Class Decks / Iconic Heroes FAQ

[Vic Wertz]

The Class Decks FAQ has been created.

Edit:

This is not a rules discussion thread. Please keep this thread for updates and commentary about the FAQ itself, not about the gameplay issues that are or are not described in the FAQ.

[borodino21]

The Rogue deck Light Crossbow +1 has the Basic trait and does not have the Magic trait.

[Vic Wertz]

Folks,

I do not want this to become a rules discussion thread. Please keep this thread for updates and commentary about the FAQ itself, not about the gameplay issues that are or are not described in the FAQ.

[Vic Wertz]

Added one entry.

[Frencois]

Hi from France Vic.

Just an idea for the FAQ themselves : when you update a free PDF file (like the character sheets for the Class Decks recently), could you put in the FAQ what was changed so that we do not have to reprint the 28 characters if only 2 or 3 typos/updates where involved ?
The use of the red font for updates on the FAQ is EXTREMELY helpful (thanks), so why not add in red recent PDF changes to the FAQ ?
Once again Thanks for all the job done.

[Vic Wertz]

When a PDF is updated, you should get an email letting you know what changed. I will ask for that to be detailed enough to tell you which bits need to be reprinted.

This Class Decks FAQ is not linked along the two other FAQs on the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game product page. (Right there, under the two bold links for the rulebook downloads.)

It makes it hard to find if you don't go to this specific messageboard section.

The FAQ is linked from that page now :)

[Vic Wertz]

One new item today.

[Vic Wertz]

One today.

[Vic Wertz]

One today. There may be more coming; I'll edit this post as needed.

I've updated the resolution to this entry.

[Vic Wertz]

One today (so far).

Edit: make that two.

...and three.

[Vic Wertz]

One today.

[Charlie Rock]

Where does it say what campaign path you may use these Class Decks with? Rise of the Runelords? Skulls & Shackles? Both? Neither?

[agraham2410]

The characters from the packs you can use in any of the campaigns.

The decks are mainly for use in the Organised play senarios.

But you do have the option for adding the cards from the decks into the base box if you wish. See rule book for setting up your box.

Actually, that's a common misconception. They're meant just as much to be an accessory to use in home games in any Adventure Path as they are as a requirement for Organized Play.

From the Class Deck "rules" card, side titled "Adding Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Class Decks to Any Set":

Spoiler:

Class Decks are designed for use as an accessory for any Pathfinder Adventure Card Game base set and its corresponding Adventure Decks. You may immediately add all of the Class Deck cards that have the letter B in the upper-right corner to the other cards in your base set (see "organizing You Cards" in the rulebook). When you add cards from a new Adventure Deck to the box (see "ending a Scenario, Adventure, or Adventure Path" in the rulebook), you may add all of the Class Deck cards that have the same adventure deck number as the Adventure Deck cards you just added.

[Vic Wertz]

Two today.

[Vic Wertz]

And one more.

[Vic Wertz]

One today.

[Hawkmoon269]

Looks like the Sling in the Wizard class deck needs the RotR errata applied to it.

[Vic Wertz]

Right you are. Added to Sorcerer and Wizard.

[Vic Wertz]

Seven entries for four cards today:

Here.

Here, here, and here.

Here and here.

Here.

[Vic Wertz]

One.

[Vic Wertz]

Another.

[Malcolm_Reynolds]

Ranger Class Deck:

Holy Light is missing "have" in "After playing this card, if you do not have the Divine skill..."

Monkey has the Elite trait and should not (per RotR Monkey).

[Malcolm_Reynolds]

Rogue Class Deck:

Speed is missing Wisdom/Divine in check to acquire.

Monkey should not have the Elite trait.

[Mike Selinker]

Malcolm: Can you please post things like this in the Rules forum, rather than on this thread? This is Vic's thread for FAQ announcements.

[Vic Wertz]

One today. (So far.)

[Keleborn]

Are character sheets for classes like Sorcerer going to be added to the PACG Character Sheets PDF? And are they going to expand it to add character sheets for each of the 3 other variants for each class?

[Hawkmoon269]

They are already available.

[lostpike]

Are there new class decks planned to come out with Wrath of the Righteous?

[Hawkmoon269]

Hey lostpike. FYI: This thread is really for discussion of things that appear in the Class Deck FAQ and not really to ask questions about the Class Decks (the name of the thread can be a bit misleading in that regards).

As for your question though.:

They haven't announced anything official yet, but they have said they are working on more. The exact number or which ones aren't official either (that thread says February, but is from before the release of WotR was changed to April). But I'd say it is reasonable to expect them around the same time as WotR. Again, not official.

[Vic Wertz]

One today (so far).

Edit: One more.

[Vic Wertz]

And one adjustment to two decks.

[CanisDirus]

Is the "tag for FAQ review" no longer an option on the rules board? I just posted something we caught earlier today but apparently none of my players or I can find the "mark for FAQ" anywhere...

[Hawkmoon269]

I don't think that has ever existed in the card game forums.

[Vic Wertz]

Nope—that's an RPG forum-specific function.

[Vic Wertz]

We've made a wide-ranging change regarding magic shields, so I added new entries here, here, and here. I also updated the entries here and here, which previously referred only to the Spiny Shield.

[Vic Wertz]

One question for two decks.

Edit: These entries referred to the wrong card, and have been removed. See this instead.

For Seoni's Tattooed Mystic, for the sake of uniformity, can the box be moved to before the word "or"? Thanks.

[Mike Selinker]

Whoops. That one's on me. Good catch.

[Vic Wertz]

Fixed.

One card: Fighter, Ranger, Wizard.

Edit: Minor update to the wording of the resolution.

These FAQ entries have been removed; we've introduced a new rule that obviates the need for this change.

What FAQ entries were those? They are no longer accessible now. And what is the new rule?

[Hawkmoon269]

They were Staff of Minor Healing. Here is the new rule.

[Zaister]

Thanks, Hawkmoon!

[Vic Wertz]

One.

[Vic Wertz]

I edited this entry to note that it applies to the role card as well as the character card.

[Vic Wertz]

Edited this entry to add the Winged Shield.
