Add PDF $15.99 Non-Mint Unavailable One of the best Chronicles I've purchased![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As far as "bang for your buck" goes, Planes of Power is in my top 5. Fun gazeteer seeds one can easily build a campaign around for every plane, plus new monsters and a political primer on the genies. If you want to take your party into the elemental planes, this book is worth is every copper. ![]() Pathfinder Campaign Setting: The First World, Realm of the Fey (PFRPG)Paizo Inc.![]() Print Edition Unavailable Add PDF $15.99 Non-Mint Unavailable Everything I wanted from a fey-oriented supplement![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is like candy for those of us that use a lot of fey in their campaigns. The Eldest getting full demigod workups, actual rules for First World adventuring (and having had to improvise rules for this before, I wish I'd had this book a year ago), and especially the dozens of location seeds for the First World all contribute to make this one of my favorite setting supplements. Also it does an amazing job incorporating the farther-flung reaches of the Golarion lore in ways you wouldn't expect (no spoilers here). My only criticism lies in the "Feysworn" prestige class. Hilariously broken (1st level makes you immortal) and clumsily edited (no entry for class hit dice, and some class abilities are presented out of order). This is a great prestige class to apply to an NPC mortal servant of an Eldest (and I've already done so), which is probably the idea from the outset. Besides the prestige class, this book is in my top 5 Chronicles purchases. Well worth the money if you want a fey-heavy game.

Grachius Alazario is the 6th son of a minor noble in Korvosa. At his father's command, he journeyed to Egorian to establish and develop trade contacts before the long hoped annexation of Korvosa by Cheliax... However, soon after arriving he became quite engaged and then enchanted by the theater and in performing arts. He immediately left Egorian behind to come to Westcrown (known for its theater) and attempt to become the next big thing. Ever since then, he's only managed to get small parts... partly because he refuses the parts with singing and partly because he's always arriving late to rehearsals with a woman on his arm. He's a boastful braggart, a picky eater, and a womanizer (though oddly with a reputation for incredibly pickier about the women he beds). An Appraise check reveals the following:

Holy Symbol of Desna (1 gp, - lbs, concealed.) Magic Item Descriptions: Wayfinder:
Aura: faint evocation; CL: 5th Slot: -; Price: 500 gp; Weight: 1 lb. Description: A typical wayfinder is made from silver with gold accents, and functions as a compass. A wayfinder grants its user a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks to avoid becoming lost. All wayfinders include a small indentation designed to hold a single ioun stone. While still granting the user their normal benefits, ioun stones slotted in this manner frequently reveal entirely new powers due to the magic of the wayfinder itself. A wayfinder can be commanded to emit light (as the spell) as a standard action. |
