Two new pocket-sized Pathfinder guides are out–Ultimate Magic and Bestiary 4. It’s possible these will be the last of the pint-sized Pathfinder printings, so grab 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 out now, both in realspace stores and in the digital realm, if your tastes run in that direction. So whether you’re suiting up to rave the ravages of the Daystar or are gearing up for the Grid, you can still get your hands on Pathfinder.
