I tend to specialize my characters. So my Sajan has +2 dex so far and as far as card/power goes, Id like to eventually get one really good ranged weapon card in my deck (So i can use dex instead of str) that doesnt require me to pick up the weapon skill but im not in a hurry until i see what the weapons available later on look like.

Father zantus is a great card, i have it in mine too. Poog might be a good addition, i dont use allys often. Glad to see there are upgrades to amulet of mighty fists later on.

I'm loving the monk, and everytime i think i have a good route to take with him i start to doubt if a different one is better.

Firstly, buffing my dex die seems the obvious route, thats not really an issue. With so many blessings hes the guy you want to encounter the high combat check mobs.

Its powers and card feat improvements im questioning.

I'm not all that impressed with his basic power feat option. To make my fists magic ...eh...less then important as long as you have the mighty fists amulet. Do i have to choose this (or the card size increase)or can i choose to not take that power feat reward until I unlock my specialization options?

I'm not even sure i want his hand size to get much bigger. 5 seems like the likely best number.

Zen archer seems much better then drunken master but sure its hard to say exactly what these liquid cards will provide later on. for now they are kinda an unimpressive lot.

Card feats....I want at least 1 weapon card, with a good ranged weapon in my deck. Spells? meh...not sure...maybe later.

Not an Amulet of Fists question, but emerged from the topic.

If Sajan uses his power to roll dex die rather than str. Which Blessing is the correct one to play Gorum or Erastril?

Thanks, and I hope this is also covered in the Faq, i've seen it come up in multiple threads at BGG forums as well.

Yeah, we'll have that in the FAQ. "Dexterity-based check" means "a check using your Dexterity die," so he wants Erastil, not Gorum.

Sorry, I dont have the game cards with me, so im a little confused still. Could someone please say what the text is on Erastil and Gorum is so i can apply what hes saying..

You have a link to these free character sheets?

I realize its probably too late to change things for at least the second or third adventure pack, but I think from reading these boards since i bought the game at gencon we have a pretty good idea of some specific changes that should be made to cards for the future. Lets try and consolidate these suggestions to help improve the game.

I see a ton of questions about 'can i use this card in this situation'.

Cards should be more specific if they can be used on other players or at other locations. Maybe use symbols to signify 'self only' or 'all players' and 'this location' or 'any location'. This could probably be pretty easily done without bloating the text on the card using symbols.

I see a lot of questions about 'can i use this card at this time'.

This needs to be alot less ambiguous. the order of operations of a check should be laid out, maybe numbered, then good examples given. I think the biggest problem with the existing rulebook is that it has very few practical examples. One detailed example with lots of modifiers would have answered quite a few of the questions im seeing.

Add to the thread if you have something constructive to add to the discussion.

I'm punching this thread to the top of the list for an official response.. but do i move it 1d10 places up or 1d10 + 1d4 places up???

Does pathfinders have warlocks?

btw, who are the people that respond in this forum that we can take as 'official'

The monk has the suggested starting equipment Amulet of Fists which grants an extra 1d4 magic damage to a strength or meele combat check.

Can this be applied to his unarmed combat check? it says he can use a dex die instead of strength, but does that still qualify as a strength combat check (hes just using a different die). Is the unarmed combat check still a meele check?
