Pathfinder RPG 2nd Edition: Core Rulebook Pocket Edition is a comprehensive guide to the original Pathfinder Second Edition rules, bringing together everything both players and Game Masters need to create characters, run adventures and explore a world of fantasy roleplaying. This 640-page paperback edition contains the same rules as the full-size Core Rulebook in a smaller, more portable format.
Create a hero from a wide range of ancestries, backgrounds and classes, then customise your character with feats, skills, spells, equipment and abilities. Whether you want to wield powerful magic, charge into battle, explore dangerous wilderness or rely on cunning and skill, the Core Rulebook provides the tools to build a character that plays the way you want.
Character creation begins with choosing your Ancestry, Background and Class, with each decision helping to shape your hero's abilities, history and place in the world.
Six core ancestries are included: Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling and Human, alongside variant heritages for Half-Elf and Half-Orc characters.
More than 30 backgrounds, including options such as Soldier, Bartender and Apprentice, provide additional ways to develop your character's past while influencing the skills and abilities they bring to an adventuring party.
The Core Rulebook includes 12 complete character classes, covering a broad range of play styles:
Alchemist
Barbarian
Bard
Champion
Cleric
Druid
Fighter
Monk
Ranger
Rogue
Sorcerer
Wizard
Each class provides its own progression and abilities, with extensive character options allowing two heroes from the same class to develop in very different ways.
Pathfinder Second Edition places a strong emphasis on character choice. Hundreds of class feats, spells, abilities and other options allow you to develop your character as they gain experience and face increasingly dangerous adventures.
Choices made during character creation are only the beginning. As your hero advances, new feats and abilities provide further opportunities to specialise, broaden their skills or develop an entirely different approach to adventuring.
The Core Rulebook goes beyond character creation, providing the essential rules needed to actually play and run Pathfinder Second Edition.
Players will find rules covering exploration, encounters, combat, skills, equipment, magic and character advancement. Game Masters are provided with the core systems and guidance required to adjudicate the game and build adventures of their own.
The rules were designed to provide an approachable route into Pathfinder while retaining the tactical combat and extensive character customisation associated with the system.
Alongside the rules for characters and adventuring, the book includes equipment, treasure, spells and advice for running the game, making it a substantial reference for use throughout a Pathfinder campaign.
The Pocket Edition presents all of this material in a more compact paperback format, making it particularly convenient for carrying to gaming sessions or keeping alongside other Pathfinder books at the table.
