Posted this over in the Pathfinder Forum, but thought I would mention it here as well.

EDIT: Whoops, wrong thread - meant this for the minis thread, at least it is sort of related.....

A few more details released by WizKids:

WizKids has released more details on its upcoming joint project with Paizo Publishing: the Pathfinder Beginner Box Heroes Fantasy Miniatures (see “Pre-painted Pathfinder Minis”). The minis set is on schedule to release in October, 2011.

The set will include four hand-painted miniatures, each on a one inch circular base, fully compatible with the Pathfinder role-playing game. These are all-new sculpts, created under license by WizKids Games.

Each figure in the set represents one of the characters from the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beginner Box, also scheduled to release in October (see “Pathfinder Beginner Box”). The characters are:

Ezren, male human wizard
Kyra, female human cleric
Merisiel, female elf rogue
Valeros, male human fighter

The minis will be packaged in a 5.75” by 9.25” clam shell.

Both pre-gens and rules for roll your own. The pre-gens are there for folks who want to jump right in, but they will, in fact, have rules and sheets for creating your own.

* Four pregenerated character sheets to throw you right into the action
* Four blank character sheets to record the statistics and deeds of your custom-made hero

So, not just pre-gens.

Thanks for posting. I'm looking forward to seeing the Ezren mini. In my mind, THAT'S what an adventuring wizard looks like. Forget the slippers and robes. Give him boots, pants, and a crossbow!

I wonder if these (links to Paizo product, "Game Pawns") are what they're talking about.

edit: In retrospect, seeing that the Beginner Box contains over 80 of the suckers, I doubt this is the case. My money is on cardboard counters.

I STILL use my old star frontiers counters in addition to minis. They are resources I refuse to lose!
