COME ON IN AND LOOK AROUND! I'LL BE IN THE BACK IF YOU NEED ANYTHING...

In his years traveling the lands with the Company of the Sunset, Luven Lightfinger learned a thing or two about what equipment an adventurer really needs. The average general store can provide a lot of the basics, but Luven and his companions quickly realized that there are many other items that can make life on the road (and crawling through dungeons) easier and safer. When the time came to retire from adventuring, Luven drew upon the lessons he'd learned on the trail and opened a store, catering to those hardy souls who hear the call of the open road as strongly as he did.

Part sourcebook, part catalogue, Luven Lightfinger's Gear and Treasure Shop is chock full of new items for outfitting your characters. From weapons, armor and trail gear to potions, oils and kits, Luven's shop has it all. He stocks locally produced goods as well as imports from exotic locales, and he guarantees he'll have at least one item in his inventory that you've never seen before. Interested in purchasing some magic items? Luven keeps his collection of those in the back room. Always ready to help out a fellow entrepreneur, Luven will even tell you all about his shop and how he set it up.

No one will want to spend all of their reward at the tavern again after stepping inside Luven Lightfinger's Gear and Treasure Shop!

A Sourcebook of Base & Prestige Classes

CHOOSE YOUR OWN DESTINY
Few things serve to define a character as much as their class does. A character’s class is more than what they do, it’s who they are. It is a reflection of the character’s beliefs and what they hold dear, and explains why they do much of what they do. It serves them as their profession or vocation in life. Sometimes a character is drawn to a specific class because of their beliefs; sometimes they mold their attitudes to fit the class they have chosen. Either way, nothing represents a character quite like their class does.

Just as we in the real world can choose from many different paths in our lives, so should our characters. Go beyond the standard options with Paths of Power.

Paths of Power details five new base classes (Anti-paladin, Gladiator, Samurai, Voyageur & Witch), three prestige classes (Child of Bast, Crypt Stalker & Envenomed), and four class options for player characters (Air, Earth, Fire & Water Elementalist “schools” for Wizards). Also included are three classes that are designed specifically for non-player characters, but that can be used for player characters as well (Captain, Courtesan & Sycophant).

There are new feats and skills for the classes and class options, as well as spell lists and new spells for the spellcasting classes. New equipment and magic items unique to some of the classes are included. Characters with the same class tend to gravitate toward each other and work together—a number of organizations that members of the new classes might belong to are outlined as well.

With both PC and NPC options, Paths of Power will be a wonderful asset for players and Game Masters alike!
