Thanks everyone for your patience for this long awaited release! We're still playing catch up, but this is a big step to being current on PF releases again.

Explore powers once thought lost in the collapse of early empires with Blood of the Ancients! Pierce the cloak of secrets surrounding Nidal, Land of Shadows and it's Midnight Lord! Trailblaze across the infinite planes and visit 6 unique locations detailed in Distant Realms! Keep the campaign marching as another chapter of the War for the Crown, The Twilight Child, has been added to our Encounter Library, and the Player and GM content for all remaining chapters is being released.

Finally, we have integrated the changes for the New Path's Compendium's Expanded Edition into the existing package, which means current owners will see an automatic upgrade. If you haven't yet picked up this package, no time like the present! Also from Kobold Press, we are releasing the Advanced Races Compendium, which includes a plethora (more than 300 pages worth!) of options for existing exotic races, and several new races as well!

Player Companion #32 (with Blood of the Ancients!)
Campaign Setting #19 (with Distant Realms, and Nidal, Land of Shadows!)
War for the Crown Encounter Library
Advanced Races Compendium

Enhancements & Changes
  • Implemented the changes from the FAQ for Ultimate Wilderness.
  • Added the following new adjustments: Spell DC, Specific Descriptor, Spell DC, Specific Subschool, and Gelik's Training (for serpent's skull AP).
  • The Centaur Alseid from Midgard Bestiary and Advanced Races Compedium are different enought that there are two seperate versions.

  • In addition to new classes, many of the classes from the older edition of New Paths Compendium by Kobold Press have changed as follows:
    • The new Mystic Archer is a totally different class from what exisited before. The older one has been renamed "Mystic Archer (old)." Note, this class is effectively a replacement for the Elven Archer but that class has not been removed.
    • The Savant class is significally different as well. The older version has been renamed "Savant (old)."
    • Skin-Changer's Animal Shape now allow the user to actually change their form as per a polymorphing ability. Animal Shape and Animal Combat have slightly changed (see the class description).

    • Paper Drake Monk can now change you into swarm form with the One Thousand Cranes ability and Torn Form now allows you to change size.

  • Broken Mirror Style now modifies the number of images you can have with the mirror image spell adjustment.
  • Extra Wild Shape has been implemented as two seperate feats: Extra Wild Shape and Extra Animal Shape. This is because it is feasible a hero can have both the Wild Shape and Animal Shape abilities, but we can only apply this feat to one of them each time it is taken.

When you're installing this release, you may notice that the window on the right hand side of the installer says that files are deleted - I've included a screenshot of what this looks like as an attachment. This is expected - we found that some of the stock portfolios where we store the monsters for the encounter builder were getting to be very large files, which was making maintaining them difficult, so we split them into more files with fewer monsters each. The installer sees that as deleting the old file and adding new files, and it is just notifying you that this is happening.

We're still working on the remainder of our backlog. I'm afraid I don't have a solid estimate to give you yet as to when we'll have planar adventures and the other books that we're behind on finished and ready to release, but I'll keep you updated once things are closer to release and we're more certain of when that will be.

One of the deities that got a more detailed writeup in one of the AP issues added some summoning options.

I noticed when activating the Death or Glory feat that it doesn’t reduce the number of attacks to a single attack. It thinks I should be able to attack my normal multiple attacks.

“Against a creature of size Large or larger, you can make a single melee attack as a full-round action...”

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere in the forum but the search didn’t come up with it.

Please submit this as a bug so it can get on their radar to be fixed.
