About this deal

Take the first step into an amazing world of fantasy adventure! ThePathfinder Beginner Boxcontains everything you need to learn how to play the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, including rules to create your own fantasy hero and tools to make your own amazing stories. Will you be a courageous fighter, charging headfirst into battle, or a sly rogue, moving quietly to strike at foes from the shadows? That is a fair point, and as the person who wrote that section, I will absolutely own that I did not think about the XP requirements! That's my bad. The buffs provided by the air and earth orbs don’t give the players any hints as to specifically what they do, or that they’ll only function once, or that they go away after 24 hours, or that the orbs only function once each. Basically they get a cryptic hint and some flavor text. It’s very flowery, but without the opportunity to experiment there’s no way for the players to figure out how to use the buffs without wasting them. Just tell the players what the buffs do. Start by entering a name for the character. A randomly generated name will be added by default which you’re free to keep, and you can change the name later if you want. Set the “In Player’s Journal’s” field to “All Players” so that everyone can see the new character. Set the “Can Be Edited & Controlled By” to the name of the player who will control the character. Keep in mind that players will only appear as options in these fields if they have joined the game at least once. After this point, the player can make the remaining changes to set up their character’s stats by editing the Character Sheet tab in the journal entry, but the GM will need to build their token. If you’re using the Advanced Fog of War, the maps are already set up so that the player’s tokens will automatically figure out line of sight and show them what they should see based on their position. This is exciting functionality which I greatly enjoy for dungeon crawls, but it can be a pain to set up in custom modules and if you don’t play frequently the roll20 subscription may not be worth the price. The game is still fun without Advanced Fog of War, but if you’re playing often via Roll20 it may be worth the price.

Open up a GitHub issue stating exactly what you did and exactly what error you are getting. Likely someone in #pf2e can help you phrase this. If it still persists, create a new PF2e world with no modules enabled and try again. At this point you likely have enough information people in #pf2e on the discord channel might be able to help you. My first post was a general response regarding Adventure Mode (and specifically using it to run adventures in other systems.) caps wrote: Planning to run this for my kids. Presumably I can use the other pregens in the box to make a legal table as long as there are at least two players?There is no legal table size in Campaign Mode, so you can do what makes for the best play experience. I hope you and the kids have a great time. Soundscapes provided as ambient playlists and local sound sources to immerse your players, mixed using audio from the Syrinscape library.A dense little starter set, perfect for players with zero experience or groups just beginning their journey in tabletop role-playing. As noted above, the Beginner Box is the perfect introduction into the world of Pathfinder. From there, we’ve put together a series of next steps leading adventurers to a career in the Pathfinder Society. First up, we recommend the upcoming Bounty titled The Road from Otari, scheduled to debut in January. The story builds on Menace Under Otari, leading your first-level characters from Otari to Absalom, where you arrive at the Grand Lodge to begin your career as a Pathfinder! From there, we recommend PFS 1-01: The Absalom Initiation, where new characters can meet the various important Society NPCs, and the upcoming PFS 2-11: The Pathfinder Trials, which gives a peek into how the Society trains its initiates. Post-training, a good start to the Year of Corruption’s Reach, this year’s metaplot, is PFS 2-01: Citadel of Corruption, or characters can dive into being Pathfinders via any other Pathfinder Society adventure! Even if you plan to play using the pre-generated characters, I recommmend creating a character as a learning exercise if you plan to play Pathfinder 2e beyond the Beginner Box. Everyone, including the GM, should take part in this exercise. You are literally the first person I've seen complain about that product. Not saying your criticisms are invalid, just unusual.

The players will need something to represent them on the map. The Beginner Box includes three sheets of cardboard pawns, including some for the pre-generated characters. You can use nearly anything to represent a character on the map, but they should generally fit into a 1-inch square to fit the grid on the flip mats. Coins and lego minifigs both work great as inexpensive miniature replacements, as will pieces from many board games. Play the Game We’ve sanctioned the adventure in campaign mode as a two-chronicle adventure. The story lends itself nicely to splitting into two parts, each of which we believe should be playable in 4-5 hours. Players should either use one of the provided pregenerated characters or build their own using the Beginner Box rules. Each chronicle must be applied to a 1st-level character and grants 4 XP, 10 Treasure Bundles, and 4 Reputation for their chosen faction. We’ve also designated the adventure repeatable, so players earn credit each time they play through the adventure. This article covers the Pathfinder Second Edition Beginner Box. For the Pathfinder First Edition equivalent, see Beginner Box (First Edition). There is no Minimum or Maximum table size (other than what you can handle as a GM and make fun for everyone.)

Available Versions

For suggestions on running the adventure Menace Under Otari, see “The Adventure”, below. The Adventure I don't feel like I have much more clarity on my original question, though, in terms of something definitive. The adventure in this book and the story seeds below aren’t the only adventures this town offers. The standalone Pathfinder Adventure Troubles in Otari continues the story begun here and brings heroes all the way to 5th level. The Abomination Vaults Adventure Path is a separate series of three linked adventures, starting with Ruins of Gauntlight, set in Otari and a dangerous dungeon just to the north. Of course, you can also invent adventures of your own! Next, read the Otari document. This is a “Gazetteer” which describes the city of Otari, where the Beginner Box adventure takes place. Much of this document can be shared with the players, but there are some events described in the document which are intended to surprise the players, so you may need to read the document to the players in chunks or edit the Journal entry to move the hidden pieces into the “GM Notes” section. Removed bonus encumbrance from the character sheet and added a tooltip breakdown for encumbrance and max bulk
