Banished monster.


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Hi, I'm trying to get my friends into tabletop board games so I bought Pathfinder ACG.

One of my friends play Balazar, I was just wondering so when you use Padrig you banish the monsters, and from the rulebook Banish means they are not in the box forever, so can i eventually run out of monster to run? or does this banish rule only really work with boons?

"Banish" is defined in the rulebook:

Wrath Rulebook p.10 wrote:
• Banish: Put it back in the box, shuffling it in with the other cards of the same type (thus losing it for good).

Note the card is just put back in the box. While the "losing it for good" line refers to boons, the term banish applies to all cards. "Losing it for good" is unfortunate phrasing. You only lose the boon from your deck until you acquire it again. It is not true that the card "is not in the box forever".

When you are intended to never see a card again, the phrase "remove from the game" is used.

Wrath Rulebook p.22 wrote:
If you would banish a cohort, remove it from the game instead; it may not be used in future scenarios, even if it’s listed on your character card.

Note the distinction between "banish" and "remove from the game".

The Adventure Path Card specifies when you remove banished cards from the game. (I seem to have lost mine or I would quote it.)


Thank you, that clarifies a lot of things, time to get my caltrops and other cards at the bottom of the box haha.
