[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 6506588, member: 907"] Paizo's Player's Guides to various APs are a far cry from what it seems Wizards will be doing with the Princes of the Apocalypse PG. POTAPG is supposed to have new races (genasi, possibly more) as well as various new player options. A Paizo PG is more of a teaser for the AP, and telling you what options will be somewhat useful. Things like "If you're a ranger or other class with favored enemies, consider Dragons, Native Outsiders, Goblins, and Magical Beasts, because you'll be fighting those a lot" or "If you're a divine spellcaster, Torag, Gozreh, and Desna makes particularly useful patrons in this AP." Most AP PGs don't have much in the way of actual crunch other than campaign traits, which are essentially ways of bribing PCs into making their characters have connections to the adventure. Some do present additional mechanics, and when doing so those mechanics are usually the focus of some part of the AP - sailing rules for the pirate AP, or dominion rules for Kingmaker. [/QUOTE]
