Okay, I really appreciate you taking time to explain this to me. Thank you for your time.

If they take so long to finish though how would they sell more adventure paths? Starfinder has 5 out now and it’s only been out for 2 years I believe? Unless ppl just like to stock up and collect (like I personally do) I don’t see if a group is invested in a story already to want to purchase any others until they were finished with their current one.

Okay, thank you for that insight :).

So a 6 part adventure is 22 USD and some change without tax. That’s roughly $140 for a whole adventure. A single D&D adventure is $50 and comes in a nice hardback book. So for the price of one adventure for pathfinder I can nearly buy three D&D adventure books. So why is a single adventure so much more expensive than a D&D one?

Thanks for everyone for all this information. It seems like it’s going to fit my needs and hopefully get my friends to jump into pathfinder as well. So looks like I’ll be picking this up. Thank you for all your insight.

Would it be possible to still convert pathfinder 2e characters into starfinder?

Read on a post that PF2 is a more watered down version of PF1. This concerns me a bit as I went to pathfinder for its more complex rules system. IMO the more rulings you have the more diverse and thematic the gameplay can be.

So with this known should I really get second edition? I don’t have a massive collection of pathfinder books just the core, bestiary 1 GM guide and advanced players guide. I would have collected more but my group really wanted to play D&D because it was simpler so I complied. I finally had to step away from the group as the menial rule system just did not sit with me well. As I said before I enjoy having lots of rulings.

Thanks for any insight anyone can give me.

I just recently purchased the pathfinder adventure card game core set along with the curse of the crimson throne expansion. While playing I’m running into a few problems that some cards to specify too clearly what they mean.

Kobold horde says “if not defeated by at least 4, suffer 1 ranged combat damage.” Does this mean I have to beat it by 4 over the required combat check? Or that if my roll is 4 lower than the required combat check I take the damage?

Kobold sorcerer says “if the check to defeat does not have the attack trait, and you succeed, re roll.” I don’t have a clue what an attack trait is, I couldn’t find it listed on any card or the rule book. As such if I don’t have an attack trait on the check do I just constantly re roll until I fail or does his power only happen once?

Lastly, I’m on the adventure welcome to Belhaim: Scenario 1C: The wizard’s estate. I’m informed that at the end of my move step I need to encounter a random eldritch story bane depending on my roll. I looked all through my story bane cards and could not find any of them with a eldritch label on it. Am I possibly missing cards at all?

You try to defeat the Kobold horde like normal. Then you see if you not only defeated it, but defeated it by at least 4 more. So if your check was like just 2 over, then the card is still defeated, but you take 1 ranged combat damage.

Attack trait appears on certain spells like Lightning Touch. If your using a weapon, for instance, and make the check to defeat, then reroll once and take the new result.
Look on the back of one of the wildcards for the list of Eldritch banes.

Awesome, thanks for the help.
