Other books for the Adventure Path

[Zagig]

I own the Core Rulebook but I am considering getting other books that are used in Shattered Star (I'm the GM). Where is the Ultimate Combat or Gamemastery Guide used in Shattered Star?

Fenster the blight uses tiger style feat from ultimate combat.

The pale stranger from book 3 uses guns, gun rules are found in ultimate combat.

If you want to add flavor to the terra-cotta soldiers in area A16 of book 3 you can give them katana, wakizashi and do-maru armor all from ultimate combat.

Mochtau from area L4 of book 2 uses a stone great axe (I think... looks like stone in the picture.) rules for stone weapons are in ultimate combat.

This is all I can think of I'm sure there are more.

You can run the adventure path with just the core rulebook so long as you have access to the rules on-line (which you obviously do, since you can post here). I would prioritize getting more information on the setting, such as the guide to Varisia or even the setting hardcover book.

I own the Magnimar and Kaer Maga books in PDF. However, I do find it easier to reference things in a hardcover rule book then I do using the PRD. I just want to spend my money wisely. Ultimate Equipment is one book I would like to get that I think would make it easier to customize treasure in the Adventure Path. Is there another book you would recommend that would be useful for this adventure path?

This is a small excerpt that had to be scrapped in book 2, it details events between book 1 and book 2.

ultimate equipment is a good choice.

pick up a bestiary 1 many monsters are from that book that the adventure doesn't give stat blocks for, later you could pick up 2 and 3 as is is used more later in the AP.

Thank you for the recommendations. I don't like referencing Bestiary entries as I don't always know the uses of some of the abilities. I usually create my own entry with plenty of detail. I think I will try to pick up Ultimate Equipment soon then.
