Player Core 2 Compendium

[ShadeRaven]

Starting a thread here to discuss all that is coming with the Player Core 2. It'll also be a good place to report issues you may cross, suggestions to improve its functionality, and simply seek information and advice.

The Player Core 2 has a lot of offerings within its many pages, from new Ancestries to New Classes; from new Spells to New Items. A lot is in it to be discovered. It truly is a core rulebook to expand on what a player character has at their fingertips. With all that comes a lot of new automation which will be an ongoing process, so keep an eye out for anything that looks incomplete or needing updating - the intent is to always have everything ready from day one, but it is simply such a huge panorama of possibilities, I am sure we didn't catch it all. Thanks!

More to come!

Current known issues:

Liking the module so far. One thing I have come across is with the Chargen Tracker.

The "Anc." button in the "Feat quick filters" does not bring up any ancestry feats for the Hobgoblin ancestry. It might be using an incorrect string to match.
Opening up the Feats window and select the trait "Hobgoblin" does filter to the correct feats.

One thing to note is that I have the "Pathfinder Lost Omens Ancestry Guide" loaded as well. I doubt this has anything to do with it, but just noting it and that the feats window shows the feats for both. The Chargen Tracker shows none. This leads me to believe the filter string in the Chargen Track may be wrong for the Hobgoblin.

Thanks for letting us know about this issue. This is due to Paizo originally giving the hobgoblin a trait of "goblin", but then the feats having the "hobgoblin" traits, so we had to code for that in the ruleset - which is now causing the remasted hobgoblin ancestry traits to not work as Paizo has changed to having the "hobgoblin" trait (which makes more sense).

I'll get a fix for this, while still maintaining the compatibility with the legacy hobgoblin, in the next ruleset release.

Choosing Investigator is setting simple, martial, and unarmed to master weapon proficiencies instead of trained on character creation.

I know this is unlikely to be a huge deal, because so many people simply ignore languages, but the Player Core 2 ancestries all fail to set default languages upon selection.

Thanks for letting us know, we'll get this fixed in a future release.

When using the Chargen Tracker, the Player Core 2 Barbarian does not allow you to select the Elemental Instinct from Rage of Elements. It can be added to the sheet directly from the Lookup Data.

We do plan to automate these in the near future, no definite timeline as yet. We've just been diverted with conflicting priorities over the last few weeks.

My player is an Inventor, but his armor innovation isn't keeping his correct AC (specifically, his Expert proficiency bonus) is there a drag and drop I should use?

The text for the feat Underground Network is mixed in with the Water Sprint Text.
