Seize the initiative and chop your foes to pieces with this exhaustive guide to the art of martial combat in this exciting new rulebook for the smash-hit Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, suitable for players and Game Masters alike!

This comprehensive 256-page hardcover reference reveals the martial secrets of the Pathfinder RPG rules like never before! Tons of new tricks and techniques for combat-oriented character classes put a sharp edge on your weapons and a sure step in your tactics, ranging from new barbarian rage powers, new cavalier orders, tons of new rogue talents, and more than 60 new archetypes for nearly every Pathfinder RPG character class, including spellcasters like wizards and clerics.

Ultimate Combat also introduces three new Pathfinder RPG classes: the ninja, samurai, and gunslinger! The ninja blends the subterfuge of the rogue with high-flying martial arts and assassination techniques. The samurai is an unstoppable armored warrior who lives by a strong code of honor—with or without a master. The gunslinger combines the fighter's martial prowess with a new grit mechanic that allows her to pull off fantastic acts with a pistol or rifle. All this plus tons of new armor and weapons, a complete treatment of firearms in the Pathfinder RPG, a vast array of martial arts, finishing moves, vehicle combat, duels, and new combat-oriented spells for every spellcasting class in the game!

Ultimate Combat includes:

  • New player character options for 14 Pathfinder RPG base classes, including alchemist discoveries, barbarian rage powers, cavalier orders, combat-cleric archetypes, animal shaman druids, new fighter archetypes like gladiator and armor master, inquisitor archetypes like witch-hunter or spellbreaker, combat-themed magus arcana, monk archetypes based on mastery of martial arts, new paladin archetypes like angelic warrior, ranger archetypes like big game hunter and trapper, new rogue tricks, and wizard archetypes like the gunmage
  • The ninja, samurai, and gunslinger, brand-new 20-level alternate classes specially designed to get the most out of combat
  • Hundreds of new combat-oriented feats including martial arts feat trees, finishing moves, and combination feats
  • In-depth overviews on a variety of combat-related topics, such as armor, Asian weapons, duels, fighting schools, guns, siege weapons, and more
  • A complete system covering vehicle combat, including wagons, boats, airships, and more
  • Tons of optional combat rules like called shots, armor as damage reduction, and new ways to track character health
  • ... and much, much more!

Ultimate eastern and guns

2/5

I had wrote a quite lengthy review but the system ate it so here are the highlights:
1) The book is all about asian stuff and guns.
2) Don't buy it if you don't like either stuff.
3) The book has a lot good spells.
4) Most of the asian stuff mechanics work.
5) Gun rules don't work most of the times in APs and modules (they can't handle guns at mid+ levels).
6) The book had quite a few editing issues when it first came out, second printing corrected most of them but not all.
7) The art is superb.
8) Even if you don't like guns and eastern stuff you should buy the pdf since the price of the pdf is very good and you should get some use out it.


More Options ! more fighting, ... MORE !

5/5

flavorful options, powerful options
classes, archetypes, feats...

while 100% of the boook might not please you, you want this book.

having the choice to build flavorful PC with the right options is priceless (and for this book, you have...)


great reference book

4/5

Great reference book that helps further explain combat rules but it is not without its flaws.


Helping to close the caster/everyone else gap

4/5

Raise your hand if you play or run melee classes. Barbarians, Fighters, Monks, Rogues, Paladins, pretty much anything without 9 levels of spells. Is your hand raised?

Now look around. Does the person next to you NOT have their hand raised? No they don't? Quickly! Use your raised hand to smack them in the face! Ha! Now you've shown the pansy finger wigglers the power of combat characters. Now make them go away so you can read your reviews in peace.

Ultimate Combat serves some great functions in the scope of the PF:RPG.

It helps bring non-casters a little more in line with the potential power of casters in the metagame by adding a slew of new feats and archtypes directly relevant to them. How much milage you get from these may vary, but lest you think they're all just blow off concepts, I know for certainty at least 1 Magus, 1 Monk, and 1 Inquistor archtype from this book that are definitely considered competative for 'best build to get the most out of this class' in the guides and discussions I've read on the Paizo forums, and they added some Bard ones that are just interestingly different (Try the archeologist bard if you want to play a bard/rogue cross. Try to resist the temptation to use a whip... or don't. ;) )

The spells section brings about some new toys for all casters but it did try and keep a combat focus, that was nice for the 4 and 6 spell level casters. If you're a Paladin or Inquisitor look into the new Litany line you'll probably find something you like, as will most other classes.

The Gunslinger is an interesting addition to the core classes and I think a positive one because it adds a new dynamic to how combat can work, and does a good job putting firearms in a magical setting that could allow them. If they're not your cup of tea it's easy to just dissallow them in your campaign or keep their rarity higher, but if you're playing in PFS/Golarion it's good to have in case you want to travel to regions they're thematic for.

The Asian inspired new classes, the Samurai and Ninja, are also positive additions. Some debate arises with the Ninja, it truly does do what the Rogue does only some solid arguements can be made it does it better, I know several players who now build "Rogues" using the Ninja class. However looking at the current metagame of Pathfinder Rogues were often much malagined as one of the least powerful classes, I'm not going to fault Paizo for offering a potential alterantive that rocks!

Rounding out the book it offers some rules and stats on siege weapons and warfare, and expanded vehicle rules and vehicle combat rules, along with dozens of new weapons and armor. The first two can really assist a GM, and the last gives you options from different places (asian themed) and times (stone age, bronze age, for example).

I can't give this book 5 stars, Ultimate Magic was a bit better, and it's not on par with what the APG did, but in the end what is it? It's a solid 4. Unless you play just casters and only casters you probably won't be dissappointed, because it's a solid book that does what you want it to do, and you'll feel like the money was worth it 9 times out of 10.


1/5

Ultimate? Combat?

Neither of the words in the title really apply to this book. Ultimate Monk or Piecemail Combat fit much better. Overall, this book is about as good as Ultimate Magic. A lot of material that is useless (or unfinished/untested) that only applies to a class or two, and there is a lot of material that seems artificially injected to fill space, but really only further highlights the Ultimate Combat material that is not present.

All Classes will find something in this book, mostly poor, but there are a few gems. Sadly, I think that the writers forgot that this was suppossed to be a Combat themed book. Monk gets about 500% more than everyone else (combined?) Many of the Archtypes are pretty good, solid options, but still some classes get a lot and some get a few, and it tends to be the same Classes that get few and the same Classes that get many.

A lot of good spells, (that makes Ultimate Magic even more worthless), but I' starting to really question Paizo's ideas of balance and understanding the lines between Arcane/Divine, amongst other things. A lot of Magus and Paladin love, as well as Monks (yes Monks), but not too much for Combat focused Clerics, Wizards, Sorcerers, and Oracles.

If there where a 0 Stars option, I would pick that, simply because this is the absolute wrong way to go with a Hardcover "core" book. If they would drop the Asian themed stuff, and maybe the Monk-Onlyish Feats, this would have been a nice little softcover book, and maybe worth the price.

Just announced—it's our Gen Con 2011 release, and it will be previewed at the PaizoCon 2011 banquet.

The cover image is a mockup, and will probably change slightly before it's finalized, though it does use the correct cover art.

Do we have a guarantee that this won't go the way of the 3.5 splatbooks?

Sczarni RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 16, RPG Superstar 2015 Top 32

I am disappointed that the ninja and samurai are going to be actual classes. Both can easily be archetypes, as a rogue and ninja are very similar, while the paladin and cavalier are both similar to the samurai. I fear adding more 20-level classes is going to clutter the class options, much like 3.5 was cluttered with its multitude of classes.

However, I have a great trust in Paizo and their developers. If they feel that both the Ninja and Samurai need their own classes then I look forward to seeing how they come out. I just hope they are not over shadowed by, or end up overshadowing, the martial and expert classes they are parallel to.

I am very excited for the vehicle combat, the alternate rules, and the new rules for the existing classes. I really, really want more archetypes, discoveries, talents, feats, and options for existing classes.

Rules for airship combat sends tingles up my spine.

I am up in the air with guns. I agree with their inclusion considering that there is a part of Golarion that uses them. I may only use them if I play in a setting or adventure path that has them as a big part of the story element.

What's the difference between an alternate class and a core class? I could have sworn I heard Erik Mona say at last year's Paizocon Banquet that the Magus would be the last new class for a while.

Someone please clarify this. Class glut is pretty worrisome to me as it seemed to be a huge contributor to the decline of 3.5 in popularity and focus during its last years.

it says alternate class this likely means something like the anti paladin. so 80% of a base class but a biggervrewrite than an archetype


I'd probably get this for the Gunslinger alternate class if nothing else, but the other bits (like Inquisitor archetypes and new fun bits for Alchemists) are just making me salivate all the more. Blast you, Paizo, you'll suck my wallet dry!


I am loving everything about the announcement for this book.

Seriously looking forward to this :)


Having high hopes at first when hearing this book was going to be done and seeing this preview now, my feelings are mixed as to whether or not I'll like the end product. Spells in this book are the biggest culprit. I was under the impression that was what Ultimate Magic was for. 60 new archetypes sounds a bit much as well as it's hard to make that many and have them all be of great quality.

Sorry for voicing the concern in an otherwise excited thread. I guess my biggest disappointment is reading the Ultimate Magic preview and seeing it is chock full of good stuff for all the spellcasting classes but nadda for the lowly fighter, rogue, or barbarian and then reading this and seeing a boatload of goodies in store for spellcasters in this book as well.

I think the main thing to keep in mind here is that the fighter, rogue, barbarian, and cavalier do not engage in magical activity. Therefore, they have no place in Ultimate Magic. Spellcasting classes, however, DO engage in combat. It makes sense to me that they get at least some love here.

As far as 60 archetypes goes, there were 60+ in the APG and that was only for 11 classes. I don't think it's going to be as overwhelming as you think.

My favorite classes have always been the arcane casters, especially Sorcerers since the release of 3e D&D, and now even moreso with bloodlines in Pathfinder... but I think I'm more interested in this book than I am Ultimate Magic. The Magus hasn't really wowed me all that much in the playtests, but the Gunslinger has me intrigued... a bit nervous, given the previous (largely ineffective, IMO) rules for guns in Paizo releases thusfar, but intrigued none the less.

Well, the only question would seem to be about the Samurai. Probably Fighter-based, but..? Gunslinger is definitely Fighter-based, and Ninja pretty much has to be Rogue-based... or just maybe Monk. Swap out Flurry and Unarmed Strike for Sneak Attack?

Fighter doesn't work so well as an alternate class. That is if they do what they did with anti-paladin. Alternate classes seem to be the standard class, with it's abilities applied in a new direction.

Bonus feats can already be applied to any weapon you want. Weapon training is pretty universal as well. Ranger might make more sense for gunslinger to be an alternate of.

Ranger? You'd have to get rid of everything but the combat feats... which basically would make them a Fighter variant.

And it says right above in the description "The gunslinger combines the fighter’s martial prowess with a new grit mechanic that allows her to pull off fantastic acts with a pistol or rifle..."

Maybe the Samurai is a variant Cavalier. "Armored Warrior with a Code of Honor" might be Paladin, I suppose, but that would be kind of weird Paladin having two separate and different variants.

I'm actually a fan of guns in fantasy games. I'm not a fan of them done in a way that feels anachronistic. The wand rifle feels weirdly anachronistic to me.

It's a pretty subtle difference, really, that almost counts as a philosophical difference as much as it is a game design difference. But here goes:

BASE CLASS: This is a class that features at its heart a unique ability, power, or method of doing something. That can be the ability to cast arcane spells from a spellbook, the ability to do sneak attacks, the ability to use bardic music, the ability to do alchemy stunts, or whatever. With each base class we build, it becomes tougher and tougher to come up with a new mechanic that helps to set that class apart. As far as multiclassing works, you can multiclass between any base class without restriction, because each class has its own basic shtick. You can't multiclass into the same base class though; you can't be a 1st level rogue and then multiclass into rogue and therefore gain 2d6 sneak attack at 2nd level instead of gaining evasion. That might seem obvious, but it's important to keep in mind when we move on to alternative classes.

ALTERNATE CLASSES: In earlier editions of this game, we might have called these "sub-classes." An alternate class does NOT have a significant new core ability. It's basically just a glorified archetype. The antipaladin is a great example; looking at the antipaladin, you can see that it basically functions the same way as a paladin. It has a smite ability, it has an ability to channel energy with its touch, and has an ability to put "riders" on that touch ability. It's different than the paladin, but it's also obviously just a VARIANT paladin. Technically, we could stat up ALL of the archetypes as alternate classes... but since most archetypes only swap out a few abilities, that'd kinda be a waste of space. Also... you can't multiclass from a class into that class's alternate class; you can't multiclass from paladin into antipaladin, for example (even if you ignore the alignment restrictions, you still can't; it's the same class).

We've pretty thoroughly explored the concept of new base classes and archetypes by now... but we haven't explored the concept of an alternate class beyond the antipaladin. With Ultimate Combat, we're exploring the concept three times, with the samurai, the ninja, and the gunslinger. (The gunslinger, actually, might morph into a full base class; guns are new enough of a concept to the game that that MIGHT be enough to justify a whole new class—we'll see.)

So while the difference between a base class and an alternate class might seem pedantic... there IS a difference. Whether or not the game and its players will accept more alternate classes, or whether folks will just treat things as if there's no difference between base classes and alternate classes... that's what Ultimate Combat will tell us.

Well... wait and see how we handle these classes. As I said in the previous post, an alternative class IS basically not much different than an archetype... they just swap out more abilities than most archetypes do, and we present them with those abilities already substituted in on the more familiar tables for the main class.

One thing we accomplish by doing this is that we artificially inflate the presence of that particular archetype to something more than that. In the case of the samurai and the ninja and the gunslinger... those are VERY popular concepts that, in our opinion, deserve having the spotlight shined on them a bit more than, say, the archetypes we listed in the APG.

(That said... were we doing the APG today, we might have approached a few of the more complex archetypes as alternate classes as well; the shaman druids come to mind in particular, as do the totem barbarians.)


This looks ambitious -- more so than the words of power system, magus class or anything else paizo has done to date, with the possible exception of retooling 3.5 into a new system.

I am really hopeful and almost scared at what this product can do or will do to paizo.

Fingers crossed though I am expecting great things.

Paizo Employee Creative Director

Oh... and also worth pointing out...

Ultimate Combat is far from at the printer yet. If we decide that presenting the ninja and the samurai and the gunslinger as alternative classes isn't a good idea and that it'd be better to present them simply as normal archetypes... we'll do so. Feedback from customers will be a huge part of how we make that decision.

That said, having seen how these three look as alternative classes, I'm pretty excited about them. I hope you all will like them too, of course! :)

They are a major selling point for me. It seems people always forget the cardinal rule that the GM says what is and is not allowed in his or her game. If it does not fit the campaign then it does not exist. Problem solved. Thanks for expanding on an element many players and GMs will be happy to have from Paizo. Thanks again.


I'm mostly disappointed that two awaited classes/archetypes: the ninja and the samurai, are coming to us in this format instead of an oriental-themed book.

The combat-themed book is a great idea. Everyone loves ass-kicking. I just wish the oriental book had been done first.

Plus psionics.


The book looks like it will be a lot of fun, and have a lot of neat options. Being a fan of Eberron I look forward to rules of fighting in, on, and around moving vehicles of all types.

And as an observation of the cover art...it looks like the Samurai has been fighting off the horde of creatures when all of a sudden Valeros (based on his angle) has just exploded out of the snow. "OH YEAH!"
