Advanced Options: Additional Oracle Curses

ADD TO WISHLIST >

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 known weaknesses, temptations, and drawbacks-known not just to them and to the readers, but often to the villains, as well. Until recently, the concept of such powerful and fearful shortcomings had been underserved by the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, left to the realm of character back story and pure roleplaying.

Pathfinder

With the introduction of the Oracle class in the Advanced Player's Guide, the curse has become a fully integrated and balanced part of the game mechanics, too. It is unfortunate, though, that due to space restrictions, just six curses are presented in the APG. With only a handful of options, one fairly quickly begins to find oracles falling into predictable patterns-only a limited number of character concepts that can be served by the available curses. This becomes particularly evident given that one of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game's greatest strengths is its broad range of character customization. If the Oracle is ever to stand on completely even footing with the other core classes, it needs the advantage of a broader range of curses for characters to choose from.

To help in that regard, Advanced Options: Additional Oracle Curses presents thirteen new oracle's curses for players and GMs to use to burden new oracle characters. They provide new fatal flaws, afflictions, and weaknesses both physical and spiritual that, together with the attendant minor boons or resources they bring, open new challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities for peril and heroism to any party that includes an oracle.

Having taken advantage of a recent sale, I plumbed through the back catalog of SGG, and added a few titles to my library, so there will be a few reviews of some older material coming, this being the first. Following the 3/5's cover with a landsc [...]

Iron Nugget I am not sure why Paizo only released six measly curses with the Oracle Class (though I suspect it has something to do with leaving the door open for future supplements). Super Genius Games, though, comes to the rescue by presenting [...]

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
