Arcane Warden the Arrows of Bandits Rain from Above Arcane Warden The arrows of bandits rain from above. The merchant feels panic strike, cursing himself for only hiring one guard. The hooded figure hired to protect him lays a hand upon the merchant's shoulder, as a softly glowing light forms around the peddler, and his horse. The arrows turn as they approach the light, as if a passage to safety has been opened. The cart races away, all inside left unscathed. The musk of still water, and dirt clog the nostrils of the woman as she crawls into a small crevice in a dark corner of the ruin. Staying focused on the dim light emanating just on the other side, she emerges in a room where a soft light shines from a crystal floating above the hand of a statue to an unknown god. She retrieves her notes, and begins to study the ancient gem, intent on uncovering its secrets. A crazed wizard dashes through an alley, clutching the unnatural dark void sliced into his shoulder that saps the light all around. His pursuer, clad in plate marches closer clutching the blade that did the deed. The magician, frantically utters a spell to whisk him far away, but feels his power being sapped by the dark mark. As his heart drops the blade of the knight rises, shining with fire as bright as the sun in the sky. Arcane wardens are intellectuals who ponder the significance of magic and war, and how these things impact daily life. Arcane wardens spend multiple years pondering the fundamentals of magic, and the role it has to play. Becoming a master practitioner of magic is often not the goal. Where wizards tend to ask if it can be done, an arcane warden asks if it should be done. Arcane wardens do not loathe magic, nor do they see themselves as its guardian. To arcane wardens magic is just one tool in a vast world that has few solutions and too many problems. The Study of Life Arcane wardens are philosopher soldiers who seek what significance life holds. They value a good book as much as a sharp sword. There is no particular ethos, or code among arcane wardens, only a loose social circle that shapes the views of those that enter their academies. As students from these arcane academies are pushed further into the realm of great thinkers, and sages, the pedestal these esteemed are placed upon lights a fire in the hearts of most arcane wardens to find their own great thought, a philosophy that shapes the world long after they pass on. An arcane warden is expected to give a fair level of respect to all professions in life, each serving a purpose, and none obsolete. For each hour of magic practiced an exemplar arcane warden is expected to spend one hour each training their bodies, engaging in a work of art, and thinking freely. Inevitably people do specialize, and focus on different interests in their lives. Even if an arcane warden leaves his academy he is considered an arcane warden wherever life may take him. Studying Outside the Academy Arcane wardens put much emphasis on a balanced life, and a life of study is not complete without a life of adventure. Arcane wardens tend to float around from one job to the next, seeking to gain a greater understanding of life.

  • Playtest: Wizard
    Playtest: Wizard Illustrations by William O’Connor and Steve Ellis Why This Is the Class for You: You like to master the battlefield and control your enemies, while also having the tools to handle any situation you face. Some things no person is meant to know, some powers no mortal should ever wield, and some mysteries are best left buried in the lost manuscripts. Common wisdom advises all this, yet wizards have little use for such quaint warnings and plunge headlong into the occult without fear. For this reason, most people fear wizards, or if they don’t fear them, they at least steer clear of them—for who knows what magic they work in their laboratories or what terrible secrets they have unearthed? If wizards notice such an attitude, they pay it no heed or, perhaps, cultivate it to keep the uninitiated from peering too closely at the forces these magicians wield. A wizard, it has been said, is an arcane scion, a gifted individual trained in the mystical arts who accesses the power that permeates the cosmos and molds it into useful and often destructive forms. A wizard’s approach to magic is one of scholar- ship and accomplishment. To a wizard, there is no easy path to power; there is only research, discipline, and intellect. Those who circumvent the proper order, such as the dubious warlocks and their untamed cousins the sorcerers, pervert magi- cal energy—or, worse, are ruled by it. For this reason wizards guard their secrets well, teaching their lore only to those worthy candidates who have both the mental acuity and the strength of will to use it.

  • Sample File This Book Presents Two New Godling Base Classes, Mystical Counterparts to the Ones from the Previous Book
    mortal with the blood of a god flowing through Aher veins—a hero with one foot in the world of man and the other in the realm of the divine. This concept was explored in the best-selling Genius Guide to the Godling, but that material hardly exhausted the subject. The godlings in that first volume focused on flesh and blood, brawn and brains, striding the world as paragons of human endeavors. They did not, however, touch on the idea of godlings whose affinities lie closer to the mystical world—channeling their connections to divinity into magical effects that no mortal spellcaster could ever equal. The Genius Guide to Mystic Godlings expands the concept of semi-divine characters to include those whose godly heritage manifests itself through magics and spellcasting. These godlings do not fit as readily into the ordinary world. Mortals can sense the power they wield and sometimes find it unsettling. Even the godlings themselves have an uneasy relationship with their own powers—some finding their earthly bodies barely up to the task of containing so much raw energy. Sample file This book presents two new godling base classes, mystical counterparts to the ones from the previous book. It also contains a collection of godling spells— magic so tightly bound to the gods that only those with divine blood can wield it. In addition, there are also new godling feats, divine traits, and scion talents that can be used with these classes or the previously published mighty and clever godlings. The Genius Guide to Mystic Godlings stands on its own, containing everything you need to create semi- divine spellcasting heroes for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
