Survival in a world beset by magic and evil takes more than a lucky roll of the dice. Pathfinder Player Core 2 significantly expands options available to Pathfinder players, giving them the edge to take on any adventure. This 320-page rulebook remasters 8 classes from Pathfinder Second Edition, providing everything you need to create a wide array of new characters, ready to take on the world. It also includes more than 40 archetypes, expanded ancestries, and tons of feats, spells, and alchemical items to provide a near-endless array of exciting options for every Pathfinder character!
Pathfinder Player Core 2 is the fourth core rulebook for the fully remastered Pathfinder Second Edition RPG! These rules are compatible with previous Pathfinder Second Edition rulebooks, incorporating comprehensive errata and rules updates and some of the best additions from later books into new, easier-to-access volumes with new presentations inspired by years of player feedback. Along with the Player Core, GM Core, and Monster Core, these books provide a new foundation for the future of tabletop gaming! The ideal character option resource for players looking to move beyond Pathfinder Player Core.
Pathfinder Player Core 2 includes:
- Eight fully detailed classes, including the alchemist, barbarian, champion, investigator, monk, oracle, sorcerer, and swashbuckler, each with multiple character paths, multiclassing options, and dozens of feats!
- Expanded ancestry options include the catfolk, hobgoblin, hyena-like kholo, kobold, lizardfolk, ratfolk, tengu, and frog-like tripkee alongside three versatile heritages--the dhampir, duskwalker, and all-new dragonblood heritage!
- More than 40 archetypes, allowing you to further customize your character's story and abilities. Turn your hero into an aerial acrobat, a high-riding cavalier, a treacherous pirate, and so much more!
- Spells, alchemical items, and magic items to round out the new classes and to provide some new tricks to the classes from Pathfinder Player Core.
The pocket edition presents the same contents as the standard edition in a smaller sized softcover for a lower price and better portability.
