More Characters after Skull & Shackles?


Pathfinder Adventure Card Game General Discussion


After all 6 expansions for Skull & Shackles have been released, will the next Base adventure include more new characters?


Probably. There are still other iconics and other classes. Two if the characters in skull and shackles came from the classes in the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Player Guide, and there are more in there to choose from. One of the Adventure Paths is a Ninjas sort of theme, with an iconic ninja and a samurai.

I hope to see all 30 of the Pathfinder RPG's iconic player character classes appear in the ACG eventually.

You don't happen to have a list of those 30 somewhere...posted? I looked, but the "Meet the Iconics" posts only have about 21 of them up.

Semi-random question - does Pathfinder have psionics?

Paizo Employee Chief Technical Officer

We don't have official psionics, no. There's some good third-party support for it, though.

Skald is a Barbarian Bard (Literally. The Advanced Class Giude classes are mixes of 2 base classes)
Investigator is an Alchemist Rogue, so it'll probably have some of Merisiel's signature skills (Disable comes to mind), but with more intelligence and the Craft skill


Don't most rogues have more intelligence than Merisiel though? I don't think I've ever created a rogue with int as it's lowest stat in my life. Now admittedly I'm more used to the version of AD&D (3.5?) where disable was based off of int, so without that I might not make it super high - but still it gives you more skill points regardless and rogues are all about the skills.

Meriseil's Intelligence score is another Pathfinder RPG bit. As the Iconic Rogue, it was unusual for a rogue to have a lower intelligence but that was the way she is. Some people seem to see things like this (and Ezren's lack of blessings) as poor design but I personally like them as they are staying true to the roots they are building on. Keep it up guys.

The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game folks didn't come up with the names of the classes. They all come from the Pathfinder RPG sourcebook "Advanced Class Guide", which will come out in August.

I don't think it's poor design as I find the character very playable - I'm just saying she's not a standard rogue, that's all. And pointing out that it would be difficult for the investigator to NOT have more intelligence, since Merisiel has basically barbarian level intelligence.

My son and I have already been sounding out ideas for the APG classes - namely inquisitor, alchemist, cavalier, oracle and witch. Happy to see plans are being made, - I can hear the muwahahaha from here.

You won't have to wait too long to see the Alchemist, Oracle and Witch ;) Also, they're all pretty awesome!
