Remaster Changes - foundryvtt/pf2e GitHub Wiki

With the 5.9.0 release of the Pathfinder 2e Foundry system we have moved fully to the remaster rules. We want the transition to these rules to be as seamless as possible for groups. This journal is here as a reference for GMs or players who are looking for an item but can't locate it in the system compendiums, and we have future plans to expand the ability to find items quickly even if you can't remember that Scorching Ray is now called Blazing Bolt.

On this page we list the feat, spells, and other items that were heavily altered, merged together, or removed from the system with this release. The remaster will not be complete until the release of Player Core 2, however this release represents the bulk of the rules changes that will happen.

Some items have been removed from the system as they are not compatible with the new rules. Alignment ampoules, for example, are not usable in a game without alignment. However, because we know that people want to use new releases while not fully moving to the remaster rules a copy of all of the legacy content has been made available through the PF2e Legacy Content module. This module also adds alignment back to actors.

This is not a full changelog of the remaster changes. That changelog would be exceptionally large, as many feats and spells had minor tweaks to the descriptions. A full changelog can be built from our github repository, though be aware that the diff file produced affected several thousand files, mostly in changing stored name references.

Rules changes

In this release, the system implemented the following system wide rules changes:

Removal of Alignment Alignment has been removed from the system. Alignment that had been set before on actors is still in actor data in the form of inert traits. These traits are not displayed on the sheet until a module adds the traits back. The PF2e Legacy Data module does this, and smaller modules can easily do this. You can also do this without a module by simply registering the four alignment traits in the system homebrew settings menu as actor traits.

Evil fiends and good celestials have had the unholy or holy trait added to them. NPC strikes that dealt evil or good damage have been converted to deal spirit damage with the unholy or holy trait.

Instances of alignment damage in text have been changed to spirit damage. This has been done programmatically, and may result in some errors where spirit damage does not make sense to use. If you find one of these situations, please make an issue for us to remedy it.

Removal of Spell Schools Seven of the eight spell schools have been removed: Abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, necromancy, and transmutation have been removed from spells, feats, equipment, and the like. Illusion is still a trait used in the remaster rules and has been kept.

Removal of Spell Components Spell components (verbal, somatic, material) have been removed from all spells. If a spell had a verbal component it gained the concentrate trait. If the spell had a somatic component it gained the manipulate trait. As a general rule, all spells now require speaking. This general rule is modified by the new 'subtle' trait.

Languages

Several languages have been renamed.

  • Abyssal is now Chthonian.
  • Aquan is now Thalassic.
  • Auran is now Sussuran.
  • Celestial is now Empyrean.
  • Druidic is now Wildsong.
  • Gnoll is now Kholo.
  • Ignan is now Pyric.
  • Infernal is now Diabolic.
  • Sylvan is now Fey.
  • Terran is now Petran.
  • Undercommon is now Sakvroth.

Class Features

The largest change to class features are the removal of all legacy witch patron themes and wizard arcane schools. These choices are still available in the PF2e Legacy Data module, and when the module is enabled they will appear alongside the remaster choices for those class features automatically.
