[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6085261, member: 50895"] The Beginner Box is a great starter package for Pathfinder and is in fact a 'starter' product, unlike 4e's Essentials starter product which was not really a starter at all (more an extension to the game, not a simplified version). The Beginner Box precludes certain aspects of PF, such as Combat Maneuvers in order to simplify the game. There are limited available feats, spells, and monsters, but enough to get a starting adventure with included module, map and monster/PC pawns. I bought this for my nephews. Ideally it's a product for someone who has never played a tabletop RPG before. Since you are experienced playing D&D of previous editions, IMO, you needn't start with the Beginner Box, I'd suggest picking up the Pathfinder Core rule book and start from there. I'd also strongly suggest picking up the Advanced Player Guide right away as well, as this is the product where PF stands more on it's own than being a backwards compatable product - class archetypes are something you want to play with at the start, and that first shows up in the APG.
