Alternate Paths: Martial Magic

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Free Your Mages!

Alternate Paths: Martial Magic is all about mixing magic and martial! We’ve got new magic/martial classes, feats to allow mages to have more fun, and so much more!

Overview: 8 new classes (6 base, 2 hybrid),13 subsystems/alternate rules, 9 support feats, 8 general feats (including a style for mages!), and 4 metamagic feats.

New Classes:

  • Beast: Magical soldiers who gain permanent spells as “augmentations” as they level up.

  • Cannoneer: Magical field artillery with disgustingly powerful arcane field cannons!

  • Curse-Wielder: Flip the script on a cursed item! Turn your pestilence into a pleasure!

  • Esper: Empathic champions who can hear the collective unconscious! Part psychic-paladin, part support character, but all front-line combatant!

  • Inquisitorial Scholar: An inquisitor / alchemist hybrid that focuses on monster hunting, bypassing enemy weaknesses, and studying creatures! Uses extracts and extracts sweet revenge on foes they’ve crossed before!

  • Maghamir: Cavalier / magi who fly on magic carpets, belong to great fleets, and are daring, acrobatic explorers!

  • Sagebeast: Magic users who seal powerful monstrous humanoids (and related creatures) within themselves. Half the time they are mages but once they run out of magic... the beast gets unleashes and they become full on feral fighters!

  • Shujaa: Martial mages who can only cast abjuration magic due to a process known as “cresting”. So in tune with abjuration magics are they that they manifest a powerful magical shield!

I recently bought this product and I personally loved it! I loved the alternate rules and such and it truly can add to the setting that I use. Though, I don't currently play Pathfinder, I definitely tweak them and run them with my 5e co [...]

First of all, let me say that I was given a free book for reviewing, but I don't think it will affect my review. So this book has an unusual niche- It's for improving the martial abilities of spellcasters, with several optional rules and multipl [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
