Enemies abound, and finding them is no difficult task in this dangerous world. Thankfully there are plenty of brave adventurers willing to pit themselves against those that raid and pillage society. This collection of dozens of pawns features groups of common enemies to use with the Pathfinder RPG or any tabletop fantasy roleplaying game, as well as a selection of useful terrain features to bring your encounters to life on the map. Printed on sturdy cardstock, each pawn contains a beautiful full-color image and slots into a size-appropriate plastic base from any of the Pathfinder Pawns: Bestiary Box collections, making them easy to mix with traditional metal or plastic miniatures. The Enemy Encounters Pawn Collection is the best way to ensure that you've got enough threats to throw at your player's characters in every Pathfinder Roleplaying Game encounter!

Very Useful!

5/5 —

There are two things that the Enemy Encounters Pawn Collection is really useful for.

First, large groups of enemies! If you want to represent an entire orc warband, a xulgath (troglodyte) tribe, a large duergar slaving party, and more, this is the set for you. Each monstrous species is given multiple numbers of variations within the group, so (just for example) the Ogre Family has 4 ogre archers, 4 ogre berserkers, 3 ogre killers, 3 ogre strikers, and an ogre patriarch. It's a great way to quickly populate a mini-dungeon or cave network on the fly. I used the Haunted Graveyard pawns (ghouls, skeletons, zombies, and the animating necromancer) for a hastily-planned encounter and it worked really well.

Second, traps and obstacles! There are several pawns (both 1x1 square and 1x2 square) that are designed to lay flat to represent traps and obstacles. For traps, there are classics like floor spikes and pits. For obstacles, things like rock barricades, piles of bones, and headstones can help add some interesting features to a grid map. I've found the caltrop and bear trap pawns particularly useful.

The set is very different than Paizo's standard pawn collections, and definitely worth getting.

Convincing final non-AP pawn set

5/5 —

No review yet? Alright. This set covers 8 different groups of monsters and adds a page of dungeon decor on top of it. It can be seen as Paizo's offer for people who missed the (awesome) Monster Codex Pawn Box, and it does pretty well as a replacement.

From my gut feeling half of the art is actually new for pawns. Several pieces seem to be exclusive for this set, actually. Multiple new duergar pawns are quite impressive, I am also a fan of of some skeletons (for example the dual-wiedling one from Mythic Adventures). Kobold lashers look like they enjoy their job, the ogre patriarch is really convincing and the bad*** orc brawlers beg to be thrown against your players (or played by one of them, heh).

For a collector, getting even more goblin dogs and zombies is not much of a gain - that's a minor thing, though. Also, the single page of dungeon decor might be not enough, if you design your areas first and then look for fitting pawns - it should work better if you build around the existing material. Or you give in to Paizo's marketing move (making you used to decor) and already buy their decor sets. ;)

So overall, it's a pretty good set with multiple gems.

Announced for June! Image and description are provisional and subject to change prior to release.

Hey!!! I just suggested this in another thread. I'm curious to see which enemies are included!

When I put together this set, my plan was to make it complimentary to the very popular and sold out Monster Codex Pawn Box. The first seven sheets of these pawns feature a group of like monstrous enemies, and the final sheet is some useful terrain tiles so that you can set up battles on a Flip-Mat. I hope folks like this collection.

That sounds really good, Adam!

So we are looking at about seven different groups of creatures plus trees or something alike?
Can you maybe tell us a little bit about the creature types - are all "monstrous humanoids" plus maybe a few slave creatures?

For instance (inspired by the temporal cover): Troglodytes with a few giant lizards? ;-)
Thank you for your time.

One of the sheets contains two different groups due to size and the die. There are a few accompanying critters, but it's mainly humanoid foes. The set includes many of the same creatures in Monster Codex: duergar, troglodytes, orcs, gnolls, kobolds, ogres, mixed goblinoids, and then a sheet of undead.

Are they the same art work or new?

There's a mix of new art and art picked up from previous publications.

I have every pawn ever made for PF and love them all! I wish that you guys would either make some dividers or collaborate with another company and have them do it. With thousands and thousands of pawns now there is no good organization solution and I would rather just have dividers and keep them all in the boxes they came in.

It does require keeping the cutout sheets they come with, but I've found the best storage solution to be File Cases and Letter Files. I store each collection in one Case (with the covers visible from the outside, including the pawn lists) with each sheet in an individual Letter File:

Front view

Rear view

Pawn sheets

Combined View

Not sure how understandable that is, but it's a cheap and really easy way to keep pawns filed but easily accessible.

Gimme. Gimme. Gimme!

I keep my pawns in the big boxes as well. I will say that the new cover that comes with the smaller sets makes it easy to keep the pawns in the original casing as well.

What brand of File Cases and Letter Files do you use? I've looked at some options on Amazon but reviews said they were a pretty flimsy plastic.

The letter files are Keji. Not sure on the cases - they’re labelled “Twinkle Aquadrops”. I suspect Aquadrops is the brand name.

The plastic sheets are reasonably flimsy, I guess but a packet of 50 files is around $7USD. That’s enough for six pawn collections and I haven’t had to replace any yet. The cases are sturdy.

Thanks for the great suggestion! Unfortunately after years of opening pawn boxes like a giddy schoolgirl, I am afraid the first thing I do is pop the pawns out and trash the cut out sheets. :(

I suppose this made more sense than just reprinting the very much still in demand Monster Codex box? I look forward to having it, but I'm still sad to have missed out on the original box...

It did. Pawn box reprints are not viable, because they won't sell in a volume which would allow them to be produced at a cost that warrants the usual price.

It doesn'T ... this will add dozens of monster I already own ...
won't buy it

Monster codex is the best pawn box ever made

Looking forward to grabbing this and getting extra copies.

I personally use tobacco card binder pages, they're like trading card binder pages (which I use for large creatures) but with smaller pockets, 20 to a page. it seems like the ones i use for huge pawns were intended for post card collectors but i can't remember for sure

Just curious, it was mentioned that this is both old and new art... is it possible that it includes some 2E art (for example new kobold design)? Or is it geared more towards 1E designs?

The latter.

I was looking through the Pathfinder Paper Minis, and found this Pathfinder Pawn Set included there. Pretty sure that it was out of place there!

Just received it in the mail. I love this one Adam! I will no longer cry for the Monster Codex reprint! this one has it all! :)

--> the Duergar section is mind-blowing btw... was there an AP inspiration for the Duergar King and the Duergar Queen? (I might even start my homebrew again to justify the use of these pawns... :) )

(shout out to the ogre section as well, as it caught my eye immediately! I'm sure the other sections are great too, but I didn't have to squint at the ogres so much... :P )

Awesome! I'm glad you like it. I've been eagerly waiting to see the response to this collection.

As for your duergar king and queen question, there wasn't any AP inspiration for those two.

Just a straight out artist commission? not based on module even? wow... this artist has really outdone themselves!

Yeah, they came out pretty rad.

Exact Art Brief:
Duergar King: This is a male duergar king. He is wearing dark full plate armor and a dark cape that flows down his back. He should have heavy jewelry around his neck and there should be other embellishments that make him look regal, but still evil. He is holding a two-handed hammer.

Duergar Queen: This is a female duergar queen. She is wearing dark gray and purple robes that look fancy but still evil. She should also have jewelry and other embellishments that make her look regal. She is holding a wicked-looking staff.

This is a really nice set of pawns. It's the perfect army builder for anyone that missed the Monster Codex set. Combine it with something like the Ironfang Invasion set, which has the goblinoids you need, and you have a wide selection of enemy groups to throw at your players.

Why did this product have such a short lifespan? Any hope of a reprint?

It didn't have a short life span, it's a five year old product. They've discontinued the pawns line with the only things they plan to continue printing being the three Bestiary pawn sets for Pathfinder 2E
