NPCs (and PCs!) at a Snap!

4/5 —

The NPC Codex Box has become, next to the Bestiary set and an adventure path set, the collection of Pathfinder pawns I actually use the most frequently at the gaming table. The reasons why will become clear in a moment, but first I'll go over the usual rigmarole for those who aren't familiar with Paizo pawns.

Each pawn is a thick cardboard token with the name and artwork of a particular character or monster on both sides. The pawns fit into plastic bases that match the size the creature should take up on a regular 1" grid. The pawns are quite durable and they're a much more cost-effective and manageable way to get a wide variety of tokens than trying to collect individual plastic miniatures. An index on the back of the box matches the numbering of the tokens, so it's easy to find what you're looking for. The NPC Codex Box comes with over 300 pawns; many are unique, but there are multiples of some (for example, there are six "Beggar" pawns and two "Cautious Mages"). The box also comes with a couple of dozen of small/medium-sized bases and five large bases. There aren't any Huge-sized or larger creatures in the box. The collection matches the entries in the NPC Codex, a Pathfinder book that contains full stat-blocks for NPCs from levels 1-20 of each core class. With the book and the pawn box together, finding an appropriate NPC in the middle of a session becomes a snap.

I would guess roughly two-thirds of the pawns in the box are devoted to the core classes, with each class receiving twenty distinct pawns. The artwork is high quality, but I'm not convinced it always matches the description. The "War Priest" pawn, for example, just looks to me like a standard dwarf warrior, and there's nothing particularly flame-related in the image of the "Fire Cleric." The "Charlatan" looks like your typical back-alley rogue and the "Masked Lord" isn't even wearing a mask! There are a lot of little problems like this, so I wouldn't take the descriptions too literally when trying to pick a pawn for a particular purpose.

The prestige classes get a full forty distinct pawns, and I have to admit there are some awesome images with the set. I think if I were stuck for a character concept, I could just browse the pawns in the box and instantly get a couple of cool ideas. I should also mention that, with a few exception, the vast majority of images used are of the core races.

My biggest beef with the set is the fifty distinct pawns devoted to the NPC classes. These cover a variety of mundane professions, like beggar, diplomat, barmaid, mayor, guard, etc. The problem I have is that the artwork makes them all take dramatic poses, most look quite athletic, and several are armed. In short, many look more like adventurers than the sort of everyday-folk you would come across in a normal town. The barmaid is suddenly a supermodel wearing a revealing outfit with a "come hither" look, the diplomat has a sword on his belt and a cape blowing dramatically in the wind, the "recruit" has full-plate armor and a magic glowing axe, and even the "village elder" is a half-orc with a spear. Not every single pawn falls into this category, but there just isn't much in the way of variety in terms of body-type (no one's fat), social class (almost everyone is stylishly dressed), or posture (everyone looks like they're ready for something dramatic to happen in the next moment). I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill, but I wish there were more that could easily blend into the background (just like in cinema, directors don't want to hire extras who are too distinctive and noticeable because it draws the viewers away from the actors).

The next eleven tokens are incredibly useful: each of the Iconics for the Core Rulebook classes. If you play PFS, you can imagine how often these would come out.

Finally, there's a collection of about twenty-five animal companions. Animals aren't really what one thinks about when it comes to NPCs, but it's really handy to have tokens for cats, dogs, horses, birds, camels, and more exotic things like constrictor snakes and even dinosaurs. I'm not a fan of the "pet" classes, but when people at my table do play them, it's good that they can find the token they need.

This is the box that I bring out when I'm running a game and someone has a new character and needs a pawn. It's easy to sort through and find something that fits the bill. As I said, I wish some of the artwork fitted the label better and that some of it was more "normal" instead of high-adventure, but all in all this set has become indispensable. It's well-worth the purchase, whether you have the accompanying book or not.

A Necessary Set

5/5 —

I have always loved the idea behind the Pathfinder Pawns, but even with a Bestiary Boxes 1 and 2 and a few Adventure Path pawn sets, I didn't really use them that often. Most of the time I stuck to my old minis, for two main reasons.
1) A lot of the common monsters like kobolds, hobgoblins, and bugbears were poorly represented in pawns. There just weren't very many of them!
2) There wasn't a great variety of potential PC's.

This box solves problem 2! This is a great set and a must own. Such a huge variety of characters from the common PC races. Plus a lot of great potential NPC's. Adding some animals is nice too.

If you are new to Pathfinder Pawns and don't know where to start, here's what I recommend:

1) Monster Codex
2) NPC Codex
3) Summon Monster
4) Bestiary Box 1

These four will give you a solid base of almost everything you need. Everything else you get after that will add variety and zest to your pawn collection.

Gorgeous set of pawns for NPCs & PCs alike!!!

5/5 —

The NPC Codex box contains a stunning selection of individual pawns that may be used for players or NPCs. At the start of every session, I pass the NPC Codex Box around and let the players choose their pawn. The players love digging thru the box almost as much as I love sorting it for NPC pawns. Combine this box with the new Inner Sea Pawn Box for the various factions and cults to have every pawn you'll need to keep your Golarion campaign running fresh for years to come!

A colorful collection of minis

4/5 —

If you use miniatures and need a lot of colorful unique NPCs or PCs for your players than this is the set for you. Based on the NPC codex book, you will find all the previous artwork and more. Some double (like the guards), many don’t. All the core races are included, as well as some animals. With these alone can build an orc army, a dwarven megaforge, an eleven city, a medieval palace or a diversified metropolis.

It’s short on obvious specific cultists though, so if you need to run through the head church of Zon-Kuthon, this will not be enough. Unless you want to go on these with a magnifying glass, there is no point in heavily distinguishing the races. You may have a hard time telling apart the halflings from the gnomes, but I didn’t care and just lobed them into one bag.

The only real gripe I have is with the punch-out quality. If you are not careful enough, the imperfect cutout can damage the token. I had to fix a dozen tokens with glue (hence the -1 star), and even more needed their edges trimmed with scissors. So take care on your first go.

A little disappointed and misrepresented.

Why are there no pictures featuring mounts for the Mounted Archer, Griffon Rider, Savage Rider, ext?

We don't currently have plans for other base sizes.

Long large bit the dust in the 3.0 - 3.5 conversion, all creatures are now square/circular as far as bases are concerned

Grand Lodge

Yet, it is still used in the bestiary, in terms of size and reach, isn't it?
Silver Crusade

Some creatures have shorter or longer reach than a normal creature of their size, but as far as the size of a creature goes, they are all square shaped.
Grand Lodge

Huh, I thought they were still long sizes. Thanks!

\o/ I've been looking forward to this one. I'm not sure if I'll make it to my FLGS in the next couple of weeks, so, failing that, hopefully I'll be able to pick it up at PaizoCon.

Just got my pawns in and had a look thru them. One thing that's nice is that there are many characters for which we receive multiple copies. That said, a few of the choices on who received multiple pawns left me wondering what sorts of games the Paizo staff play behind closed doors.

Lots of recruits and initiates? Looks legit.
1 barmaid and 4 lawyers? *eyebrows rise*

"Long" and "Tall" creatures occupy the same space, but they do have different reach values listed in one table in the Core Rulebook. However, we don't call out whether a creature is "long" or "tall" in the Bestiary entry. (You could, I expect, reverse-engineer that bit of data by using their reach value, but since it's not referred to anywhere else, and it doesn't change the fact they the area they occupy is square, there's not much point in it.)

Love the product. Extremely useful! Thank you so much for making this!

So..... Is this available now? I'm not sure I can believe that. I thought this whole thing was just designed to taunt us and never actually come out. Guess I'll go check my friendly local game store this weekend and see.

The retail release date is June 26th.

Can you change that to the 25th just for me? I have a PFS event that night and it is ALL humanoids. I am tired of using orcs/hobgoblins/zombies for all my non-monstrous npcs.

I received mine this evening, and boy do my players and I love it. They descended on it and immediately picked out new pawns that fit their characters.

On top of that it huge, at least to me it is, and gives me a pretty good assortment of NPCs to throw at my players :)).

Still prohibitively expensive, even for the weight. I'm just frustrated as it's been a long wait for the release, and now i still can't buy it. Ah well, I guess a little longer wont hurt.

I'm hoping this'll be at my FLGS when I get down there in 10 days. (I'm in Canada, and the FLGS is in Vancouver. Interestingly, the things I subscribe to take a couple of weeks to get here from Seattle, even though I'm closer to Seattle than most of the USA is.... Mail is "special" where I am.) I don't buy even the hardbacks via subscription or paizo.com because of the shipping. Probably not entirely rational, because the shipping is less than the cost of sales tax plus the price of the PDF (and, yes, I do end up buying the PDF). However, I also like to support the FLGS.

If the FLGS doesn't have the NPC Codex Box, hopefully I'll be able to pick one up the week after at PaizoCon. (I'm pretty sure it fits within the money limit for what you can buy crossing the border without having to declare and worry about it on the way back.)

Now we just need painted minis of these. :-)

I don't even want to think about how much that would cost!

There are well over 300 different creatures in that set (that's about 1/3 more than in the Bestiary Box). More to the point, that's three to four times the number there were in the "Rise of the Runelords" or "Skull and Shackles" pawn sets, and each of those Adventure Paths generated a full "Pathfinder Battles" set of painted minis.

it's got griffon riders....excellent!
wait, it's only got 1 griffon rider but multiples of a bunch of crap i don't need/want....bogus!

i wonder if they'll start to sell pawn singles the way they do for miniatures. i suppose the pdf guys could just print out however many they need, but us "actual product" guys are just doomed to be disappointed.

despite my above comments, this still looks like a very cool product that I'll eventually pick up...as soon as real life stops screwing over my finances and i actually get play money again. lol.

Still, I'm addicted to the painted plastic minis. I can not help it and can never have too much... Lol. Since the first D&D minis I've been collecting them and its reached over thousands of minis. But new ones are always welcome and encouraged . :)

Hey all,

I was just downloading my PDF's from this month's subscription drop and I noticed something a little weird about the NPC Codex box file. When I look at the file in Preview (this is on a Mac running 10.8 Mountain Lion) two of the pawns are missing their artwork: Rage Flame on page 7 and Gladiator Champion on page 29. (I list a page here, but both sides are blank.)

I know there are issues with Preview sometimes and the Paizo PDF's so I checked with Acrobat and sure enough the images are present when viewed in Acrobat Reader. I keep Reader around for working with the Interactive Map files, but it really wallows compared to Preview so I stick with the latter whenever possible.

This is not a huge deal to me, I'm unlikely to need those two pawns in the digital file, and if I did I can get them from Reader but I thought somebody might want to take a look at what's different with those two pawns. I flipped through my other Pawns files and didn't see any issues in the Bestiary Box or Rise of the Runelords. Skull & Shackles has the exact problem for Ormandar.

It would be nice if we could get themed sets. More like the paper minis would be good. I could definitely use more numerous and varied kobolds. Just a few red ones isn't enough!

More varied mephits would be nice too.

Love it. Thanks for the Iconic Pawns!

Those who pre-ordered with Amazon in US can probably expect it around July 11th.

Funny how many people still use Amazon. I got it for 22€ in the bookdepository free of shipping worldwide. It's now 25€ and already out of stock.

I got the NPC Codex Box from my local game shop today. I immediately went home and started punching out the pawns. I soon realized that there was an error in printing. The "Large Ape" is in 2 separate medium sized pieces where 2 "Noble Crusaders" should be, and 2 "Noble Crusader" models on 1 large sized pawn where the "Large Ape" should be. What should I do? Please help.

I still use Amazon and am getting it for $23 with free 2 day shipping through prime. Checked book depository and it would be $33 from there

Yeh in UK is €34.41, worldwide is €25.24 right now. Difference in delivery time is the same (I live in Portugal and I get it later if I use uk.co for some reason)

Good to see you getting it for 23$ :) I'm only seeing it for 29$ and £54.31 in the UK version (shipping not included)

Start a thread in the customer service section of the forums or send them an email (customer.service@paizo.com).

Usually they respond to stuff like this immediately, unfortunately, the timing is a bit off (they've got Independence day and paizocon) so you might have to wait until next week before they get to it.

Having said that, from past experience what they'll probably ask you to do is to take it back to the place you bought it and exchange it (the store will then exchange it or get a refund from their distributor and so on back to paizo). So if I were you, I'd try that first. They tend to prefer fixing up problems like this via the channel they were initially purchased through.

Lame. Over the years I've heard many tales of misprints of all sorts of things from all sorts of companies. That's why I always buy from my FLGS and never online. That way I can check everything in front of the owner before taking things home. Then if there's any damage or errors it's not just my problem as an individual costumer. I figure having a retailer going after them for me would have more weight. Fortunately it hasn't been an issue for me as of yet. I'd suggest going to the game store and seeing what they can do.

Great product (just got mine).

However, only one pawn was mounted, and that was actually the pawn for the camel (it's funny how pathfinder assumes that a camel isn't a camel if it hasn't got a saddle on and, preferably, a rider).

Anyway, might a suggest a "mounted npc pawn pack" for sometime in the future?

I have not gotten my box from CSI yet to compare. Does anyone know if any of the pawns match any of the faces from the Face Card Decks? Would be pretty cool, to pull out the card for roleplaying, then pull out the pawn for combat (if needed).

Pathfinder Pawns Storage Solution

Pawn Tray

I'm almost done building a storage tray that will fit inside my Beginner/Bestiary/NPC boxes.

My job and my toddler are conspiring to keep me from finishing them up, but I wanted to post my measured drawing and materials list, because it seems others could benefit from the plans.

First time poster, so hit me up with thoughts/opinions. I'm always looking to improve. dustinian@dustinian.com

One quick storage solution I've been using is to cut the bottom inch off boxes of crackers. The resulting trays hold medium and large size pawns perfectly. For the small and tiny sized ones, a few cells in a miniatures storage case works wonders.

Here's another simple storage solution that only requires a could of pieces of cardboard to be cut out. Pawn Storage

What does the PDF of this product look like?

Is it one page per sheet?

It's two pages per sheet, one with the front side and another with the reverse.

Is it ok to refer to these pawns in a 3pp adventure?

What I was wondering was whether I could have a table of NPCs with a suggestion of which one of these pawns to use.

It occurred to me that doing so might be covered by the licence to use the NPC codex itself, rather than the pawns, but I wasn't sure. I'm also not sure whether there are pawns in here which are not present in that book.

All the best

The Pawns are not on Exhibit B's list, so you can't reference the Pawn sets. (You can reference the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: NPC Codex though, as that is.)

Dark Archive

The pawns are a funny one, actually, 'cos they don't appear to have an OGL section at all.

Anyway, I'm sure I can find some way of referring to the images via the NPC Codex which will keep everyone happy.

All the best

Print edition unavailable, the only Polish retailer who actually sells Pathfinder stuff tells me this is OOP and not coming back. What's the official word on this?

Can you get products from Amazon in Poland? They have it in stock on the US website at least.
