Path of the Reluctant Hero (PFRPG) Softcover

From Humble to Hero!

Path of the Reluctant Hero is designed to help build characters who achieve immortality and legendary status not because they were the obvious choice, riding a wave of dauntless destiny, but because they came from humble beginnings where greatness was the farthest thing from their minds. Their adventures at times seem almost like accidents, as though each one were just something that happened along the way trying to get home, and yet in looking back they have achieved far more than anyone ever would have believed, forging a legacy that stands shoulder to shoulder with the greatest of heroes. They may begin as simple farmers or humble homebodies, tending hearth and home, fields and flocks, rising from such humble station to make their mark upon history. Others may be orphans with only vague clues to their past, or those burdened with a terrible weight of a legacy that crushes them with its seeming inevitability, each struggling to forge his own path. They may even be experienced adventurers who just don't want to get involved, from retired heroes beaten down by the futility of making real change to those who think they are heartless mercenaries and scoundrels but just can't resist the urge to lend a hand when times get tough.

Path of the Reluctant Hero provides over 80 amazing mythic path abilities and reluctant heroics to help build characters that may not see themselves as heroes, but whose sheer grit and determination can see them through any challenge. They will not bow or break, they will not give up on protecting the home and hope they hold dearest to their hearts, and they will never forget that what they are fighting for─peace and freedom, home and happiness─matters more than anything. Whether your reluctant hero is a homebody or simple farmer, an orphan or retired hero, a denier of destiny or a scoundrel with a heart of gold, you'll find all manner of abilities designed to help you tap into unknown reservoirs of strength like rise to the occasion, unflinching, he ain't heavy, and hold onto hope, and may tap into the breadth of their experience with abilities like heirloom, one step ahead, or curse-bearer. A reluctant hero may get through with guile and luck with accidental observation, shot in the dark, lucky guess, and right place, right time, but she's equally adept at applying the keen insights of everyday wisdom with common sense, learning by example, trusty tools, and ever practical. A reluctant hero may seem harmless due to abilities like obscurity, cautious, innocent bystander, and I'm getting too old for this, but when disaster looms a reluctant hero may snatch from death, use everything, or declare that's not fair! or you shall be avenged! Whether your hero traces his roots to simple peasant life, long-faded glory, or a lineage that haunts his destiny, you'll find a wealth of ideas to make your reluctant heroes truly legendary!
