Command the Battlefield in Pathfinder Second Edition
Pathfinder has always rewarded players who think tactically — positioning, action economy, teamwork. Battlecry! is a dedicated hardcover sourcebook for Pathfinder Second Edition (PF2e) that puts martial command, warfare, and organized conflict at the centre of the table. Published by Paizo in 2025, this is the supplement that war-minded players and Game Masters running large-scale conflict campaigns have been waiting for. The sketch cover edition makes it even more distinctive — the striking pencil sketch artwork on the cover offers a glimpse into the creative process behind Pathfinder's iconic visual identity.
What's Inside
Battlecry! is a supplement for Pathfinder Second Edition, expanding the game's rules for warfare, military tactics, and the kind of epic, army-shaking conflicts that shape the world of Golarion. Expect new character options built around battlefield roles — commanders, tacticians, soldiers, and the support specialists who keep an army alive. The book is packed with full-colour illustrations on nearly every page, bringing Golarion's military culture, its wars, and its warriors to vivid life. Rules expansions, new feats, equipment, and the GM tools needed to run campaigns where war is not just a backdrop but the entire story are all part of the package.
The sketch cover edition is a collector's variant — the same complete content as the standard hardcover, presented with an alternate cover showcasing original pencil sketch artwork. For players who appreciate the craft behind the finished page, it's a genuinely handsome addition to the shelf.
Who Should Pick This Up
Battlecry! is written for experienced Pathfinder Second Edition players and Game Masters. This is not a starting point — you will need the Pathfinder Second Edition Core Rulebook to use this book at the table. It's aimed squarely at groups who want to take their campaigns beyond the dungeon and into the broader conflict of nations, armies, and war. Players building martially focused characters will find new options that reward the kind of tactical, disciplined play that PF2e does so well. GMs running campaigns in Golarion — or any world where factions clash and battles decide history — will find tools that bring that scope to life.
