They list life paths for child characters to choose from, this give flavor to a would be child adventurer. The next are traits, They have a Trait called Old Soul which gets around the character having sever penalties to their stats and limitation to choosing only NPC classes.
A list of feats that you can choose to make your young character special. These have decent special effects and help to balance out young characters Lastly Archetypes, Ageless (Oracle), Destined Blade (Magus), Reincarnated Master (Monk), Street Rat (Rogue), and Wunderkind (Wizard) each of these are good options for the young characters allowing them to get around not being able to choose an adventuring class, good role playing options for each. These allow the child the options to adventure with the grown ups with being too penalized. Final Thoughts

My three favorite Archetyopes were the Noir Sleuth, Profane Puppeteer, and the Silver Gun They fit in very well with my style of play. All of the Archetypes have something good to give to the table. No balance issue I could see. One of the things I like about Wayward Rogue Publishing is that they make some evil archetypes for a GM to use The Sinister Savant and Vile Conduit, not only making this useful to players but Also A good tool for GM's The Color from Space Implement is a very good tool for a GM to use for a Antagonist in a occult based game. Eyes of Lassitude, Unnatural Growth, Disintegrating Touch, and Eat Ego, make for a nasty villain to throw at your PC's. Many of the new focus powers possess a strong Lovecraftian theme base on madness and the Great Old Ones, many of these are good options for a GM bent on causing his or her PC's to go completely insane.

Emotional Sensitivity is a great class skill for the Empath and I have not found a single emotion in the list I would not use the ability seems balanced and well thought out. I love the Deep Bond ability, allowing a fighter or other low Will character to use the Empath’s Willpower Save and having the Empath able to heal him makes him a great support caster. The four archetypes (The Central Mind, Instinctual Driver, Sensorial, and the Sycophant of Pain) are well done and give a lot of flavor to the Empath with out over shadowing it. Final Thoughts

Scott Holmes. Just picked up Christina Stiles Presents: Races Revised Cackle of the Gnolls What can I say? If you are a GM and want to use Gnolls to put your party through the ringer, or a play wanting to play something interesting and challenging... This book is for you. A full write up for a 0HD Gnoll, complete with alternate racial traits, archetypes, feats, gear, and spells.
The writing by Mike Welham was top notch, The lay out is what everyone expects to see in a Super Genius Games Product, well written, informative, and lots of great options to bring this race to life. Will I play a Gnoll using this book? Yes.
Overall this book is useful and fun I give it an easy 5 stars. I bought this last night and gave it a look. Like almost all of the Bullet Point series I was happily impressed. These feats let you use the iconic Cure Light Wounds spell in fun new ways. Bolstering Cure: Allows you to over heal a target hit points healed over max HP become temporary hit points. Allowing you to use Cure Light Wound preemptively. Cloak of Curing: Allows you to hold a Cure Light Wounds spell and have someone activate it by touching you. I can see all kinds of use for this. Lay on Cure: Target your self with a Cure Light as a move action. YES PLEASE! Lingering Cure: Heal more over time, there is nothing wrong with preemptive healing. Moderate Mastery: Use any of these feats with Cure Moderate Wounds pure awesome! Shared Cure: Heal them and you at the same time! Very good choice. Reinforced Cure: Cast a useful 0 level spell along with Cure Light Wounds, You will see a lot more castings of guidance, resistance, vigor, and virtue with this feat. Overall these are great and with the exception of Moderate Mastery all can be taken at first level. Most having a prerequisite of one rank in an appropriate skill and the ability to cast Cure Light Wounds. Will these see use in my game? Yes they will.
My over all Rating: 5 stars.
Having just read through this book I must say I was impressed.
It includes all the rules needed to include Relics into your game, including alternate ways of paying for them. Sample Relics, rules on how to design your own relics and two sample relic templates Staff and Weapon. My only want is more Relic Templates such as Armor, Rings, Wondrous Items etc. These can be used as plot devices, rewards, and more. I plan on using this book in the next game I run. At $3.99 it is well worth its price much like any Super Genius Games product. It is a fitting supplement to the Genius Guide to the Godling, Mystic Godling and Godling Ascendant books I recommend every book in this line. My Rating 4.5 rounded up to a 5 (Hint: more templates please) Scott W. Holmes This book is a solid choice for anyone wanting to make a catfolk character. It was well written and includes everything you need to play the race and then some. It was well written, the art was good, and will add to anyone wanting to play a catfolk. One of the big things for me was adding either a bite or claws as alternate racial traits. This is something I have always thought a Cat-type should have. The price of $1.99 is a winner here you get a good value for what you pay.
I rate this a five star rating good writing, good art, new traits, items overall very useful book. PS Write a Guide to the VANARA and it is bought...Just sayin' I picked this up tonight, and not only did I get more love for the Luckbringer I got a little gem of a feat for the Time Thief/Time Warden. Using cross promotion is just plain brilliant, it is exactly what got me to purchase 101 Renegade Class Feats. The PDF was well written, and it made me want to build a Luckbringer when we run the Skull and Shackles Adventure Path. Not only that but the Auspicious Escape feat will be used by my Time Thief. Awesome work from Rite Publishing I highly recommend this PDF not only if you have a Luckbringer but also if you have a Taskshaper, Time Thief or a Time Warden, if you don't have the Luckbringer do yourself a favor buy it then buy this, you won't be disappointed. May rating 5 stars, it will be used at my game table and it should be used at yours. What can I say, out of all the classes Paizo released from the Advanced Players Guide, Ultimate Magic, and Ultimate Combat the one I liked the most was the Gunslinger. So when The Geniuses released the Grit and Gunslingers book I was a happy customer. The grit abilities, feats, alternates to the grit mechanic, archetypes I got so much I had to double check the amount I was paying for it. This book is plain awesome, it even included ways to use a gunslinger even when the GM does not want Guns in his campaign. Like most of my reviews I won't pick it apart and talk about each item Dark Mistress and Endzeitgeist do that much better than I. What I can do is tell you that this product is a good buy at double the price. It well done, adds a lot to the Gunslinger has options for games with no gunpowder, gives lots of options for players and GM's alike. The rules crunch is balanced and fun. My rating is 5 Stars What can I say I like the Super Genius products I buy.
Some did not like the CMB/CMD based judgements I however thought they were a good addition. The Base Class was well done a non caster Inquisitor cool options and can bring a lot to the Fantasy Horror monster hunter type. Nothing over powered, most of it useful, very flavorful, and left me wanting more. If you like Inquisitors this is well worth the 4 times it price.
I picked this up because a friend of mine wanted to play a half medusa, she loved it! I read through to see if it would be a problem in my game and found a little treasure chest of useful stuff. I like the fact that it was equally useful for players as it was for the GM. The half medusa was well rounded and not over powering. The Medusa racial class and Snake bodied templates have been very useful at my table. The price is well worth it, I feel if you purchase this PDF you won't be disappointed. My Rating a solid 4 Stars First I got to say Chris Field and Louis Porter JR need to do more things like this book. It was well done, well written, looked good and over all it added to rules that I thought were a very good idea by Paizo. Taking these rules and making them something I could do out side the Jade Regent Adventure Path. I love the adventure seeds that were included in this. The break down it was used at my gaming table, well written, fun expanded on a set of rule that were optional. My Rating 5 Stars When Rite Publishing put this out I was all over it, the concept of a 3rd party publisher supporting the works of other publishers was nothing short of brilliant. I have used this already for the Godling, Luckbringer, Wolfshifter and Time Thief. It has me asking for Øone Roleplaying Games to release the Guttermage as a solo PDF I'd buy it in a heart beat. The only flaw in the book was some of the Genius Characters were given feats that they already had but it was far from being a deal breaker. If you like 3rd party material do your self a favor but this book. Show Rite Publishing and all the 3rd Party guys out there that supporting each other is a good thing. The book was well done, it has been used at my table, it supports other 3rd party publishers. A couple of errors in feats that were duplicated... My rating a solid 4 Stars This was amazing, just the Wandslinger alone made this PDF worth it. The feats were all good (I really loved the ones based around Pistol Whipping people.) I also thought the Monster Template: Gunslinger Wraith was very well done. Buccaneer of the Black Powder "Arrrrr" I love how it works. If you have a Gunslinger this is well worth it it adds to your selection, if your GM hates Guns have him look at the Wandslinger it is a good compromise. It was well put together, the mechanics work, and it adds to the Gunslinger in a good way. My Rating since I can't give it a 4.5 I'll bump up since it has seen use at my table already. This was my first introduction to Rite Publishing, and I have to tell you I was amazed. I purchased this because I read it was inspired by the Time Thief a class that I really enjoy playing. Loved every bit of this class, it had flavor, a fun to use mechanic. Like the Time Thief it was a different take on a martial/skill monkey. The very next character I'm going to play is a Luckbringer. I could go on and tell you all the features but others have done a good job of that already. What I will say is this, I would have paid $9.00 for this PDF and still would have said it was worth the money, both from a GM point of view as well as a Player's point of view. Do I recommend this absolutely. Not only did I buy this it impressed me enough to pick up Secrets of the Gunslinger, 101 New Skill Uses, 101 Renegade Class Feats, and #30 Flesh Graphs. None of these disappointed me. If you are worried about 3rd party products do your self a favor buy this class and give it a shot I'm sure you will like. My rating a well deserved 5 stars. Read my first piece from TPK Games, and from what I've seen I liked it. The story involving Raxath'Viz is worth the $2.99 price alone. Great NPC awesome story hook, traps were all very well done. I love the whole quest of the villain to bring back a dead god. With the break down of the Villian by his deeds would make for a very good adventure path. My only 2 thoughts at this point having stat blocks for Raxath'Viz at lower levels say 3rd,7th,and 12th would have rocked, the art was ok but needed a bit more. I loved the layout of this product its overall look was real nice. I give this 4 out of 5 stars it is well worth the $2.99 price to have a good Kobold Villian for any game you are running. Bullet Points: 7 Time Thief & Time Warden Feats Just purchased this PDF and as expected the Genius' did not disappoint. Like all of their bullet points line it is three pages the Cover with a nice pic of Jenny Poussin in her Time Thief outfit.
All of these work very well with both the Time Thief and the Time Warden. Well written, easy to understand, and don't over power the existing classes. If you play a Time Thief or a Time Warden then this 1 dollar purchase is worth every penny, If you don't have the Time Thief or Time Warden I highly recommend them as they are excellent base classes. It is because of these types of PDFs that I got back into gaming. I give this 5 stars good feats well worth a dollar. Realmwalker This is my first written review and it is about one of my favorite topics...Monkeys. The total page count was three pages with page two having the three races and two feats, last page being OGL and Credits. Mangani

The feats were well balanced and fit with the three races listed. My overall rating 5 stars I would love to see more races done like this. |
