except for content that has been replaced or obviated. There are numerous Remaster feats, spells, and other mechanics that represent a fundamental change to existing material, and the new rules will supersede the old material. In contrast, characters based upon the existing source materials will most likely not be able to use post-Remaster sourcebooks. This is still being given thought, but as those books will build upon Remaster content, there may not be a clear way to support them with pre-Remaster content. – Daniel
