Important Note

PF2 - Rage of Elements is written using the upcoming remaster materials, and as such includes certain modified elements. Since the new Core materials have yet to be published, some entries may not absolutely reflect what is printed in RoE in order to maintain clarity, or changes may not have been applied at large to avoid confusion.

• The new elemental languages have replaced the old ones when adding languages to a character. The old versions will still be present on characters that already have them, but will likely be replaced with the release of the remaster rules.
• Creatures include the current versions of their spells, which will be replaced with the release of the remaster rules to use the versions printed in their statblocks.
• Please consult the sidebar in the front of the book as well as the glossary for other changes, such as renamed traits such as spellshape and adjustments to abilities such as Knockdown and Push.

Patch 2023-08-16

• Converted the "select from list" dialog to be a popover window attached to the input field. An example of this is when configuring an item from it's ellipsis menu, such as a Temporary Adjustment stat bonus. This should make all such configuration fields a little easier and more pleasant to use.
