SGG Presents: Races Revised: The Kobold Kings

Welcome to Races Revised: The Kobold Kings, the latest in the Super Genius Presents line of books. Each of the products in the Super Genius Presents line is the strong vision of a single game designer, bypassing the normal planning, development, and revision process used for most Super Genius Games products. While we consider those processes to...   [click here for more]

Sorcerer's Options: Beyond Bloodlines

Sorcerers are set apart from most other spellcasters by being creatures with vast and growing natural magic powers, closer in concept to monsters than the sages of study and learning epitomized by wizards or the agents of divinity that make up the ranks of clerics, druids, inquisitors, oracles and paladins. Even witches and bards are normally presented as drawing on power that originates outsid...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to More Rogue Talents

Rogue talents are a crucial part of the core rogue class. They received an overhaul (adding the categories of edges and grand talents and combining the assassin, ninja, and rogue into one flexible stealth-and-trickery class) in The Genius Guide to the Talented Rogue, and this book is designed as a follow-up to that product. However, to use these new talents with the nin...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to 110 Spell Variants vol. 4

While there are a vast number of spells available in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook and official expansions, many GMs and players have an insatiable desire for more options. In many cases it’s not necessary to create new spell options from scratch, as a few minor changes to an existing spell can create something with a very different feel or impact ...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to Another 110 Spell Variants

Although a vast number of spells are available in the game’s core rulebooks, many GMs and players have an insatiable desire for more options. In many cases it’s not necessary to create new spell options from scratch, since a few minor changes to an existing spell can create something with a very different feel or impact on game play. These spell variants are based on the idea that y...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to Favored Class Options

In the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, every time characters take a level in a favored class, they gain a bonus. Under the core rules, that bonus is either +1 skill point or +1 hit point. However, The Advanced Player's Guide introduced a new set of racial favored class options. These are benefits that members of specific races can get when they gain a level in a class that is listed ...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to Hellfire Magic

Hellfire – the stuff of legends and nightmares. Classically associated with the wrath of the gods and the acrid scent of brimstone, hellfire is also one of the background elements of hell and the torments that await there. Hellfire represents a common element of many fantasy stories and classic mythologies, but has very little presence within the Pathfinder...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to Horrific Haunts

Haunts, first introduced in the GameMastery Guide, are a fascinating option for GMs to keep in their toolboxes. Mechanically they are very similar to traps, but in flavor they are more similar to undead. Haunts allow a GM to add significant spookiness to an area, and give that atmosphere important in-game effects. It’s one thing to tell players the walls of an old c...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to Loot 4 Less 9: Bell, Book, & Candle

Welcome to the ninth book in the Loot 4 Less line, in which we deal exclusively with items that have a cost to consumer of 2,500 gp or less. And to increase the level of difficulty in terms of providing you with low-cost items, we also don't deal in one-shot (or even two- or three-shot) magic items. Here in Volume IX: Bell, Book, & Candle, we're looking at a narrow...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to More Horrifically Overpowered Feats

When the first book of Horrifically Overpowered feats was released on April 1st, 2012, we expected to hear a lot of cries of “What were you thinking?!” Instead we mostly heard “When will you release more?!”

The obvious answers should have been either “Never!” or “Not until we can sneak them in on April 1st, 2013!&...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to Relics of the Godlings II

Mythology is full of heroes who carried one or two amazing items throughout their adventuring careers. Sometimes the acquisition of the item marked the hero as special from the beginning, or is the catalyst for the heroes early adventures. Often, special magic items are given to heroes by the gods (Perseus famously receives gifts ranging from Hades’ helm of invisibility to...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to the Godling Ascendant

Beings with powers drawn from the might of the heavens themselves, godlings first appeared in The Genius Guide to the Godling. That product gave us two hero classes, the clever godling and mighty godling, based on the classic Greek heroes and heroines who could claim Olympians as parents or grand-parents. It also offered a godling prestige class, for characters whose divine heritage does...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to the Mosaic Mage

Traditional wizards find magic in books, sorcerers in blood, and bards in music. The most powerful magical creatures of the Material Plane—dragons—find magic in color. Ignoring the traditional schools of magic, mosaic mages define spells by associated color. Red magic is violent and aggressive, but it also heals and loves. Both black magic and white magic are death, but one is also ...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to the Talented Fighter

The Genius Guide to the Talented Fighter rewrites the classic fighter class to use talents instead of static class abilities alternating with bonus feats. Rather than require all fighters be brave and balance their efforts between armor and weapon bonuses, each fighter can custom-fit the classes abilities to match a player’s specific concept. This increased flexibil...   [click here for more]

The Genius Guide to What's in my Pocket?

It’s fairly common for randomly generated treasure to include a few mundane or low-value items. While these may be appreciated and hoarded for the few coins they can raise at low-levels, fairly early in most campaigns players stop caring much about items taken from the standard equipment tables (players only appreciate so many sunrods). However, sometimes a GM wants to spark some interest...   [click here for more]

Ultimate Options: Bardic Masterpieces

Masterpieces are special performances for bards that represent the abilities of a grand master in a given bardic talent, and were first introduced in Ultimate Magic. Generally taken in place of a feat or spell known, masterpieces serve two useful functions for bard players. First, they give bards some flavor that makes them different than just “banjoplaying sorcerers with ...   [click here for more]

Ultimate Options: New Arcane Discoveries

Wizards are portrayed, both in descriptive materials within the game rules, and in most fantasy fiction, as scholars and learned masters of mystic powers who have access to lore and magic tricks second to none. However, in most campaigns there is nothing a wizard can do that a sorcerer cannot. The wizard does gain considerable versatility, in the form of an unlimited number of spells known, but...   [click here for more]

Ultimate Options: Power of the Ninja

The very archetype of the mystic spy or assassin: A shadowy figure as much a master of the dark arts as an outlaw. From the Hashsh'shin to the Sicarii, the black-clad assassin clans of Japanese lore to the fanciful depictions of Wuxia films, the ninja is an icon of fantasy and pop culture-ironic, for a creature that lives by secrecy and a mastery of deception and disguise.

[PFRPG] Advanced Options: Additional Oracle Curses

Heroes and heroines in fantasy fiction have a long struggled under the chilling influence of curses, powerful forces beyond their control whose effects they could never escape. From classic fairytales like Beauty and the Beast to modern fantasy stories like Ladyhawke, the tasks arrayed before the heroes, and their bravery at confronting them, are brought into sharp focus by the heroes' own know...   [click here for more]

[PFRPG] Advanced Options: Cavaliers' Orders

The Advanced Player's Guide introduced six new base classes. One of these new classes is the cavalier: the mounted knight whose power comes as much from the conviction of his ideals, the oaths that he swears, and the challenges that he makes as it does from sheer force of arms. The cavalier class also introduces the concept of cavalier orders-the cavalier chooses one order from among the...   [click here for more]

[PFRPG] Adventurer's Atlas: Outpost Qether

Adventurer's Atlas: Outpost Qether is a generic location set on the borders of any two nations with a tense relationship. The outpost is home to all sorts: traders, criminals, farmers, and military men. It's a place where hope is fading fast now that distant rulers have decided that the fifty-year-old installation has outlived its usefulness. Unless someone finds a good reason for...   [click here for more]

[PFRPG] Codex Draconis: Red Tyrants of the Mountains

Red dragons are the big bad guys, with names like Smaug, Glaurung, and Vermithrax. They are what we think of when we read the word after the ampersand. They are icons of evil, and targets for greedy adventurers everywhere. Here, in the fourth Codex Draconis, we give you what you need to drop red dragons into your games with a minimum of effort and a maximum of options. We want to help you creat...   [click here for more]

[PFRPG] Krazy Kragnar's Black Market Magic Items

The goblin known as Krazy Kragnar has a long and colorful history, not all of which has yet to be chronicled. Always quick to make a deal, take a risk, and turn a profit, Kragnar first came to prominence when he began a line of used-chariots yards (the merchandise for which is detailed in The Genius Guide to Loot 4 Less Volume 7: Krazy Kragnar's Used Chariots). When that operation was sh...   [click here for more]

[PFRPG] Loot 4 Less Vol. 2: Pretty, Pretty, Rings

Welcome to the second book in the Loot 4 Less line, where we deal exclusively in items with a cost-to-consumer of 2,500 gp or less. That's right: no epic items, twelve-spell staves or even moderate magic items here. This is a forum for the cheapest of the cheap, and that's it. And just to up the level of difficulty, we also don't deal in one-shot (or even two- or three-shot) magic items....   [click here for more]

[PFRPG] Mythic Menagerie: Oceans of Blood

Welcome to Oceans of Blood, the sixth in our line of monster books called Mythic Menagerie. Each volume in this line presents a small set of monsters tied to a single theme, but spread over a range of CRs. For Oceans of Blood, the theme is threats of the sea, with an emphasis on monsters that bite, tear, and rend. Author Sam Hing has created aquatic adversaries ranging from...   [click here for more]
