Sorry for the lack of response lately. I have started a new job and I also do a lot of volunteer work around this time of the year. I am currently behind by a month. I plan on getting a new update by the end of April.

Thank you for your support and I hope this project has helped with your gaming!!

you've done amazing job! i did something similar to 3.x

just curious... were you going to add a Investigator list in the Book of Spells? they have at least 1 formula that the alchemist doesn't have (Defensive Grace)

Yes, I plan on adding it soon. :)

Oh dear... I can just imagine the trouble of updating this when it comes to the Unchained series Pazio has put together recently.

I love the unchained series... and I also hate it for the purpose of these books. I am not sure If I will add it or not, I did find a way to add Mythic so it is a possibility.

What a Great Job thx so much for your work

Thank you! If you know anyone else who can use them, let them know.

I have noticed that on the Alchemist spell list, Adhesive Blood and Adhesive Spittle have been swapped on the lists. Should be level 1 and level 2 respectively.

I will have it fixed on the next release. Thank You!

I like that book as well. What my game group uses and what I wanted to go public with, have and did change over time. The focus of the public books is for someone who wants to locate all options that came from Piazo.

Oddly, there have been a lot of requests from people for me to make a 3rd party compilation but that all comes down to time.

I've been dabbling with a 3pp one for a while. Not very far with it, but am slowly compiling all the 3pp spells I have on various PDFs.

If you get it far enough to the point you want to go live on the web. Let me know. I have been debating on looking for more people to expand on these books. I can't do more than I already have.

If you want to talk more, feel free to message me on the forms.

I like that book, but it would be nice. It's not a dealbreaker as you do a very excellent job and I refer to your compilations exclusively for spells and when building npc's as it's so much better. Thanks!

Thank you for bring this up, I would have never have noticed. Also thank you for the complements and if you know of anyone else who might think they are useful, feel free to link them to this thread.

Your right it isn't Piazo. I added "The Tome of Horrors Complete- Unlimited Edition". I did this a while ago before releasing the books and forgot about it. I might have to go back though and delete them.

====UPDATE====

All Books
---------------------

I was looking at the Complete Hunter book and it is missing the Spells Known table.

Thank you. I will fix it on todays update.

Wow!

Just found this. Been thinking of doing something similar for awhile but never get to it, and nothing even close to as elaborate as this!
I can't say how awesome this is! Thanx so much!

Thank you. Share with anyone you think might like them

Thank you keyafay, this is an amazing resource!

Cheers!

Weren Wu Jen

Thank you, if you want, link and share.

Just found this. Enjoying it immensely, as I am playing a wizard for the first time in Pathfinder, it really is a great resource to have. However, I found a mistake in a spell description in the complete spells and spell words.

Ear-Piercing Scream
** spoiler omitted **

Thank you,

I will have it fixed in next month’s release.

Just found this! Awesome! I'll buy you a meal if you make it to Dragoncon!

Thank you, unfortunately I am not going to Dragoncon but I appropriate the offer. :)

Some of these books are over due because I just got done running them. My gaming group was running these adventures so I tend to avoid looking at the material. We should be fully updated with "all" books at this point... (Correct me if I am wrong)

Maybe... just maybe... depending on how much I hate myself... I will begin the Trait Book...

On the 10th I will be adding he following books.

Been July sense I last saw a post, but to let anyone know, I did start a project compiling all Feats, spells, classes and thier archetypes.

It can be found on "This" Piazo form thread. I update them Monthly.

Ultimate Advanced Player's Guide or Ultimate Skills indeed, would earn some dollars from me. Lets face it, creating more interesting characters keeps this hobby fresh.

Erratad and finished Ultimate Spells and Ultimate Feats (in style of Equipments) would prolly find some use as well. These would help controlling all the existing material in one easy format package.

Still, I hope the developers keep their heads fresh and bring something new all together!

Aside: there's another thing -- I have a spell on my list but foolishly forgot to label the source, or a player pulls out a spell. I want to look it up. It's getting harder and harder to find. There are so many books one could search.

d20pfsrd helps, but the fact that it changes the names of some things (it's not allowed to use Paizo trademarks) makes it an unreliable resource. That's especially annoying when players use it and show up with things on their sheet that aren't actually anywhere in the rulebooks. archivesofnethys.come has been the best resource I've found for dealing with this issue, as it's a pure fan site and so does use the original names of things. However, I fear that the maintainer of that site may be finding it difficult to keep up with adding all of the new releases; that's got to be a fairly big and thankless task.

There was a time when without too much trouble I could look through a couple of books and find the spell or what-not that I was looking for. But, as the number of books on the shelf gets bigger, that just gets harder; one can't remember as much. The PRD online indexes all of the Roleplaying line, but not the rest.

Bring on the compilations!

Spells first, please.

The more non-Golarion material the better. Ultimate Intrigue has been on my wishlist since 3.5

Finally a Epic Level (21+) book.

Ultimate Combat with 90% less Monk.

Ultimate Divine classes.

A (3.5-like) Unearthed Arcana.

ACG redone for fixes
GMG redone for stronger rules and less guidelines

Spell Compendium 1*
Rules Compendium 1*
Feats Compendium 1*
maybe Archtypes Compendium 1*

* = including every single, updated and errataed version since PF went from 3.5 to it's own rules set to a specific publishing date a few months before the books come out.

For Golarion, really the only thing I'd love to see is a What-If style book, that depicts alternate time lines, both ranging from the past to things that never happened. Not futuristic, but rather what if ________ never happened. (What if Aroden never "died"? Or better, what if Aroden never existed? What if House Thrune lost. What if . . . What did the planet look like before Earthfall.

That and a book that combines a Player's Guide, a DM Guide, and a 64 page+ Adventure about the Test of the Starstone.

This would be helpful.

Ultimate Equipment is awesome. Although it's been a couple of years now, with a page-or-few of equipment in a number of other releases, meaning that it's no longer quite the one-stop-shopping book it used to be. That is the standard danger with compilation books.

I have a hard time thinking of a reason a "compilation book" is necessary when you have the PRD, SRD, Archives of Nethys, and who knows what else.

Doable has never been the issue.

Quote:

Depend how often they do one, how much is in it, and how long after initial release of the original material they do it

Would anybody really be happy with a Compendium that compiled all the (for example) feats up to 2009?

Well, in a way, that's why I want compilation books.

The only books I buy in hardcopy these days are books that are fun to page through, browse the art, and stumble upon things that aren't really going to come up on search functions.

I had access to a lot of equipment before Ultimate Equipment came out. But I just love to plop my behind on the couch after a game and flip through it to see where my monies will be spent. I don't like that so much online.

Recall that Paizo isn't selling rules, they're selling books. There are certain applications for which books are superior.

If there were an Ultimate Spellbook, even though it wouldn't stay current, I would certainly grab that book and page through it every time I had to pick spells for a new level. Doubly so if it is full of awesome spellbook-appropriate artwork -- that would earn it a home on my coffee table. For me, that's more worth a purchase than any new material with new classes that I don't have an opening to play.

Probably this doesn't apply to everyone, but for me the message is clear: I buy books for parts of the game that I like to browse through. There should be books for that, because then I would buy more books.

===============================================

A lot of people asking for Compiled, Compendium, or Consolidated. I current have a project and have created a "full" compilation of Feat, spell, and class (with archetypes) books in PDF format. They are free to download on "This" thread on the Piazo forms. Updated monthly.

====UPDATE====

All Books
---------------------

Due to the Re-roll rules, when re-rolling you take a Negative to your attempt unless the conditions have changed.

So when you cast Guidance not only do you get a +1, the conditions have changed and you can negate the negative to the re-roll.

Example: You do a knowledge check and didn’t get a good result (rolled a 1) but you pray to your god for help changing the condition. So not only do you skip the negative re-roll adjustment, you gain a +1 to the next roll.

. for reference

requesting sticky
can I suggest a traits release?

Thanks and two things. 1)Traits- At one time I had a trait book but lost it, I have yet to get over the emotional trauma of losing 1.5 years of work. Traits are in the most random spots but with that said I might take it back up some time but not sure when that will happen.

Second is the request for sticky. I want to thank you for the request and I would be honored is Paizo did do so. I don’t feel it will happen though. I thought of asking myself but I felt that would be an arrogant thing to do.

If I am lucky it could still happen, so long as I continue to show my dedication and keep the project alive. It also would depend on the community (such as your self) and any others who would also like to see it sticky-ed.

Dotting this, btw Keep up the great work Keyafay.

Dotting this as well, thanks alot for your effort!

Thank you very much dude! Very nice work!

dotting so hard

Thank you. If anyone else would like to use them, send them the link.

Uff, wow! Scanning the boards and stumbling over this precious little (well, huge) diamond!

I can't express enough how helpful those books are.
I thank you so much for your work! Can't tell you how much it is appreciated!
A thousand thanks from my players as well!

Thank you. I am glad to see game groups using them, I hope they help and thank you.

Not sure if its been pounted out already but the Arcanist, Bloodrager, Brawler, Hunter, Investigator, Ranger, Shaman, Sklad, Slayer, Sorcerer, Swashbuckler, Witch & Wizard have messed up Bab on their respective tables. The PDFs have been a great help.

I checked the PDF's to the Fil, I didn't see anything out of the ordanary.

====News====
People seem to like the cover layout that I will be using so I will be moving forward with all the now covers next release. We just got the PDF update for this month so the next update will have the books listed below.

---------------------
Upcoming update on February 14th

Thanks. In all honesty, if people want to link them or post them elsewere, go ahead. I only know or use the Piazo website so I wouldn't know where to begin, nor would I have the time.

I have them on my website for my players, great resource!!

Thank you, I hope them are helpful. :)

I applaud this undertaking.

I did something similar for 2E where I compiled all the kits, then all the weapons, and finally all the spells...

I well understand the concept of 'Mind numbing'... I thought about doing the feats for Pathfinder... but after the 2E thing...

Nooooooooo......

Glad to see someone else did it :D

/HIGHFIVE!

Honestly, I don't think I could do this all over again... hens the reason why I make back ups of my back ups of my source files

You could also use 7zip that applies a more efficient compression algorithm to reduce the load.

After talking to Drop Box, I concluded it was inevitable at the download rate. I also thought of going with a free upload company but I hate things like AD Fly and websites where you have to navigate like a maze. Because I hate things like that, I don’t want to force others to go though it. I want it simple; Click and Download.

Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

~~~~~~~ yeah, i edited/double posted, cuz no one likes to be at the bottom of a thread ~~~~~~~

first off, i have not posted to the threads for going on 10yrs. just hanging out, stealing a tidbit here & there of people's concepts. i had not seen anthing to motivate me to post again.

then i found this ... HUGE UNDERTAKING ...
i mean the dedication alone merits high recognition. i actually started to do the same thing in microsoft word and then realized after bestiary 1 & 2 that i would never be able to keep up with it. woe! the aggravation!! That said;

i bid a special thanks to the gods, demon, devils, clerics, witches, wizards, sorcerers, GM's &/or PC's that cursed valiant keyafey. Chained a strange and ominous piece of technology, compelled to labor away, to complete the uncompletable. pray, thee, for he who hath sacrificed much to provide thee & thine this artifice of knowledge.

I am not going to lie, this post made my day. I haven’t responded because I don't know what to say.

In the end I will admit that compiling everything was... mind numbing. I am surprised I actually was able to do it. On the bight side, the hard parts are over with and all I have to do is keep up with new book releases.

I am looking into making my self hard copies once a year for my game group. It's not that expesive (Sorry everyone, no I can't sell them to others but you are welcome to take the PDF and print them yourselves.)

If I ever feel gutsy, I might do the traits, magic items or bestiary… but I don’t think that will happen anytime soon.

Thank you for your kind words and go ahead and link them the download link to anyone you might feel would like to use them.

I have purchased the pro version of Drop Box so the links should now work. Thank you for your patience.

Just randomly found this now.

This is bloody well awesome. Kudos! I cannot evn begin to comprehend the number of +1s I want to give you.

This is going to make designing characters so much easier.

Thank you. Feel free to tell others about it and even link them to this post on other websites.

Thank Piazo as well, I wouldn't have been able to go public with this project if they didn't give me permission.

Hello everyone,

First I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and give a small update in where I am at with the project.

Coming up, please check out the Bard class book. I will only be changing the art on that cover and I want everyone’s opinion on how it looks. I am not an amazing artist but I hope it will do. My goal is to make it look as professional as possible.

With that said I have been getting a lot of requests to make a physical copy. I can “not” do this. As much as I wish I could, I feel it would infringe on the “open game license”. Even if I were to sell it at cost of production (AKA: not make a profit) it is trending onto legal territory I want to avoid. If Paizo want to take these PDF’s and makes books out of them themselves, that would be up to them but because material is added every month, I doubt it would happen… but I am not going to lie, it would still be cool (Hint Hint) :)

It is my goal to continue this project as long as I can. I will be giving monthly updates with added material. Along with the pervious posts, if anyone sees anything wrong or out of the ordinary, let me know on the form and I will fix it as soon as possible.

Thank you again and have a Happy New Year :)

~Keyafay~

====News====
Out of respect of what Paizo is letting me do, I have decided to extend the time period of when I will be adding new released books. The new expected release of new books will be around a month instead of two weeks. This also works in my best interest because when hardcover books takes longer to add.
---------------------
Upcoming update on January 2nd

This is super cool, one note is that the new combat feats from ranged tactics toolbox don't have the * next to them.

A lot of them are missing the "*". It is a work in progress to get them back.

Thank you for the feedback. :)

Woooooooooooogy. I'd better post something here so I remember this exists. C'mon, think of something insightful to say...my favorite animal is a cat, or a bear, or a mouse, or a koala, or a puffer fish.

Awesome.

Cat

I would like to thank you for this valuable resource. The amount of work you put in for this is daunting.

I would also like to thank Paizo for allowing it.

Very much looking forward to the documents on the 8th and again, my thanks.

Thank you.

I also agree with your statement to Piazo. I am grateful they allow me to continue this project.

====UPDATE====
Due to the large amount of changes, feel free to leave your feelings, thoughts, likes and dislikes. Opinions are welcome; it will help drive later developments.

+1 on both of these. It is so rare for a media/publishing company to respect freedom of speech -- treasure it.

Perfectly valid reasons for not covering the Traits, except that you CAN get more than two:

1. Some DMs start you with 3 (I got the impression that this is actually somewhat common, although not a majority practice).

2. You can get 1 more Trait by taking a Drawback. (And by the way, the list of Drawbacks is MUCH shorter than the list of Traits.)

3. You can get 2 more Traits by taking the Feat Additional Traits. Not sure whether you can do this more than once, although I think RAW you can't, since Feats that you can take more than once say so in their description.

But no worries -- people who want a catalog of Traits can check out Tips and Traits: A guide to Pathfinder Traits (I think by Dragonamedrake -- document doesn't seem to have the author's name in it, so I'm going by the Discussion Thread Original Poster, since this guide is linked from the Zenith Games Guide to the Guides).

Thank you for the complements.

I have thought of doing the traits again but currently, the books I am already doing are keeping me plenty busy. I do like Tips and Traits: A guide to Pathfinder Traits. Haven't seen that website till now.

====News====
This 8th I will also be adding:

I have to thank you for this effort- I am pretty sure my group will appreciate this clear overview of everything (especially the feats being sorted by feature- that is amazing)!

Thank you. I hope their as helpful to you as they have been for me. With all the stuff Paizo has released, I honestly can make almost any character idea.

Expect monthly updates with new books.

====News====
Books that will be added on December 8th, 2014

You are my hero! I was doing something similar, and was going to print them all out, because I work at a place that has a ton of poly page protectors and high end 3 ring binders to make sort of an "Omnibus Edition" for my Private collection. This saved me a ton of work! YOu are a scholar and a great help!

Thank you. I was thinking of having a print version for myself as well but no were near that fancy.

Keep a lookout, I will be adding art in the future so they look better to the eye and in print form.

====News====
My group has received this months subscription PDF’s.
Expect to have “feats, Spells, and Class Archetypes” added.
The compile PDF’s will be updated and releases no earlier than December 8th, 2014.

Newly added books will be listed later this week on this thread.

This is a fantastic set of resources! Thank you for working to put them together and then putting them up where we can use them.

I can't count the number of times that I've frustratedly combed through the various PF books, looking for a specific feat. Or have tried to figure out precisely how many feats were on the archery/Point-Blank feat tree, and where they were. Or have looked for every rogue talent there is. So many thanks again! :)

Great work!

Thank you,

Keep an eye on the thread for future updates.

Keyafay, thanks a lot really.

Found out about your compilation of goodies just this morning, and your files are already spread around my whole group.
This will greatly simplify our character creation and optimize our gaming time greatly.
And since everyone knows action economy is the key to victory, you, dear sir, just won Pathfinder.

Thank you for your praise, I am glad to know they are getting use. If you know of anyone else that might like to use them, go ahead and link them this thread.

Thank you again :)
