I want them to make this, I know there are some great utilities out there for spell cards...but I prefer a ready made product as I am lazy and have a terrible printer.

Please make this Paizo

We have talked about this but haven't announced any product yet. I personally would love to have them, so consider this a +1 to your post. :)

Huzzah!! I too am all for this. Spell cards bring back fond memories of Hero Quest(and MUCH EASIER RUN WIZARDS!!!).


+1

I think they'd surpass item card sales. Of course I'm just guessing, but they'd be super useful


I'm completely on board with this. I still have my Priest and Wizard decks from 2nd edition!

So long as they sold as a complete set and not randomized packs, I'd be interested in this.

Non-randomized? Darn it, there goes my evil plot to get more and more of everyone's money! 1st level spells are the most common and they get progressively more rare as you go up in level, with 9th level spells being almost impossible to find, with only one card per case! But I have been found out. <sniff> I guess, if we do this product, we'll have to go the non-randomized route. There goes my vacation home in Italy. <sniff>

Do a Pathfinder CCG with ultra rare hologram nude Seoni. That'll cover your summer house in the Carribean and the private jet. :)

Summer house in the Caribbean? I want a whole island in the Caribbean! If it is good enough for Richard Branson, it is good enough for me! :)

+1 on this..not to mention it being our duty to keep Lisa in the style to which she would like to become accustomed

The Exchange

+1

Also a +1 on the no random packs.

I'll go without or make my own before I buy random packs. I just don't have the resources to be buying random packs just because I'm short the one or two spells I use all the time.


+1!!!

Also, can't Ms. Stevens just start firing people until her demands are met?

Fixed.

Slips Ms. Stevens a copy of his resume

I also make excellent mimosas. That's not on there.

Randomized with level tied to rarity is such a beautiful thing - it's like a spell book in a box.

DM: "and in the treasure pile is a book...a spell book"
Wizard: "Oh, oh, mine, mine! I grab it, cast rope trick, climb up and open it..."
DM: hands over a box of cards
Wizard OOC: "what's this"
DM: "your spell book - each card is a spell in the book"
Wizard: opens deck and pulls out...Planar Binding, Lesser "OOOoooohhh"

Quiet, you!


+1 from me as well. And if this means we get Lisa closer to that island in the Caribbean, so be it ;)

Just remember us when you want to run that huge Pirates LARP ... that's all I ask ;)


"Pirates of the Caribbean? I think someone's had too much sun, Captain Ron."

Definitely a +1 for the spell cards. If they were sold by class, I already know of at least a dozen sales in my group alone. Pleeeease make this happen!

Sorry, Perram. ;)

Dark Archive RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

I would love to see this happen! Our group already uses cards for each character's magic items and major equipment. Like deal-a-meal, "Remove each card as you use them. When you're out of cards you're done spelling for the day!"
How's this: Collect all nine spell levels! Each deck a different level. Once you start buying them, you gotta get 'em all! Low levels would be the most popular since everyone needs those, and 8th and 9th levels can be sold as one deck along with some blank ones for homebrew spells.
And PLEASE start with Wiz/Sor spells!


+1 on this, and dont forget to do the summon monster/nature's ally cards as well -- you've already got the art from the bestiary, just toss the stats on the other side. Then get reaper to start pumping out miniatures for all the summoned monsters.

I say sell by class, not by level. pours Ms. Stevens another mimosa

Each player in our regular group would buy at least one class of these (except for the guy who never plays casters of any type) and several of us would by every set of these published.

Fancy, schmancy art entirely optional. But accurate, easy-to-read spell cards for every spell would be crazy-useful.

You could even release 'booster packs' when Paizo has some AP-specific spells to share. :)

But if you want to do it right, not only do you randomize it, but you make it work like a spellbook, as in, each card is like a page in the spellbook. So not only do you have random rare cards, but you need all 9 (for a level 9 spell) in order to complete the spell!

Okay, maybe that's a lousy idea, but it might just get you as secret volcano lair instead of just an island in the Caribbean.

Dangit, I got transmute rock to mud. Again.

As a subscriber to the Gamemastery cards line, I wholeheartedly support this idea...except for the random part.

Expansion packs, however...I'm in for that. :D


I noticed D&D Next offers this exact product. Thought I'd wake up this thread. Its time, come on paizo. Break it up however you want. 1 deck per class, whatever. I'll buy them all.

Also a way to jumpstart the stagnating Cards line, assuming that these actually will sell. Now that D&D Next has it, it'd be less risky for Paizo to follow suit since they can (hopefully) gauge some sales info based on asking stores/distributors and reading player reviews on the product before committing any resources to producing it. With luck, WotC will have it as a line item on their quarterly report or quote official figures in a press release to get actual evidence instead of attempting to estimate the figures.

I know I'd probably pick up a Cards sub if these came out, but one person's opinion does not a profitable product make ;)


There was an independent kickstarter that funded a project for Pathfinder spell cards. They managed to cover all of the major hardbacks. The full sets of cards go for a couple hundred dollars. I'd love to pick them up, but can't justify spending that much at once.


That's way over priced. I'd think they'd be like $50.

They'd sell great though if they could offer them for a reasonable price, of that I'm sure.


Hello All,

I just adapted my custom stance cards, for the Path Of War, to make them spell cards. It is a pdf form you can fill out. Use them as you wish, I just ask for constructive feedback. I tried to keep them as close to 3x5 and still fit 6 on a standard piece of paper. The link is below.

Go to PDF Spell Card Form.
