Pathfinder: A Pocket Full Of Magic And Monsters
There are two new pocket edition rulebooks due to be released for Pathfinder. It’s possible these will be some of the last Pathfinder books you’ll find released pocket-sized before Pathfinder 2.0 comes out and casts doubt on everything. So pick up the Ultimate Magic and Bestiary 4 for a nice pint-sized pal-around.
Exactly what it says on the tin folks. These two books are expected to be up for pre-order come Apriltime. So be sure and keep an eye out for them, assuming you can spot things that are roughly pocket sized…
