Objective of the Game

Pathfinder is a role-playing game where players embark on various quests and missions in a fantasy world. The goal of the game is to experience adventures, solve puzzles, and advance the story through interactions and combat.

Game Materials

• Character Sheets: Each player creates a character with individual abilities, traits, and backgrounds.
• Rulebook: Contains the game rules and information on classes, races, equipment, and spells.
• Dice: The iconic 20-sided die (d20) is used for decisions and combat, supplemented by other dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12).
• Player's Guide and Game Master's Guide: These books are essential for managing the game and creating adventures.

Setup

1. Character Creation: Players choose race, class, and other features to complete their character sheets.
2. Game Master: One player becomes the Game Master, providing the story and the world.
3. Party Formation: Players form an adventuring party with a common goal.

Rules and Gameplay

1. Narration and Decisions: The Game Master describes the world and situations that players encounter.
2. Player Interactions: Players explain what their characters intend to do. The Game Master decides which skill checks are necessary.
3. Dice Rolls: Players roll a d20 to determine if their actions succeed, based on the task's difficulty and their skills.
4. Example: A player wants to open a locked door. The Game Master sets the difficulty at 15. The player rolls a d20 and adds their Dexterity bonus. A result of 15 or higher means success.
5. Combat: Combat is turn-based. Players roll for order (initiative). Each player decides if their character will attack, move, or perform another action.
6. Attack: A d20 roll plus modifiers against the enemy's Armor Class (AC). Upon success, the damage is rolled.
7. Evolving Story: The story develops through player decisions.

Strategy Tips

• Party Balance: A balanced party with different classes (e.g., Warrior, Mage, Rogue) is advantageous.
• Resource Management: Manage your resources such as spells, health, and equipment efficiently.
• Role-Playing: Step into your character's role and interact with the world and other characters.

Special Aspects

• Flexibility: The game is incredibly customizable; the Game Master can shape the story and the world to their liking.
• Unlimited Possibilities: Each session can be entirely different, depending on player decisions and the Game Master's creativity.

Pathfinder offers a deep and customizable gaming experience that requires imagination, planning, and collaboration.
