First introduced in 2019, Paizo’s Pathfinder Second Edition has grown into one of the biggest tabletop RPGs on the market, with dozens of rulebooks, setting guides and adventures bringing the game to life. Yet the massive amount of content, and a new Remastered version in 2023, also means figuring out where to start can be challenging for both new and veteran players alike.
To help make sense of it all, we’ve put together this complete list of every PF2E book, organized into six categories: the Core Rulebooks you need to play, Supplements that offer additional rules, GM tools and character options, the Lost Omens line that fleshes out the Golarion setting, Standalone Adventures you can pick up and run alone or as part of a larger campaign, Adventure Paths that offer a complete start-to-finish campaign collected into single hardcover volumes, plus a full list of Upcoming books that have officially been announced but aren’t yet available. For each book we’ve also included a publication date, whether it’s for Players or GMs (or both), info on what it’s all about and whether it’s original PF2E or the Remaster.
One other important thing to note is that Pathfinder books come in multiple versions, which range in price and format. This includes PDFs (which are available through both Paizo and DriveThruRPG), pocket editions and deluxe limited editions. For ease of reference, we’ve included links to the standard hardcover versions and PDFs.

Core Rulebooks
Below are the core rules you actually need to run Pathfinder 2E at the table. One important to note is that in 2023 Paizo released Pathfinder 2E Remastered, which is technically fully compatible with all previous 2E materials, but introduced a few minor rules updates and tweaks. The Remaster also broke out what was once a single 2019 PF2E Core Rulebook into separate Player Core and GM Core books. For ease of reference, below we call out if a book has been Remastered.
Pathfinder 2E Core Rulebook
Published: August 2019
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
This complete guide for players contains all of the PF2E core rules, covering everything from character creation and combat, to exploration and class features. Note that while you can still use this book without any issue, the 2023 Remaster split the contents into two updated products: Player Core and GM Core. This base Core Rulebook from 2019, however, is still a great option.
Pathfinder 2E Bestiary
Published: August 2019
Who is It for: Game Masters
A compendium of creatures for PF2E adventures, the book includes more than 400 monsters drawn from mythology, the fantasy genre and more than a decade of Pathfinder lore. Stat blocks are listed by level, type and rarity, and the book includes new monster rules to simplify combat, along with detailed creature lore and guidelines for handling treasure. Note that in 2024, Paizo released a Remastered Monster Core which features minor updates to many of the monsters featured in this original 2019 book, but you can still use it for PF2E without any issues.
Pathfinder 2E Bestiary 2
Published: June 2020
Who is It for: Game Masters
Bestiary 2 doubles down on the monster-building formula with more than 350 new and classic creatures to throw at your table. Serpentfolk slither back into the spotlight, the literary jabberwock makes its Pathfinder debut, and fan-favorite threats like the primal dragons get official stat blocks. As with the first volume, everything runs on the same universal monster rules, so mixing and matching across bestiaries is relatively easy. Note that in 2024, Paizo released a Remastered Monster Core which features minor updates to many of the monsters featured in this 2020 book.
Pathfinder 2E Bestiary 3
Published: April 2021
Who is It for: Game Masters
Bestiary 3 rounds out the original monster trilogy with more than 300 creatures pulled from mythology, folklore and a decade-plus of Pathfinder lore. Clockwork constructs and mischievous tooth fairies mingle with returning favorites like imperial dragons and towering titans. As always, the universal monster rules mean these creatures play nice with everything from the first two Bestiaries, and the book sorts by level, type and rarity, making encounter-building suprisingly easy. Note that in 2024, Paizo released a Remastered Monster Core which features minor updates to many of the monsters featured in Bestiary 3, as well as Bestiary 1 and 2.
Pathfinder 2E Player Core (Remastered)
Published: November 2023
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
Player Core is the first pillar of the Pathfinder Remaster and the definitive rulebook for anyone building a character today. It reworks and streamlines the original 2019 Core Rulebook’s player-facing content (eight ancestries, eight classes and hundreds of feats and spells) into something easier to learn without losing any depth. Four years of accumulated errata and community feedback are also baked into the rules, and a full Lost Omens primer gets new players oriented quickly to the default campaign setting of Golarion. If you’re starting Pathfinder 2E fresh today, this is where you begin.
Pathfinder 2E GM Core (Remastered)
Published: November 2023
Who is It for: Game Masters
GM Core is an essential companion book to the Player Core and is really the second pillar of the Remaster of PF2E. As a comprehensive toolkit for anyone sitting behind the GM screen, it covers everything from encounter-building math to hazard and monster creation, plus crunchy subsystems for chases, duels, research, infiltration and more. It also features an extensive chapter on treasure (which covers everything from simple healing potions to legendary artifacts), and a Lost Omens gazetteer sketches the wider world of Golarion for GMs building their own campaigns.
Pathfinder 2E Monster Core (Remastered)
Published: March 2024
Who is It for: Game Masters
Monster Core is the Remaster’s answer to the original Bestiary trilogy and is the third pillar of the new core PF2E rules. As the name suggests, it collects more than 400 new and updated monsters into one fully illustrated tome. This includes eight brand-new dragons, along with classic mythological threats like the medusa and minotaur and fan favorites like the sinspawn. The book also introduces new adjustment templates that let GMs scale creatures stats up or down on the fly, and as with previous bestiaries, everything is sorted by type and level for quick and easy encounter-building.
Pathfinder 2E Player Core 2 (Remastered)
Published: August 2024
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
Player Core 2 is the Remaster’s second player-facing pillar, expanding the roster with eight fully remastered classes: Alchemist, Barbarian, Champion, Investigator, Monk, Oracle, Sorcerer and Swashbuckler. It also includes more than 40 archetypes that allow PCs to cross-train and become aerial acrobats, cavaliers, pirates and other more esoteric options. The book also features expanded ancestry options that bring back the catfolk, gnoll, hobgoblin, kobold, lizardfolk, ratfolk, and tengu, along with new heritages. Note that Player Core is required to use this book, as this is an expansion and not a standalone book.
Pathfinder 2E Monster Core 2 (Remastered)
Published: November 2025
Who is It for: Game Masters
Monster Core 2 proves the well of Pathfinder monsters is nowhere near dry, packing over 300 new and updated creatures into a single volume. It introduces eight original dragons, along with mythological classics like the coatl and garuda, and Pathfinder 1E legends like the unstoppable Spawn of Rovagug. The book also carries over a number of refinements from the 2024 Monster Core, including adjustment templates, level-and-type sorted lists and new errata. While this book isn’t absolutely essential, if you’re GMs who’ve already worked through the first book’s roster, it’s a natural next pickup and technically considered part of the PF2E Remastered core rule books.
Supplements
Over the years Paizo has released a number of Pathfinder second edition products that expand on the rules of the game, but aren’t part of the core rules. These supplements run the gamut from additional advice for GMs to advanced player options. Note that in some cases, existing PF2E products were updated for the Remastered version of the game that occurred in 2023. Below, we’ve made a note of this.
Pathfinder 2E Gamemastery Guide
Published: March 2020
Who is It for: Game Masters
This book offers GMs practical advice on building adventures, settlements and NPCs. It also introduces variant rules for chases, duels, tournaments and other set-pieces that go beyond typical combat encounters. It also includes a universal victory-point subsystem to help develop mini-games on the fly, a range of new and variant magic items and over 60 fully fleshed out NPCs.
Pathfinder 2E Advanced Player’s Guide
Published: July 2020
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
The Advanced Player’s Guide is where Pathfinder 2E’s character options really open up. Four new classes join the roster: the clue-chasing Investigator, the fate-touched Oracle, the daring Swashbuckler and the hex-slinging Witch (all of which would be ported over to the Remastered Player Core 2 in 2024). This 2020 version also includes new ancestries and heritages plus 40 new archetypes. Existing Core Rulebook classes are get some new options (including genie-blooded Sorcerers and Rogue masterminds) along with new backgrounds, spells and magic items.
Pathfinder 2E Secrets of Magic
Published: September 2021
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
Secrets of Magic cracks open Pathfinder’s spellcasting rules and pours in two brand-new classes: the blade-and-spell Magus and the Summoner, who commands a powerful magical companion at their side. Beyond the new classes, the rulebook includes hundreds of new spells, new magic items and even new types of casting, including elementalism, geomancy, shadow magic and rune magic. It’s a deep-cut supplement, best suited to tables that already love spellcasters and want to push magic in weirder, more flavorful directions.
Pathfinder 2E Guns & Gears
Published: October 2021
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
Guns & Gears trades swords and spellbooks for flintlocks and clockwork, introducing the tinkering Inventor and the trigger-happy Gunslinger classes along with the fully customizable automaton ancestry. Firearms of every make also get complete rules along with siege engines, vehicles and over a dozen new mechanical archetypes. The book also includes a gazetteer of Alkenstar, a city in Golarion known for its gunpowder and gears, giving GMs lore to build a whole campaign around technology’s uneasy place in a magical world.
Pathfinder 2E Book of the Dead
Published: April 2022
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
Death is only the beginning in Book of the Dead, a tome built entirely around the undead. GMs get new hazards, haunts and an enormous bestiary of classic and never-before-seen undead. This includes familiar options like vampires and zombies to deep cut horrors from some of Golarion’s infamous undead-plagued regions. The book also includes new player-facing archetypes and options characters can use to fight the horde, command it or even join it. Finally, it includes a complete adventure called March of the Dead that taps into many of the books themes and mechanics.
Pathfinder 2E Dark Archive
Published: July 2022
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
Dark Archive is essentially Pathfinder’s take on the X-Files, adding in a dash of paranormal weirdness into PF2E’s epic high fantasy. Two new classes headline it: the mind-bending Psychic and the secret-wielding Thaumaturge. The book also includes eight self-contained ‘case files’ which can be run individually or strung together into a campaign. Each file digs into a different flavor of strangeness, including cryptids, apocalyptic cults and temporal anomalies. There are also new player options and GM tools for running paranormal adventures.
Pathfinder 2E Treasure Vault
Published: February 2023
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
Every adventuring party needs loot, and Treasure Vault delivers it in spades. The book is narrated by an exasperated kobold assistant protecting a dragon’s hoard and features nearly 600 new items, including weapons, armor, wands and wondrous magic items. It also includes an entire ‘Alchemy Unleashed’ chapter with over 100 new alchemical goodies. If that wasn’t enough, there’s also expanded and variant crafting rules that give Tinkerers new ways to build their own gear, plus a chapter of high-risk, high-reward items for players willing to risk life and limb while wielding powerful magical artifacts.
Pathfinder 2E Rage of Elements
Published: August 2023
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
Rage of Elements’ primary focus is on the Kineticist, a new class that lets characters channel raw elemental force directly through their bodies rather than through spellbooks, with the ability to command fire, water, earth, air, wood and metal. The book also includes new elemental-flavored spells, gear and archetypes (including elemental options for other classes). An extensive gazetteer also explores the elemental planes and features a bestiary of element-themed monsters.
Pathfinder 2E Howl of the Wild
Published: May 2024
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
Howl of the Wild takes Pathfinder deep into the deep wilderness and is framed around a legendary naturalist’s airship expedition to track down four legendary beasts. The book includes six new ancestries (minotaurs, centaurs, merfolk, athamarus, awakened animals and surkis) alongside archetypes for werecreatures and claw-and-fang fighters. New animal companions and beast-crafted gear round out the player side, while GMs get a menagerie of wilderness monsters ranging from dinosaurs and sharks to entirely new creatures.
Pathfinder 2E War of Immortals
Published: October 2024

A collection of mythic monsters and guidance for building your own is also available for GM, along with advice on how to create and run mythic high-level campaigns.

Published: February 2025
Who is It for: Players & Game Masters

The Inventor and Gunslinger classes return with updated mechanics, as does the fully remastered automaton ancestry for players who want to build a living construct from the ground up. Firearms, siege engines, vehicles, gadgets, and dozens of archetypes make the jump intact, along with the Alkenstar gazetteer that grounds all this technology in Golarion’s lore. If you missed out on the book when it was first published in 2021, it’s definitely worth picking up, but if you already own the original, you can probably skip this Remaster.
Pathfinder 2E NPC Core (Remastered)

Variant and expanded crafting rules let tinkerers build their own equipment from scratch.

Who is It for: Players & Game Masters
War has come to Golarion, and Battlecry! is Pathfinder’s answer, as a rulebook built entirely around large-scale conflict.

Each maritime region gets a rich history, cultural overview, spotlight city, and breakdown of current events, plus brand-new character options and a full fold-out poster map. It’s an indispensable guide if you’re looking to run nautical campaigns, high-seas pirate adventures, or deep-sea expeditions across Golarion.
Adventures
Beyond the core rules and setting lore, Paizo also publishes standalone adventures. These tend to be shorter campaigns you can run on their own or slot into an existing game. Notably, these standalone Adventures are not to be confused with Adventure Paths, which consists of monthly publications which when run together make up a larger campaign and are often compiled together into a single sourcebook.
The Fall of Plaguestone
Published: August 2019
Who is It for: Game Masters
Level Range: 1-4
When the players’ wagon breaks down near the sleepy village of Etran’s Folly (also known as Plaguestone) they stumble into a dark mystery that spirals into forbidden alchemy, mutant beasts and a forest rotting from the inside out. Written as the very first standalone PF2E adventure, Plaguestone is the perfect low-stakes introduction for brand-new groups. It teaches the rules, builds the party and delivers a genuinely creepy small-town mystery.
