Worked this character into my weekly game and my seasoned players instantly hated, feared, and wanted to make it their top priority to end her rein of terror. Too bad for them, Cytheria was built a bit too well for them, and she sent them packing. They very much enjoyed the encounters with her, and I feel that after licking their wounds, they will be back on her trail looking for vengeance.
Dark_Mistress, I would love for you to review our works. Cytheria is definitely a fun read, in addition to being a solid add to a campaign. If you contact me, I'll send you a free copy for review purposes.
Could you tell us which CR or CR range Cyntheria is designed for?
CR 9 for certain, cohort follower type might bump that to a 10, but unlikely.
Here's my review of the product as I don't have access to it on this site, but I wanted to give the author as much credit as possible for his work:
Infamous Adversaries: Cytheria the Blasphemer is a 13 page PDF revolving around a central enemy for your gaming group. In this case a Human Antipaladin/9 (Un)Holy Vindicator/1 female corruptor of the inncoencent.
What works: This is a plug n'play Big Bad Evil Gal(BBEG) for any Pathfinder game. Her plot lines are carefully detailed with enough room to give the DM hooks to work with ,room to expand to make her more challenging, and an additional cohort follower. Her monster listing has embedded links to all abilities, items, feats, etc directly to www.d20pfsrd.com so working with this book on my portable device makes is a breeze to look up what that ability does, how an item works, or what this spell does. Don't look to this book for art work as there is only one color picture of the BBEG drawn at the front and that's all. Honestly you won't need more.
What doesn't work: The double pane layout. While this layout works wonderfully for the monster stats section going into the plothooks, history, and other background information doesn't flow and felt distracting. Some of the other arrangement of information might be better off in their own pages (Quotes and Advancement options) instead of crammed all together. This is a PDF, plenty of space and room here.
Overall I give this a 4/5 stars. This is a solid PDF detailing one BBEG that can be instantly placed in your game at a momment's notice. You have motivation, purpose, and best of all lots of easily accessable knowledge at your fingertips for use in your game.
