My concern is that novices do not have the same access to book resources as experienced players. One of the things that drew me to Pathfinder was that I needed 2 books- the RPG and the bestiary. Now I need the APG, ultimate combat, magic and equipment to create the character. Should there be a novice track for those with less than 10 sessions?
You make it sound like you need all those books just to survive. A human archer ranger straight from the Core Rulebook is still one of the most powerful builds you can possibly make in PFS.
Novices I said. and a party of human rangers is boring. The edges in early builds, offered are more critical when dealing in resources at level 1 and 2. If the modules are built to challenge experienced, knowledgeable players with full gaming resources, what does that do to the newcomer, especially at cons? what about someone who wants to be one of the nonranger classes? How do you know what to defend against or is possible without all those books? I don
t know about you but missing something I could have read is my bad. Missing something in a book I don't yet know exisits is another.
Again I pose the question that you did not answer, should there be a novice track. I say this having player a 1st level bard in a 5-7 level scenario that not only survived but contributed to the group in my first society scenario.
