I'm in the process of getting into Pathfinder (which for me means vigorous amounts of reading, both for fin and study) and ran across an inconsistency in the Gunslinger Favored Race entry. In Advanced Races the bonus to Crit Confirm is listed as +1/3, where as in Goblins of Golarion (and most guides I've read) list it as +1. Now, GoG is the older book (published in 2011 as compared to ARG being 2012 according to the credits page in the back of the books) which makes me think that AGS is the corrected entry. But GoG IS a book entirely about Goblins. Also I haven't found an Errata that mentions ARG being wrong. So, which one is correct? Do Guide/Handbook makers use the GoG version simply because it is better, or because it is correct? Thanks for your time!

Goblins of Golarion

You should note that _every_ Favored bonus from GoG was redone later.
Mainly due to them being horribly written/though-out.

They ranged from overly good (the full +1 to Crits, when the next best race only got +1/3), to horribly bad (+1 Skill to put in Ride? HOORAY!..oh, wait...I can just take +1 Skill point and put it ANYWHERE instead).


So the Advanced Race guide takes precedence, and GoG is basically ignored.
