Best Feats For Rogues Pathfinder (2025 Updated)

I can’t give this boxed set enough praise. As a veteran of RPG gaming since original Dungeons and Dragons, this is by far the best introduction to a table-top RPG I have ever seen. The materials are designed so that a complete novice, who has never had a table-top RPG experience before can easily jump right in, with step-by-step, easy to follow introductions to the core rules.

The value of what you get in this box for the price is simply unbeatable! High quality materials with stunning artwork! If you’re thinking about getting into Pathfinder, or you’re just curious about these types of games in general, don’t hesitate to get this!.

It’s moderized Dungeons and Dragons. Good for starters. If you never played before you will have to read/understand. But it’s made for starting players. Comes with an erasable map and quit a few cardboard figures for it.

Comes with a starter book for players and the game master. Along with a set of dice. Normaly played with 2-5 people, yes more can play but 5 is optimal. Its a game of mythical fantasy and imagination.

Were player make up character (on paper), that explore the world saving people from monsters with sword&sorcery. Its a great game and I would advise for those who enjoy midevil fantasy. Like Greek mythology come to life and your players are the heros on an epic adventure.

You are the game master who creates the epic adventures, quests, and issuse the characters face.

It does it’s job nicely. However, I had hoped it would be made of tougher materials. The “board” it self is thin and must be treated with undo care. If you’re not very careful the fronts of the magnets can tear as you take them from their packing surroundings.

I have to say after 30 some years of gaming. I am glad somebody made one of these. I have done something like this for a few years now using a small whiteboard and post-it notes.

Only complaint is the same you’ll probably find in most reviews, magnets are a bit weak. Not a big deal for me, as I have initiative trackers over my screen for the players and I use this + dry erase to track info they don’t need.

I have played Pathfinder for several years and I really have enjoyed the versatility of the system and all of the supplemental material which was made available for it. When I saw a new book was out, I had to have it.

So when Paizo released this second edition, naturally I was curious. To be patently honest, I can see that a lot of work went into this edition, and that it was likely influenced by a lot of player’s requests, and ideas.

That’s all good. However, I don’t see anything overly compelling about the new edition that makes me want a whole new series of books. The first edition works very well as it is. Pathfinder was a vast improvement even over the 3.

5 edition AD&D, so it was exciting to explore the new possibilities. I’ve gone through and generated a character for the new 2nd edition and it just doesn’t have the same wow factor for me. I felt that I would have better spent the time generating a first edition Pathfinder character.

Even 5th edition D&D had more exciting character development than 2nd edition Pathfinder. In this ever tightening economic crunch of our real world unemployment and underemployment, I can’t really see the value in the reboot.

It is a bit intimidating, at over 600 pages for a rulebook, it makes you wonder if you can ever really start playing. It is full of information, but laid out in a way that is easy to read and learn. Classes are explained well, gameplay rules are easy to follow, items are nicely charted, and the hardcover edition is extremely durable.

Good thing because I will be turning pages in this book for a long time to come.

It’s literally a mini of the hardback. Great for when you travel your supplies around to play. The pages are merely shrunken to the books size which is about 8. 5 x 6. 5 inches, so for those with bad eyes it might not be so great.

But for those that don’t mind the page numbers will be the same as the hardback for referencing, which is an amazing selling point for larger gaming tables to share details with others who brought their own books! The pages are as high quality as the hardback, pretty sturdy and nicely colored.

I would caution that you be tender on the paper cover and back, it will show wear and tear from being stored or transported without care. Pictures are included to show my critiques.

The spiritual successor and improved version of D&D 3. 5 is still the best RPG ever made. Most of the credit goes to WotC for making the excellent 3. 5 edition but Paizo improved it even a bit more. If you are looking for the simplest RPG, this is not for you.

I recommend the great 5th edition D&D or excellent Pathfinder 2E for that (or 4th edition if you want the simplest AND most boring). I have played all of those but always return to Pathfinder and will continue to do so until they come up with something better.

If you want the most customizable yet well-defined game rules anywhere, Pathfinder is where it’s at. Plus, with the multitude of excellent supplemental books that can be had brand new for under $20 in the smaller paperback versions, you can have a huge collection of Pathfinder content for under $200.

PF/3. 5 > PF2 > 5e >> 4e.

I thought I’d post specifically on the quality of the book’s construction, because it was a bit of a gamble when I bought it for myself due to lack of info: The Pathfinder Core Rulebook as well as the Pathfinder Bestiary, hardcover editions, have sewn bindings.

Why is this important? It means the books will still be intact after years of use. In short, if you’re in to Pathfinder, the hardcover Pathfinder series seems to be a good investment in terms of longevity.

Regarding the book’s contents: In theory, any player’s handbook contains enough information for both players and GM, simply because it lays out the core mechanics necessary for the players to interact with the game world – Fleshing out the world and interactions is up to the GM.

In other words, you don’t need a monster manual, a spell manual, a specific GM guide, a campaign setting, etc. – just the core handbook. However, those accessory books are helpful in giving you starting points as you try to bring your world to life – pre-made creatures and spells that have been play-tested and balanced to work well within the rule system.

If players or GM are uncomfortable with bending rules as a method for balancing gameplay or with creating new monsters/spells/items/etc. , these accessory books become essential. and the game becomes very expensive, too.

The Pathfinder Core Rulebook offers plenty of info on race, class, items, skills, spells, and even devotes a decent chunk specifically to game-mastery. The only thing it really lacks is monsters and monster creation, so I would recommend purchasing the Pathfinder Bestiary I if you’ve purchased the Core Rulebook and decided you like the system.

Bestiary I includes many, many, monsters as well as info on creating your own. Basically, the Core Rulebook gives you the structure of the rule system and enough info to get the ball rolling, and then it guides you in using your own imagination to build on that system.

if you’re comfortable designing your own creatures without a specific guide to do so. So. to come up with your own stuff, or to rely on accessory material? The cost of additional books aside, this is essentially a question of confidence and competence.

If the players are willing to trust the GM to bend rules as necessary to balance customized gameplay AND the GM is competent enough to do it, there is no problem. But many players feel it is essential to rely on pre-made material that has been play-tested, and that’s where the other books come in (along with endless arguments over little details).

Thankfully, with Pathfinder you need only the Core Rulebook and Bestiary I for a basically fully-defined, 90% fudge-free campaign. If you’re willing to fudge as necessary, all you need is the Core Rulebook.

If you’re new to tabletop RPGs, expect some rule-bending or you’ll get so bogged down that it will lose its fun. If you’re a new GM, expect to HAVE to bend rules once in a while because no matter how many accessory books you purchase you’re going to run into situations that aren’t adequately covered by existing material.

The #1 thing to keep in mind: The Core Rulebook is a GUIDEbook. It’s ok to modify the rules – nobody’s going to get hurt. Hopefully.

Pippd was awesome as always with my order. It arrived fast and I like their prices. I recommend Pippd. However, I cannot recommend this miniature. The marketing photo provided by WizKids is deceptive.

The basilisk is tiny compared to the grell. The photo makes it seem like the basilisk is similar in size or even a bit bigger than the grell. The basilisk is not even the same size as the brain of the grell.

See my photo of the actual product before buying, (sorry for the glare on the package in the photo).

Nice clear detail. Very easy for beginners to paint and a pretty decent value. Like most of the Nolzur’s line, what you see is what you get. Usually has minor mold line issues.

The quality of the mini with the bow wasn’t the greatest only because the mold lines on the bow were bad. Normally I just shave them off but the bow is so flimsy that I almost broke it off trying to make it look decent.

Otherwise the quality of the minis was good.

Definitely produces larger plants. I did a control test on my corn plants. Used m g on the smaller one and water on the larger one. Smaller one now the larger one! So easy to mix. Granules very soluble.

Would recommend to anyone.

These are exactly the style and type of miniatures that I wanted to get my daughter for her first rogue. She’s thrilled with the poses and we got them in time for her first backstab! LOVE THIS SITE! Great miniatures, huge selection, and fast delivery!.

I know what to expect with WizKids minis: Great price at the expense of quality, at least when it comes down to character minis. Not that these minis are bad; it’s just hard to pick certain details. A little clean up and proper priming, and these are great table-ready options for building up a mini collection.

bought these when I took up miniature painting again, great detail on these and the material is really good as well. no undercoat needed which is a bonus.

I have several of the first edition boxed sets and have played them a lot. I have been through this rule book 2-3 times, and introduced 6 new players through the intro scenario. The intro scenario is good to get peoples interest started, I can be played with 2-4 characters but tends to be too short with 4 characters (only 7 turns max) so i’d suggest playing with 2.

Earlier today I played the first scenario with my wife and we had 4 characters, and played “Normal. ” It was VERY challenging and we did not complete it. I like that it was hard, we can scale it down if necessary (or even up.

) This is a very good feature to the game. Monsters & barriers are much harder than any of the base sets I have played. On average I’d say combat checks average is 12 (compared to 8 or 9. ) Monsters are also more dangerous with after affects and abilities making armor more valuable than previous editions.

Barriers are also scaled up a few points over older editions. All In all I love the changes and i can’t wait to dig in more!.

The Curse of the Crimson Throne is shorter than previously published games in this series, buts adds some new features which will keep this line fresh. The first half has many characters which you will like to see again and players are likely to replay this often.

The second half does not hold as much interest. This fourth and fifth chapters seem intrusive into the theme established in the first three chapters and seem to be present just to give the players the items and experience needed to deal with the villains of the last chapter.

There are few duplicate cards compared with previous products of this line, with more unique cards as a result. The art style has changed. Whine not bad, it clashes with that of previous games, should you add any class decks to this set.

Altogether, it is a good game, but not the most enjoyable of the line.

The most important text, which should take up half of the card, has been shrunk to 1/4 of the bottom of the card. The text is a chore to read, and every card is like this. All these meaningless flourishes take up major space on each card for no reason.

Each card needs to be inspected to see what it says. Some symbols are so tiny they’re illegible. The old system of design you could read the cards on the table. This text is way too small. The cardboard counters come crinkled out of the box.

Multiple people have pointed this out. And the graphics on the counters look like something from the 60’s. They don’t fit the theme in any way at all. Everything in this box is subpar. I’m quite shocked such a popular system could take so many steps backwards.

It’s rather depressing.

I had about half of the Pathfinder books before they launched the pocket editions. The pocket editions allowed me to complete my collection at a reasonable price. (there is a lot of books, honestly).

The pocket edition books are bigger than I thought they would be and just as easy to read as their full sized siblings. Go for the hardcovers if you are a hardcore collector but if you just want the material for function over form then go with the pocket editions.

Dont forget they release all of their content for free in PDF on their website as well, but its much nicer to have the books and disconnect from screens when playing these types of games. Happy Gaming.

It is what It says in the ad. Useful book, with a format that I like verter than the original. On the negative side, it came with the corners slightly damaged.

Book is great! I only shop at the Southern Pines BAM store. The staff there is great. When I walk in they remember me by name and they also remember what I like to buy. That is very rare in retail. I hope they get to read this cause cause they should know how great they are! I’ll be back in to buy more stat guides and pop! figures soon.
