Any additional/variant features in Pathfinder would be very helpful to include to help the implementation of them in-game. Variant Rules like 0-level characters, Stamina, etc! Dndbeyond never incorporated things like Spell Points or even basic things like Charms and Boons which was a huge bummer! Sorry to bring up Dndbeyond but it helps with portraying things that I noticed would make the game run smoother.

I will be running my next game with ancestry paragon, free archetype, automatic bonus progression, and gradual ability boosts. So if these variant rules are not in the character manager I won’t be using it, and won’t be buying the books here
they will have the the different ruleset
Would love to see a page added for campaigns and adventures that have quick references for important materials such as zoom links, links to create various accounts to access different resources like World Anvil elsewhere on the internet etc. A kind of “syllabus” if you will. I keep having to send all this information over and over to each of my players.

It might have been said already but the action on the feats in the feat primer would be great.
Definitely on the list - thanks!

I know you’re all busy and I’m impatient but, how about a progress ‘meter’ on certain things?
Such as are you 20% complete the primers. Have you diverted focus away from primers etc.
You’d avoid so many questions with a simple little progress page / meter on certain goals etc.
Kudos for bringing all that lost omens content though and keep up the good work.
For the creature entries in the compendium, will you eventually be editing the stat blocks to include full descriptions of abilities that currently just refer to other creatures with the same ability? That makes a ton of sense to save space in a physical book, but not so much in an online compendium.
Example, In the Ancient Gold Dragon Stat block:
- The Golden Luck ability just says “As adult gold dragon” with a link
- The Breath Weapon ability says “As young gold dragon” with a link
So if you are running an encounter with the Ancient Gold Dragon, you have to refer to three different creatures
No, we won’t be doing anything like a progress meter at this time, a couple of reasons being that with our small team we want to keep as much focus on building the things as we can (as opposed to maintaining the status of the things) and these sorts of things are often confusing or misinterpreted because percentages are hard to know what they mean without full context.
I certainly appreciate the impatience…it’s tough for me to wait on things I want to consume too. We’ll find ways as we advance to communicate our progress, but for now, the Dev Update streams, here in the forums, and our social media accounts are the best way to stay up-to-date.
Thanks!
Yes - definitely on the list as we get further down the road (and will be a requirement for the eventual encounter builder).
Now my only reference is DDB, but hear me out. On the Character sheet, in “actions table” would love to be able to attach ammunition (bolts/arrows) to a weapon in that front page. To be able to easily deduct/add as needed with out navigating to Equipment>containers>open, edit.
Since there’s different kinds of ammo of course, I picture it as navigating to an item in your equipment, and maybe in the customize menu, being able to ‘attach’ to another item/weapon. So that when the parent item is equipped, the child item is also displayed -to be tracked.
Thanks for reading!

We should be able to search by page number of the actual books , lots of post on the internet refer to the physical pages that I don’t have because it’s online
Also the search bar at the top should have an advanced options where I can specify what I’m searching for (Rules , monster , class…).
Like right now if I’m searching for conditions because I want the list of possible conditions in the game I get 167 pages or answer that reference every single instances of the word ‘‘conditions’’.
If on google I type – pf2e conditions – I’ll instantly get the link for the page on archives of nethys

Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, but one thing that would be excellent would be the artwork from the the pawn boxes for associated adventure paths. There is so much good artwork for all the creatures that never make it into the final adventure paths. They normally make it into the pawn boxes but in a very small/almost impossible to use format. Full size artwork to go along with all the NPCs and creatures would be the best. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing - this isn’t a priority for us in the digital format, but we’ll add it to the list for consideration.
And regarding the rest of the search feedback, right now we have an early version of search that hasn’t been optimized how we’ll want it to be in the end. Improvements such as the ones you mention here are on the roadmap for sure.
We will be adding the additional artwork from the cards and pawns over time…I love that Paizo creates artwork for almost every single creature, item, etc. and we have a great opportunity in the digital toolset to leverage that art on all of those game elements. Keep an eye out for that to be incorporated in the near future.
Thanks!

I’d love to see an encounter builder of some kind, with an integrated treasure builder for those DMs who struggle with adequate treasure allocation. Thank-you for all the hard work so far, can’t wait to see things go even further!

I’d like to see a ‘previous creatures’ list when you’re looking up creatures in the compendium.
So you can flip back and forth between a few of them. Maybe a list of the last 5 - 10?
Doesn’t have to be remembered between logins, but maybe it could be.
Or perhaps a compare buttons when you want to compare two creatures.
Thanks for reading.
I’m pretty sure they loosely implied during a stream or two that this is something that is a definite
possibility. For now, they are just trying to get all the ground level basics built first.
However they mentioned working hard on the character builder which would be a precursor to any kind
of creature builder. It’s hard to be patient but so far they’ve been doing a fantastic job.
I recently became aware of something called Bionic Reading. It is a huge help to people like myself with ADHD and other neurodivergent folks.
It makes reading much much easier for us who have issues staying focused. Not only easier but faster. I’m not sure if its something that can be implemented or not but they do have an API for it on their website.
Thank you.
