This is a remarkably well put-together document, with everything being easilly to find and reference. My review would be a bit higher, yet for some bizarre reason, the Diplomacy check modifiers and DCs are completely abscent - an oversight that you won't notice until you're in-game and need the information.

Fantastic! A great help that EVERY Pathfinder GM could use! The reduced price just can't be beat.

This is one of the best documents you could ever purchase for pathfinder, and I wish more systems had something like this. I am usually highly skeptical of paying for products (especially from 3rd party), especially those I cannot review before purchasing, but this Reference document has helped immensely.

Most "Rules Compendiums" are highly verbose and full of fluff text, which negates the purpose of what they are supposed to do: reduce time researching the rules which are causing conflict at the table. This booklet contains nothing but easy-to-read tables, diagrams and examples, all organized in a simple and coherent fashion.

Thanks Myth Merchant!

As a long time gamer, I actually bought this document for the few newbies I have around the table. The expectations on whether I myself would find it valuable was not huge. I am therefore positive surprised and very happy to announce that this in fact is the one and only reference I'll be using from now on :-) It's simply boiled down every important rule into a condensed but nevertheless still very readable format.

The fun about PFRPG are - partly - the incredible, long term developed rules which enables you to flesh out spectacular battles and skills. With this handy formatted rules, both experienced and new players can navigate easily and look up forgotten quirks and ride DCs without stumpin'the'judge.

Our group has moved from 4E D&D to Pathfinder and there is a notable step up in complexity. As DM I found this booklet immensely useful, both as a quick introduction to the most important rules before we played and as a go to reference during play. It cut down reference to the big rulebook to a minimum. It is well written and attractively and well laid out in colour. The one page per concept idea works very well in practice allowing you to rapidly find the information you're after. A really excellent product. Thank you.

I'm new to Pathfinder. The prospect of hunting down important information that's spread out over hundreds of pages was daunting enough to give me second thoughts about getting into such a richly developed game. The SORD PF reference is a godsend. It's given me the courage and resources to tame the beastly task of learning this system. Thank you so much for producing such a finely crafted and valuable tool!

I think is an excellent product. Well worth the $5. Using these very handy sheets, I discovered that we were not playing a few rules correctly. It's changed the game for the better. I printed them out in thick card stock paper. I know that they will get worn out otherwise!

Excellent resource! I use it with when play with my children and they (8 &9) find it very helpful. It has almost every tid bit of combat knowledge you could hope for in a quick reference manual. I hope his next project is a quick reference manual for rolling up individual character classes with suggestions for different styles of play (such as Ranger two weapon style vs Ranger archer).

Also it would have been awesome if it referred you to the page numbers for the rule section in the core book, but I am sure there are legal reasons why it does not do that.

It really speeds up play and allows folk to see visually how the rules play out.

Great product! All core battle rules (and not only) in few pages.

Straight forward and easy to use, has most things we want to look up right at our finger tips which helps us keep our game moving along quickly. Worth the few bucks it cost!

Easier to browse than the hardcover, less intrusive than having laptops and tablets at the table can be, SORD PF makes the crunch of Pathfinder manageable. It's all there, it's indexed clearly, and at only 38 pages of mechanics it'll fit into a folio with your character sheet or GM notes easily.

There's only one thing 'wrong' with SORD PF and it's relatively minor: It's got SO MUCH information packed onto every page that there's not enough margin if you want to hole punch it! Thankfully, sheet protectors are cheap and ensure one copy will last years.

This SORD for the pathfinder game has been invaluable at helping me learn the complexities of combat within the pathfinder game. Reading the CORE rulebook was easy enough, but so much info was spread throughout that it was hard to keep a grasp on the basics without feeling lost. This very concise and well laid out aid was just what i needed to help me manage combat as well as become very familiar with the games basic mechanics. In time i'm sure it will help speed up our game as well, but for the moment it is doing a wonderful job at helping me learn the game at the same time!! Thanks for this!

There is not much to say about this product other than "Great Formatting". It is often difficult to review an SRD since the content was penned by another. One of the things that has made this very useful to me is the layout, the formatting, and indexing in the PDF. It has allowed me to look at rules in a heartbeat and not loose pace with the story I am telling. It was completely worth the 4.95 I paid for it, and although an impulse buy for me it has been used more often than not.

Please pick this up if you are running a Pathfinder game, or playing it at a convention. It is even more valuable if you have an ipad.

Absolutely invaluable, and shows the same excellent design ethic as the 3.5 and PFRPG Beta version before it. A must-buy if you're a PFRPG ref.

SORD PF is either the boiled down distillate of basic combat mechanics for Pathfinder, or a GM's shield on steroids and a half-gallon of high test coffee. The stated goal is to reduce combat time by 15 minutes per encounter and I can see where this will deliver.

Gone are the days of flipping through a 575 page core rule book. At 36 pages of usable material, SORD PF takes all the frustration out of finding how to break out of a grapple, or just how much damage a 7th level Cleric will do to undead when they channel energy.

Weapons tables, skill checks, movement, special attacks, fire and lava damage - it's all here. As an added bonus the PDF is completely bookmarked so in electronic format it's a snap to find a topic area, or simply CTRL-F to find that specific bit of info you need for your grapple zealous Bard or the fighter who's stumbled in to a nest of acid spitting lava golem.

This is worth the cover price of $4.95 to be able to honestly speed up your encounters, keeping them fun and a lot less frustrating.
