Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Cleric Class Deck

Now available for preorder.

It is not part of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game subscription, but PACG subscribers who order it will receive their subscriber discount on it.

(At least, they will once we fix it on Monday...)

I'd guess Heggal is Eggal from the NPC Codex - a Male Halfling Cleric of Cayden Caylien.

Full rules can be found here in the CR5 (level 6) entry

And fixed.

WHOA!! So is this 4 additional cleric classes that have different powers and skills?? Is it base classes or 2nd tier roles or both? Does it include the original Kyra from the base PACG set?

There are 4 characters (one of which is Kyra). Each character has 1 role card with 2 roles on it that are just for that character. You can't take Heggal's role card and use it with Kyra. So 8 possible combinations in total.

Kyra is in it, but she will be different that RotR Kyra. Probably slightly different in terms of skills, character card powers, and card list. And probably very different with 2 new roles with very different role powers.

Sounds awesome! Looking forward to it =)

I did not find the pictures for any of these clerics in the NPC guide.

This is perhaps why.

Thanks Hawk.

Curious. The additional three characters from all the other Class Decks have art entirely from the NPC Codex. Whereas the additional three on the Cleric Class Deck are all from other sources. I wonder why Clerics are the odd one out?

We just liked these characters better.

Fair enough. My main concern is that I don't have pawns for the Clerics. I like to use my pawns to mark character locations in the card game. I've even gone so far as to use monster pawns when encountered at a location. ^_^

I use the pawns too. Are these clerics in any of the pawn sets?

I would think there are clerics in the NPC Codex box.

I don't believe there are currently pawns for the clerics other than Kyra.

Sorry if this is a little off topic, but is there a thread or any input as to when/if the character add-on classes will get decks? I was pumped after seeing the wizard one come back from gene on, only to realize that neither Seelah or Lini are here.

More class decks are planned for February 2015.

Thank you!

Maybe this has been answered already, but do these new character decks supersede the original character add-on deck?

No. They are completely different.

The character add on deck(s) is specifically designed to tie to a base set, adding a 4 new characters (with a couple of nice cards designed for them) and a bunch of basic cards to allow the set to cover a fifth & sixth character. There is a Rise of the Runelords one for the RotR base set, a Skull & Shackles one for S&S etc. All the cards are designed to be in from the beginning.

The class decks are primrially for organised play, but can be used for other forms of play. Each deck has 4 characters of the same class, with similar but different abilities. They have cards for all levels of the game (basic & 1-6), allowing you to build a full character from it.

Here's another question: Are the cards in the Class deck a subset of the cards in the base sets and expansions, or are there cards in the class deck that do not appear in the base sets and expansions?

Some are cards that appeared in Rise of the Runelords, some appear in Skull and Shackles, and some are new. (Speaking generally about all the class decks, not this particular deck.)

The class decks are primrially for organised play, but can be used for other forms of play.

The word "primarily" there is incorrect. While a Class Deck is required for our organized play program, it was designed just as much to be an accessory to any PACG Adventure Path. Frankly, I expect that more people will use them as accessories than in the OP program.

Is it possible to get a list of the cards you get in this product so I can make a more informed decision about which add-on and class decks I want to buy first?

For each class deck, if you download the character sheets, you'll get a list of all the boons that appear in the deck and can check out all the characters too. You can download those here.

Each PACG product also now has a downloadable card list linked from the product description.

I looked through the Cleric listing and noticed something confusing to me. My understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) is that I will acquire boons in normal play, but then cycle in boons from class deck of equivalent power to the boon I acquired in play. In fact you can only use cards from your deck. Working under that assumption, I have a question about the character Zarlova.

One of the roles you can choose is Theurge. In both the flavor, and the abilities, this should be a mix of divine and arcane casting. And yes, she gets arcane intelligence +2. However, none of the cards in the cleric deck are arcane (or strictly arcane at least). So, she can't really cast arcane spells?

Am I understanding this correctly? Thanks!

Does Tarlin have an entry in any of the Pathfinder books? I'm coming up with nothing and I'd like to learn more about his backstory, assuming he's actually an established character.

As far as I know, Tarlin has only been given an actual identity (name and backstory) in the card game. His artwork came the book Inner Sea Gods to depict a follower of Iomedae. The same is true for Zarlova who is the artwork for Nethys' follower in the book.
