Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play Sneak Peak
Thursday, August 7, 2008
Though we're working hard to get the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play PDF released on Friday, we thought we'd take a small break from the action and show you a few of the faction feats that'll be available in our organized play system. During character creation, after you've chosen your faction, you'll get to choose one free bonus feat from your faction's unique feat list. There are six available feats per faction to choose from—here's a sample feat from each faction:
FREEDOM FIGHTER
Your family has long battled the foes of freedom and you are skilled in waging guerilla campaigns against oppressors.
Prerequisite: Andoran Faction
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on Hide skill checks. In addition, you receive a +1 circumstance bonus on attack rolls when you attack a flat-footed foe during the surprise round.
SCION OF THE NINE HELLS
Your bloodline is mingled with powerful fiends and you rarely fear their fire.
Prerequisite: Cheliax Faction
Benefit: You gain fire resistance 2. This resistance increases by +1 for every six levels you possess, to a maximum of 5 at 18th level.
STAY DEATH'S EMBRACE
Your studies of death and your devout worship of Pharasma have unlocked many secrets of the great beyond. As a result, it is harder to send you there.
Prerequisite: Osirion Faction, worshipper of Pharasma
Benefit: You have a 25% chance to stabilize each round when below 0 hit points. Once stable, you become conscious one round later, although you are still disabled.
Normal: You have a 10% chance to stabilize each round when below 0 hit points.
HORSE LORD
Your people are masters of battling on horseback and you have mastered their rare skill.
Prerequisite: Qadira Faction
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on Ride skill checks. While mounted, you also receive a +1 dodge bonus to your Armor Class.
VINDICTIVE
Prone to endless fueds, your people simply do not forgive a slight easily.
Prerequisite: Taldor Faction
Benefit: You receive a +1 bonus on attack rolls made against creatures that damaged you in the previous round with a ranged or melee attack.
