Embark on a Grand Adventure!
You’re holding an introduction to a world of adventure and creativity
unlike any other form of entertainment: tabletop roleplaying games.
Maybe you picked up this book because you wonder how roleplaying
games (also known as RPGs) work and want a walkthrough that
didn’t involve studying a large tome of rules. Or maybe you’ve
been invited to play with some friends, and want to arrive better
prepared. Maybe you played the
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game
Beginner Box
and want the full experience that the Pathfinder rules
have to offer, or have been playing for some time and would like a
friendly reference.
Regardless, we’re here to help. In this book, you’ll find a friendly
and straightforward guide to making your own character and
becoming confident in the basics of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
the parts of villains, allies, bystanders, and even the environment
itself, all while creating goals for the player characters to reach and
challenges for them to overcome. Over time, the characters grow in
power, gain new abilities, and find fantastic treasures, useful tools,
and other loot to help them on their quest.
Everyone playing the game rolls dice at various times to determine
whether characters’ actions succeed or fail, as well as what impact
those results have in the moment. This creates elements of chance
in the story you’re playing, and some of the best moments of
roleplaying games come from overcoming odds in the story with a
little luck and clever use of the rules.
The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is a fantasy game, where magic
is real and elves, dwarves, and more roam the world. Most characters
fall into traditional fantasy roles like wizards and barbarians, and
encounter classic monsters like orcs and dragons. As a player in the
game, you create such a character and interact with the world. This
book walks you through creating a character so you can participate
in the game, and then teaches you how to do things with your
character—including exploring, fighting monsters, and interactions
with other characters. It also provides some tips for getting the most
out of both your character and your gaming sessions.
What Is the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game?
In the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, you portray a heroic character
who teams up with other heroes in an epic tale of adventure and
intrigue, full of dangerous quests and legendary rewards. In a typical
game session, the
Game Master
(or
GM for
short) and the
players
create a story together in which the players act as the story’s main
characters, known as
player characters
(or
PCs).
