Our next book is Paths of Magic, a new content expansion for Pathfinder 1st Edition! This book serves not only as a compilation of the three paths of Shadows, Iron, and Wilds, but also an expansion on all three books.
Just about everything is returning from our three 1st edition products, and getting a thorough evaluation and re-balance based on the years of updates Pathfinder has seen since their initial release. We’re talking new saboteur tricks, more invoker spirits, new rune magic scripts, new spells, more technique feats: you name it, it’s getting new content!
But what’s key about today’s announcement is that we’re doing a playtest of two new additions to the Ascension Games’ roster: the cabalist, and the shaper. On top of that, the nightblade is seeing some major revisions, and will be getting its own playtest! A lot has changed since the nightblade was first released over five years ago, and it’s time that it got a fresh coat of paint.
The playtest will run for eight weeks, from September 25th - November 20th. You can check out all three documents on Google Drive below:
There will also be a running update document to detail any major changes that occur during the playtest. You are welcome to add comments to the documents directly, or you can share your thoughts in one of our playtest threads, located on:
Alternatively, if you’d rather send us feedback directly, feel free to use the contact form here on the website.
This project has been a long time in the making, and serves as a capstone on our products for Pathfinder 1st Edition. I want to make this book a spectacular send-off to a fantastic game, and I’ll need as much help as I can get to bring Paths of Magic to the quality that you all deserve.
I hope you’re all as excited as I am for Paths of Magic!
