Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed is a variant players handbook containing new character classes, races, spells, feats, plus alternate rule systems for spellcasting and other game functions. This volume, Way of the Sword, collects all the battle-loving races, classes, and feats from that book. Use these options to enhance your own d20 System games. You can use everything in this book alongside the 3rd Edition or revised 3rd Edition Players Handbook, if you wish.
Quicklings, giants, litorians, and sibeccai. Champions, oathsworn, mage blades, totem warriors, unfettered, and warmains. These are the followers of the Way of the Sword.
Followers of the Way of the Sword
This book will expand your available roleplaying choices dramatically. Heres what youll find in each chapter of Way of the Sword:
Chapter One: Races: Five all-new races, some of which have special racial level progressions that you can take like classes to gain unique racial abilities. Most of them start out as viable 1st-level characters, either with traditional classes or racial levels. Chapter Two: Classes: Six brand-new core classes. They are balanced to work together, covering all the traditional combat-oriented 'roles' you enjoy in a fantasy game, but in a very different way. Chapter Three: Feats and Talents: In addition to traditional types of battle-themed feats, this chapter offers two new types: the talent, a special ability you can choose only at the start of the game, and the ceremonial feat, which you can choose only after performing certain rituals.
You dont need any other books to take advantage of the new races, classes, and feats that follow, with one exception: The mage blade - a spellcaster as well as a swordfighter - will need the spells and magic rules in Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed or the Monte Cooks Arcana Unearthed Grimoire. Both these books offer the complete spell list and explain new magic concepts such as complex spells. In addition, the text of Way of the Sword makes reference to various other character classes and races found in Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed. You will need that book if you'd like to learn more about these references, though its not essential that you do so.
