Excellent expansion to the Pathfinder rules

5/5

I'm just discovering Pathfinder after being away from 3e for 6-7 years, and love the fact that the ruleset is embracing the "next generation" innovations like manoeuvres, traits, hero points, and here Skill Encounters, the Pathfinder version of the Skill Challenge rules. This little PDF is all you need to introduce cool and crunchy skill-based non-combat challenges into your games; it gives you guideline rules for playing them, hints and tips for writing your own, plus five sample and easily customisable skill encounters for chases, info gathering, haggling, researching, and travelling through trackless wilderness. Highly recommended, as well as its trap-oriented companion volume. I hope to see lots of Skill Encounters appearing all over the forums shortly!

I'm giving this 5/5 for content - there are a few unnecessary typos (like one on the cover page!) which mar an otherwise excellent product!
