I would love to know how high-rez these are as .pdfs. My Roll20 game of RAZOR COAST is suffering more than I'd like (aesthetically) because of the surprisingly low resolution on the maps in the campaign book PDF.

Purchased over at Frog God. I'm confused what these are for, because they pixelate before zoomed to a visible inch.

The PDF is meant to print and cut out; you'd essentially need to do the same but on the computer, though exporting images from the PDF may violate the TOS. I'd expect Roll20 and others to have purchasable Pathfinder pawn packs, already separated and named, but I have no clue if they are offered yet.
I can't imagine that you're not allowed to cut and paste out the images to make tokens for virtual table top games. That would pretty well defeat the purpose of the PDFs.

Yeah if that's the case, I've heard this app is good for that then: https://www.rptools.net/toolbox/token-tool/

It's best to think of Amazon as being a cheap but untimely option for Paizo products.

With Starfinder,they seemed to have the highest amount of misprints too. I can't help but wonder if products flawed in some way tend to gravitate toward Amazon, one way or another. I've gotten more "new" bent-up RPG books from them than even other used independent sellers.


While I don't think anyone would complain about more simple characters like skeletons, those are often the easiest and cheapest minis to purchase. 5e/Wizards has a skeleton 3-pack for like $6, for instance. Mixing the two may not be a great aesthetic though, and it is more to purchase unfortunately.


I pre-ordered these at a shop in WA state. What's a rough expected estimate?


WizKids: They definitely do gargantuan paintable minis. Though, at that size and price, you may want to check the toy isle first. ToySmith's Magic Dragon has an okay paint job and though I haven't measured, should be around the right size for a dragon I'd imagine. If not, you could probably make a base for it at the right size.

Yes these are just numers to identify the pawns. They have no game relevance.

Okay, thanks. Do you know if it's printed on both sides?


For example, the 13 on the Deep Gnome Rockwarden must refer to it being 13th in the set?

Pawns don't have stats on them.

Well yeah, that's why I was worried when in the picture above, there's multiple numbers written on the pawns. One number seems to be what number it is in the set though. It just seems oddly distracting.


I'm new to pawns, but why are there stats on the pawns? Doesn't that encourage metagaming?
