Beginner Box Rules

These are the streamlined Pathfinder RPG rules and the best way to learn the game. These rules take characters up to Level 5.

For Players:

Hero’s Handbook (ask Grandmaster for a copy) – How to create your character, and rules for adventuring and combat.
Beginner Box Player Pack (expansion) (PDF) – Includes the barbarian class and new equipment and options!

For Game Masters:
Game Master’s Guide (ask Grandmaster for a copy) – Includes a beginner dungeon and rules and advice for creating your own adventures.
Beginner Box GM Kit (expansion) (PDF) – Includes a second beginner dungeon and more monsters and magic items.

You get a new feat at every odd-numbered level. Here is a list of the feats (PDF file) available to Beginner Box characters!

ALSO… We will use the Core Rules for animal companions, and allow Two-Weapon Fighting! You can choose the Two-Weapon Fighting Feat from the Core Rulebook! (Note that this requires a Dexterity of 15, and your 2nd weapon must be a light weapon — in the Beginner Box light weapons are dagger, light mace, light hammer, short sword, starknife, and throwing axe.)
