Class Options, Vol 4: Barbarians coming soon!


Product Discussion


Greetings everyone,

I just wanted to stop by and clue you in to the next installment in our Class options line of Pathfinder-compatible products: Barbarians!

The work is underway and I'm hoping to get this puppy out by mid-June!

I don't know exactly is in it yet, but I'm sure we might be able to get Stefen Styrsky - the author of all of these supplements - to come in and give as a little sneak peak.

Please do, curious minds (like mine) want to know.

Cool, so mid June huh? So does that mean you guys are going to try and go monthly on your products?


I don't want to jinx anything, but I do want to get a steady release schedule and branch out into some other kinds of products for Pathfinder.

I might also do a conversion of my Scarrport book for Pathfinder.

That would be good, just don't let the quality slip and of course good luck. :)


A view of things to come!

One thing I wanted to avoid in the Barbarians Book is turning it into a giant list of new rage powers.

So while this will have a bunch of them, I also have a new "type" of rage that confers different bonuses other than boosts to Str and Con.

Like the other products "Barbarians" has alternate abilities that replace trap sense, DR, uncanny dodge, etc. There's also a way to turn your barbarian into a Wild Shaman, sort of a barbarian/cleric/druid.

Last, but not least is a series of barbarian bloodlines. In the RW, it seems primitive peoples often trace their ancestry back to a god, monstrous being or mythical animal. The bloodline allows a barbarian PC to do the same and gain access to rage powers (as well as what I call a Heritage Mark) not available to other barbarians. There are 8 bloodlines. Two are cyclops and linnorm.

Of course, there are new feats too.

Since this not finished, I'd love to hear what other things people might want to see in this.

The big thing I would like to see for options for barbies is ones that don't rage at all. Maybe replace with rage powers with a ranger/rogue abilities IE Conan. Or maybe a set of abilities that allow them to fight with light or no armor. Or some weapon styles along the line of the rangers. Or why not a beast lord, barb with a animal pet or pets. ((of course these idea's would all replace the rage line)) That's in addition to the ones you named.

Don't worry. Got ya covered!

Is there any news about this? I really like Scarrport, but prefer Pathfinder over 4E.

Actually kinda forgot about this. The previous ones have each gotten a bit better each time.
