 Welcome to the Book of Many Things! Inside, you will
find a host of options that haven’t been made available for
the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game until now. Many of these
options have been created by request from players and
GMs alike, and I will continue to add more such options as I
continue to receive them.
As you can see to the right, I have dedicated this book to

They are always willing to try something new, going so far as
to volunteer for dangerous adventures and the like even if it
proves detrimental to do so.
Religious farrealmers exist, although their understanding of
worship is different from other races. They believe the gods
to be subservient to them, requiring their devotion to stay
strong. So long as a farrealmer’s deity continues to deliver
their power upon request, the farrealmer is happy to offer its
prayers.
Adventurers: It’s a brave new world, and the farrealmers
jump right into it by joining up with adventuring parties who
either don’t look too closely at their differences or don’t care.
Farrealmer adventurers are always willing to scout ahead, try
a proposed course of action, or put themselves at risk whether
they have been trained to do so or not. At times, a farrealmer
may begin speaking as if he knows something for a fact, only
to realize that is how it works in his world, not this one.

such attempts as untrustworthy.
Society: Swarmborn have no devoted society of their own,
but instead go about their lives as they did before they where
changed.
Relations: When swarmborn talk, they create an
understandable voice that sounds vaguely of swarming bees
or squealing rats. This can be disconcerting at first, but given
time, most get used to it. Given the chance to prove their
worth, swarmborn can quickly earn the respect of others.
Animals are not disturbed by swarmborn any more than

the swarmborn cannot reform until all of their gear-bound

Swarm Skin (SP): Beginning at 2nd level, swarmborn

Weakness: Swarmborn take half again as

Dispersion: As swarmborn grow weary, they
become increasingly agitated and find it more
difficult to hold themselves together. When struck
by a successful critical hit or dealt damage by a spell
or effect that affects an area, the swarmborn must
attempt a Fortitude Saving throw (DC equal to the
damage dealt) or immediately disperse into the
individual creatures that make up their consciousness.
The swarmborn’s equipment falls to the ground where they
stood while dispersed. Reforming from dispersion is a full-

material plane.
The fey creatures that hail from the Overrealm were
created by the gods to act as their first line of defense against
the Chaos, should it ever return from the distant realms to
which it was banished. Over the millennia, this directive has
lost meaning to the firstborn mortal races, and they grew
complacent. With no immediate threat to deal with, the fey
were happy to go about their lives, tending to their reflection
of the material plane.
When the first signs of chaos appeared, the fey who
encountered them were driven mad by what they saw.
Those who found them didn’t fare much better. By the time a
proper defense was mounted against the incursion, only one
member of that second group remained cognizant enough
to provide insight. The creatures who entered the Overrealm
were beaten back, but they had succeeded in sewing discord
among the fey.
Believing their success to be a lasting one, the archfey
returned to their divided regions to shore up borders and
guard their realms jealously. They turned a blind eye to
smaller, infrequent attacks, claiming the alien beasts were the
remains of the main force. It was hard to argue against this

foes at the end of a great war. At the end of that period, they
were freed by one of their own and a mixed group of races
calling themselves the Children of Destiny. Now that they
are back in our reality, the xendauni have cautiously begun
leaving their ancient home in search of more.
The xendauni have developed a natural way of hiding
themselves that they call face-blending. This technique allows
a xendauni to change its appearance rapidly to distract and
avoid enemies. Living amongst giant spiders and poisonous
flora, xendauni have also learned how to better resist toxins
and other effects which would harm them from the inside.
Physical Description: Xendauni are trim, athletic
humanoids with glossy black skin and eyes of a singular
shade of blue or purple. Male xendauni have no body hair
of their own, while females often have hair to match their
eyes, which on occasion can also be green. When excited or
worried, a xendauni’s eyes trail color as they move.
Xendauni children age at the same rate as humans and

Knacks: Invokers learn a number of knacks, or 0-level
spells, as noted on Table: Invoker Spells Known. These spells
are cast like any other spell, but they don’t consume any slots
and can be used again. Knacks cast using other spell slots
(due to metamagic feats, for example) consume spell slots
as normal.
Energy Blast (Su): As a standard action, an invoker can
channel the power of her patron into a ranged attack that
targets the AC of a single creature within 60 feet. The blast
deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage when not channeled through
a weapon. She can use energy blast at will, but only once per
round.
Beginning at 4th level, the invoker can expend one of her
invoker spell slots as a move action when using energy blast
to increase its damage by +2d6 per spell level. At 7th level,
she can do this as a swift action instead.

for a list of invocations the invoker can learn.
Pact Boon (Ex or Sp): At 3rd level, an invoker’s otherworldly
patron grants her additional strength, as a reward for her
loyalty, in the form of a powerful boon. Once this boon is
chosen, it cannot be changed. The boons presented below
are commanding leash, eldritch weapon, and tome of secrets,
but other boons may be available through other sources.
Commanding Leash (Ex): An invoker with this boon gains
an arcane familiar, as the wizard’s arcane bond class feature.
Her effective wizard level is equal to her invoker level -2.
Eldritch Weapon (Sp): An invoker with this boon gains
proficiency in a martial weapon of her choice. As a standard
action, the invoker can create and wield any weapon with which
she is proficient. This weapon is conjured as a supernatural
ability, and functions as a nonmagical, masterwork weapon
sized appropriately for the invoker.

Burn: Speaking truenames through words of power is
hard on both the truenamer’s physical body and his mind’s
grasp on reality. Generating effects with his words of power
can cause a state of exhaustion referred to as burn. For
each point of burn he accepts, a truenamer takes 1 point of
nonlethal damage per character level. This damage can’t be
healed by any means other than getting a full night’s rest,
which removes all burn and associated nonlethal damage.
Nonlethal damage from burn can’t be reduced or redirected,
and a truenamer incapable of taking nonlethal damage can’t
accept burn. A truenamer can accept only 1 point of burn per
round. This limit rises to 2 points of burn at 6th level, and rises
by 1 additional point every 3 levels thereafter. A truenamer
can’t choose to accept burn if it would put his total points
of burn higher than 3 + his Constitution modifier (though he
can be forced to accept more burn from a source outside his
control). A truenamer who has accepted burn never benefits
from abilities that allow his to ignore or alter the effects he
receives from nonlethal damage.
Even if he has a way to reduce the burn of the more
expensive effects created by speaking a word of power, the
truenamer always compares the original cost to his maximum
when determining if he can create an effect. For example, a
10th-level truenamer can’t use truename expertise to create
a regenerate effect, since that effect usually costs 6 burn,
even if he focuses first.
Focus (Su): If he has his lexicon in hand, a truenamer
can open it to a specific word of power as a move action.
Revealing the word in this way creates an extremely loud,
visible display in a 20-foot radius centered on the truenamer,
as cosmic power swirls around his. Focusing in this way
allows the truenamer to reduce the total burn cost of a word

 The Fae
Taking a cue from human kingdoms, the archfey have started dividing their realm up into areas dedicated specifically to
them. The Lord of Winter, for example, guards his territory against the encroaching Summer and her treant allies. As a result
of this selfishness, the larger purpose of the faerie folk has lost focus, and the people who call the Overrealm their home have
taken to joining factions of like-minded beings.
The Fae is one such faction. Congregating under the banner of keeping the Overrealm’s purpose at heart, they have started
training mortals for a battle that looms with the Chaos; eldritch beings with alien power beyond that of even the gods. The
leaders of the Fae seek individuals who live up to their ideals and show them the truth. But even these beings aren’t beyond
their own personal tastes. Six among them have been more prominent in garnering followers. They are the Beast, the Hag,
the Lady, and the Satyr.
The Beast believes that might can win the battle against Chaos. A warrior maiden, she seeks brave souls willing to lay their
lives down for family first.
The Changeling is the closest representative of chaos among the Fae, and the others use his gifts to learn more about their
enemy. The changeling’s dúlra are as diverse as he is, both in personality and ability.
The Lady, by contrast, takes those who would uphold order and the rules by which she guides them. She is swift to mark
her kind, and can be punitive, but hers are amongst the most devoted of dúlra.
The Hag, while not inherently evil, attracts the like in her search for worshipers. So long as they hold back the tide of chaos
that threatens everything, she is willing to grant them her blessings.
Sitting opposite the Hag is the Satyr, self-made lord of all things beautiful and creative. An arrogant trickster by nature, the
Satyr’s methods are nonetheless effective against his foes, and his dúlra are equally gifted of tongue and technique.
Finally, the Unicorn acts as the peace keeper for his brethren, and is seen as a loving father figure to the Beast’s wild
woman. Where she gathers strong, fierce warriors to protect the natural world, he encourages those who would keep it whole
and healthy without resorting to so much violence.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the dúlra.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: dúlra are proficient with
the following weapons: club, dagger, longbow, quarterstaff,
scythe, sickle, shortbow, shortspear, sling, and spear.
Dúlra are proficient with light and medium armor but are
prohibited from wearing metal armor; thus, they may
wear only padded, leather, or hide armor. A dúlra may
also wear wooden armor that has been altered by the
ironwood spell so that it functions as though it were
steel. Dúlra are proficient with shields (except
tower shields) but must use only those crafted
from wood.
A dúlra who wears prohibited armor or uses a
prohibited shield is unable to cast dúlra spells or use any of
her supernatural or spell-like class abilities while doing so
and for 24 hours thereafter.
Aura: Neutral good or evil Dúlra have a particularly powerful
aura corresponding to that alignment. A lawful dúlra’s
aura is always strongest, overshadowing her
moral alignment.
Spells: A dúlra casts divine spells, which are
drawn from the dúlra spell list. Her alignment may
restrict her from casting certain spells opposed to
her moral or ethical beliefs. A dúlra must choose
and prepare her spells in advance.
To prepare or cast a spell, the dúlra must
have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the
spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw
against a dúlra’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the
dúlra’s Wisdom modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a dúlra can cast
only a certain number of spells of each spell
level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table:
Dúlra. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she
has a high Wisdom score.

meditation on the mysteries of nature to regain her daily

Oracle’s Curse - Lame: One of your legs is permanently wounded, reducing your base land speed by 10 feet if your
base speed is 30 feet or more. If your base speed is less than 30 feet, your speed is reduced by 5 feet. Your speed is never
reduced due to encumbrance. At 5th level, you are immune to the fatigued condition (but not exhaustion).
At 10th level, your speed is never reduced by armor.
At 15th level, you are immune to the exhausted condition.
Arcane Bond - Shillelagh: Your shillelagh is a masterwork staff which can be used once per day to cast any one dúlra
spell, even if the spell is not prepared. This spell is treated like any other spell you cast, including casting time, duration, and
other effects dependent on your level. This spell cannot be modified by metamagic feats or other abilities.
Starting at 5th level, you can add additional magic abilities to your staff as if you had the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat.
Divine Bond - Shillelagh: You can enhance your staff as a standard action by calling upon the Lady’s aid for 1 minute per
dúlra level. When called, the Lady causes the staff to shed light as a torch. At 5th level, she grants the staff a +1 enhancement
bonus. For every three levels beyond 5th, the staff gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +6 at 20th level.
These bonuses can be added to the staff, stacking with existing staff bonuses to a maximum of +5, or they can be used to
add any of the following staff properties: axiomatic, brilliant energy, defending, disruption, evil, flaming, flaming burst, holy,
merciful, and speed. Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s cost. These bonuses are
added to any properties the staff already has (including the +1 bonus from the shillelagh effect), but duplicate abilities do not
stack. The bonus and properties granted by the Lady are determined when she is called and cannot be changed until she
is called again. The Lady imparts no bonuses if the weapon is held by anyone other than you. These bonuses apply to only
one end of the staff per use. You can use this ability once per day at 5th level, and one additional time per day for every four

Investment Maturity: At 16th level, an heir apparent has
proven himself, at least to his family. He gains a modest
keep of his own, which has been built in secret over time
in a location of his choosing and revealed to him when he
receives his stipend at that level. The keep is functional as
a base of operations for the heir and his companions, and
he does not need to pay any fees (taxes or otherwise) for its
basic upkeep. Any additions made to the keep must still be
paid for by the heir.
*Note*: The heir is encouraged to use the rules presented in
the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Ultimate Campaign book
to build his keep, which begins as a noble villa. Otherwise,
the keep itself counts as a permanent mage’s magnificent
mansion except that there is no magical component to it.
The staff is real, and the keep can be returned to at any time

tragically, or the orphaned hero was sent away to
protect him from a greater threat than he may face
on his own. Whatever the reason, he has turned fate
to his advantage, becoming a symbol of hope for
those he protects in secret.
Heroic Agenda: At 1st level, an orphaned hero
gains Disguise as a class skill and chooses two
adventuring goals. He cannot choose the same
goal twice. One of these goals becomes the hero’s
social identity, while the other counts as his vigilante
identity. This otherwise functions as the dual
identity vigilante class feature. This ability updates
adventuring goals and replaces new prospects. It
is up to the orphaned hero to feign being weaker
than his two goals allow, so he instinctively takes a
-1 penalty to all ability checks, attack rolls, saving
throws, and skill checks and a -2 penalty to damage
rolls while in his social identity.
Starting at 12th level, each of the orphaned
hero’s adventuring goals improves, as if he chose
them with new prospects. He no longer takes a
penalty to attacks or damage while in his social
persona, though he still tries to avoid doing anything
suspicious. If he has two goals that grant 3/4 attack
bonus, he gains 2 temporary hit points per class
level the first time he enters his vigilante identity in a
day. These temporary hit points remain, even if the
orphaned hero changes to his social identity.
Social and Vigilante Talents: The orphaned
hero can use his personal training to gain social
and vigilante talents. If he uses this to pick a social
talent, his next choice must be a vigilante talent, and
vice versa.
Inheritance (Ex): Beginning at 4th level, the
orphaned hero’s stipend is always 25,750 gp. He

You just turned nineteen. Do you feel, different? Are strange powers
manifesting themselves around you? Did a wild animal approach you
and start speaking through your mind? You are awakened...
On the world of Grimaton, young men and women gain extraordinary
powers when the two moons cross paths in the night sky. Join a variety
of authors as they share their tales from this world where magic is a
mystery and the awakened are celebrated or hunted, depending on
where they come into their gift. And, coming soon to Kickstarter: The
Awakened: Isle of Bones and The Awakened III

The Player’s Advantage series, by Charles Plemons

and Samurai Sheepdog, looks for new options for long-
played classes; and now we’re bringing those options to
Pathfinder!
Starting with Player’s Advantage: Fighter, we look at
new ways to play classes in the Pathfinder Roleplaying
Game. Don’t just play a class, take the advantage!

It’s been 400 years since the xendauni were banished from
their home by the elementals who now rule the continent of
Pnumadesi unopposed. Now, Arawn Segomo, sentinel prince
of the xendauni, has returned in search of the Gems of Power
that will free his people. In 2018, author Kevin Glusing finally
returns to the world of Pnumadesi, revising his books and
finishing the story that he started writing under the pen name
Edward Larel.

In Mystical: Kingdom of Monsters, by Northwinter Press,

you play as a Monster Trainer, utilizing your unique talents to
travel through a realm known only as The Kingdom in search
of monsters to capture and raise. Along the way, you’ll find
upwards of 154 monsters; some new and some Pathfinder
favorites.
Capturing monsters grants you access to spells that you
can use to either battle other trainers in the arenas that
exist throughout the Kingdom or combat evils in your own
or another campaign world. As you master the spells those
monsters grant you, you can capture even stronger monsters
and learn different spells on your journey to become one of
the greatest trainers there is.
Includes new feats, companions, spells and magic items
for would-be trainers on their quests, and a brief description
of several locations throughout the Kingdom (including where
to capture certain monsters) can be found as well!
