Along with new slayer talents and feats. Legendary Prestige offers new options like new defensive powers, inspiring commands, or psychic esoterica for existing prestige classes alongside amazing archetypes like the spell-blending sage for the mystic theurge or the pacifist mahatma for the exalted. Includes favored class bonuses for prestige classes plus mythic versions of every class feature for the most common prestige classes. Includes dozens of feats, the shapemaster prestige class, and a new bloodline disciple prestige class that takes the core concept of the familiar dragon disciple prestige class but with different bloodlines.
Ancient Magic | Hedge Magic (Revised Edition) by Atlas Games
- SYSTEM: Ars Magica (5th Edition)
- PRODUCT TYPE: hardcover and softcover supplements
- RETAIL PRICE: $29.95 each
- DESCRIPTION: Ancient Magic contains descriptions of nine forms of ancient magic, and rules for integrating their secrets into Hermetic theory. Legends tell of the mighty wizards of the past: Hyperboreans whose spells lasted a generation, necromancers of Canaan who could summon any of the dead, and rune magic that brushed aside Magic Resistance like cobwebs. The Seekers are those magi of the Order who search for these secrets. Hedge Magic includes rules for six hedge magic traditions that allow for creation of PCs, adversaries, or allies. PCs can shape the elements with the Apostles of Apollonius, learn the spirit traveling powers of the Nightwalkers, or cast the runes with the Viktar. Hedge magicians mingle with the mundanes, plying their trades in the universities and the villages. These disparate groups may not have the organization of the Hermetic Order, but their magical skill is undeniable. Includes sample characters, Virtues and Flaws, new traditions, spells, and story seeds.
