I'd be interested in a pathfinder version of this product.

Hi there Eugene,

I assume you are referring to PF2.0?

While we are predominantly a D&D 5e publishing house, this is something we may look into a bit further down the track if we get enough requests for it.

Cheers

Phil B.

I really appreciate the feedback, Eugene. I haven't played Pathfinder in quite awhile, so I'm unfortunately not as well-versed in its character creation as I used to be (there was SO much HeroLab involved haha). I don't recall there being a background system in PF 1.0, though I do recall the trait system. It's my understanding that PF 2.0 replaced the trait system with a background system, but it's sounding like I might be remembering incorrectly based on what you're saying. Would you mind educating us? I don't see any mention of a background system in the Pathfinder SRD online, so if you have the time, would you mind pointing me in the right direction as to what you're referring to? Is it maybe a 3rd party optional ruleset?

In any case, I'll be happy to look into the possibility of doing a future version of this book for Pathfinder (for whichever edition makes sense), but I need to get up to speed with what exactly you're talking about first! I'll be happy to learn whatever you can teach...See more

You are correct. There isn't one. As you said the trait system is used in a RAW pathfinder 1 game. There have however been various third party supplements that replaced existing systems with some new option. For example Sphere's of Magic replacing the base magic system or psionics before anything was published by Paizo.

I'm just saying I'd love to see a system such as this be an option for PF1.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
