Quick additional resource question


Pathfinder Society


Hey all, I'm trying to find what book I need to have to use the human racial ethnicity (Ulfen, Shaonti, etc). I'm not sure if it's the Inner Sea World Guide, or if the Primer would work.

Just wanting to make sure my characters are all ready for Gencon.

A quick search of the Additional Resources page shows that you probably need the Inner Sea World Guide or Dragon Empires Gazateer.

But this is one character detail where I can almost guarantee nobody's going to ask to see the book, even if they do check your references for everything else.

You only need a book if you are using a specific trait/feat/spell/etc. You can be any of the Golarion human ethnicities without needing a resource as long as it is just "fluff" background detail.

I presume languages known would fall under 'specific etc.'?


Yeah the languages are really the only thing that I'm looking at to make sure I have covered.

All the languages are in the inner sea world guide


Okay thanks Snig. Was thinking of picking that one up anyways, to get a better idea of the area.

It's probably the best pathfinder book you can buy. It has a huge amount of information on the world.

This...and if you can use the PDF it is only $10.

For the setting, it's clearly the best book around. For the game as a whole, I'd call it third behind the Core Rulebook and Advanced Players Guide.

lol, well I have the other two so I guess this one is next, and yeah Snig, I'm going after it as PDF. I got too many other hardcover books, so I've decided to try only getting the "class" books (ones with full classes in them) as hard covers. Everything else is pdfs.


So just looking at stuff. Is the Inner Sea Primer basically just information more for a player while the Inner Sea Guide is more of a setting piece with info for the GM?

The Inner Sea Primer is about a year older (2010 versus 2011). As I understand it, they're not really a GM/player set. The Primer is a reasonable quick introduction, though the Guide is also very handy for a player to own. The Primer has regional traits and some archetypes that I don't think have been printed elsewhere.
