Chapter 5: "Sins of the Saviors"
by Stephen S. Greer

After defeating the giants of Mokmurian, the heroes discover that Karzoug, an ancient wizard from the long-dead empire of Thassilon, has returned to life. From his city fortress of Xin-Shalast high in the mountains, he has been using the giants to harvest souls to reclaim his lost power.

The secret to defeating him before he can reclaim his realm and enslave the region lies hidden in a deadly dungeon called Runeforge. After defeating the dragon that guards the entrance to Runeforge, the PCs must rave the haunted vaults below to discover the ancient forge capable of empowering weapons so that they can strike true against Karzoug. Yet in order to master this ancient magic, the heroes of Sandpoint must embrace the darkest magic of ancient Thassilon as their own.

This volume of Pathfinder includes a detailed description of the goddess of monsters and her hideous minions; an examination of ancient magics from the ancient empire of Thassilon for use in your campaign, including rules for the lost art of sin magic; and six new monsters.

For characters of 12th to 13th level.

Pathfinder is Paizo Publishing's 96-page, perfect-bound, full-color softcover Adventure Path book printed on high-quality paper that releases in a monthly volume. Each volume is brought to you by the same staff which brought you Dragon and Dungeon magazines for over five years. It contains an in-depth Adventure Path scenario, stats for about a half-dozen new monsters, and several support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Because Pathfinder uses the Open Game License, it is 100% compatible with the world's most popular fantasy roleplaying game.

ISBN-13: 978-1-60125-040-7

NOTE: Copies sold as "Non-Mint" have been dinged or bent, or have some markings on the cover, so we're making them available at a discounted price. While they have some cosmetic damage, they'll make great second reading copies. There will be no refunds on non-mint copies.

For Pathfinder #5, we asked a small army of authors to send us some spells and magic items that had a "Thassilonian" feel to them. As it turned out, we got about twice as many as we really had room to print. Rather than just cut the second half out and throw it away, we decided to cut the second half out and throw it into a free web enhancement. To download a FREE PDF of the Pathfinder #5 web supplement, click here (180 KB zip PDF). WARNING: Some of the magic items may not be wise for your PCs to use. They were, after all, invented by the runelords and their minions!

Yeah that's one cool wizard... A little longer in the tooth than the rest of the iconics as well.

Check it out! A non-lame wizard. Very, very nice!

What is that slight blue-white glow coming out of his clenched left hand I wonder...

darkbard,

I hope it's not asking too much, but I wonder if it's possible to get an image of this latest iconic against a white background, similar to what was done with the previous iconics. It's not that I'm not absolutley drooling over the current image--I most assuredly am--but rather that I cut & paste the images into a neutral background "group image" to use as images of the characters in my game....

If this is possible, a most hearty "thank you!"

Very cool. He's got a certain Sean Connery look to him. I'm digging him!

He looks like he'd make a great Ben Kenobi/mentor character. He's got a certain air of nobilty to him. And even though he may be older, you wouldn't want to mess with him. I like him already.

This is certainly possible. It'll probably happen later next week. I still haven't written up his backstory and all that, but it's on the schedule for quite soon.

In the dragon article, will the dragon's heads be brand new or will they look the same as they do in the MM?

See tonight's blog post for answer. I think that the dragon stats are OGL, but not the dragons pics, so Paizo had to do their own concept for them.

Paizo Employee James Jacobs (Editor-in-Chief, Pathfinder),

Go L 68 Fiendish Tyrannosauru avatar

Correct. And we wanted to come up with our own looks for dragons, in any event; they're a pretty iconic monster, and it's cool, I think, to be able to look at a dragon and say, "OH! That's a Golarion Blue!"

I was looking at my subscription page, and it said to expect this in late Jan/early Feb.

Is that right?

Mine says the same thing. I had hoped that it would come early Jan. Paizo must still really be struggling to catch up with their production schedule.

Probably somewhere between that week and the week following it. You're giving them 2-3 days to get them in stock, inspect and start the export procedure.

I hope by the end of 2008 there's enough fabulous art for Paizo to put out a Pathfinder Calendar. I'm sure there's even enough 'B' art to put in a few surprises.

Somewhere in these threads one of the Paizonians said they had received them on the 9th (yesterday).
Edit: Actually, correction. Expecting it on the 9th. Whether it arrived yesterday or not remains to be seen (or read).

My order status has changed from "pre-order" to "pending" so I presume they have it in stock and are preparing to ship it.

It has arrived, and subs have already started to go out.

LurkerBeneath,

This discussion is attached to
http://paizo.com/store/paizo/v5748btpy7xpv
but there's another listing for this product at
http://paizo.com/store/paizo/v5748btpy815p
with no discussion attached and no way that I can see to start one.
Why the two listings?

The first listing is for the print edition. The second listing is for what we call a "parent product," which has two children: the print edition and the PDF. Right now, the PDF is still only available to subscribers, which is why you can't see the difference between the two. Once the product's street date arrives, the PDF will become available from the parent product listing.

If you look at the parent product for Pathfinder 4, you can see what I mean: http://paizo.com/pathfinder/v5748btpy80hm.

LurkerBeneath,

OK. Three questions:
Why is there no way to start a discussion of the parent product?
Why is there no link from the parent product to the print edition? The only way I've found to navigate from one listing to the other is to add the product to my cart and click the link there.
When is the "street date"? I stopped at my FLGS Thursday 1/31 and they said they were still waiting for #5.

Looks like we had a little data problem. It's fixed now—and while I was at it, I moved this discussion to the parent.

LurkerBeneath wrote:

You shouldn't ever really need to know about children. I assume the only reason that you're interested is that you want to be able to find this thread... and the discussion should be on the parent, which it is now.

LurkerBeneath wrote:

The street date was this past Wednesday. We shipped to distribution almost two weeks ago, so they should check the status of their order with their distributor.

We don't have any plans at this time to reprint Pathfinders #1, #3, or #5. We do have stock of the other three, but it is going fast. I expect #6 to sell out shortly.
