<p>Some Paizo posters were worried because Summoners fight with a single die (for example, when Alase uses Tonbarse's power for combat, she rolls d10+2+Charisma skill bonus+scenario AD number). Rest assured, summoners have enough ways to boost combat. I played the MM OP season with a guy who played Alase, and he often auto'd combats into the later decks, although it is true he shied away from a couple villain fights later on.</p>
<p>I have to respond to this:

While I'm not crazy about paying money for common duplicates, class decks are a product series marketed as a stand-alone card pool for your character decks — which is mandatory for organized play. You can't market a product like this and then force me to borrow components from the base set.</blockquote><p>This is dead cold wrong.
<p>The Organized Play guide covers this (and this is not the first Class Deck with characters whose starting deck includes non-Basic cards). The guide clearly states: if you don't have enough Basic cards of a given type, you use non-Basic B cards; then you use Basic 1 cards; then you use non-Basic 1 cards.</p>
<p>To be clear: only Alase has this predicament — she needs 5 blessings, but the deck only has 4 Basic blessings (Gods). This is actually an <i>advantage</i> — she starts with a Pharasma or an Iomadae.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Summoner Class Deck</b></p><p>These characters look like a blast to play.</p>
