Introduction

This is a non-standard Pathfinder campaign. It has only three alignments, four classes, and four races. Only the Core Rulebook is al-
lowed in its entirety, with enough rules from the Advanced Player’s Guide, and the Advanced Classes Guide to support the classes
from those respective books, and the inclusion of Mythic Adventures.

It is a mythic game of intended high-fantasy, in a low-magic world. Very few friendly NPCs will be spell-casters, and as such a great
many magical conveniences most players of Pathfinder are accustomed are unavailable in stores.

It is an age of heroic mortals fighting to extend the territory of their city-states, whether against other mortals or against demons
and faeries. It is set in a time with very little iron, with many places still at a stone-age level of technology, while most of the city-
states use bronze tools.

This campaign will primarily be focused on dungeon-delving, with some wilderness exploration, and very little urban adventuring. It
is centered on the city-states built in the fertile land surrounding a large river system, something of a fantastic Mesopotamia mixed
with ancient Egypt, with dashes of Mesoamerica and Greece.

Making Your Character

Each ability score will be determined by 2d6+6. This is a mythic age of heroic mortals or near-mortals.

Alignment

Unlike standard Pathfinder there are only three alignments and they are much more strongly linked to the allegiances of the PC than
their character traits. At its core this campaign is not concerned with good and evil, or right and wrong. This campaign is about doing
dangerous things for wealth and fame while, intentionally or otherwise, extending the reach of the mortal peoples into the world. As
such, the three alignments are: Law, Neutrality, and Chaos.

Law: By proclaiming an alignment with Law, your character actively seeks to defend the mortal peoples, extend the borders of civili-
zation, and drive back the demonic hordes of Chaos. All mortal oracles must be Lawful as they have been blessed by one or more of
the gods of humanity; should an oracle lose their Lawful alignment they lose all of their magical and supernatural abilities, and their
curse reverts to its first level state.

Neutral: To be Neutral is merely to exist between the forces of Law and Chaos. Most mortal beings exist as Neutral creatures, and
remain so throughout their existence unless taking specific steps (often unwittingly) to align themselves otherwise. The bulk of hu-
manity is Neutral. This is not an alignment of cosmic balance. If you don’t want magic powers this probably the best alignment to
pick.

Chaos: By siding with forces of Chaos, your character is putting their self against the gods of humanity, if not outright allying with the
demonic hordes and faerie hosts. Most mortals would never ally themselves with Chaos. But most mortals are boring and fearful. It
is by making pacts with Chaotic patrons witches are granted their magics, as such all witches must be chaotic in the same way the
oracles must be lawful with the same restrictions on alignment.

While on the larger scale Law and Chaos are opposed, on the smaller scale there is nothing that actually prevents those pledged to
either side from working together. In fact, the assumption of this campaign is that there will be one PC of each alignment.

People of the Known Lands

Humans: Place holder text for the bog standard race.

Half-elves: Derided, scorned, or feared for their connection to faerie hosts or demonic hordes. While faeries are different than de-
mons, to the common person, and even many educated people, there is no practical difference. Their origins are manifold, including

1
an unholy tryst, the swapping of a new babe, or even just having the poor fortune to live near the Haunted Forests. No half-elf can
choose the aristocrat as their starting NPC class; even if born into such a family they would receive no such support from their fami-
ly, being viewed as a source of shame.

Half-orcs: While many half-orcs are born from violent means, which isn’t much different from many humans, they are, unlike half-
elves, almost as likely to come about through legitimate means, such as political marriage. Their orc forbearers are in a similar posi-
tion to humans, besieged by forces inimical to mortal life. Where the human city-states and villages have to contend with hordes
outside the borders of civilization, the orcs are fighting a losing war with the deep faerie hosts. Various human city-states have alli-
ances with one or more orc mine-cities.

Halflings: Halflings are stout, short, people closely related to humans who average a height of approximately 3' and weigh about
60lb. They love the outdoors, food, drink, and other creature comforts, and almost universally go around unshod.

Classes

Every PC starts off with one level of an NPC class to represent their background.

List of valid starting NPC classes:

 Aristocrat
 Commoner
 Expert
 Warrior

Every PC will also start off with one level of a PC class. The available PC classes are restricted as well. Furthermore, archetypes are
not allowed.

List of available PC classes:

 Barbarian
 Brawler
 Fighter
 Oracle w/aura as a cleric
 Rogue
 Slayer
 Witch w/aura as a cleric

Options for these classes are restricted to the CRB and the specific book they first appear in. Feats and spells are by restricted to the
CRB without

Despite starting with one NPC and one PC class level, PCs are level one, not level two, for purposes of feats and experience.

Money and Equipment

Starting Money

Starting money is determined by your starting NPC class.

Types of Coinage

There are three types of coins that an adventurer is likely to come across; copper coins, commonly called pennies, silver coins, com-
monly called groats, and gold coins, commonly called nobles. The general conversion rate is 10 pennies to the groat and 10 groats to
the noble, with 100 pennies to the noble.

There are other coins that may rarely be come across in ancient treasure hoards, larger gold and silver coins of strange minting, or
bizarre shapes. These will naturally necessitate traveling to a larger town to be exchanged for coins of a common minting, at a hefty
fee; the enterprising adventurers could attempt to mint their own coins, possibly earning the ire of the lord of the land.

made of metal has the fragile quality. There is very little iron and it extremely expensive.
