What a Pathfinder truly needs...

5/5 —

If there is any one book to have, it is this one. It is the only Pathfinder book you will ever need to start playing, but if you're like me you'll eventually want more.

When I first learned of tabletop RPGs my attention turned to D&D even though I knew next to nothing about it, nor did I know of anyone who played it. I only knew it because it was the name everyone knew when someone said "tabletop RPG" and the answer wasn't "what is that?" I wanted to play it but I didn't know where to start. I was lost, forlorn, and alone.

Then, one fateful day, I met someone online who told me about Pathfinder. I took one look at the Core Rulebook and I never looked back, and to this day I don't regret the decision one bit. The Core Rulebook is a solid start to any aspiring tabletop gamer's adventure and is a must own not only for the abundance of useful information it provides but also for the clean presentation and the magnificent art provided by Wayne Reynolds.

In short, if you want to play Pathfinder and haven't already, pick this book up immediately. It is well worth it.

Legendary

5/5 —

Legendary. It’s hard to know where to begin to review this book, but that one word encapsulates it well. There’s a reason Pathfinder is thriving a decade into its existence, and it all starts here. If you don’t know anything about Pathfinder, you can think of it as a revised and improved version of a specific edition of D&D (the “3.5” edition). Its strength is the nearly infinite capacity for customization, and its weakness is that enormous customization introduces complexity. In other words, this is a “crunch heavy” instead of a “rules light” game. Trust me, it’s worth it though. This is going to be a long review because I’ve got fifteen chapters to cover in this massive, 575-page book! If you don’t have the patience to read through the whole review, the conclusion makes it clear: buy this book. With this and the Bestiary, you have years of adventure at your fingertips.

Chapter 1 is “Getting Started” (12 pages). This chapter contains a brief introduction to the game, an overview of each chapter, a glossary of common terms, an example of play (very useful if this is your first RPG ever), and the rules for generating ability scores for a character (how physically and mentally capable they are).

Chapter 2 is “Races” (11 pages). The “Core” races presented here are: Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, Halflings, and Humans. As you would imagine, there are advantages and disadvantages to each race. The chapter spends a page on each race, and beyond the rules ramifications it takes care to talk about what members of that race typically look like, what their culture is like, why they often become adventurers, and how they relate to other races. It’s not an overwhelming amount of information (which is good for new players). For the most part, these races stick to fairly standard fantasy expectations.

Chapter 3 is “Classes” (57 pages). There are eleven “core classes” presented in this book: Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard. The spread of classes does an excellent job covering different play-styles and roles within a group. The power level of these classes has been significantly bumped up from D&D 3.5, and there are a lot more choices to be made within each class. This makes the classes more complex, but also more satisfying to see advance up through each level. If you’re brand-new to Pathfinder, it might be good to stay away from spell-casters like the Druid, Cleric, Sorcerer, and Wizard until you get more experience, as the sheer number of choices to be made can be overwhelming at first.

Chapter 4 is “Skills” (27 pages). Skills are something that every character has and they determine the likelihood of success in doing certain things. Want to leap from one rooftop to another? Roll an Acrobatics check. Want to figure out what spell that evil wizard just cast at you? Roll a Spellcraft check. Different classes get bonuses to using particular skills, but every character, regardless of class, can become good at something if they invest their “skill points” in a particular skill. Pathfinder has condensed the number of skills slightly from D&D 3.5, though it still has more than newer RPGs tend to have. I like the diversity and ability to specialize in discrete areas, but some think there should have been further consolidation. Each skill is described with great detail on specifically what it allows you to do and not do, which is quite helpful in avoiding rules arguments.

Chapter 5 is “Feats” (29 pages). Feats are special abilities. Every character gets to choose one feat at every odd level, and some classes and races get “bonus” feats. A feat might be something that lets you fight better in darkness (“Blindfighting”) or it might be something that makes certain spells you cast more effective (“Spell Focus”). There are several dozen feats to choose from, so this can be one of the parts of character creation that takes the longest to do. Their value, again, is that they allow for enormous customization of a character. Just because there are two Fighters in the party doesn’t mean they’ll be identical, because feats allow them to operate in very different ways!

Chapter 6 is “Equipment” (16 pages). Your character will need a weapon, maybe some armor, and some other gear like a backpack or a coil of rope. But in addition, you might wonder how expensive a night’s stay at an inn is, or how much it’ll cost to persuade a local wizard to cast a spell for you. All of the answers are in this chapter. I really appreciate that every item and service isn’t just listed on a table with a price, but in addition most receive a description, a picture, and (sometimes) additional rules to explain how it works in actual gameplay.

Chapter 7 is “Additional Rules” (13 pages). The title of this chapter isn’t particularly helpful, as the entire book consists of rules. Really, it’s a miscellany of various things about your character. First up is Alignment, which is whether your character is good, evil, or somewhere in between. A lot of other RPGs dispense with such questions, but it is “hard-coded” into Pathfinder in the sense that it’s not just a role-playing choice: many spells, magic items, and other effects change depending on a character’s alignment. Next, there’s a few pages on “Vital Statistics” like determining a character’s age, height and weight, and (most importantly) carrying capacity (also known as “encumbrance”). If your character has a low Strength score, don’t expect him or her to be able to carry a lot of gear. Then, there’s a discussion of movement speeds in various contexts (in the course of a combat encounter, for example, or for travelling great distances overland). Last, a bunch of little things are covered under the title “Exploration”: how far characters can see in different levels of light, how to determine if an object can be intentionally broken, etc. It’s a chapter that’s easy to overlook but provides answers to a lot of “little things” that might come up during a session.

Chapter 8 is “Combat” (29 pages). Combat is a major part of Pathfinder, and there’s admittedly a lot to digest in a short number of pages here. The way the chapter is laid out isn’t necessarily intuitive, and later Paizo products (like the Strategy Guide) do a much better job making combat clearer. You’ll find everything you need in this chapter, but you’ll be flipping back and forth for a while. I’ve been playing for years and I still refer to it occasionally.

Chapter 9 is “Magic” (19 pages). This chapter discusses different categories of spells, how characters learn them, and how to read a spell entry in the next chapter. It’s a chapter that’s easy to skip over at first, but is actually pretty important once a campaign gets serious.

Chapter 10 is “Spells” (156 pages). You read that right: about a quarter of the book consists of an alphabetical list and description of several hundred different spells! The spells have been cleaned up and improved from D&D 3.5 for better gameplay, but what hasn’t changed is that magic still rules. If pure power is what you want, play a true spell-caster and you’ll find it.

Chapter 11 is “Prestige Classes” (23 pages). Prestige Classes are special classes that characters can eventually take, well into their adventuring careers, if they meet certain prerequisites. This book has ten of them: Arcane Archer, Arcane Trickster, Assassin, Dragon Disciple, Duelist, Eldritch Knight, Loremaster, Mystic Theurge, Pathfinder Chronicler, and Shadowdancer. For the most part, and until very recent, Pathfinder hasn’t been a game where prestige classes thrive. Apart from some specific flavour reasons, a character would usually be better off simply continuing in their base class rather than taking levels in a prestige class.

Chapter 12 is “Gamemastering” (15 pages). As its title indicates, this chapter helps the person running a game (the “Gamemaster” or “GM”) prepare an adventure, referee the rules, deal with common problems at the table, etc. It’s okay for what it is, but I’ve seen better resources to help new GMs figure out what they’re doing.

Chapter 13 is “Environment” (39 pages). This chapter contains a lot of little things to help make the setting interesting. It contains rules on weather, travelling through the wilderness, dealing with traps, and so forth. It’s primarily for the GM too and shouldn’t be a priority to master until more fundamental rules are digested.

Chapter 14 is “Creating NPCs” (11 pages). This chapter gives rules for creating background (non-player) characters by using “NPC classes” like a Commoner. I have to admit I never use this chapter, as I just rely on NPC stat blocks already generated in other Pathfinder products.

Chapter 15 is “Magic Items” (101 pages). Your adventurer is going to want some cool magic gear, and this chapter explains what it does, how much it costs, and how it’s made. It’s pretty extensive and detailed.

Last up, there are appendices summarizing “Special Abilities”, “Conditions” (status effects a character might be under), “Inspiring Reading”, and “Game Aids” (other products you can purchase).
The Core Rulebook is a hefty tome for an RPG book. For players coming from D&D 3.5, it’s basically a combination of the Player’s Handbook and the Dungeon Master’s Guide in a single volume, but refined and improved. The book is, with the single exception of the deities, completely “setting neutral” (that is, it’s suitable for play in any campaign world or a homemade setting). There’s some excellent artwork taken from other Paizo products mixed in with some artwork that’s more pedestrian. Still, the production quality overall is fantastic. I would normally go into more detail, but there are hard word counts on these reviews. So I’ll sum up by saying: this is the one book you won’t leave home without, and it’s worth every penny.

Special Note: The Core Rulebook was recently released in a smaller softcover. The interior is exactly the same as the sixth printing of the hardcover, but it’s lighter and easier to carry. I’ve been using it for a few months now, and I’m quite happy with the font size, reduced price, durability, and ease of use.

Pathfinder's Heart

5/5 —

This book is at the heart of all Pathfinder games. It is great and can be picked up regularly cheap with sales all over. (Humble Bundle 1$) I myself have a PDF but plan to pickup a hardcopy one day. Either one will do the trick and is always good to keep handy. I like the PDF because you can do keyword searches. Even if you don't ever use it. The cover art is pretty awesome.

A Fresh Start

5/5 —

After years of seeing the Pathfinder rule books on the shelves of my FLGS, I took the plunge in December of 2012. I bought the Core Rulebook and began skimming it immediately. My first discovery was the character creation rules. They were fun! Characters were cool in a way that I hadn't seen in previous editions of the world's oldest role-playing game. Within three months, I was up and running my first Pathfinder adventure. That was three years ago and I have no regrets getting involved with the Pathfinder system.

There are also some Combat Feats that need clarification, such as Whirlwind Attack (either it works similar to Great Cleave or it's attack one roll against everyone?). Also, some Combat Feats refer to 'Full-Round Action' and others to 'Full-Attack Action', which leaves a bit unclear if you can combine them (or even some that work as 'Standard Actions', such as using 'Cleave' and 'Backswing' at the same time).

Or maybe it's just me?

[derail]

Two other feats that need clarification are Vital Strike and Improved Vital Strike -- I know how you guys intend these feats to work, but it's not crystal-clear the way it's written ("roll damage three times but do not multiply it if it's a crit") and may confuse new players. I think it would be better to say "Roll damage three times, but apply bonuses only once. If it is a critical hit, multiply only one of those rolls with the bonuses." (or something to that effect).

Also, some of the feats (Overhand Chop, Cleave, etc.) lose their usefulness at some point because they require Standard Action to use... I'd like to combine some of them with Charge, but apparently it's not possible? All of these feats read to me requiring a *separate* standard action (i.e. standard action spent on "activating" the feat and its effect) instead of "Can be used as part of any Standard Action or Full Attack Action". Ergo, you could use only of them per round, if I'm reading it correctly... was this intended?

And, I'd like Power Attack and Combat Expertise to be exclusive in the same round, i.e. if you're using Power Attack you can't use Combat Expertise and vice versa.

A Full-Attack Action is where you get all your normal attacks in one round. A Full Round Action is where a special attack takes up the whole round, giving you just one attack that round. For example: Vital Strike takes a full round because you are taking extra time to aim at a specific spot on your opponent that will cause the most damage. The up side is you do more damage when you hit; the down side is if you miss you are done for the round.

For what it's worth, during the playtest I specifically pointed out which FAQ questions had not yet been clarified in Pathfinder, and Jason said he'd take it under advisement.

Hmmm... yes, that's true... which means that you can't use any of the Feats saying "as a Standard/Full-Round Action..." during the same round, i.e. no Cleave with Vital Attack.

I think it still needs to be clarified in the books.

Our sunday D&D group love Pathfinder and I cannot wait to get my hands on the Core rulebook when it's finally out!

This will no doubt seem like a pretty dumb question, but does the PFRPG corebook completely replace the PHB and DMG of 3.5? As in, cover _everything_ that might be necessary fom both of those books? So all I would need after that is the Bestiary, in other words? I just haven't heard anything definite either way, so far.

I hope it does, because in this country, it will cost exactly the same as those two 3.5 books, which is just fine, and it sounds likely...

Also, if that is the case, in what ways will this book be better than the 3.5 DMG, as a DMG?

The PFRPG more or less completely replaces the 3.5 PH, and mostly replaces the 3.5 DMG. Some of the advice and campaign building material from the DMG won't be duplicated in the PFRPG, but that material is more or less edition neutral.

All you will need to run the game is the PFRPG and the Bestiary, really. We are very likely to be releasing new products to support the rules after they come out, but those products will focus on expanding the rules or providing advice and stuff rather than be actual core rulebooks.

As for if the book will be better... that's going to be a matter of personal opinion, I suppose. I think the PF RPG is gonna be better, of course! :)

I have no doubt it will be. I'm more excited about this book than anything since the 1st edition books I got when I was a kid.

If anyone reading this missed out on the Beta playtest, let me say it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It proved to me that Paizo is taking the game where it wants to go (if you imagine the game having a life of its own).

I commend Jason Bulmahn for involving the community in the game design, and for his diligent and thoughtful attention to the many threads in the playtest. Jason's work has already been outstanding: The PF Beta received the gold ENnie award for "best free product or web enhancement" in 2008 (link). Looking at his past work in Dungeon magazine, and Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk (one of my favorites), I feel very confident that PF RPG is in the right hands.

Anyone who loved Dungeon or Dragon magazine owes it themselves to get this book. 560-page full-color hardcover! Thank you, Paizo!

I think so too, by the way. The RPG system, writing and presentation all look fantastic, and the things I've tried (races, classes and CMB mostly) have worked really well.

Thanks for answering - it's cleared up the uncertainty I had. Just couldn't for the life of me remember hearing one way or the other, that was all.

Truth be told, I was going to buy the book anyway. But now I know exactly what I'm getting for sure, and feel more secure about it, as a bonus.

I really hope they give us a few ideas on what has been changed since the Beta. They don't have to go into full details, but some ideas on what is probably going to be changed will make conversions to the final product a lot easier, and will also help Dm's know what sort of things they need to focus more on learning. Also, it would be a nice little treat to see how things are going. I can't wait.

I think that the community will have some list or other of the myriad little changes from 3.5 itself made before 2010 at least!

I hope so, it'd be a great resource for the rules!

We're still finishing the book off, and therefore it's foolish to start talking about changes to the Beta and how the final game is shaping up until the book is set in stone.

That "set in stone" date is VERY close, though.

You can expect to start seeing previews, hints, and spoilers for the PF RPG to start showing up on our blog in a few weeks, I would guess.
