Thanks!

I tried to keep some documentation but the Community Pack grew faster than I could keep up with it. So unfortunately nothing like this exists.

This adds in new adjustments that can be found on the "Adjust" tab. If you turn on a specific source like Path of War then you will find new classes, feats, equipment from that book.

As everything is source marked this means you could search via the source name. In example if you go to the Adjust tab and and open a list of adjustments then type in "ShadowChemosh" at the top you will see all the adjustments that are attached to that source.

The one weird thing is my adjustments also add new skills that you can add on the Skills tab for concentration.

The pre-built encounters are actually downloaded separate over at d20pfsrd from the community repository. Also note that the old Community Bestiary has been rolled into the Community Pack (all in one now).

Last thing to know is that community created encounters are different from the ones purchased from LW. If an encounter pulls a monster from a standard Paizo source the community didn't re-create it meaning you will need some of the Bestiary books from LW.
