Pathfinder Campaign Setting: The First World, Realm of the Fey (PFRPG)

I hope the feysworn prestige class is not a divine caster focused one but something that anyone could take.

I don't remember anywhere that casting magic in the first world had any issues but it does say it will give rules for it.

My guess is that the main "issue" with casting spells in the First World is that magic works better than it does in most other plances. For player characters, that means that the first few times they cast spells there, they let loose excess energy that they did not direct to any particular purpose.

It will be interesting to see whether this wild guess is anywhere near what is written.

Maybe all spells gain the emotion and thought components.

I imagine it will be closer to the Primal Magic/Wild Magic rules presented on Inner Sea Magic and Unchained... probably a toned down variant.

In my opinion, the whole First World would be a Primal Magic zone.

Quite pleased with the release date, as that is the same day I need to give in two 2500 word essays and my research portolio on the Westbank. Being able to read this book will be a nice breather.

Wish they would have a prestige class that is the fey version of the dragon disciple.

This is the week that they should start shipping;)

I hope we will get some previews.

Wish they would have a prestige class that is the fey version of the dragon disciple.

Or celestial, demon, devil or undead version, for the celestial, abyssal, infernal and undead bloodlines. I love the idea of progressing or unlocking one's 'monster' heritage to become a creature of that type.

That's basically the idea of the 'corruptions' system.

Faerie Dragon corruption?

Actually... that would horrify members of many races. :]

Well it would be nice to have a dragon based corruption of some type.

For as many things as you'd like to see in the game that we can't possibly every deliver on, have you considered publishing your own versions of these concepts through the Pathfinder Compatibility License, either on your own or through a third-party publisher? I simply ask because every product thread contains tons of ideas you'd like to see, usually offered after the books have gone to print, and thus too late for us to include them, but I'm sure there'd be other fans interested in seeing your material see print, even if not in official Paizo material.

This is really off-topic, but you may consider checking out the Third-Party Publisher boards to see what opportunities there are for you.

I've been waiting for this one for quite a while. ^_^

Fey, Sidhe and more Fey! I can't wait for the first world madness, gnome hints and Ladys/Lords of Capricious Answers! Here to hoping this will be an instant collectors item.

Mark, seeing some Fey archetypes and prestige classes would be great. Even if they are a handful, I feel like there is so much that can be explored when it comes to Fey. A great example would be the winter and summer knights (from Jim Butcher's Dresden Files). Also, an Infiltrator archetype for rogues or bards would be cool.

Will there be a few of those for us to explore?

This book, like the three volumes of the Book of the Damned and Chronicle of the Righteous, contains one new prestige class and a handful of other rules elements (spells, feats, etc.). It is primarily a GM-facing book, however, and thus contains more setting material than new rules content.

Well we will be getting a player's companion next year that will be fey focused, so who knows;)

Wouldn't be surprised if a "Blood of the Fey" is coming at some point.

Faerie Dragon corruption?

Hmpf. I know someone who was likely already spreading an earlier version of that one around. I don't understand it either, should be working on a protean corruption uplift instead.

Or heck, tie it thematically to one of Paizo's APs from the last 5 years and submit it for the next Wayfinder... which will be a print edition handed out at the next PaizoCon.

I really hope this touches on the Ulfen children traded to the Fey of Frost's End that are mentioned way back 0.O

They are given to a crazy child-like fairy princess who likes to have them as playmates/toys, at least until she breaks them;)

Also having a evil(or at least non-good) Peter Pan like fey that likes to take "lost" children to these crazy fairy creatures would be interesting.

Just a couple more days or so.

Wouldn't be surprised if a "Blood of the Fey" is coming at some point.

How about "Legacy of the First World"? It is coming. May 2017.

I got my shipping notice. Can't wait for the new obediences! Looking forward to the Lantern King and Lost Prince in particular.

I am glad we finally get to see what the Eldest look like.

So am I, Dragon. Specially, I'm looking forward to seeing Shyka, Imbrex and Lost Prince.

Don't get me wrong, Linnorm lovers. I didn't include Ragadahn because we already have his illustration from Kingmaker, but I will confess he is only second to Shyka in my list of interests for this book.

I look forward to having a look at the green mother. Because I'm wondering what the sexy eldest of seduction and carnivorous plants is going to look like and have more detailed lore explaining her style, personality, and realm. Chances are that people entering her realm either end up in her bed or in a plant belly. Generally the latter than the former.

Lantern King has my interest! Wonder what else he transforms?

Wouldn't rule out the former being the latter.

As he has no "permanent abode", I'm really curious about his stronghold.

Last I remember the green mother has art in the same AP volume with the article about the eldest and the first world.

I do not believe this to be the case; although there is a picture of a green woman emerging from a Venus flytrap, no specific evidence links that art to the Green Mother, nor does it match her description in that article.

Of course... who knows? Maybe you're just three moves ahead. I won't rule it out. ^_^

I though that was an early picture of the Alraune?

I assumed something similar - a flytrap variant of the infamous flower maiden.

Both. They end up in a flowerbed.

One of the staff at Paizo said it was her but I can't remember who, it was a long time ago when the question was brought up. I am sure it's just a picture of her when she is angry and ready to fight, not her standard social form.

Having searched the messageboards and blogs, I can't find any record of this...

Are you thinking of this 2012 post by James Jacobs?

My question this time is: What is the name of the green lady growing from a venus fly trap which is drawn somewhere in a product I can't remember, is that the green mother, a new creature or a subspecies of Alraune or Dryad?

That green lady is one of the Eldest; in particular, it's the Green Mother.

Huh. Why didn't that show up when I searched the forums?

In any case, it'll be interesting to see if they keep that design (given that it doesn't match her written description at all).

Indeed... That no even close to her description. She is said to have green hair and not green skin.

I thought I saw that somewhere.

I am sure she can change her shape and/or use illusions;)

That picture was originally intended to be the Green Mother, but I've never felt super beholden to the art in that article—I always see illustrations as an artist's attempt to convey and interpret a character, rather than something perfect and set in stone. Plus, with the Eldest, they can look like whatever they want, and likely change frequently for the heck of it. So for what it's worth: the new pictures in this fey book are more "accurate" in my mind than old ones!

I have the PDF if there are any questions. I'll try not to be spoilery.

Skeld sees all!

I'd love to know what kind of progression Feysworn gives- does it advance your old class, just casting, or something else?

Do they have art involving the iconics for chapter openeings?

Thanks! Looking forward to it.

There are a couple.

One has Kyra nd Valeros. The other has the Investigator (I think that's him; it's kinda from a back angle).
