Pathfinder RPG: Battlecry! Hardcover

When Diplomacy Fails, War Begins

Pathfinder Second Edition is one of the most mechanically rich tabletop roleplaying games on the market — a system built for players who love deep character options, tactical combat, and a world that rewards engagement. Battlecry! takes that foundation and turns it toward the thunder of marching armies and the chaos of the battlefield. Published by Paizo Inc., this hardcover supplement answers a question that every long-running Pathfinder campaign eventually asks: what happens when the conflict goes beyond the dungeon and nations go to war?

Take the Fight to the Battlefield

Battlecry! is a comprehensive mass combat and warfare supplement for Pathfinder Second Edition, designed to bring the scale and drama of military conflict to your table. When diplomacy between the nations of Golarion collapses and swords are drawn across borders, the heroes at your table shouldn't just be witnesses — they should be the ones turning the tide. This book gives Game Masters and players the tools to run military campaigns, siege warfare, and large-scale battles without losing the personal stakes that make roleplaying games compelling.

Inside you'll find expanded rules for mass combat that integrate seamlessly with PF2e's existing framework, along with new character options tailored for soldiers, commanders, and battlefield specialists. New archetypes, feats, and abilities let players lean into military roles — whether that means leading a cavalry charge, holding a fortified position under siege, or navigating the brutal politics of wartime command. Game Masters gain encounter-building tools, campaign frameworks for wartime narratives, and guidance for weaving individual heroics into the larger fabric of a war.

Who Picks Up This Book

Battlecry! is written for existing Pathfinder Second Edition players and Game Masters — this is a supplement, not a standalone game, and requires the Pathfinder Second Edition Core Rulebook to use. It's the right purchase for groups whose campaigns have grown in scope, whose heroes have risen to prominence in Golarion, and who want the rules to match the stakes their story demands. Veterans looking to run their first military campaign, players wanting character options built around martial command, and GMs ready to design a war as the backdrop for their next arc will all find exactly what they need here.
