Advanced Player's Guide: It's Real!

[Mikaze]

Kyra's going straight-up Moses there. Awesome. :D

New rules for the core races? Now there's something unexpected! I knew there was stuff coming for the classes, but now I'm really interested in seeing what is coming down this way.

And that's two new prestige classes named: Master Chymist and Battle Herald.

Storm King's Cloud Castle....hmm...

[Dale McCoy Jr]

Can't wait until I get my hot little subscriber hands on it!

[Morgen]

Ooooh, been a long time since I saw a staff like that. Awesome!

We can hardly wait for this to come out here in MN. Between Paizo's books and the new edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battles things are going to go well for our FLGS.

[vagrant-poet]

Oooo.... Shiny.

[Twin Agate Dragons]

Very much looking forward to this!

I hope this brings back a personal favorite spell of mine, sticks to snakes.

[Zombieneighbours]

Looks awesome.Cant wait to get hold of a copy.

[dm4hire]

Must. Have. It. Now. My precious!

[Ellington]

Ghost monk.

I don't know what that is, but I want it!

[KaeYoss]

I must inform you all that the blog entry, the book, and this whole thread is just a figment of my imagination. Please stop stealing my hallucinations. Thank you.

[The Far Wanderer]

Awesomeness – the pinnacle of awesomenimity, but c'mon guys, throw us a bone here and post one of the new 1st level wizard spells...

if it doesn't the 3/x version is in Necromancer Games' Eldrich Sorcery

[Gorbacz]

I love when you do
That hocuspocus to me
The way that you touch
You got the power to lead
You give me that look
It's almost unreal
It's almost unreal

[Callous Jack]

Cool.
What the heck is a Master Chymist?

[LMPjr007]

Soon. So soon!

[Beek Gwenders of Croodle]

Are there also alternative combat and magic systems? Point-based (xp-less) character construction ideas? Realistic rules for crossbows and shields?
Or are the core mechanics staying exactly the same?

[Dr. Double Honors, Ph.D.]

Hungry Ghost Monk?!

I love that illustration of Kyra.

I think that the core mechanics remain the same. This is not an Unearthed Arcana book, it's more like the Complete series.

[Matthew Morris]

Bouncing Spell sounds fun.

Have no idea if this is correct or not but Dictionary.com says:

Chymist
chym·is·try /ˈkɪməstri/ [kim-uh-stree]
–noun Archaic.
chemistry.
—Related forms
chymic, adjective
chymist, noun

So, an alchemist of some sort?

That's hungry ghost monk, and you'll just have to wait! Sorry! :)

[The smitter]

You guys are like the Hitchcock of RPG advertising I have never been this excited or had this much suspense about a RPG before. so Great Job and hurry up

[Lilith]

Hungry ghost monk...sounds very...Tian Xia.

...GLEE! *squee*

Probably. Also note that early as Pathfinder #2, a random treasure item found in a cabinet was a book called 'Chymic' (or something with a similar spelling) about a unique school of magic from long ago. Of course, that could be a coincidence, I suppose.

Which is your FLGS (asked the Minnesota native)?

[Asgetrion]

Oooh... me like! WAR + Sarah = win! :)

[Riaghan of Kalsgard]

Looking forward to this book! Hoping for a Shadowbane Stalker-like prestige class, but not holding out, as its a pretty obscure* build. (See: crazy)

[F. Wesley Schneider]

What the heck! I totally took more pictures then this. Let me see where those are and get you guys a better preview here... Tune back in momentarily.

I had a friend compare Paizo to a crack dealer this morning, except one who goes "nope you can't buy this crack until August".

Not specifically directed at me but as a fellow Minnesotan I will answer with the Source or Tower Games.

Alright then can anyone make out what the feat requirements are for the Master Spy? I think one of them is Iron Will, but I have no idea what the other one is.

Or rather is that GenCon Deadline diet ? Then again, if all Paizo folks were on that, SKR must be a skeleton by now ...

Don't worry I am sure people are starting to clean it up or just staring really hard. Looks like Bluff, Disguise, Perception and Sense Motive are the skill requirements.

Master of Disguise looks useful. :P

[Dark_Mistress]

I like the Master Spy's dress.

[Gorbacz]

I'm feeling a strong vibe from the article on variant Spies in some Dragon issue. It was a good article.

That there is a conjunction of words you don't often see.

[Ice Titan]

Table 6-5! So it's the 5th entry in the new prestige class chapter...

So we can expect 2 other prestige classes that begin before the letter M. The other two are the Master Chymist and the Battle Herald.

I'm going to go out and guess 11 prestige classes total with 6 more after page 271 here. Assuming it's page 271...

I'm enjoying as fast as I can! Keep that breath weapon to yourself, Wes.

Also: The Paizo logos don't line up. Noooooo!

(so glad I'm signed up for all of this already)
