@jackal242 Fair use. The game can be played with 3.0/3.5 D&D. Not much of a problem. Certain spells were renamed. I have the game d its pretty fun. Its just like D&D with some alterations here and there.
I'm a bit late to the party but I'm considering getting into Pathfinder. One question: are there rudimentary monster stats in the core book or do I absolutely need the Bestiary supplements?
@Arbie8327 The monster stats are in the bestiary, though you can find almost all the gaming rules, including monster stats on their web site. I would suggest anyone who wants to play at least get the bestiary one, it's a very handy and beautiful book.
just picked up the last copy at my local borders store. man, this book is going out fast wherever i go. even at darkhorse and maximum comics here in vegas were out! can't wait to play with my group :D
This was a very early preview video, released before the game was. The previewer is Paizo's publisher Erik Mona who did, in fact, read the book. You make an excellent point though--we need to put up a video describing the game and its changes now that the game is out.
This did absolutely nothing to tell me what Pathfinder was or why I should buy it. It's clear the guy didn't even read the book he's trying to show off.
I dont think 4th edition is a insult to the dnd line as i dont think it is dnd
I think its a simple rpg that you can pick up and play a mini 2-3 hour campaign with on offdays where you (the dm) isnt ready for a new campaign/has to postpone the existing one.
That being said dont buy the books pirate the pdf for 4e
I was a 20 year gamer but quit when my group went to 4th edition. They later chucked it and went back to 3.5 but I was gone. I used to be an outstanding dm and even had a projection monitor with a mirror that projected the map & electronic tokens to the game mat so I could scroll and zoom the playing surface. But I haven't picked up dice for 2 years now. Now that pathfinder is out I'm warming up my dice for my first game, on the 16th of next month. My book will arrive in a week. I'm back!
*starts saving pennies* I am so gonna get this. Even though I have 4.0, and still think that 3.5 has too many issues. After looking that the Beta, it looks damned good.
We all know that 4th Ed. is WOTC's natural 1 on a D1,000,000, but it is the easiest for new players to learn.
Veterans of D&D (And people who at least know what they're doing, much like myself) are all going to be looking towards Paizo for a much better-written masterpiece as this, rather than face the absoute insult of 4th Edition.
A wonderful guide. I was looking for something like this, since I'm creating a Campaign Setting guide myself together with some friends. Our CS is based on Science Fiction and a new world that we started creating in 2002/2003, which we call New Horizon. w w w . the-nh . c o m
my group did not like 4rth ed. pathfinder is the saving grace of dnd. i really liked 3.5and was sketchy about pathfinder until i checked out the beta. i am very happy with the beta and i am excited about the release of pathfinder. for all of you dnd fans out there who are upset with the changes in 4rth ed, i highly recomend this product if you haven't looked at it already.
Aw man! They changed the artist who did the races...I liked how they looked like they were made out of rocks. Other than that though, still looking forward to this book.
@vgmaster9 Yes they can. Though pathfinder doesn't have complete offical rules for monster PC races yet, so if you want to use them as PC races it's subject to GM's approval. On the side note, all the core races(human,elf..etc.) has been powered up a bit. You might want to check them out first.
I subscribed to the PathfinderRPG line a little over a week ago--if the following volumes are even half as beautiful as the core, it will be money well spent!
What a ripoff

How did they legally get away with copying AD&D ? I mean even all the spells are the exact same names.

Also they're going to be selling the PDF of the book for $9.99, yes...TEN DOLLARS!! for a 500+ page book.

@yukarjama Are all the races, classes, monsters, weapons, spells, and campaigns/settings from 3.5 useable for Pathfinder?
vgmaster9 1 year ago
@vgmaster9 Some of them need a little adjustment but most of them are compatible.
yukarjama 1 year ago
@yukarjama So the 3.5 versions of the Eladrin, Tieflings, and Dragonborns can be used as well then.
