Myth Merchant Press is proud (and relieved) to release the SORD PF game aid for The Pathfinder Role Playing Game.
With this aid, your combats will run much faster, you will preserve your beautiful core rulebook because you won't be flipping pages as often, and you can be a master of the rules without having to memorize any of the fluff along the way.
For more information, please check SORD PF here.
Bought!

me too. looks very useful, but it will be quite a while until I can test it.
I have the version from when Pathfinder was in Beta, but bought well after Pathfinder full-release came out. Wish there was an upgrade for those who already bought the beta version from there. :/

To be honest, I wrestled with just updating SORD Plus, but I realized there were significant changes - even things like Channel Energy - that brought it to the threshold of a new product. Just updating the Weapons tables took a good 10 hours. I added a ton of things to it.
On the flip side - any updates to SORD PF will be free - and I sooo want to add some things!I will keep the price down to $3.95 while PaizoCon is running this weekend and maybe through the next, but the sale will end soon.

Just a note...the SORD bundle is priced barely more than the SORD PF alone. So if you still play 3.5 (or other d20 games) it might be worth it.
That's what I did. Printed both of them, and placed all the SORDs in a 50-pages plastic sheet holder, along the old acetate spell templates from the RPGA/DDM games.
Voila, DM essentials package!
And bought - many thanks! :)

Ah well. I personally thought the whole thing was dead in the water given the last file update on the beta version. A big caveat emptor error on my behalf.
I already own(ed) the 3.5 and the Beta (bought them at the same time). If I miss out on the sale, then I miss out on the sale. C'est la vie on my part. Good luck nonetheless. People will enjoy the product. :)

Me too. I was beginning to think you guys were out of business, so I am really happy to see you still here.
Found a bug....
Page 10:
Maneuver Resolution
Ø Roll a d20 and add the CMD and all bonuses. If the roll equals or exceeds the target’s CMD, the maneuver succeeds.
Should be Roll a d20 and add the CMB (Bonus) etc.

I went ahead and grabbed the bundle although I really only needed the PF version. (Yeah, I could have bought it separately, but I'm a sucker for bundle discounts.)
Our group is one of those rare few that never transitioned from 3.0 to 3.5 -- I don't suppose back in the Dark Ages you did a SORD for 3.0? Nah, didn't think so.

I've been busy writing the 4e version of the 'War of the Burning Sky'. That and some health issues have put other things on the back burner.
Bought the SORD pf the other day and on the whole I am very impressed.
One glaring omission though is the AC bonuses for armour which still state the values for 3.0/3.5 not Pathfinder where medium and heavy armour got an uplift of one point (i.e. Full Plate is listed as +8, whereas in Pathfinder it is now +9).
Hopefully this will be corrected soon so I can download the new version :)

Yep, I will be doing an update. A few other items have popped up and I will be releasing a rev 1.1 soon.
I have just uploaded rev 1.1 which corrects a few problems. You should see update messages if you set them in your purchasing preferences.
Another thing I just noticed. The links from the point to the next page, ie. Unusual Terrain I should point to page 25, but it takes me to page 26. All of the links are one off like that one.

Funny,
I just tried the same and came up with the expected results. I am using a different form of link from InDesign.Can you try this? Make the view be a full page and when you scroll, it always goes to the next page.
Then try the links. It should go right to the proper page.
I'd like to know what this test reveals.
Ok. latest version of Foxit.
Full page scroll, and full page display the links work. The full page scroll is ok, but my eyes can't take the full page display (type is too small). This is the only PDF where I have this issue, but it works correctly with the scroll settings you set, so I'll just deal with it.

I'll see what can be done in a future release. Some of this seems to be Adobe-related.
Purchases it I already owned the 3.5 version
Im seeing one thing that reads weird tell me if its just me
On Page 4
Initiative Procedure
Make Dex Check
Each combatant makes a Dexterity check. Apply
your Dexterity modifier to the roll. Record the roll.
Is it a dex check what about initiative bonuses shouldnt it an initiative check
for long time players this doesnt matter but for newbies it might or is it just me?

The rules on pg. 178 say it is a dexterity check. What I forgot to mention in the text was to add any modifiers to that roll from racial bonuses, feats and what-not. I will clarify that in release 1.2.

SORD was originally intended to be a *combat* helper. I made a decision that Knowledge skills are not normally part of combat. I can pretty much guarantee that it would span at least 2 pages (if not more), and might put it in if there is enough call. Rev 1.2 will add ability buff/damage/drain info and fix any other errors that crop up. I am also looking at the poisons and they will probably be added.
Excellent stuff. All the GMs for PaizoCon UK are receiving copies.I'll check it out there then. Sample looked good. Not sure how much of an improvement on the GM screen it is.
Noticed no knowledge (XXX) skill section (sample p2), that comes up a lot in play.

The biggest thing with knowledge skills that would probably be useful is which skills identify the different creature types and a short run down of how the DC is derived.
Version 1.2 will have a 'Knowledge Checks' section (right after Use Magic Device). I will also pepper some of the other pages with check information where appropriate.
Also, from now on, when a page is modified, a small text entry on the lower inside edge will identify which rev it was modified on. It will be on its own layer so it can be hidden. That will make it much easier to figure out which pages need to be reprinted when an update happens.
Is this going to be available at Paizo? I don't have a problem buying from RPGNow, it's just nice to have my downloads in one place.

Thank you! That will really help my beleaguered ink budget!
I love it. It's so clear and awesome and all. BUT where's Survival? So many other skills are represented and there's enough room on the last page after Use Magic Device so why not Survival? It's such an often used skill and it wants to be loved too. Knowledge - Engineering could care less, it's a cold b!$&!y skill but Survival wants to be used and loved and represented. Just thought I'd make a passing reference...

The original intent of SORD was to act as a combat helper, not a full-session companion. Survival never felt "combaty" enough to gain entrance into these pages. I'll consider it though.
Purchased! Loved the beta version and I love this one.
Issue: Links on ToC go to one page ahead. e.g. pg 4 link -> pg 5
I have ver.1.1 and am using Foxit ver. 2
Thanks!

I agree about Survial but with the Knowlegdes tied to the monsters you are fighting I can see why the Knowlegdes should be in the SORD
I just uploaded Revision 1.2. Enjoy!
I notice that some of the listed skills explicitly state that you can Take 10 and/or 20, others say you can't Take 20, but for some there is no mention either way.
"Can I Take 20?" is one of the more frequently asked questions at my table and I always have to stop and consider...is there a penalty for failure?
Saw the changes great job, I was hoping on Knowledges you would list what monster types are from what monsters, cause thats the biggest combat part of the knowledges

I didn't include that in the skills because I am concentrating on the combat side. No one Takes 20 in combat!
The common ones to "Take 20" on are Disable Device (to open locks), Escape Artist, and Perception (searching for traps).I play it that anyone with Disable Device will know not to Take 20 on any device that has a damage or condition effect.
Also keep in mind that you cannot be in a threat situation and you can't be distracted - hard to do in combat!

I'll see about making a little list, but space is getting tight! The way I see it, such info happens extremely early - possibly before Initiative is rolled. As a DM, I would add that info to my notes and then consult the Skills 11 page when the players begin asking questions.

Thanks Steve I think that is the most important part of the knowledges I would reduce some of the other stuff you have on Knowledges to list this.

Thank you for the update!
I am not receiving the update e-mail, so I really appreciate you posting here.Best.

I have ver.1.1 and am using Foxit ver. 2Thanks!
I'm experiencing the same behavior with ver 1.2. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks.

I'm still trying to figure out how InDesign is doing the links. I know that if you set your view to full page, the links work perfectly. I'll keep plugging away at it.
