Thanks. So you missing the Dice, Flip-mat and the token bases. Are the tokens exactly the same as the punch out ones, or are they designed to be folded over like the "pathfinder paper minis"?

What is in the PDF of the box set? Can you print out the paper pawns and the "flip mat" or just the books?

When you purchase the license you get a product of your choice that comes with it so you don't have to worry about buying the product and then more for the pathfinder core material, that comes free if you do it right. The APG however is a separate purchase but it is cheap and if that doesn't even work out for you there are free options online at various places that convert all the info into easy to install packages that are the same thing, it just takes a little bit of footwork.

That being said... I love herolabs, both as a player and a DM, I use it more for NPC tracking and building on my side of the table but it is a GREAT tool. I think it is worth every penny.

I found a couple of tools called PCGen and Heroforge respectivly. Both are free, however Heroforge doesn't currently support pathfinder, just 3.5 rules. PCGen does what I need, which is a rules check on my understanding of how to build a character. It's not as graceful as herolab is, some of the dialogs are hard to follow - took me over half an hour to figure where to select my favored class. But still it works and is free.

herolabs is cool and I'll keep it on my drive and poke around from time to time. At this point the only thing I've purchased is the core rulebook, if I spend anymore money it will be on modules or the Bestiary first.

I think that wolfslair's herolab has a demo version that can help as far as building characters, for new players. i dont think you can save or print with the free version but it helps with adding mods and keeping track of which feats your character can qualify for etc. i dont work for them, i just use the program.

Thanks. That makes sense. I was confuzzled.

My last real campaign was back when 2nd edition was new. I'm really an old AD&D player at heart, but I haven't played that in decades. I'm very excited to find Pathfinder and looking forward to running a campaign (all my other players are my kids and their friends, all who have no experience, so I am the default GM) Being GM is no real problem, it an old shoe and it still fits, but I find that without an experienced player in house to ask quick questions I get stuck on really simple things. so with that in mind...

Does 'class skill' mean that I get a free rank 1 in that skill, or do I still have to spend a point?
table 4-1 says I get X + int modifier per level. Does that include first level?

So for example: lvl 1 barbarian INT 10 would get rank one in the 10 class skills and still have 4 points left to spend as desired?
