Pathfinder Lost Omens: Rival Academies

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

HUZZAH!

Yes, Remastered Runelords are making a comeback! That alone has sold me.

Real excited about new Wizard School options.

my biggest wish for this book is themed wizard subclasses for all the schools

now here's a school book i'm excited about!

I don't suppose there will be any updates on the Magus class in this book...?

Maybe? They didnT' talk about it yet, it's too early for that. They tend to reveal stuff closer to release.

I might expect more "pure magical" stuff than magus though, but we never know. But yeah, right now, we ONLY know what is in that description above. Wizard options, spymaster gears, new martial arts stuff (so... monk? there could be magus there, but that's speculation), and guidelines to write stories set in magical academies.

Oh I hope and I wish. Alas I'm not going to count on it. As Elf says, the Lost Omens books tend to be more about the setting than the mechanics.

Huzzah! As someone who loves the actual spell academies introduced and loves spellcasters, can't wait for this one!!!

I'm curious if this book will contain rules for players/GM's who wish to create/manage their own school (magical or otherwise)as teachers or founders? Was there anything like this in the Strength of Thousands AP? .
As to why I'm interested- well, I really love the concept of players building a town/settlement/country, but I've heard that the kingdom management system in kingmaker is just no good. But a magic school? That sounds complex enough to be interesting, but contained enough to be manageable- without as many issues that would break down the game (assuming ofc no magical faculty accidentally blows up the campus).

The idea is for the party to either lead an already established (but struggling) campus or build a new school where none yet exists.

This fondly reminds me of the Covenants (and their seasons) in Ars Magica a long time ago.

I do wonder if this will help to run Strength of Thousand post remaster :O

(also curious if magambyan telepath makes return from 1e xD)

I need to go back and read what bits of Divine Mysteries made me even more hype for this book than before, but I just want to be on the record that I AM hyped for this one.

And the Shadowdancer?

Will the Magabayaan archetypes be remastered here?

And the Shadowdancer?

Given that the entire reason Shadowdancer wasn't found in Player Core 2 is that it is Legacy Content from way back in 3rd Ed/3.5, the likelihood of it popping up in a Lost Omens Sourcebook borders non-existent.

Do we think that some of the Secrets of Magic archclasses will get revisited? I would like to see Flexible Spellcasting get remastered.

It is a LO book, I wouldn't expect the more "rule" stuff to appear here. Mostly because there ARE people that play with "Only rulebooks, nothing from LO books cause I have a custom setting".
