Notable Changes

• PF2 - The Gatewalkers Adventure Path has had its remaster update applied.

Legacy/Remaster Changes to PF2

• The vast majority of feats and abilities have been converted to use their remaster/ORC names. This makes it possible for us to cleanly integrate SF2 into a unified environment with PF2. Spells and gear still maintain separate versions, and legacy feats that are mechanically distinct still exist as choices. Please Note: No options have been removed. This merely brings things in line with the renaming performed in the remaster updates to the game system. Anything from pre-remaster books that has not been reprinted is still available and will remain so, and any renamed options will continue to be available to users who have purchased either the original or remaster book where the content has been printed.
• Most classes have now been distilled to only their remaster versions, with continued access to legacy content where mechanically distinct. For example, the wizard class now has a checkbox on the appropriate ability that allows use of the corresponding legacy schools. Characters currently using legacy versions of classes or multiclass feats should experience no change.
• The "Remaster" operation has been eliminated. If the Player Core book is owned, it will now be utilized automatically. Behaviorally, this simply makes some renamed and new material available (i.e. spells, gear, and some new feats), since reprinted and renamed versions of feats have already been updated.
• The "Transform" operation remains available for characters using legacy content where there are critical differences from the remaster versions. Typically, this operation removes obsolete options and converts the legacy material (e.g. witch patrons) into their remaster counterparts.

Starfinder 2nd Edition

• The Starfinder 2nd Edition Playtest content is now available for use in combination with the Pathfinder 2nd Edition game system. We've integrated the content from both games into a unified environment, where they can be used together or stand alone as you see fit. As always, you can make the best decision for each character individually.
• Both the PF2 and SF2 game systems are selectable from the HLO home screen. They each lead to the same repository of characters, spanning both game systems. However, the selected game system determines the defaults for both the visuals and character creation.
• Creating a character presents the option of which game system to use - Fantasy or Sci-Fi - and this choice establishes various defaults for the character. Fantasy characters behave similarly to PF2, using PF2 books as their base and gold, silver, and copper as their currency. Sci-Fi characters use SF2 books as their base, use credits as currency (equivalent to silver), and display the SF2 descriptions for content that appears in both systems (e.g., human and android ancestries).
• Regardless of whether PF2 or SF2 is chosen initially, any character can enable the "Allow Combined Setting Content" option, which allows access to the rules content from the other game system. When enabled, content is shown from all enabled books. Filtering options within selection tables can limit the shown content to either Fantasy of Sci-Fi.
• At the moment, only content from the SF2 Playtest is available for use, plus Galaxy Guide if purchased. Once SF2 Player Core is officially released, all current Playtest content will be converted to the SF2 Player Core equivalents and will thereafter operate in demo mode until the SF2 Player Core book has been purchased. Please Note: The conversion to SF2 Player Core MAY result in changes to existing characters, as options will be added, modified, and removed to match the officially released content.
• The separate Starfinder 2nd Edition Playtest game system will continue to exist for the time being. Characters cannot be automatically moved into the unified PF2/SF2 game system, but you can freely recreate the characters to experiment with the unified environment. Additionally, characters in the separate Playtest game system will NOT be converted when the game officially releases.
