FAQs
How many pawns are included in this box?

What material are the pawns made from?

Do I need to assemble the pawns?
Yes, the cardstock pawns need to be slotted into the included plastic bases for use on the tabletop.
Are these pawns suitable for Dungeons & Dragons?
Yes, these pawns are designed for Pathfinder but are fully compatible with Dungeons & Dragons and other fantasy tabletop RPGs that use miniatures.

The box includes a wide variety such as soldiers, spellcasters, pirates, farmers, innkeepers, elves, dwarves, lizardfolk, and troop NPCs like military units and town guards.
Are the pawns double-sided?
Yes, each pawn contains a beautiful full-color image on both sides.
Troubleshooting
Pawns do not fit securely into the bases.
Ensure you are using the correct size base for the pawn. Gently adjust the pawn's slot or the base's slot if there is a slight manufacturing variation. If a pawn is too loose, a tiny piece of tape or a dab of removable adhesive can help secure it.
Cardstock pawns are bending or creasing.
Store pawns flat in a protective box or folder. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them. If a pawn has creased, try gently flattening it under a heavy book for a period.
Difficulty distinguishing pawns at a glance.
Organize pawns by type (humanoids, monsters, etc.) or by the encounter they are intended for. Consider using a small marker or colored sticker on the base to denote specific characters or status effects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the pawns, carefully remove them from the cardstock sheets. Each pawn is designed to slot into a corresponding size of plastic base. Ensure the pawn is inserted securely into the base for stability during gameplay. The double-sided nature of the pawns allows for easy flipping if a creature's state changes (e.g., from 'unharmed' to 'wounded', though this is typically managed by the GM's notes).
Compatibility: These pawns are designed for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game but are fully compatible with any tabletop fantasy RPG that utilizes miniatures or standees for character and creature representation. The plastic bases are standard size, allowing them to mix seamlessly with other popular miniature brands.
Care: To maintain the quality of the pawns, store them flat or in a suitable container to prevent bending. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture, which can degrade the cardstock and fade the colors. For cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe away any dust or grime; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
