Most of the entries are two pages long, with some reaching four pages. The rest of this book is sorted into individual ancient cultures, with character options for each. I particularly enjoyed the Azlant, Lung Wa, and Shory options.
For those of you trying to figure it out, those not included are Celwynvian, Lirgen, Tekritanin and Yamasa.
Those that do are Azlant, Jistka Imperium, Lung Wa, Ninshabur, Osirion, Sarkoris, Shory, Tar Targaadth and Thassilon. Historians rejoice! Now, it should be noted that not every civilization touched on in this book has an entry for this feat. That’s right, it’s ‘ deific obedience‘ for an ancient civilization. At later levels, this also unlocks spell-like abilities that you can use. The next two pages are dedicated to a single feat: ‘ ancient tradition.’ This allows people who are so dedicated to embodying their ancient civilization of choice to perform a ritual in order to gain a benefit. Their final ability allows them to summon a ghostly army from the past. Both are pretty cool, but I think I like the bloodrager better. These are very flavourful, adaptable bloodlines, capable of showing descent from any ancient civilization. There’s also a handy rules index to help you navigate this book easily.Īfter this we come to the first character options: the vestige bloodline, which is available for both sorcerers and bloodragers. Here you’ll find a rundown of some of the ancient civilizations of Golarion, as well as which books you’ll need to read for further information. Past the map we come to the introduction. The rest are present, although Lirgen and Yamasa are included as one unit based on their location. Thassilon, Sarkoris, and Tekritanin are not featured on the map but are mentioned in this book. I say ‘some’ because they’re not all here. The inside cover features a map of the Inner Sea with the dates and locations of some of the ancient civilizations mentioned in this book. The cover showcases the iconic oracle, Alahazra, and the iconic investigator, Quinn, battling caryatid columns, in some awesome artwork by Setiawan Lie. See? A lot! Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? Pathfinder Player Companion: Blood of the Ancients Which ones? A lot! Azlant, Celwynvian, Jistka Imperium, Lirgen, Lung Wa, Ninshabur, Osirion, Sarkoris, Shory, Tar Taargadth, Tekritanin League, Thassilon and Yamasa. So what is Blood of the Ancients, anyway? In short: character options that are tied to the ancient civilization of Golarion.
This includes archetypes, feats, traits, spells and gear, as well as other class options like bloodlines, discoveries and so on. You won’t find secrets and hidden lore in this baby. As with every book from the Pathfinder Player Companion line, it’s aimed at players. We recently picked it up for my husband as a Father’s Day gift, and we couldn’t be happier! Curious what’s inside? Take a peek!īlood of the Ancients is a thin softcover book that is 32 pages long. Today on d20 Diaries we’re taking a look at one of the wonderful new products that came out just last month: Pathfinder Player Companion: Blood of the Ancients.
