Take Your Game To The Next Level!

Introducing “Alternate Paths: Primal Characters”. This book is designed with the very experienced player in mind as it presents alternate rules and classes that are more suited to their needs.

Overview:

  • Civilized vs uncivilized subsystem characters
  • A super simple chaotic monk archetype (the "wild ascetic")
  • A section on how to do environmental encounters ("man vs nature")
  • A section on how to use different types of enemies in a primal style game as well as some narrative hooks and suggested enemy types for them.
  • A pantheon of gods worshiped by animals and rules for humanoid species to worship them.
  • 11 new general feats and 5 class specific support feats. There are also 12 additional racial feats spread across the racial section for a grand total of 28 new feats!

New Base Classes:

  • Automancer: A very primal "muscle mage" that has Strength based 6-level casting, a unique precasting mechanic, the ability to cast "fist", and so much more! They are medium BAB (+15) but end up hitting like a front line character due to some of their mechanics.

  • Warmonger: A totemic tribal warleader who forms a sort of limited spiritual hivemind called a "pahg" that grants bonuses to allies, can invite totems of psychological aspects (ego, anima/animus, panic, etc) into their group. They stand up as solid martial characters in their own right as well with a unique suite of "triumphs" that are granted to the warmonger himself.

  • Elemental Host: Psychic warrior-shamans who have merged their spirit with primal forces. They are often shadowed by their bonded spirit or have them cohabitate in their body until times of great need. They can even "fuse" with their elemental spirit- gaining tremendous power. They are full BAB, 4-level, casters with a lot of fun blasting options in there too.

New Races:
  • Bandar: Fierce, centaur-proportioned, bandersnatch-folk. Also included are 4 racial feats.
  • Hottah: Fierce, menacing, stoic, moosefolk who care nothing for the laws of others.
  • Jaegerhund: Idealized trackers born of magically induced tampering, jaegerhund are born and raised for the thrill of the hunt. Jaegerhund are hunters gifted with extraordinarily keen senses, able to peer into spectrums of light normally unseen. Also include 4 racial traits.
  • Manameg: Manameg (Mana-meg) are long-lived, enormous, permanently joyful, naive, carefree whale-folk who wouldn’t know a trap if someone sent them a letter about it three weeks in advance.
  • Utarae: A race of avian humanoids who consume music rather than food. Includes 4 racial feats.
  • Yetin: A race of (mostly) civilized, diminutive, yeti-folk.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
