Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – “Grindylow” Promo Card

About this expansion

Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – “Grindylow” Promo Card is a 2014 February Subscriber’s Promo Card for 1–4 players, with a listed play time of 90 minutes.

This Monster card presents the Grindylow as an aberration, goblin, aquatic, and veteran enemy. Its core challenge is a combat defeat check with a difficulty of 12.

• Card type: Monster
• Traits: Aberration, Goblin, Aquatic, Veteran
• Defeat check: 12 (Combat)
• Special rule: The Grindylow may not be evaded.
• Scenario-based difficulty: Its difficulty to defeat increases by the adventure deck number of the current scenario, if any.

The Grindylow’s fixed combat check gives the encounter a clear starting point, while its scenario-related power can increase the challenge based on the adventure deck number. This makes the card’s stated difficulty depend on the current scenario whenever an adventure deck number applies.

Because the Grindylow may not be evaded, it must be addressed through its combat defeat check rather than avoided. Its combination of monster traits and escalating difficulty makes this promo card a distinct encounter within the Rise of the Runelords setting.

The “Grindylow” Promo Card is identified as the February Subscriber’s Promo Card. Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – “Grindylow” Promo Card adds a specifically defined monster challenge with an aquatic, veteran identity and a rule that directly connects its difficulty to the current scenario.
