Pathfinder Adventure Path #156: The Apocalypse Prophet (Extinction Curse 6 of 6)

Announced for June! Product image and description are not final and may be subject to change.

I like the rider on this horse. Plus you know, demons.

Where the heck is that character art from? ._.; I'd think I'd remember this cool knight from something

"If the heroes cannot stop him, an apocalyptic devastation will wipe out all life in Absalom and beyond!"

So if the players fail this AP, the next one which takes place in Absalom won't be playable.

Maybe these two APs should be switched?

Also a trap-laden vault (dungeoncrawling) is not something our group wants for the finale of an AP.

I'll definetly buy book 4 (dinosaurs assault) & 5 (undead drow) of this AP and maybe book 1 if it's a good whodunnit.
The Rest doesn't interest me.

A group failing to succeed at an AP is not something Paizo can count on. It is up to you / your GM to work out the ramifications.

Yeah, i meant GMs should probably switch these two APs if they want to play on Golarion, otherwise a TPK in "Extinction Curse" will make "Agents of Edgewatch" impossible.

I mean "beyond" might imply that entire inner sea area or humans completely might die :p not much of extinction curse if specie survives else where on planet.

Sounds like you should open a consulting business for villains. :-)

"Yet, that plan is quite villainous. But you know what would crank it up to the next level of evil is..."

BTW, still want to know were the placeholder green knight picture is from :D Its one of coolest evil looking knight pictures I've ever seen

Umm, yeah, still needing help with this one :'D Still at least half a year time to figure out where the cool evil knight is from

You probably want to focus on the runes. They are too simplistic to resemble Thassilion wizard schools, but there is at least a pentagram. Given the full plate, it might be some kind of Hellknight. Couldn't find the art in Path of the Hellknight or Hell's Vengeance 1-4, though.

The knight's from the villain codex pawn set.

Oh oki, so its one of the villain codex npcs which didn't have pictures in the book :D Thank you!

I love the baddie on the cover

I hope you'll love the baddie on the final cover even more!

We will have to wait until we see it, lol.

When can we finally see the finale cover for this? I for one would LOVE to see it! THANKS!

Final cover was just posted! Might take a moment for the changes to trickle through, but you should be able to see it shortly if you can't already. Have a great weekend! :D

I like it but why is there a month delay in the product release?

June is on schedule?

I thought it ended in May.

Nah, should just be January through June and July through December.

oh okay.

Now THAT'S a sexy Xulgath!

Ooooo, got a preview of the Kortos Mounts map in the PaizoCon stream today. Looks really cool!

Is this Lyz's first Author credit for an AP chapter? Excited to see it!

So any subscribers gotten there Pdf copies yet?

I’ve got my confirmation Thursday, but no shipment yet.

Question for when people get their subscriber copies:

I know that the last volume of Age of Ashes had a few Rare Backgrounds for campaigns taking place after the AP that tied into the events of the AP. Are there backgrounds like those in this volume?

There are new class capstone abilities based on the campaign but no new backgrounds.

Any of those capstones stand out to you?

Annihilating Swing (for barbarian) looks pretty damn cool.

And what new critters are in the bestiary?

Aww for no new backgrounds, but I guess capstones are still nice

And what new critters are in the bestiary?

Yay for

I'm trying really hard to hope for this book to ship out really late for me... I would rather have better odds to be early next month. :)

That said, I'm really excited to see this one. I hopefully will start running it around August after the APG and stuff comes out too. I just love high level content! Never been there as a GM or a player in any system, so hopefully I can drag a table there and see how it plays.

All the really cool, weird ideas happen in book 6. Everybody knows this.

Wasn't expecting

** spoiler omitted **

Awesome. Can we get a brief description of how they looks please? Thanks :D

I wonder if Paizo will ever develop a dinosaur like playable race similar to the sauriels?

Anyone feeling generous enough to share some info on whatever the new Sorcerer capstone is :)

You can extend the duration of your bloodline's blood magic effect

"Psst. The Kortos Mounts Gazetteer has giant corgis."

Iruxi?

Tenacious Blood Magic turns 1 round blood magic effects into 1 minute effects.

Those are nice but they arent dinos.

Thanks for sharing. Does anyone else feel like that's incredibly weak for a capstone? Wow +1 to skill checks or AC for a minute! Glad I didn't take that extra 10th level spell.

Even with the more interesting blood magic abilities this feels like a waste of print space. Even for damaging ones like Elemental, Dangerous Sorcery a FIRST level feat is better. Anyone seeing a good interaction I'm not?

I mean, Elemental Bloodline basically turns in to persistent damage, getting 5% success chance increases on things for a minute sounds good...

This is a game where every +1 means a lot, given the degrees of success. Granting a +1 to AC, skill checks, or saving throws for 1 minute means a major buff you can apply to your allies. And since it's 1 minute instead of 1 round, you can apply that buff to ALL of your party.

Same with the (now) persistent damage you're applying with the other bloodlines. With no basic saving throw for them to save themselves, you can easily exploit weaknesses with every single bloodline spell you cast on them. And you can apply that same tactic to multiple enemies in the same combat.

BTW, all the capstone have specific text that link them to events from the AP. That’s really cool.
The rogue one is awesome IMHO.
