Thread starter tomas Start date Apr 13, So my kids managed to lose the rulebook but not the dice! I went looking for a pdf copy of it last night and had no luck. Is there one that I can buy or download for free? Or am I stuck buying another set? Davies Active member Banned.

You'll also find a lot more pregens on top of the Starter Set ones there as well. That concept is still in the game, but it's just an asterisk on the armor chart that translates the rule into broad armor categories. I find it ingenious not just because it's elegantly simpler while still capturing the same flavor, but it leaves the door open for modular increases in complexity down the road.

Do you want that old-school granularity in armor selection? An advanced combat book or equipment book could easily offer that option. There are a few other rules I really like as well. Combat rounds are easy to explain — you can move and you can take an action, in any order. The part that's really appealing: a character can interact with the environment or his gear once per turn as a free action.

Pull the lever, lock the door, draw your sword, drink the potion on the table, or untie the captive knight. That little rule goes a long way toward keeping combat interesting. It's basically a swashbuckling rule, and lets battles feel crazy and exciting and not just hackfests. Advantage and disadvantage is another great rule. The new version is so much better. If you have advantage your buddy is helping you flank the gnoll, or the horse you're riding is especially well-trained you roll a pair of D20s for your roll, and take the better of the two.

Disadvantage works just the opposite — when the situation is against you, you roll two D20s and take the lower roll. It's somehow inherently more fun to roll two dice instead of just taking a boring 10 percent adjustment on your roll. It can also lead to epic fun moments like the bad guy attacking with advantage, everyone thinks it's certain doom, and he rolls critical misses on both dice. Beyond the core rules, the boxed set includes a page adventure called "Lost Mine of Phandelver" both books are softcover, like magazines.

Written by Richard Baker and Christopher Perkins, it delivers a lot of action and intrigue. It has a very classic feel, with a wide assortment of monsters to battle, townsfolk to meet, mysteries to solve, and a shadowy underworld to uncover. The first few sections are ideal for new players, dropping them into situations of gradually increasing complexity.

There's a straightforward battle, but then an encounter with animals you can fight or calm. The first dungeon area is non-linear, so players get to experience the joys and terrors or making choices and suffering the consequences. My opinions are less relevant here, since this Starter Set is aimed at less experienced players. What did our players think? Our players had played a little Pathfinder, but were still pretty new to RPGs, and one of them had no experience whatsoever beyond knowing the dice had different sides "from the Community episode.

I hate to speak for others, but it really seemed like everyone had a great time and picked up on the rules quite easily. It might be more accurate to say they didn't stress about the rules too much, because the rules were clearly secondary to the fun we were having. Everyone dove in with no hesitation, playing off their odd character quirks, making completely outside the box choices, planning out combat tactics, and doing all the other stuff that adds up to "having an adventure.

It has to be important. Obviously, the Starter Set isn't perfect.
