I too am curious for that as well.

There is a discussion for this over in the Announcement section by the CEO.

Ditto.

I have also reached out to CS with an inquiry into this. Just waiting on a response now.

So I got my email for Hellbreakers order confirmation this morning but its not appearing in my library yet.

Am I just too excited for it or is it not yet available. I know subscribers get their PDF today.

TLDR: What if Nex is the narrator?

Each of the Non-Core rulebooks have some in-world narrative framing mechanism, despite putting some effort into being more setting agnostic than the outright Lost Omens line: The Logs of the Zoetrope, the journalism of Arianna Dreth, an accounting of Samo and Nahoa's journeys across Avistan. Book of the Dead is framed as a collection of writings from throughout the life (and undeath) of the Ghost King Geb of Geb, a copy of which has been smuggled out of his kingdom.

Impossible Magic, from what little we know so far, is centered to some degree around the Impossible Lands, the region which includes both Geb and its/his rival Nex.

They've been hinting at the possible return of Nex (the guy) since at least the start of second edition.

Imagine Impossible Magic is a returned Nex's accounting of both Magic and the World, bringing forth both his expertise -- from his history of conquest and his travels since vanishing alike -- as well as his exploration of Golarion as it has become in his absence. A preposterously ancient and powerful Wizard's various musings on the discipline of his greatest rival, the base power of magical symbology, a novel martial extrapolation of his own discipline, and a comparable martial/magical hybrid with importance to several cultures. The Iconics might be framed as a group he hires to go out and retrieve information he's curious about in the world as it's become, to fill in the gaps in his knowledge left in his long absence.

I wholeheartedly agree with this theory.

Looks like the Dark Archive Remastered pdf is now available in our library.

I just download it. I wasn't expecting it till tomorrow

Yes that was from the Shades of Blood AP.
I thought that was an interesting archetype. But felt it could have used a few more feats.

Any speculations on new and Remastered Magics from the Book of Unlimited Magic section?

Elemental and Rune Magic have both been remastered in Rage of Elements and Rival Academies.

But what about Shadow Magic or Ley Lines?(These two were my personal favorites)

Back when Secrets of Magic was announced, I remember Erik Mona said the was a Blood Magic section that was cut for spacing but would get added to a more appropriate themed book.
That's something I'd like to see as well.

What other types of Magic would you like to see?

So aside from changes made to the Psychic and Thaumaturge, what other changes where made to the rest of Dark Archives content?

I have a Magus(Laughing Shadow) with Free Archetype into Wizard(Battle Magic) with a focus on Lightning spells.

And I always felt bad ass in battle.

Spellstrike with either Electric Arc or Thunderstrike.

Hey Everyone, I just got confirmation for CS, those who do have purchased DA prior will get their free PDF Remaster update on the release date, Feb 4th. Buf you will need to skip the physical product on your subscription page.

I too am curious about this.
So far I've only need the Remastered PDF.

I sent an inquiry to CS to ask of we need to skip this product and if we will receive the Remastered PDF for free on Release day.

If I get the chance to play it Ill be sure to send you any feedback

So I like your revised Magus.
Ill have to have my GM look over this to use for my Magus till Impossible Magic releases.

I particularly like the Striking Spells.
But then Im always a fan of more spells.

Closest to that in 2e is a, Silence in Snow Witch with free archetype into the Gelid Shard artifact archetype.

I am hoping for the Winter Witch.

Back in 1e we had the Winter Themed Patron, The Winter Witch Class Archtype and the Winter Witch Prestige Classs.

In 2e we have the Winter Themed Patron: Silence in Snow but I would love a Witch Class Archtype that combines the class archetype and the prestige class.

I did love the ability of the 1e Winter Witch prestige class to deal cold damage to beings normally immune to it. My renegade Jadwiga Winter Witch really surprised (and enraged) a few Frost Giants as well as a Night Hag with that ability! ^^

YASSSS!!!!

Im going to give it a read on my lunch break later today.

I like reading other people's ideas and theories.
The Witch is my favorite class and the Magus is my 2nd.

As the Original Poster, I'm ok with it.
Magus is a subject about Impossible Magic.
He's on the cover and in the description.

All I really ask is that we avoid Class Wars and Negativity. Its perfectly fine to have opinions and hopes for the class, but let us not get rude or make negative assumptions about a class new or remastered untill we have more info on that.

LOL well that prediction wasn't impossible!
And I'd hate to disappoint.

So with the Paizo Live last night and all the glorious announcements.
I see that the product pages on the store site have gone live now. YAY!

Point of note, I am not finding a page for the Adventure Path: Hell's Destiny. The one for Bastion of Blasphemies is up though.

Was Hell's Destiny overlooked or is it being withheld for a later announcement?

Yes. That could be the basis for it.

Also maybe even a alternative to the Vancian System.

Looking through the list of contributors on this book I saw Mark Seifter. I know he built the Essence Casting in Magic+ on Pathfinder Infinite. So maybe he was brought in for a new subsystem for casters?.... a Witch can dream.

So what is everyone's theories on these Impossible Spells?

My thoughts are Impossible is a new trait for spells that are extremely powerful but come at a cost like a Doom or Drained effect.

That 6-elements Elemental is a level 15 creature called a Totum Font, its in Monster Core 2.

Also is Seltyiel wearing his 1E sexy/slutty outfit again?

So I am so excited for this book.
The next several months will be agonizing while we wait for the release.

So many things to look forward to.

Such as Gebbite and Nexian Arcane Shools.

Spells that are so powerful that they scar your soul?! Oh My?!

I love the cover art!
Iruxi Necromancer and Automaton Runesmith?!

Link to Store Page.
paizo Inc.

The perfect spell can solve just about any problem. From simple cantrips to reality-warping magic, this new rulebook contains a plethora of options for any adventurer who wants to delve into the unknown and unlock their true magical potential.

Within the confines of these pages lies the magnificent spellcraft of four wonderfully magical and unique classes!

Strike with both spell and blade with as a Magus.

Command an army of the undead as a Necromancer.

Scribe unique magic onto enemies and allies alike as a Runesmith.

Fight alongside a powerful magical companion as a Summoner.

You’ll also find over 240 spells that can be cast for both mischief and wonder, new impossible spells so impactful that they scar the soul, several fantastical archetypes that will bring a magical twist to any table, new arcane schools derived from the heart of the Impossible Lands themselves, and wondrous magical items that will allow even the most mundane of characters to experience the power of magic.

All of this is made manifest before you with Impossible Magic!

Me and my best friend would pass stick figure battle notes in class back in school.

Id add a cape to mine and use spells/blasts like Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time.

And my artistic skill never increase from that. So I absolutely love Stick Figure art and memes.

If I could draw, I would have made it already!!! Evidence of my lack of drawing skills are in our stick figure memes on social media!!

And we love those.

They put those in the PAIZO GENERAL DISCUSSION area.

I always have a web browser page open on my phone for Paizo, Pathfinder Wiki and Archives of Nethys.
And spend my time scrolling through and reading anything and everything I can. Especially about upcoming products.

Thank you for looking into this for me, Maya.

You are always welcome, Prince Maleus. I expect to see you make threads about the products once the pages are live, since they don't have integrated comment sections anymore!!

Oh yes.

We need art or a lil comic of this!

I have two theories:

A. Necromancer and Runesmith are coming in a Secrets of Magic style book that remasters Magus/Summoner, I kind of hope it's this, just because another run at the 'general book about magic' concept has a lot of potential, and SoM has a lot in it that could have used another look, or could be replaced with different content.

B. Necromancer and Runesmith are coming in separate books, each alongside one of the above two classes still in need of remaster.

Ohhhh I hadn't considered Option B.

While I am definitely in Option A team, B does offer an interesting way to tackle that.

Pathfinder is my favorite hobby/passion.

Thank you Darling. Thou art a Beacon of Light in these Dark Times.

Maya when you say "something impossible" is it more in the vein of Defying Gravity, Korean Manga series, or a more impossible something that we just have to wait and see?

You'll have to wait and see! Also, Korean comics are call manhwa actually! Korean is my second language!

I love reading Manwah and then trying to build the characters in Pathfinder.

I once ran a one-shot based on the the Gates open up on Earth and people awaken as Hunters using Pathfinder.

Had all my friends build themselves humans with the backgrounds and classes that either were their favorite or most compatible to their own skill set.

It was a fun night.

Something Impossible is coming, 2026!

We made it to 2026! This is literally all I can say!

Maya Darling!

This is giving me Genie Vibes: PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!!! Itty bitty living space.

Posting here to inquire.

We've had a few products announced but as of yet the corresponding store page for said products has not yet gone live.

Examples:Hell's Destiny and Bastion of Blasphemies
Have been announced but no store page to read about the product yet.

I know normally the store page would be available about 6 months before the release month.

Was just curious about this and with new announcements coming next week on Paizo Live was wondering how soon we'd be able to read the product page.

Luvz & Hugz
And may the Radiant Prism smile upon you.

Hey James, I have another inquiry about Xanderghul's stats. He has both Mythic Immunity: Spell & Strikes but also Mythic Resistance 25.

Im not sure if Mythic Resistance is a misprint or not. Since what would bypass the Immunity would also bypass the Resistance.

What would the purpose of having both mythic immunity and mythic resistance be?

Maybe Im not understanding the rules right.

Or if he was suppose to have a different Resistance.

Just wanted to check.

Also, I'd like to wish All a very,
HAPPY IMPOSSIBLE PLAYTEST 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

May all your Thralls Rise and and Runes Scribe.

With tomorrow being one year since the Impossible Playtest dropped, I'm hoping for an announcement on Paizo Live this Friday.

There's a Paizo live this Friday?

Yes the Paizo Lives are the first Friday of every month, but due to unforeseen circumstances it was delayed to this coming Friday.

With tomorrow being one year since the Impossible Playtest dropped, I'm hoping for an announcement on Paizo Live this Friday.

That makes sense. I am so excited to run this encounter.

My group just started the AP, currently in the Dawnsilver workshop. Going into their first encounter with the Risen of the Trinity Star.

Also just putting this out there into the universe.

But I would love like a Runelords Anniversary PDF that has all 7 Runelords stated along with their items and Runewells(those that have them at least.) Based on the height of their power in Ancient Thassilon.

I was surprised that there wasn't a Peacock Spirit or Trinity Star themed power or ability for Xanderghul.

Especially with all the Trinity Star themed stuff in the first two volumes.

And how the Adventure Background mention that Xanderghul possessed not only his own mythic power, but also the Blood of Gorum and the Essesnce of the Eclipse of Abbadon.

I still love his stats and seeing him at full power.

Me thinks he is suffering from Delusions of Grandeur and if he does attempt to go south into the Five Kings Mountains and meets a certain Sixth King.... oh that poor Misfortune Dragon.

Ooohhhh I like that.

I read through the book last night. OMG!

I received my copy of Into the Apocalypse Archive.

Potential Spoilers below.

My order was processed around 9pm last night.
I got both Draconic Codex and Revenge of the Runelords.
And both PDFs download with no issue.. I may have then stayed up till about 4am reading... Oops.
