Favorite 3PP Archetypes?


Homebrew and House Rules


So about a week or two ago, I asked you guys about your favorite house rules. The list is amazing, and I have compiled some of them for my own use. That's all thanks to you guys.

Now here's a new question. What are your favorite 3PP archetypes? I'm collecting a list of archetypes that I can use together with Paizo originals, so I'm looking for ones that are balanced and amazing.

(Small side question: Is there a good rogue/ninja archetype that uses bombs and bomb discoveries instead of sneak attack and sneak attack talents?)


SGG has a smoke bomb using ninja in their ninja book. Their smoke bombs can be modified by some discoveries.


I don't know of any dedicated archetype books other than my own, but there are some sprinkled through other publications.

The Genius Guide to Dream Magic has a "fear-o-mancer" wizard specialist I liked.

Grittier Rules had some archetypes I found pretty cool, although I can't remember specifics too well. I do recall liking the Summoner archetypes.

SGG's gunslinger book has a well received archetype for them.

...there really is a dearth of 3pp archetypes, isn't there?


Yeah... I was expecting this thread to be busy. Can't be that people don't do 3PP archetypes. Lots of people rave about them. Bleh.

Silver Crusade

*Cough cough*

Lots of content that have received love and approval in there. Personal faves are the Host, Bateleur, Gun Tank, Gun-fu Master and the Dandy :)

Also, basically every archetype getting out of Super Genius Games receives great reviews.


lol. yeah. I too am a fan of your archetypes, although I usually rename the Gun-Fu Master cause I find it cheesy. XD Haven't decided on a "permanent" name, but I call it different things from the Monk of the Black Powder to plain old Gun Monk. But yeah. You do well as do Cheapy here and Epic Meepo.

I'd like to point you to our multiclass archetypes (which I'm in the process of transferring to the PFSRD site): Multiclass Archetypes

Myself and several others have spent a LOT of time making these, and I personally feel that many of them are on par with Paizo ones. Any feedback on them would be awesome!


ooh. tell me when that's finally moved. I've read through your thread and it's a very interesting system!
