Shattered Star is the eleventh campaign to grace the pages of the Pathfinder Adventure Path series, and ran from August 2012 through January 2013. It returned to Pathfinder's Varisian roots in a celebration of 10 years of Paizo and five years of Pathfinder.
“From the ashes of Thassilon, an ancient power shall rise again!
The ancient empire of the runelords may be long dead, yet the legacy of Thassilon continues to haunt the frontier realm of Varisia. With the rise of one runelord only narrowly thwarted, Korvosa reeling after the curse of the Crimson Throne nearly brought the city to its knees, and Riddleport rebuilding after a close call with a falling star, the people of Varisia fear that the greatest threat to their land has yet to play its hand. When agents of the newest Pathfinder Society lodge in Magnimar learn of a fragmented artifact scattered throughout the lands of old Thassilon, it falls to a new band of heroes to step in and gather up the seven fragments of this Shattered Star. For if the greatest prize of Thassilon's first ruler cannot save Varisia... what can?
The Shattered Star Adventure Path is a first in Paizo's Adventure Path line—a complete campaign set after the events of previous Adventure Paths. Shattered Star serves as a spiritual sequel to Rise of the Runelords, Curse of the Crimson Throne, and Second Darkness alike, yet it delves into a brand new storyline, making it as good as a group's first introduction to Varisia as a return to old stomping grounds. The Shattered Star Adventure Path focuses on the hunt for a sundered artifact, its pieces scattered throughout the land in some of its most dangerous and notorious dungeons—with the exception of the city of Magnimar, every location featured in the Shattered Star Adventure Path is brand new and filled with both dangers and treasures alike!”
I will use some house rules that I am comfortable using in my campaigns. Please see the document Campaign Character Creation Document.
I am using WOUND THRESHOLDS so you will need to make sure you understand how that Unchained Rule works. It speeds up combat and it will alter/increase your need for a healer and those skilled in healing.
Please review the document for all requirements on character creation.
Additional resources can be found at Shattered Star AP 2019. Look under Campaign Resources. I have the Player's Guide and a few other documents that you will need to know.
I am using the The-Elephant in the Room Feat Taxes for Pathfinder document.
I am also using the Simple Magic Item Creation Rules 2018.
I am using a variant fighter (see the Character Creation doc above - as the current PFE1 fighter is underpowered and this just gives him a bit of a boost on the martial side of things). ( I plan on tweaking this variation as we go)
All of these can be found in the Campaign Resource folder.
I will be selecting a balanced party of 6 characters:
MARTIAL SLOT 1
MARTIAL SLOT 2
ARCANE SLOT
DIVINE SLOT
SKILL SLOT
DM FLEX SLOT
Any questions please feel free to ask via post or you can PM me.
