Description

Come one, come all! Thrill at the fascinating, the bizarre, the deadly. Try your hand at powers unlike any before. Become what you want. Haven’t found it yet? We’ll add it! The Book of Many Things is a repository of options for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Inside is a compilation of requests from around the world, fleshed out and made playable. Speed through your enemies as an accelerist. Worship fey creatures as a dúlra. Practice a forbidden and lost art as a truenamer. You could even become a skiprock champion. A variety of different races, classes, archetypes, feats, and spells await within the Book of Many Things Volume 1.

If ever there’s been something you’ve wanted in Pathfinder, but couldn’t find it anywhere else, you can hope to find it here. If it’s not already included, we’ll add it on a future update. That’s right, the Book of Many Things is a series of inexhaustively updated resources, with new content being added regularly. Just reach out to us with your request, and we’ll work with you to try and include it. You’ll even receive a thank you in the credits.

I really dig the accelerist class. It mentions unarmed attacks in a few places (like velocity) but doesn’t explicitly mention they get Improved Unarmed Strike. Should they?
(Personally, I think not. The class should play fine without it, and another free feat might be a little much.)

Never mind! Pieced it together. Occult accelerant gets IUS, the others do not. Good stuff. I’m excited to try it out at the table.

The latest update to The Book of Many Things is live.

Thanks to our Kickstarter backers, we are officially at 200 pages in volume 1! In this final update (barring any errata), we've once again adjusted the general layout to make the book more readable and give it a crisper look overall. We've also added our full chapter of campaign requested content with additions such as:

Arcanist Options: Enjoy new exploits, greater exploits, and 3 archetypes that teach this old dog some new tricks. Thank you to Bill Mead for the suggestions and requests!

Champions of R'lyeh: Meet the unnamed, a race of children who disappear at sea and are raised by the followers of the Great Old Ones. Draw your rapier as a blade of Hastur, a witchblade archetype that gains invocations in place of a witch's magic. Thank you to Kenneth Zike for the suggestions and requests!

The Escapade: Go big, or go home. These gun-toting spellcasters have more than just a few tricks up their sleeves. Thank...See more

Will there be print copies available through here soon, or only via the kickstarter?

Print copies will be made available after the Kickstarter has ended and the rewards sent to backers, yes, but the cost is reduced by backing the campaign.

The altered lineage trait is mentioned multiple times in the latest update, including as a prerequisite for progressive convergence, but I can not seem to find the trait in the book itself. Is it from another book?

Sorry for the late reply. This trait (and a few related feats/items) was added in the most recent download.

The October update is live.
==General==
Layout has been changed and cleaned up to prepare for printing. The book now consists of chapters on Races, Classes, Archetypes and Class Options, Character Options, Magic, and Items and Equipment. Within individual chapters, divisions such as divine, eldritch, faerie, and mortal still exist to keep the themes of each and allow for further branching in the future (arcane, perhaps?)

Updated the art to the finished piece for the god blooded.

==Races==
Arbiters – A small, winged race of inevitables who study the effects of chaos on the material plane.

Leonin – Lion-like catfolk with supernatural ties to the sun.

==Classes==
Nature Warden – A druid/fighter hybrid who takes the forms of guardian spirits to protect their allies.

==Archetypes==
Bestial Warden – A warden who prefers to fight as an animal, rather than a guardian spirit.

Eldritch Archetypes – Updated...See more

Should say 10-30-2017. New purchases means it's the only one. If you picked it up before, it should have that date. If you can't see it, please let me know and I'll track down why that is.

The September update is complete :D. Here's what I've added.

Added a chapter (7) for items and equipment. Finally added the usable descriptions for the heir apparent's suggested equipment.

Heir Apparent gains a new adventuring goal: The shepherd allows the heir to become a fledgling monster trainer from Mystical: Kingdom of Monsters.

==Archetypes==

Blood Convoker (Convoker): A variant of the blood summoner archetype for the summoner.

God Caller (Convoker): A variant of the god caller archetype for the summoner.

Got a couple subraces in mind after reading more about otters on Wikipedia. These are for Michael Ralston Galvis' otterling race that I shared the other day on Facebook. These will be included in the first update, which so far consists of these, the battle augur (mega man/blue mage) class, and four other races (xendauni, seekers, nephilim, and god-blooded).

--Ferret--: Ferrets are the bardic cousins of otterlings. They enjoy dancing and games of chance to swimming. Ferrets do not gain hold breath, slippery hide, or swim. Instead, once per day, when a ferret makes a Reflex saving throw, it can roll twice and take the better result. It must decide to use this ability before attempting the saving throw. The ferret also gains a +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks and has a normal movement speed of 30 feet.

--Fisher Cat--: Fisher cat otterlings live away from rivers, preferring the forest. They are expert climbers, strong and fierce. They gain +2 Str instead of +2 Dex, climb speed 20 feet and...See more

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
