The culmination of several month's work, done more than a year ago, here is my Player's Guide for playing Pathfinder in the Ravnica setting. It is based off of the first block of Magic cards released, and the novels that were written about those card sets. I plan to make and release a Game Master's Guide as well, which will contain the Dimir guild, write-ups for several famous Ravnican monsters, Organization system rules for each guild, boons, a MAP, and more. I've been working on this stuff for a long time.

Without further ado I humbly present:

Ravnica: The City of Guilds Pathfinder Player's Guide

Any feedback, comments, constructive criticism welcome and encouraged. Please use this in your next campaign.

There are several holes in the work rules-wise that I haven't fully fleshed out and will gladly accept any help in doing so, namely the cytoplasts and familiars.

I would also like to maybe make a couple spells specific to each guild, using the Paizo material guidelines and stuff.

I designed this with three ideas in mind: Keep everything as close to the 'canon' of Cory J. Herdon's books and the cards themselves as possible, introduce people to Ravnica who've never heard about the setting, and make each guild have balanced but cool features to make fans of each guild EXCITED to play them. I'm an Orzhov guy myself.

Thanks again dudes, and happy hunting.

I made a campaign setting guide for players for playing Pathfinder in Ravnica, it's useable, but could use a little feedback/polishing. I have it, I want to give it out, but am afraid that because it's all based off of WotC's intellectual property that it's nogood? I mean, I just want to give it away for free. Does somebody have an answer to this?

I'd like to post it to get feedback/cc to make it better. I also mean to in the near/far-ish future to release a GM handbook for it to supplement it with alot of useful details and guild organization rules and a map. But it would be a waste if I can't even give it to the community.

I have the PDF and want to post the material for feedback and general use.
Also what would be required to release it under the OGL? Is that even a thing?

Thanks community.

I know that in 3.5 having a fear caster to dish out the panicked status and render threats useless was at least semi-viable. I understand that save or suck spells are risky. How would one effectively build a consistent one using only paizo? Is this strategy still viable for a caster? Thank you for your time and knowledge.

I am a player who loves the thematics, the reason behind anything is where the importance lies. Narrativism, the actor, etc. I LOVE awkward/dualistic divine gish characters, and am very conflicted, because if I can't make him optimal on paper it is much harder for me to get 'into character'. Wierd? I dunno, I think it's a side effect from playing competitive MTG. Once I've achieved this optimization i can easily sink into Roleplaying mode, and the quest commences and themes are explored and immersion is obtained. Right now a build that I have in mind for some campaign that i hope to play someday (PFS or not whatever) is a Dhampyr LN Inflicter Battle Oracle whose most intense desire is to find acceptance among elf-kind, as he hates his Vampire spawn but sees humanity basically as his vampiric family does. This is all just a concept that I'm bringing up for an example, I am hesitant to use anything that's immensely cliche in my character backstory themes. I pursued looking into each part of his character based on the fact that I thought that this iteration of battle oracle was the best on paper, as it offered the longevity of a sorc, the hard-hitting of a pally and all the flavor of everything. Blahblahblahblahblah, at the end of all this which class is best suited for taking heads with greataxes, Battle Oracle, Clericzilla, Inquisitor or straight Paladin? (I usually stray away from paladins because it completely voids the dualism presented with the inflicter/dhampyr LN themes that I strive for...) Thanks for insight.

What is the closest class/multiclass structure to build a mock antipaladin?

The character would have to be on the neutral spectrum.

I was thinking something like this:

Oracle w/Barb dip
Cleric w/Fighter dip
Cleric w/Barb dip
Witch w/Barb dip

I've always been fascinated by the concept of the grey knight archetype
The playstyle of this would be buffing/debuffing then kicking butt with some heavy equipment, and blasting and necromancing just every so often.

The biggest thing with this is my fear of low BAB and low spellcasting.
I know that you can't have it all with gish builds, but the best you can get is obviously desirable.

Does anyone have any experience with this dilemma, or any out of the box ideas? Thanks.

TL:DR The antipaladin class really has it all for what I've been looking for forever, and its not PFS legal lololol what do i do
