The Pathfinder 2E Player’s Core 2 closes out the total “remaster” of 2nd edition with an expansive new book. Swashbucklers and more!

The Pathfinder Remastered project has been levelling up Pathfinder 2E, overhauling the rules and taking it away from the OGL. The project comprises four books, Player Core, GM Core, Monster Core, and soon, Player Core 2.

Up for preorder now, Player Core 2 rounds out the collection. It’s basically an updated version of the Advanced Player’s Guide. Complete with powerful new class options, including new archetypes and more. If you want to really dig in and out 2E Pathfinder through its paces, this is the book for you.

What’s in it?

Pathfinder Player Core 2 – Level Up Your Pathfinder

This is basically like the Advanced Player’s Guide from back in the original Pathfinder days. You’ll find new archetypes, new feats, new ancestries, and of course, “fully integrated errata.” Everything from the last four years of Pathfinder 2E is reflected in this book, including revisions to fan-favorite classes. Just take a look at everything in store:

Survival in a world beset by magic and evil takes more than a lucky roll of the dice. Pathfinder Player Core 2 significantly expands options available to Pathfinder players, giving them the edge to take on any adventure. This 320-page hardcover rulebook remasters 8 classes from Pathfinder Second Edition, providing everything you need to create a wide array of new characters, ready to take on the world. It also includes more than 40 archetypes, expanded ancestries, and tons of feats, spells, and alchemical items to provide a near-endless array of exciting options for every Pathfinder character! The ideal character option resource for players looking to move beyond the Pathfinder Player Core.


As you can see, this book doesn’t mess around. Weighing in at 320 pages, this hefty chonk of a book makes it easier than ever to really get in there and create a character. From new ancestry options to new spells, there’s something for pretty much everyone:

Eight fully detailed classes, including the alchemist, barbarian, champion, investigator, monk, oracle, sorcerer, and swashbuckler, each containing multiple character paths, multiclassing options, and dozens of feats!

Expanded ancestry options include the catfolk, gnoll, hobgoblin, kobold, lizardfolk, ratfolk, and tengu, alongside three versatile heritages—the dhampir, duskwalker, and an all-new heritage debuting in this volume!

More than 40 archetypes, allowing you to further customize your character’s story and abilities. Turn your hero into an aerial acrobat, a high-riding cavalier, a treacherous pirate, and so much more!
