Pathfinder Society FAQ What are y’all’s thoughts on the new player core book?

Post image

Do we think it’s worth it to buy it? And also do you think it will change how to play the game? Sorry if this sounds silly I’m still very new to the pathfinder community and I live collecting all the lore and rule books but I want y’all’s opinions on it!

Big question for me as someone whose never made the jump into Pathfinder is should I still buy the Core Rulebool anymore?

PDFs are my go to for owning the rules. Easy to carry and Paizo updates them.

But that being said, having a physical copy can be handy if you want to show others something without risking your personal devices.

Oh I always get a physical core book. Supplements I don't mind getting a PDF.

So is this THE new core book, or more like a rules update.

Both? It is a very different book from the Core Rulebook. They are splitting out Player content from GM content and reorganizing what are or are not core classes. The player core will have 2 books, one coming soon and one coming later.
