Devilishly Good Times

5/5

I'm going to open up by saying that after reading this I immediately started putting together a campaign to utilize the goodies presented. It was that good.

This expansive issue of Wayfinder offers everything you could possibly want related to the nation of Cheliax, including prestige classes, archetypes, specialized wizard schools, cavalier orders, NPCs, stories, the list goes on.

The cavalier orders and wizard schools were my particular favorites. The cavalier orders are designed for cavaliers looking to join the ranks of one of the Hellknight organizations, and there's an order for each, complete with specialized codes, unique abilities, and even some cool SLA's (Order of the Pyre gains fireball as a 1/day SLA with a caster level equal to character level, which is just.... explosive). We literally sat down the moment we got home from PaizoCon and created an entire party out of this book, including an Ossifuer Wizard who transforms into a Bone Devil, two cavaliers, one who specializes in obtaining information and wiping his enemies minds clean of secrets and another who's a master of disguise, and a Summoner diabolist with a fiendish Eidolon who doubled as a somewhat terrifying healer.
If you have any interest in Cheliax or its many fiendish (or otherwise) residents, check this out. It's just good stuff.


A willing journey into the Infernal Kingdom

5/5

I have never written a review before, but here it goes.....

This issue of Wayfinder is full of fiendish delights. From Hellknights to devils and character class options to magic items. If you have a diabolic bent, then this issue is right up your alley.

- I'll start with the various fiction written in issue 11. All well written and easily engaging. Very usable for backstory/story driven games.

- While I don't play in Golarion, the adventure hooks found in here are very helpful and interesting. They are written for Golarion, but can be dropped in anywhere. The range from political intrigue to combating an evil cult.
The side trek adventure, The Bookbound Herald puts the PC up against the Hellknights, performing rituals, and a very upset Erinyes. This will be used very soon. The Beginner Box adventure, Little Devils, Is politicaly charged. Very well writen

-Character options? Plenty of hellish options can be found:
There are Infernal Options for some of the wizard school choices (an example is the ossifer school (transform into a bone devil) replaces the trasmutation schools abilities).
Plenty of archtypes to choose from. The one that stuck out for me was the Cruel Huntsman (Ranger). Think of Sam Elliots character in Ghostrider. There is also a prestige class archtype in this issue called the Obedient Diabolist for the Diabolist prestige class.
And speaking of prestige classes, enter the Infernal Aspirant. A spell casting diabolist that has found a shortcut to become a devil as a finale to this class.
Wanna be a Hellknight without taking the prestige class? Then the Cavaliers of the Hellknight Orders might be the way to go for you. This article recreates the different Hellknight orders and organizes them into Cavalier orders. Very nice indeed. (I needed this about 4 months ago sadly.....)
There are several feats that will condemn you, but who cares right?
The one I like is Executioner Adept. Make my crits hit harder and my massive damage harder to survive through? Yes please.
And there are plenty of rogue talents and barbarian rage powers to make them a literal hell to deal with.

With all the hellfire and brimstone within, it is of no surprise that a slew of devils and their friends have found their way on these pages.Of the 5 new devils, I found that i both love and loathe the Lilim (seduction devil), especially with how they 'reproduce'. Corrupt? Hell yeah! And going up against a covey of flue hags will just be annoying. Love me some new monsters!

-Of all of the great things in this issue, The NPC's and the Artwork are my favorites, followed by the Bestiary. The NPC's all have great backgrounds and motivations and the artwork is tops that brings them to life. You have a choice of Hellknights, from the strict and orderly Maralictor Petra Highsmith to Karskin Elrick, a defiant Paladin/Hellknight. And then there is the flamboyant Federico Castrovel a political opera singer. There are plenty of other NPC's that would bring any campaign to life. Did I mention Federico Castrovel?

This is not all that rests within these pages. There are gems to be found by those willing to sell their souls or just plain lucky (did I mention Fedrico Castrovel?).

This seems the best place as any, to highlight THIS here slice of aural pleasure, from one o'my heroes. If you like what you heard in this issue, this'll be right up your street. Hope the threadjack don't offend none.

Got through the hardcopy this weekend. Great stuff, as always. Tim, Paris, and company have knocked another one out of the park. And this is coming from someone to whom Cheliax is their least favorite corner of Golarion. Review to follow.


Forgive my ignorance regarding OGL, community use licensing, and sites like d20pfsrd.

Out of curiosity, I visited d20pfsrd looking for content from Wayfinder issues and noticed there are a few entries from earlier Wayfinders (Paizo Fans United / 3pp).

For any particular issue, article or entry, why would it or wouldn't it be included?

Possibilities could include lack of time by the d20pfsrd people to copy it to their site (there is a LOT of OGL material out there, after all), or the inclusion of too much content not covered under the OGL - Wayfinder is able to use the Community Use Policy for example, allowing it to use a limited amount of Paizo IP in addition to OGL rules, while d20pfsrd is a commercial site and thus unable to.

Can I just say that I absolutely love/hate this volume.

Love because I play in a group where we take turns DMing, but Cheliax is hands-down my baby. This has so many juicy bits I want to dance.

Hate because I am half-way through running the fifth installment of Council of Thieves and I would have sold my soul to Asmodeus to have this two years ago...

Don't think it of it as not having it for Council of Thieves, but rather you have it early to prepare for the upcoming Hell's Rebels AP. :)

There's a good chance the material you're looking for may be on the site, but with the serial numbers filed off, to comply with the terms of their agreement with Paizo.

Third-parties can quote mechanical rules ('This feat gives +2 to X, etc'), but you can't use copyrighted intellectual properties, such as setting-specific proper names of NPCs, deities, places, etc.

So try looking for thematically substituted names; a spell granted by Sarenrae may be listed as '[Spell] of the Sun Lord', 'Erastil's Boots of Whoop-Ass' may be under 'Stag God's Boots of Asskicking', and so on.

Asmodeus gets through the net, since he's a 'real' deity in the public domain.

Does that help?

It sure does. Thanks. I had visited looking to see if my flue hag from #11 was appearing on that site.


Just to make you know... since Strongblade seemed so interested, I stated the iconic Obedient Diabolist. Here:

Because someone requested it... Lady Jade Black, the Obedient Diabolist

Enjoy if you please ^_^

Finally got my printed copy, so happy!
It's even prettier than the PDF. So much awesomeness (though I might be biased here...).

Ruyan.
