Pathfinder Playtest Character Creation Walkthrough

I decided to share with you how easy it is to make a character using the Pathfinder Playtest rules, or Pathfinder 2e if you prefer. I chose to make a Goblin Alchemist in this video because I believe they fixed a lot of the problems I had with Alchemists in previous editions. I went with Goblin because it sounds fun and it’s now a core ancestry.

I kind of regret not making a monk.

I caught up with Jason Buhlman from Paizo Publishing at Gen Con 2018. Would you believe we talked about the Pathfinder 2 Playtest?  He also revealed the last hybrid. We discussed some of his favorite parts of the trip and addressed my concerns about character creation.

I really can’t wait to make some characters!

Annoucing Pathfinder Battles: Kingmaker!

Monday, April 16, 2018

Now that we’re done with previews of Jungle of Despair—which releases next week—I’m excited to announce the next Pathfinder Battles miniatures set from our partners at WizKids.

Currently scheduled for an October release, Pathfinder Battles: Kingmaker, is the fifteenth set of prepainted plastic miniatures in the popular Pathfinder Battles line. Featuring 44 randomized figures in sizes ranging from Small to Large, and six pieces of dungeon dressing, Pathfinder Battles: Kingmaker exemplifies the commitment to quality sculpts and paint jobs, as well as variety and utility of figures, the line is known for.

As always, customers who order a case of Pathfinder Battles: Kingmaker boosters will also have the opportunity to purchase the set’s case incentive. This set’s two-figure incentive features the earth and water elemental lords, completing the Huge elemental series we began last year in Maze of Death with the air and fire elemental lords.
