This comprehensive 256-page hardcover reference reveals the martial
secrets of the Pathfinder RPG rules like never before! Tons of new
tricks and techniques for combat-oriented character classes put a sharp
edge on your weapons and a sure step in your tactics, ranging from new
barbarian rage powers, new cavalier orders, tons of new rogue talents,
and more than 60 new archetypes for nearly every Pathfinder RPG
character class, including spellcasters like wizards and clerics.
Ultimate Combat also introduces three new Pathfinder RPG classes: the
ninja, samurai, and gunslinger! The ninja blends the subterfuge of the
rogue with high-flying martial arts and assassination techniques. The
samurai is an unstoppable armored warrior who lives by a strong code of
honor--with or without a master. The gunslinger combines the fighter's
martial prowess with a new grit mechanic that allows her to pull off
fantastic acts with a pistol or rifle. All this plus tons of new armor
and weapons, a complete treatment of firearms in the Pathfinder RPG, a
vast array of martial arts, finishing moves, vehicle combat, duels, and
new combat-oriented spells for every spellcasting class in the game!
