Righteous Bloodlines Is Out!


Since after August it will no longer be possible to publish products for PF 1E on Pathfinder Infinite, I am hurrying to finish the handbooks I was working on while there’s still time. It will be sad having to give up the chance of publishing directly my products for Paizo, but oh well.

And I am particularly proud of this 29-page book, the longest one with my name on it on Pathfinder Infinite. Righteous Bloodlines includes four sorcerer bloodlines -agathion, archon, azata, and manasaputra-, four bloodrager bloodlines, four mutated bloodlines -bucolic, crusader, rambunctious, and yogin-, twelve blood rage powers, ten combat feats with two new combat style chains, four Righteous Disciple prestige subclasses on the lines of Bloodline Disciple, plus mythic versions of all the above. It was a great deal of work, and I would like to dedicate it to Jason Nelson and Dave Bruno who gave me this idea and supported me. I hope you all will like Righteous Bloodlines.


And tomorrow, an exclusive piece of related content will be on my Patreon page. Enjoy it!
