Please Note: A number of these changes were actually rolled out over the past week+ while much of the team was at Gen Con. As no patch notes were posted for those releases, they are being included here.

New Features

• Characters with minions can now control those minions via the "Character" view in the side panel. Any minions can be accessed via the dropdown menu in this view. Any sections of those minions' Play tabs are accessible from another menu, along with a link to load the full minion.

Changes and improvements

• PF2 - Adds a message indicating the retirement of the PF2 playtest

Bug fixes

• Numerous performance and stability fixes on the server, with more to come in the near future.
• Fixes several cases that could cause a client to spam the server with unnecessary requests, causing stability problems
• Fixes an issue where the list of folders and characters for an account would not get fetched when a different account logs in
• Fixes HP input displaying "NaN" when any non-numeric input was given
• Fixes a case where uploading an image that had already been uploaded to the server would fail
• PF2 - Fixes a case of a loading spinner being invisible in the Fantasy theme

PF2 - Backgrounds whose trained skill choice is also set as trained by the class now allow the user to select any other skill to be trained, instead.

I'm still not able to select a different skill, even when making a new character. Getting the same behavior as before: two blue checkmarks and a blue message saying "More than one option has made this skill trained".

EDIT: specifically, i'm trying to combine the Herbalist background with the Fey Sorcerer class, both of which give Nature as a trained skill. it seems to work with other background/class combinations. perhaps the problem is that the second Nature skill is coming from the Bloodline rather than from the base class?

Awesome! Missing from the list -- Pathfinder Society XP Advancement was fixed.

Which background should we test this on? This worked on the ones I've tested, but there might have been one that was missed.

Also, just to double-check, please reload your browser and test again - there's a chance it might not have immediately updated the data.

specifically, i'm trying to combine the Herbalist background with the Fey Sorcerer class, both of which give Nature as a trained skill. i experimented with other background/class combinations and it seemed to work properly-- i got the option to select a different skill.

perhaps the problem with the Sorcerer is that the second fixed skill is coming from the Bloodline rather than from the base class? i reloaded my browser several times, to no effect. i've also submitted a bug report through the game interface.

Ok, thanks - we've gotten a fix for Sorcerer bloodline skills combining with backgrounds for the next update.
