I recommend this to anybody that likes to have a any potential situation covered and if you're one of the GM's that are all about preparation - this is a must have.
I bought the Family Pack of these and opened them the following week. A minor issue was quickly resolved by Paizo and Tinkered Tactics. This 5 star review is for both the response from the company and the actual game play use.
The actual product is superb. I have been buying flying Heroclick for a while and then using coke caps as a base to show case a flying character. No height was represented, but at least the character is off the ground. It works fairly well. I also have the Elevator Wizard (two of them) and they're OK. The main problem there is that the base is fairly narrow and at a couple inches tall, I'm always worried a "good" mini will fall. For it's height indication, it has scored marks and a colored ribbon to indicate height.
These Combat Tiers are not like either my modified Heroclick or EW. These are bad ass. There's a PFS module that takes place in the Darklands and is in an inverted pryamid. These will work perfectly. You'd show the highest level as actually being the "ground floor."
But for everyday usage involving almost any sort of level indication, these are your best bet. If you don't have the battlements of the castle wall, you have two flying creatures battling it out, you have someone floating on the water, someone flying above the water and a group under the water, you can get it covered (this can happen in one of the Carrion Crown mods). Trust me, it would have made setting up that module a cinch had I had these and not my trusty modified Heroclick.
I contacted Paizo CS and finally Tinkered Tactics. All communication was swift between Paizo and TT through and to me. Their final response was actually way over the top and much more than I'd expected as a resolution.
The story is one of adventure - in which gamers will easily connect. The novel reads easily, with just enough flavor to bring the world to life and not burden the reader with minute details.
Unlike the two previous PF Tales books, the magical spells and combat are right out of the Core Rulebook, yet with clear repercussions instead of the abstract nature of hit points.
The World of Golarion is filled with nefarious places shaped by gods and heroes from a time history has forgotten. Yet, the heroes of the modern world must fight modern politics as well as the consequences of time - and stand for something along the way.
HAJ has proven his worth among well known fantasy RPG authors with this novel.
