So on the heels of the announcement of Pathfinder Adventure Path #79: The Half-Dead City (Mummy’s Mask) we have accelerated our development cycle on "The Medjay".
Servants of the Pharaoh
A medjay is the right hand of the throne, acting as agents of their living god-kings and gaining power in return. They use their "ib" (the Egyptian metaphysical concept of "heart", "lifeforce", "emotion" and "will") to give might to their physical form. However, in times of need they can expend their ib and use it to cast powerful evocation and necromancy spells.
That's not all though! They gain access to powerful curses that infect the wounds of their enemies by also expending ib, a unique brand of desert magic, command over the undead, and even the ability to continue to serve their Pharaoh into the afterlife...
A Full BAB Non-Vancian 9 Level Caster?!?!
This is a non-vancian caster (ish) who manages to have both full BAB and access to 9th level spells. How? You'll have to check it out to find out! Suffice it to say that casting magic lowers their BAB.
Release
We are looking to release this product this coming Tuesday.
You have my attention.
Curiouser and curiouser.

I am sure your overselling my contribution, but this one is definitely a lot of fun.

What else have you design, +X Toaster?
I just participated in this, provided feats for racial guide 2, have participated in a possible grimdark product in the future with LRGG, and have a little collaboration witch project with OSW coming out for forest guardian press.
