Enter a fantastic world of adventure!

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game puts you in the role of a brave adventurer fighting to survive in a world beset by magic and evil. Will you cut your way through monster-filled ruins and cities rife with political intrigue to emerge as a famous hero laden with fabulous treasure, or will you fall victim to treacherous traps and fiendish monsters in a forgotten dungeon? Your fate is yours to decide with this giant Core Rulebook that provides everything a player needs to set out on a life of adventure and excitement!

This imaginative tabletop game builds upon more than 10 years of system development and an open playtest involving more than 50,000 gamers to create a cutting-edge RPG experience that brings the all-time best-selling set of fantasy rules into the new millennium.

    The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook includes:
  • All player and Game Master rules in a single volume
  • Complete rules for fantastic player races like elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, and half-orcs
  • Exciting new options for character classes like fighters, wizards, rogues, clerics, and more
  • Streamlined and updated rules for feats and skills that increase options for your hero
  • A simple combat system with easy rules for grapples, bull rushes, and other special attacks
  • Spellcaster options for magic domains, familiars, bonded items, specialty schools, and more
  • Hundreds of revised, new, and updated spells and magical treasures
  • Quick-generation guidelines for nonplayer characters
  • Expanded rules for curses, diseases, and poisons
  • A completely overhauled experience system with options for slow, medium, and fast advancement
  • ...and much, much more!

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook is a 576-page full-color hardcover.

The Evolution Continues...
Reviewer: Island Hopper19

It can be said, a true design will reach it's end run. All possibilities have been explored, all avenues have been walked.

But sometimes, those who believed, believed in giving one last HURRAH! Can say in earnest, the exploration is not done...yet

Now...another journey has begun.

3.5....lives on, in Pathfinder.

August!

Be there!

Amazing
Reviewer: kyle whiting

This is definately the game everyone i know will be playing from the moment it is released on! The BETA is absolutely amazing and just a taste of the ambrosia the hardcopy is going to be. I and my friends are so happy to not learn a new system but to have the feeling of freshness added to our game. Thanks Paizo and thank you Pathfinder!

Thank the gods!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewer: Danny Shirley

I cannot wait for this hardcover, I am going to buy two, one for use and one for show. This actually settled my 4.0-3.5 debate. I am staying with 3.5.

This could solve the whole 3.5 vs 4.0 debacle! Please more information as soon as possible. Paizo, you seriously have just made my day!

Awesome! Very, very excited! As its own system, I think I now have my 2009 and beyond RPG-of-choice. Thanks, Paizo!

PS
Any chance of getting autographed copies?

Thank you Paizo! You have made an old (style) gamer very happy today! I was dreading the possibility of me having to get out of fantasy roleplaying altogether once i ran out of the published material I had (have no real interest in learning a whole new system). You have just saved my game and ensured a very loyal customer for years to come. I look forward to the new system and have just placed an order for the new book!

Kamelion (Pathfinder Chronicles Charter Superscriber),

This is just too awesome. I saw the announcement after coming home from gaming last night and was thrilled. Even more excited this morning! I've preordered this and the beta hardcopy as well.

Good luck Paizo!
