The UA material in the SRD


Alpha Playtest Feedback General Discussion


What about the UA (and other) material in the SRD? Will it be included in another book?

I have a vision of making a battlesorcerer with the abyssal or draconic bloodline

Unearthed Arcana material is not in any System Reference Document. It's just a book full of Open Content published by Wizards of the Coast. Don't be misled by the fact that the material is hosted on d20srd.org.

I think it's unlikely that Paizo will rework Unearthed Arcana into Unearthed Arcana 3.75 and sell it under their own banner (even though they could).

We've already used some of that stuff (alternative class features, mostly) in our modules. I'm sure we'll use more as time goes on. There are some neat ideas in there. :)


It's possible they may produce a 3.Pai version of UA. It'd be interesting dove-tailing the bloodlines rules with the sorcerer rules - I'd like to see how they do it.

Mike, any chance of implementing those 'Trait Feats' from UA into PF RPG? I think they'd allow you to customize your NPCs and PCs even further, plus I feel they'd work nicely with Racial Feats...

We'll be doing something different with the term "traits." Keep your eyes peeled for the Pathfinder Companion. :)

We have to be careful or else Mike'll sneak in traits like..

Secret Identity
Transformation Sequence
Too Cute for Own Good
Gun Bunny

and a hundred others that have a place in one RPG but not in D&D. ;)

Why, that's shameless teasing! How about giving us more hints? You know, I won't be able to sleep now, so ... please? :D

Yeah, I'm an a+&~$+# like that. ;)

To help you sleep a little, we'll talk a lot more about traits in the first Pathfinder Companion, but you can get an idea of where we're heading by checking out the Curse of the Crimson Throne player's guide. :)


10 bucks says we see a "sand ninja" reference snuck in somewhere.

It's possible.


I still wait for the "Blue Monk" alternate class that expands on grapple and unvonventional fighting techniques.
