Swashbuckler: Combining the prowess of the fighter with the determination of the gunslinger, the swashbuckler is an acrobatic melee combatant. Slayer: Mixing the precise strikes of the rogue with the special training of the ranger, the slayer hunts down his foes with ruthless efficiency. Skald: Sharing fury through song and deed, the skald takes the rage that lives in the heart of the barbarian and inspires it in others using the performances of the bard. Shaman: Calling on the divine power of the oracle and the hexes of a witch, the shaman communes with her spirit animal to unleash doom upon her foes. Investigator: With the rogue's cunning complemented by the alchemist's magical talent, the investigator is a peerless problem solver. Hunter: Though both the druid and ranger can have animal companions, the hunter takes this bond to the next level, forming a deadly duo with her savage ally. The new classes are as follows.Īrcanist: Blending the power of the sorcerer with the versatility of the wizard, the arcanist draws upon a reservoir of power to bend magic to her will.īloodrager: Fusing the frenzy of the barbarian with the bloodline might of the sorcerer, the bloodrager calls upon innate power to give himself extraordinary abilities.īrawler: Focusing on hand-to-hand combat, the brawler mixes the martial artistry of the monk with the specialist training of the fighter. The ten new classes presented in this book are all hybrids of two existing classes from the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Advanced Player's Guide, and Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Ultimate Combat. If a class feature allows the character to make a one-time choice (such as a bloodline), that choice must match similar choices made by the parent classes and vice-versa (such as selecting the same bloodline). Such abilities don't stack unless specified. While a character can multiclass with these parent classes, doing so usually results in redundant abilities. Parent Classes: Each of the following classes draws upon two classes to form the basis of its theme. Hybrid classes solve this dilemma by blending features from two classes, adding rules to make them work seamlessly together. For them, it can be hard to find a balance between abilities offered by disparate classes.

Most heroes progress along a single path-choosing to become a fearsome fighter, pious cleric, or mighty wizard-but some are drawn to many roads.
