Pathfinder RPG 2nd Edition: Player Core Pocket Edition is the starting point for players entering the remastered Pathfinder Second Edition ruleset. Containing the same material as the standard Player Core in a smaller, portable softcover format, this 464-page rulebook brings together character creation, ancestries, classes, feats, spells, equipment and the essential rules needed to begin playing.
Designed using years of player feedback, the Player Core reorganises and updates the Pathfinder Second Edition experience to make the rules easier to navigate while retaining the depth and character customisation for which Pathfinder is known. It is fully compatible with existing Pathfinder Second Edition material and incorporates extensive errata and rules updates from the system's earlier releases.
The Player Core guides you through the complete character creation process, from choosing an Ancestry and Background to selecting your Class, abilities and other character options.
Eight core ancestries are included: Human, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, Leshy and Orc, providing a wide range of starting points for creating your adventurer.
The book also contains eight complete classes:
Bard
Cleric
Druid
Fighter
Ranger
Rogue
Witch
Wizard
Each class offers its own approach to adventuring, whether you prefer martial combat, magic, exploration, stealth, supporting your companions or a combination of different abilities.
Character creation goes far beyond choosing an ancestry and class. The Player Core contains a large selection of skills, feats, spells, equipment and versatile heritages, allowing characters to develop in very different directions as they gain experience.
Options such as Changeling and Nephilim versatile heritages provide further possibilities, while expanded class choices and revised character options give players plenty of control over how their hero works both mechanically and within the story.
The book covers the essential rules players need during an adventure, from exploring the world and interacting with its inhabitants to surviving dangerous encounters and tactical combat.
It also provides the tools needed to advance characters through play. Your adventurer can develop from an inexperienced newcomer into a powerful veteran with increasingly impressive abilities, equipment and magic.
A primer on the Lost Omens setting introduces the wider world of Pathfinder, helping players understand where their characters fit within its cultures, locations and ongoing conflicts.
Player Core forms part of the remastered Pathfinder Second Edition core rules alongside GM Core, Monster Core and Player Core 2.
The rules incorporate errata and updates from the first four years of Pathfinder Second Edition, including revisions to the Witch, expanded choices for the included classes, streamlined spells, new equipment and other improvements.
The remastered rules remain compatible with previous Pathfinder Second Edition books, allowing existing material to continue to be used alongside the new core volumes.
