New class deck question


Pathfinder Adventure Card Game General Discussion


My play group and I are having a blast going through the original adventures and we are really excited about the new class decks. However, currently the only class decks available are the original characters. Are there any plans to bring Class decks for add on characters such as the Monk, Paladin, etc?

We haven't announced anything yet, but I'd certainly love to do those decks. Buy lots of this first set of Class Decks. :)

Do you get the subscription discount? Are there promos that come with them?

You do get the 20% Subscription discount on the class decks. They have not said anything about Promos for the class decks.

The promos come with the PACG subscription (items). So there won't be any promos with the class decks, only the base set, add-on deck, and adventure decks.


Could you release character sheets for the class decks? I'm tempted to get something, but it's impossible to make a truly informed decision at this point.

Vic already said they would before GenCon. You need a bit of patience.

Considering how close Gencon is, and how little we know bout the content of the class decks - the only 2 cars previewed are a Longbow and a Force Missile - some lack of patience is normal.

Many people considerend preorders and maybe even GenCon pickup for the class decks, so I understand if people are not completely happy with the information available.

Honestly, not sure what you're expecting. I mean the card lists on the current character sheets really don't reveal much information beyond type and name. So having those sheets come out is only going to give you more speculation if there are cards not currently in the game. You also won't know if those cards have changed based on the class!

I think you'll still have to wait until they come out and either wait for people to comment or look at someone else's class deck(s). And then make your decision to purchase.

But just for clarity, class decks can't be preordered then picked up at GenCon. Only subscription items can be. (But I'll be buying them at the same time as the pickup along with mats and card sleeves.)

I'd imagine the character sheets are of more interest to see the skills and powers of the new characters, rather than the boons. That's certainly what I'm looking forward to seeing.

Same here. I'm wondering how the characters differ within the class since the card list section should be the same.

I wasn't exaclty missing the boon list either - however seeing some quantities and card names would at least show some of the theme - but mainly the characters themselves.

For example, I think it will be interesting to see that how many non-basic blessings are taking place per class deck, as all decks must be self supporting with their limited card count.

Card names would also show how many reprints are in there, which is mostly interesting if you don't plan to play the OP events.

I pointed out Force missile and Longbow only because from a preview prespective they are completely meaningless, but we yet to see anything else. (and they weren't intended as a preview either)

Any ETA on the character sheet PDFs? We have several folks wanting to pick up Class Decks but want to see what the skills/powers are for the different class variants before settling on one.

We have a *lot* of plates spinning between now and Gen Con. All I can say is that we intend to have them up by Gen Con, and will put them up early if we can.

I will also say that you should check the Paizo blog later today.
