Promo Cards

Each Adventure Card Guild character’s Class Deck may contain exactly one copy of each of its class’s Owner-associated promo card from the Iconic Heroes product line, indicated with a “Iconic Heroes” banner in the top left and a set indicator of P in the top right.

For example, Agna may add one copy of the Teapot and one copy of Biter to her Ranger Class Deck, because those cards have Harsk listed as their Owner, and Harsk is in the Ranger Class Deck. Agna may not have any other promo cards in her Class Deck. She may select the Teapot as an item deck upgrade when she gets one. Harsk, as per the Owner rules in the rulebook, can select the Teapot as part of his starting deck. Promo cards may be added to a Class Deck box at the start of a scenario.

Organizers may add up to 12 promo cards to the game box, but no more than than one copy of any one card.

There is current no legal way to play Ranzak or Ekkie in PFSACG play.

Since all guild (organized play) characters must be played with an available class deck, Ranzak is a Raider and Ekkie is a Cutpurse. Neither have a class deck abailable. The only way to have characters able to use another class's deck is to unlock them like Jirelle (Swashbuckler) with the Rogue deck and Enora (Arcanist) with the Wizard deck.

Unfortunately, that has not happened yet with the two goblins.

In your class deck, you can only have the Iconic Heroes cards whose owner belongs to your class:

In the game box, you can use promos, but of course these won't ever appear in your class deck:

Players usually don't want promos in the game box because as an upgrade they are adventure deck 0.

Yeah, typically promo boons aren't desired because P is the same as B or C.

Promo banes, on the other hand, can be interesting. In the Season of the Shackles, some groups like the risk/reward a Goblin Keelhaulin' can bring.

I love Rogue Eidolon. :D
