I'm currently playing in a Pathfinder game in a World of Warcraft setting. My wife and I are hosting the weekly game sessions at our home every Friday and last week no one brought over any minis (it was the first time having it at our place, we just moved into our new house). It wasn't a big deal for our GM and most of the players, most of the time. I used to play with my GM in another game and we never used a combat mat for that. But this is a large group (6 PCs and 2 minions) so there is a lot to keep track of. So to make sure we always have tokens to use, and so I have them for future use with other games, I'm planning to pick up some Pathfinder Pawn collections.
I want to get most of my stuff from my local game store, but the owner will have to special order them and they will take longer than a week to come in. For now, the Hastings in my town has some pawns in stock so I'm going to pick some up after work today. I've already decided on getting the Bestiary 2 Box (Bestiary 3 was the only other with-bases set they had), but they also had three Adventure Path collections in stock last time I checked:
Shattered Star
Skull & Shackles
Reign of Winter
In addition to the Bestiary 2 Box, I only want to get one of these from Hastings and want to make sure they will be helpful in the current game. We are playing during Cataclysm, but the Adventure Path pawns are mainly going to hopefully give the PCs some good choices to represent their characters (I really wish they still had the NPC Codex Pawns). Here is what the party is made up of right now:
Goblin (male) Alchemist, specializing in bombs, traps, and magic items
Blood Elf (female) Summoner with large devil-like eidolon
Blood Elf (female) Fighter, finesse scimitar free hand
Blood Elf (male) Oracle of Life
Jungle Troll (male) Spell-less Ranger with wolf companion
The 6th PC was killed last week and the player hasn't decided what to make to replace his tauren fighter with yet. Anyone have any recommendations? It would be greatly appreciated. If anyone wants to recommend any other pawn collections (other than Bestiary 1 and NPC Codex) that I should have special ordered that would also be welcomed. Thank you!
