Been sitting on this one for a while and decided to share it. This a quick guide to the Rage Prophet, mostly covering the class options available to qualify for it.

Guide to the Rage Prophet

I've also added a few lines to my Battle Herald guide covering the multiclass variant in Pathfinder Unchained. That thing really helps out with these hybrid prestige classes.

We just roll new characters at the level the character died at and try to find reasonable ways to bring the new character into the story.

The last time a DM tried to have a drawback for character death was during a total party kill. An enemy cleric had a scroll of save-or-die and a couple of unlucky rolls laid everyone out.

He said we had to make new characters at one level lower and rerun the same encounter. We collectively said 'no' and that was the end of drawbacks for dying.

Maybe some people find that fun or normal but I can't wrap my head around it.

How does the Eldritch Researcher story feat interact with Words of Power?

ELDRITCH RESEARCHER (STORY)
You seek new applications for magical energy.

Prerequisite: You must have created a new spell, or have The Way Things Work background.

Benefit: When casting a spell you've created, add 1 to your caster level. In addition, you gain a +2 bonus on Spellcraft checks. If you have 10 or more ranks in Spellcraft, this bonus increases to +4.

Goal: Create a new spell of at least 6th level.

Completion Benefit: The save DCs for any spells you create increase by 1 when you cast them. In addition, when applying metamagic feats to self-created spells, reduce the total level adjustment by 1. You can't reduce metamagic costs to lower than the spell's original level in this manner.

Special: For a self-created spell to benefit from this feat, it must be a truly novel spell. Spells slightly altered from the original (for example, delayed blast fireball as compared to fireball) gain no benefit. Alchemists can benefit from this feat as though their formulae and extracts were spells.

I've done a similar thing to create a Spiderman-esque character with a drow synthesist summoner.

I'm not as familiar with the Guyver character but it seemed like a sort of Blue Beetle/Super Sentai-type show. I'd definitely grab Skilled (Acrobatics) for the +8 on jumping. Also if your race has it available choose the Favored Class Bonus that reduces the summoning time of your eidolon by 1 round per level. The arm blades could just be refluffed claw attacks with the Improved Damage ability.

Eidolons are really lacking in ranged attacks and Summoner don't really have blast spells so that area might be kind of difficult.

From a roleplaying and flavor standpoint, there is nothing stopping a Cleric from worshiping multiple deities. I could certainly see a Neutral Cleric worship two diametrically opposed deities as a duality or even worship a whole pantheon in general. Such a character could be very interesting to role-play.

However, in terms of jobbing the system to gain access to different domains or feats, only your GM can approve something like that. There is nothing RAW that I'm aware of to support having more than one deity from a crunch perspective.

Both the Battle Herald and Noble Scion prestige classes, and likely several others.

You've got a lot of multiclassing going on but I can see why you did all the dipping. Oracle wouldn't be a bad choice even though you'd be a few caster levels behind since it would still help to provide you with buffs and versatility. Otherwise I would highly suggest leveling one of your other classes. Another level of Ranger couldn't hurt since you get that first combat style feat. Maybe 1-3 more levels of Monk depending on what kind of armor or fighting style you're going for in order to grab Evasion and Fast Movement.

I'm pretty stoked about this. My group and I really enjoy Epic and high-power play but building or leveling a high-level character takes forever and often times there aren't as many pre-made monsters and scenarios to fight against, making it more work for everyone. My favorite aspect about Mythic that I've heard so far is that it can be implemented at any level of play. I could start a 3rd level campaign with characters that already feel more capable instead of having to wait 10 or 15 levels. It also provides the option to continue playing our level 20 characters while dodging some of the sketchy math that appears in later levels of the game. And as always it will be OGL and open to 3rd parties to add even more options. You've got a great thing going here, Paizo.

The adventuring party all the way. Each of their individual costumes is almost or just as good as the other entries, -and- they came as a group.

Okay cool. Thanks very much for the response.

My account says my hardcopy of the Advanced Race Guide shipped on the 12th, but I still haven received it. I've previously received products from Paizo within a week. Should I check with the postal service to see if there is an issue?

sssSSSSPPPAAAAAAACCCCEEE!!!! Yeeeeaaa-haaaawww!!!!

Fan Core: "Hey Paizo, I'm in space!"

Paizo: "I'm proud of you son!"

Fan Core: "Paizo, are you in space?"

Paizo: "Yes, son. Now we are a family again!"

Ok, cool beans.

It seems like this order has been pending for several days. Everything seems fine on the bank side. Is there anything hanging it up?

Thats a tough as nails CR 14! I definitely agree that it could stand to be bumped up a few CRs, especially since most casters will be worthless unless they have some pretty specific spells. This is a fight best left to beefy guys with high Fort saves. I'spose its mitigated somewhat by the fact that you might not even have to fight it if its spotted early.

Unfortunately, no. We do not offer the ability to skip items in a subscription while retaining the subscription benefits. If you'd like, I can cancel the Beginner Box, which will cancel your subscription. You can then resubscribe starting with the Bestiary 3.

Would you like me to do this?

Hmm, that wouldn't really save me much. No, thats ok. I can always give the box to someone for Christmas. Thanks for the quick replies, though!

I looked it up on wikipedia and it says they are female skeletal dieties of the stars.

I got the same wiki page as well, though if you keep reading the article there is definitely a good portion about sun-eating and eclipses as well.

I like how the Aztec mythology has a duel aspect which almost seems to conflict with itself. The creatures are deities of women and childbirth, but yet also attack the sun. That already seems like a great impetus for a campaign. "This evil guy is going to make an artificial eclipse that will turn the normally benevolent Tzitzimitl into giant hate machines!"

Wonder if we can expect any new playable races.

I think we can expect some of the races seen in the Advanced Races preview and some of the APs in Bestiary 3.

I will greatly miss it's unicorn horn and the tuffs of fur at it's ankles wich are of course the thinks i liked best about it's appearance. Plus it looks too much like a goat when it used to be like a deer.

From what I've seen, antlers are the more traditional route. Besides, having a unicorn horn would just make it an "Asian unicorn" when it really has a lot of its own unique qualities.

Not at all. You have several reasons to suspect invisibility. Even though the character doesn't know for a fact what spell it was, he/she still knows that mages are capable of turning invisible and that it would be a good option in that situation. Not only that, but the mage is clearly still nearby since hes charming people.

Your character can still use common sense even if they can't confirm their suspicions.

For me, it is because I like my Medieval Fantasy to feel medieval.. knights in armor with swords. Renaissance technology is "pushing" it, and Enlightenment/ Revolutionary period is a bit too far. 17th century pirates are a wholly separate genre, to me.

I fully support a toolkit with lots of things to choose from.. and the GM's right to NOT choose some things from it, based on the feel s/he is trying to create.

I guess I can understand that, especially if you're using your own setting. It mostly bothers me in established settings (like many of the D&D ones) that claim to have been around for a while. It kinda ruins my suspension of disbelief.

And I full agree with your last statement. I'm sure even fewer people will want to use airship rules, but its nice to have official ones around just in case. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Guns: Seems like it's cashing in on the WoW thing. I don't like guns in my fantasy. WoW gets away with it because... well... I dunno why. But, whatever. The other stuff sounds interesting, and just because the guns are there doesn't mean they have to be used.

I never really understood why people have such an aversion to guns and other "modern" implements in a fantasy setting.

PS. And what about pirate campaigns? I can't imagine running one of those without cannons and guns, and the high seas are an integral part of the fantasy-genre.

PSS. Also, pew pew.

Except there was no need to bring 'anime' into this. You could have said 'the pop culture representation of ninjas' because that's what it actually is. Anime sword guy is too broad a term to have relevance here.

And I'm just tired of people declaring fantastic fighters 'anime'.

Sure, I can understand that. But we are talking about ninjas and samurai here, and "fantastic pop culture representations" spring largely from Japanese cartoons. In order to express that, I used the most convenient word that came to mind.

I apologize if I've touched on a sore spot. I'm just one of those people that hated Iajutsu Masters and Swordsages and fighten' magic showing up in every game because my DM and three of my fellow players loved it.

anime sword guy.

*facepalm*

Sorry, but everyone I play with watches copious amounts of anime, and it saturates my gaming experience. I really just want to see stuff that deviates from that as much as possible.

I know the modern understanding of ninjas and samurai is heavily inspired by how they are presented in anime, but its very old hat and tropy to me.

The Gunslinger doesn't share or mirror any abilities or class features with the Fighter, so I'm a bit confused as to how its supposed to be an archtype. I say just make it a separate class and give it a good Fort save. The grit and deeds abilities are too robust compared to all the archtypes that have been presented.

Overall I like the Gunslinger, but as presented it is a full base class.

Ninja - from what I've read, I like it. Its a hybrid Rogue/Monk with a few Alchemist type things (poison/bombs). Its a nice compromise between historical ninja and tropy anime ninja.

Samurai - I'm very happy with this. I was really worried this would be an unarmored, anime sword guy. Sword-guy is already covered by several builds. Instead, this Samurai hearkens back to the 3.5 Knight and its ability to not die.

Are Samurai and Cavalier orders meant to be interchangeable? If not, it might be better just to make Samurai and Ronin two different artchtypes (unless there are going to be more types of Samurai later)

Maybe its just residual damage from 3.5, but my "bloat sense" is starting to go off.

This is one of my concerns as well.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Even if Paizo keeps releasing new material, the rate at which they do so is maybe one core book every 2-3 months. Thats much slower than WotC, which occasionally releases two new hardbacks every month.

At the very least, Ninja deserves its own class variant. While the historical ninja *is* just a Rogue/Assassin/Spy archtype, our modern and mythological understanding of a ninja is much more than just a character skilled at stealth and neat (but mundane) tricks.

If Paizo is up for it, I wouldn't mind a Ninja prestige class or even a full base class. However, I think Rogues already have a lot of great prestige class options (Arcane Trickster, Assassin, Master Spy, Red Mantis, etc) and we should think about showing some love elsewhere first.

I'd personally make a PF Ninja through a class variant (either Rogue or Monk) coupled with a group of supernatural Rogue talents.

I've played as high as level 130 (not for the faint of heart, btw)

I would love to read a thread on what that was like and what pitfalls you came across, along with how your group managed them.

I was going to post a reply here but it ended up being too long. I'll create a thread and link here when I get the chance.

You can't kill a god at level 20 (at least, not without some serious plot devices). I've played as high as level 130 (not for the faint of heart, btw) and I have no idea why many people consider the low-epic area (17-30th lvl) to be "silly" or out of hand. Its certainly an acquired taste that not everyone will enjoy, but it always surprises me when someone says they've never played a character above 16 or so.

- As to your first point, I have mixed feelings there. I believe the rules as outlined in the PF core rulebook would work well enough up to maybe 30th level. Beyond that, the difference between good BAB and bad BAB, and good saving throws and bad saving throws would become too great. The only option there is to end the game at 30th level, change how BAB and saves progress (possibly by using rules similar to those in the OGL), or force characters to multiclass into something with a better progression.

- As for having higher level spell slots, thats perfectly fine. According to cannon Forgotten Realms sources, there have been spells up to 12th level, so there is obviously precedent for progressing spells into epic. There are some pretty obvious spells to add in, like say Form of the Dragon IV or Epic Magic Fang.

-Heres what I'd suggest as epic uses for Hero Points: take a full-round action as an immediate action, increase the bonus to the roll to +16/+8, cast a spell two levels higher then you could normally cast, etc. Also, if the character chose the "antihero" variant to get a bonus feat, they gain an epic bonus feat at 21st level.

-As for variant and exotic equipment, this can be covered by larger weapons intended for giants, or unusual weapons intended for planar creatures and monsters with strange anatomy. You could have additional prerequisites, or just require Exotic Weapon/Armor Proficiency.

As for the question of divine power, my thought is that a Rank 1 or 2 deity can drain an entire army of strength or inspire it to extreme heroism, can sink an entire barony into the sea or under the earth, and do other things beyond the dreams of even a 20th level wizard. A Rank 19 or 20 deity can make everybody play 4th Edition, or even Runequest.

I can agree to that, assuming of course that an epic Fighter can make the fort save to not have his strength drained, and an epic Wizard could sink a small country with an epic ritual.

I also think that at some point, maybe Rank 11, a deity's power actually becomes infinite. Before then the deity is merely very great, able to affect entire nations, worlds, even galaxies, but still finite. After Rank 11, there are different levels of infinity, and also different options opened up on within the deity's power.

Why not save infinity for the overgods? How exactly does an infinite being defeat another infinite being? Once they reach rank 11, how would a deity move up or down in the hierarchy?

Perhaps at Rank 1, a deity's spell is calculated in miles rather than feet, so a fireball cast by a Rank 1 deity has a range of over 400 miles, and creates a blast 20 miles radius.

My general rule of thumb is a mile per rank, with intermediate and greater deities being able to affect things anywhere on the planet or even anywhere on another plane they aren't currently on. Even my rank greater god can't boast 20 mile wide fireballs, though his higher level spells come close. Why not something like this?

For every rank above that, the deity's rank is multiplied by the next lower rank, so a Rank 2 deity has spells with twice the range and effect as a Rank 1 deity, a Rank 3 deity has three times the range and effect of a Rank 2 deity, etc. Thus, a Rank 6 deity could cover an entire planet with a Fireball spell.

I'd probably err on the side of less powerful and go with addition rather than multiplication. Not even Zeus or Odin ever displayed the ability to cover the planet in fire.

Not always! Zon-Kuthon often denies himself his spells and tells himself that he's an unworthy worm!

Well, at least he has his free will.

Not necessarily true. That depends a lot on the setting.

True, and on the DM as well. But its assumed to be an option in core Pathfinder and most other settings I've played in. So I assumed it here as well.

Not necessarily. It's a lot about personal preferences. (And remember: This is not D&D. This is Pathfinder)

The Golorian campaign setting is almost identical to Greyhawk as far as how gods are treated. And I seem to remember a certain Vecna getting tore-up by his mortal general, Kas. (yes, Kas was smote afterwords but Vecna was badly maimed).

Plus, the core rules impose an upper limit to mortal power, too (no going beyond level 20!)

And in the Pathfinder campaign setting, for example, true deities are just beyond mortal ken. Mortals cannot harm them. There might be exceptions, but they require very specific circumstances, not just a high enough attack roll or something like that.

For the purpose of his campaign setting, we are assuming there are mortals running around that are above 20th level who can accomplish things not in the core rules. I agree that non-epic mortals could never challenge a god without the proper plot device, unless it was a really small god. Like that Zon-Kuthon guy who decided to deny his divine power that day.

Definitely not. Because epic rules are optional. The core game assumes that when you hit level 20, you cannot gain more power. And even if you allow epic rules, it doesn't necessarily mean you will ever surpass the gods.

If mortals are allowed to progress into epic and gain power not covered in the core rules, and gods have defined statistics, there is a point were they can be beaten or at least challenged.

According to the rules, you can't even permanently kill the Tarrasque, not with a billion class levels. At least, nobody found a way yet.

You can't kill it with anything currently presented. That doesn't mean it can't be killed. Same thing with the gods.

Or look at Achaekek, the Mantis God. It's not even a true god, but just a God-Beast. And still, no creature short of a demigod or more powerful divine creature can truly harm it.

Sure you can. If hes got stats, he can be hurt or at least hampered. If I'm a 40th level Barbarian, I can pin him until he says "uncle". And if you've got the stomach for it, you can probably eat him, too. I'd bet hes all kinds of poisonous, but the option is there.

True deities are way beyond that. They could just wipe you out with but a though - though they won't dirty their hands. They'll just send Achaekek, long before you become too much of a threat.

And then those upstarts face an enemy they can hardly even hurt, and that will tear them to pieces in short order.

I play a god as a character, I know how this stuff works. A rank 1 or 2 deity is very vulnerable to epic parties. A rank 20 god is impossible, even for an epic party of his level, but there are still mortal (aka non-divine) things out there that can take him down a notch. Granted, sentient evil planets and star dragons aren't part of the core rules, but you can definitely imagine things that can harm an immortal. The core rules aren't intended for people who want this level of play.

I intensely dislike assigning deities stats in a game where PC gain levels. Let's just say that Sarenrae is basically a 40th level character with some god abilities added on (which is basically how gods were treated in 3e Deities & Demigods). What exactly happens when Kyra reaches 50th level? She's largely become more powerful than her own god. At what point does Sarenrae stop granting Kyra the power to cast spells, and it becomes Kyra granting Sarenrae the ability to cast spells?

Gods always grant themselves their own spells, even if one of their worshipers surpasses them. And, technically speaking, any divine caster can grant themselves their own spells from level 1 through sheer belief, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

I certainly can't have divinity be attained at level 30 due to the way I interpret demographics and maintaining consistency with science fiction games. Heck, deities could very well end up in science fiction settings.

To you, what is the difference between a deity and a mortal with advanced technology/magic? What can a deity accomplish that they cant? Maybe that will tell us what you're going for here.

40th level might work, but I like the idea of having a quasi-demigod region. 50th level could work, but I like the idea of having a level divisible by 20. That puts divinity at 60th level.

Of course, if I want to run a quasi-deity campaign, I could make the PCs godlings with 10 or 15 racial hit dice.

For me, 10-30th level is the quasi-demi range. I'd actually go with a level divisible by 5 or 10. Otherwise you're going to end up with characters and deities with hundreds of levels...unless thats what you want?

I have the 3rd Edition Deities and Demigods book, but I think it makes the deities too weak. I want to make sure that the high level deities, especially, tower above what even epic level PCs can do. My thought: the difference between a Rank 1 deity and a Rank 2 deity is the same as the difference between a 1st level and a 20th level PC.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but as stringburka said, its pretty much impossible. You're either going to need to change the power level of mortals or seriously lower your expectations of what a deity can and can't do.

In WotC 3.5, it was possible to become a demigod as early as 30th level by taking the Demigod Epic Destiny.
The actual Deities and Demigods rulebook never gave any solid description of ascension, but the deities stated therein were 60HD themselves.
Therefore I would certainly lower the level requirement to 30 or 40.
In our high-powered homebrew world, it is possible to gain weak divinity as early as 21st level under the right circumstances, usually by gaining worshipers, passing some test/ritual, having it granted by a greater power, etc.

All of the links zhnov posted are solid stuff. I use Dicefreaks and the Immortal's Handbook regularly and would highly recommend them.

I'm going by what the Core Rulebook and srd say. I'm not here to change the non-epic rules. I'm just adding epic on top of them.

Here's one case where I think the ELH handbook had it right and Paizo has it wrong.

Keeping the BAB and save progressions the same for epic levels will inevitably result in broken combats where some characters only fail on a 1 and other characters only save on a 20 unless ridiculous amounts of magic come into play.

In that I agree. Thats why I stopped my progressions at 30th. Anything beyond that and the difference between good and bad BAB and saves becomes far too extreme. I also don't know whether piazo intends to allow epic to progress into infinity or if they just want it to end at some point (30th or 40th lvl is probably the best bet).

While I think the ELH's epic magic system was junk, I do think they got that part of it right - they had a sidebar in there talking about epic progressions and why they changed after 20.

In the ELH, everyone got a +1 to BAB and saves every other level. Basically you were treated as having slow BAB and good saves. This helped control the number but it almost treated epic as a whole different game. It also made you metagame your first 20lvls so you didn't screw up your saves when you multiclassed.

Granted, I only have my game as evidence to go on, but I think that switch in progression was spot on.

Same here. Of course, with all the old 3.5 stuff available, we usually had a way of getting all good BAB and saves by 40th lvl and ignored whatever rules we were using.

Hey, hey! I just started working on this again and thought I'd post a few more ideas. These are going to be more toned down compared to the previous builds I'd posted and will only run from 21-30th level. I'm also hoping to possibly get these printed in Wayfinder #4 so they will be sticking closer to actual PF.
Obviously these are not complete yet. The Paladin is the most polished, although depending on reactions I'm willing to change things. Comments are welcome and needed! Monk, Sorc, and Wizard will be posted as they are completed.

Advancement: The rate at which characters gain bonus feats and ability points continues unchanged. Similarly, a character’s base attack bonus, saving throws, and class features or abilities with level dependent effects continue to advance. Remember that a character cannot have more than 4 attacks based on its base attack bonus.

Spells: A character’s caster level continues to improve every time she takes a level in a spellcasting class. If a characters advances beyond 20th level in a spellcasting class, the rate at which they gain spells per day changes. Every odd-numbered level the spellcaster gains a single spell slot one level higher than her previous maximum level. These slots can be used to prepare lower level spells or spells augmented by metamagic feats. Every even-numbered level, a spellcaster gains additional spell slots equal to the highest level spell he can currently cast. These slots can then be divided among the spell levels he currently has access to. Alternatively, the character can forgo gaining new spells per day in exchange for learning two more spells of any level they can currently cast.

Think anyone would be interested in some lvl 21-30 support for Pathfinder? Feats, class progressions, spells? From what I can tell we shouldn't expect any official epic material for at least a year. I'm sure I can bring it together for Wayfinder 4. I could try for Wayfinder 3 but I'd be worried about getting quality work done in under 2 weeks.

In keeping with Pathfinder, I think you need level 40 capstones for each class and not just sterile "every other level" powers.

Agreed, which is what we where trying to accomplish with these progressions. Unfortunately I've had to put this project on the back-burner while I work on other things.

Thats kind of a bummer, especially since they'd probably do a good job on it.
And I very much disagree with the whole "gods are too far above mortals to be harmed" thing. Doing even light reading into the mythology of any of the real-world pagan pantheons (especially the Greek and Norse) will show you that gods and mortals clashed regularly and that the gods did not always come away untouched (and sometimes they didn't come away at all).
The D&D pantheons, at least to me, have always looked like they where on the same level as Zeus and the rest of the gang.

I know that Pathfinder fully intends to do Psionic and Epic rules in the future(and that this question has probably already been asked), but do you have any plans for a product like Deities & Demigods? (but, y'know, better executed?)
I play in one of those rare groups where the player characters are occasionally deities, become deities, or regularly interact with them in both roleplay and combat encounters, so its of special interest to me.
Currently we use the Immortal's Handbook: Ascension, which usually works fine, but it can (and has) sometimes been unbalanced even at that level of play.
I heard that you had created stats for a Mantis demigod, but I wasn't sure if that was representative of all demigods in Pathfinder or if it was tailored specifically for that NPC.
