Aldori Swordpact

With this adventure path being so close to Brevoy and Mivon (River Kingdoms), will there be an article on the Aldori fighting style and the swordpact, including hopefully, a prestige class for the Aldori swordlord.

I have several players who are eager to learn more about the swordpact and I was wondering if information and/or a prestige class will be forthcoming in the Kingmaker AP or Pathfinder.


I wouldnt hold your breath...it's probably pretty far down the list off things to do at Paizo..off course I may be wrong.

I think if we see actual rules for belonging to this organization it will be in the upcoming Faction Guide, which is due out in a few months.

I was hoping, since the Stolen Lands is between two political entities in which the swordpact has some prominence, that we would see something more about it in the monthly Pathfinder as a companion article, much like the Hellknight articles supported the Council of Thieves AP, since the hellknights are so prominient in Cheliax.

It makes sense that if the Kingmaker is about starting a kingdom between two territories in which the Aldori swordpact has some role (since it isn't just a fighting style but a political entity as well), that should be expanded upon during the AP.

Kingdom making is about stepping on toes and if some Aldori swordlord or ambassador is going to get in the characters' faces about this or that, as DM, I want to know what makes more about them to portray to players other than they are some elegant dressed duelist looking dude is wants to play poke chest with them about some real or perceived faux pas they did.

I just wanted to hear from Paizo if that information is coming at some point or if we are on our own. How it comes is less important than will it come.


Oh don't get me wrong I'd love to see it..one of my Characters is a Sword Scion Fighter going Duellist and the Swordpact is going to play a big part in the game


This is something I just assumed would be mentioned and didn't consider the possibility it wouldn't get any fleshing out later on in this ap. So, I hope it will. They interest me as well.


there's gotta be a prestige class on it no?

We'll probably have some more info about the Aldori fighting style in the upcoming revision to the hardcover, but we've got no plans to cover it in Kingmaker, since Kingmaker's not really much about Brevoy at all (despite the fact that the PCs are probably FROM Brevoy).

Thanks for the response, James.

Aren't there a couple of feats in the campaign guide?

There are. The revision will reprint those feats and MAYBE add some more info.

Silver Crusade

There is a Aldori sword style feat in the campaign book under the country of Brevoy, but you have to be higher level and lots of feats to get it.

Scarab Sages

For those interested, the feat is here: Aldori Dueling Mastery

One of the feats I don't think I had to change at all from 3.5 to PRPG.


Well if there isnt anything official on the horizon we'll just have to come up with something ourselves won't we..after all thats what DM's do

Well, that sort of IS official, but of course you can make up something more.

Do we need more though?


I'm talking fluff not crunch..there's enough in the rule set to deal with any crunch issues..and to be honest there's enough in the Mivorn section of the River Kingdoms book to extrapolate the fluff.

Rostland is Elizabethan England in flavour I think..lots of swaggering bravos who duel at the drop of a hat.


i dont have the campaign book. can some one post the stats for the aldori dueling sword please?

Brevoy's history reminds me more of Russia, with Choral standing in for Rurik and Restov being Golarion's version of Novgorod.

The Aldori dueling sword is basically a 20 gp, 3 lb longsword that can be used with Weapon Finesse (both one-handed and two-handed). It's an exotic weapon.

Luckily, the book is available right here!
