Recommended 3pp pathfinder books


Product Discussion


Hi,
I was looking for some recommended 3pp pathfinder books. The next campaign I'm in will be phasing out 3.5 material and I like to have a large amount of content from which to build my character. I already have 1001 spells, which is pretty good. Yes, I will go over what I'm using with dm, but he's usually pretty flexable. My next character will be an alchemist, so books on that would be ideal. Any spellbooks or magic item books would also be great. So let me know what's out there, please :^)

Grand Lodge

Adventuring Classes: A Fistful of Denarii.


Below is a good starting point.

Raging Swan
Rite Publishing
Super Genius Games
are well known and do give some good content.

Looking in here for more

Grand Lodge

Psionics Unleashed.


This one in particular is nice for alchemists.

This is a compilation of some of Super Genius' best early stuff. It comes with ~6 base classes, a bunch of feats, and a fair number of spells. The version I linked is the print/pdf bundle, but there's a PDF only version as well.

Flagged to move to compatible products.


Thanks for recommendations, and pointing me to pathfinder's 3pp store. I didn't realize that this site sold them as well (hence the +0 mod on gather information) I'll check out the alchemist's guide to start.

The Aasimar and Dhampir: options were well done, and some of the GM resource look really sweet too

I second the vote for Dreamscarred Press' Psionics books. They are definitely great.

Rite Publishing and Super Genius Games also do some excellent work, but as a player you may want to run their stuff by your GM. My kneejerk reaction to a lot of it is that it has WAY too much potential to be broken.

I don't have much by Raging Swan, but I've been looking at some of their stuff ever since they did the free preview of "Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands." The prices are definitely good, very few things above $10, which, to me, means they're worth a look.

Louis J Porter Design and John Brazer Enterprises also have some interesting, inexpensive pdfs. Both tend to put out inexpensive books that add to the subsystems of certain AP's, which is a nice thing to have (for instance, the River Nations series greatly expands the kingdom building stuff from Kingmaker, I will be investing in this if I ever reboot my KM campaign).

For the high price end, Frog God Games is amazing. I got the Tome of Horrors Complete for Christmas last year and I ABSOLUTELY love it. My players have begun to cringe whenever they see me reach for it :)


The Open Design got a lot of great stuff, Advance Feats: Alchemist Secrets is pretty good.

I haven't read much of Raging Swan, but the rest are all great.


I've read and reviewed the majority of 3pp-products for PFRPG, if that's of any help. :)
