Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder page count change

[dm4hire]

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but I found a change about the final version of the Pathfinder book. The final book was originally listed at 420 pages, but it now lists on Paizo's product page that the book will be 560 pages. They are also still listing the final price at 49.99. That's an extra 140 pages that is being added to the book. Anyone heard what will be added that isn't already covered in the beta besides the Prestige classes and magic items?

Well, those two PDFs alone, plus the missing spells/magic item pdf that came with the initial beta pdf is over 100 pages. If they put out one more PDF, like say to expand he DMing section, add an index and a little extra here and there, that would probably do it.

Guess I never really did all the math from the added pdfs. Currently with what's been put out, minus the extra index and OGL agreement pages along with the two pages referencing the beta and the pages for the ads, the book would flesh out to 497 pages. That leaves 63 pages left over for the GMs which if that's the case that would be a pretty chunky section and leaves room for quite a bit about running the game. I hope that's the way it pans out.

Sweet - and what a great price!

Pathfinder All-In-One = $49.99 for 560 pages
3.5 edition PHB + DMG = $59.90 for 640 pages
4th edition PHB + DMG = $69.90 for 544 pages

Hopefully those 63 pages satisfy the elusive "How to Fix 3e High-level Play" commitment Paizo, by direct edict of their CEO Ms. Stevens, gave to the gaming community.

Cuz I'll tell ya ladies, I just haven't seen it.

Isn't the Pathfinder book like 80-90% copy-pasted from the d20 srd?

And who the Acheron paid that much for the 4E DMG + PHB? Even here (where books tend to be a bit more expensive) I didn't pay that much for all three 4e core books

I think that may be too expensive for a single book.

Especially if you're just a casual player and never a GM.

Ah, you want the amazon translation, then?

3.5 PHB + DMG = $37.73
Pathfinder RPG = $31.49
4E PHB + DMG = $44.03

I don't think so - they're tinkering quite a bit. Some classes are completely rewritten (others just a tad). Certain spells, feats, and magic items are getting reworked. Grappling & combat maneuvers have changed, and even the way skills are handled has been altered a little.

And, if the font size matches the beta, this will be one packed book.
