Today I’m going to take a look at one of the newest and most interesting products coming out of the Paizo gaming foundry. Now I’ve played me a boatload of Pathfinder over the years, heck, I was one of the lucky few at GenCon that actually got to pull my Core copy off the pyramid and then rush over to artist’s alley to have Wayne Reynolds sign it, so I’m always on the lookout for what they will do next.The Advanced Class Guide takes a very interesting turn within the game, basically melding iconic core classes together to make...
