About the Echelon Reference Series

Since August 2009, the Pathfinder Roleplaying Gamehas grown immensely. I have several feet onmy shelvesfull of books from Paizo Publishing. The third-partypublisher section ofmyRPG shelves ismuch smaller…mostly because I get most of my third-party content inPDF form.

To get the full view of a particular topic, one mighthave to look in over a dozen hardcover books, a smallernumber of softcover books, and work through poten-tially dozens or hundreds of PDFs. To put it mildly, thiscan be daunting, and is certainly inconvenient.

To make it easier, I collect all the material for a sin-gle topic into a single document. The information isgathered, organized by type, and consistently format-ted. Where there are relationships between game ele-ments (especially prerequisites, as for feats) I create di-agrams illustrating those relationships.

Multiple Versions

Almost all Echelon Reference Series titles come in twoversions, ‘PRD-Only’ and ‘3pp+PRD’.PRD-Only These releases contain information onlyfrom the PRD, with no third-party content.3pp+PRD These releases contain information fromthe PRD, and select third-party content.

Multiple Releases

These books don’t just gather and organize the infor-mation. Between the ‘added redundancy’ (which in-volveswriting) and thediagrams (whichneed tobe cre-ated), there is a lot ofworkdonebefore thefinal versionis ready. I have adopted a ‘staged release’ model.

I release each title in three versions, described be-low. Once you buy any of them you will get the othersas updates when I release them.

Also, I use the same source files for all versions. Im-proving the source files for a later release means theearlier releases can get the same improvements.

Rough and Fast (RAF)The RAF version gathers the content and organizes it.It does not include the diagrams or useful redundancy,and might not even include all my editing and markupchanges. It has the game elements as originally de-fined (archetype definitions only, “modifies that classin these ways”.Sales Information When the RAF is the only versionin the store, the title is available at a 50% discount onthe final price.When theWIP and Final versions are re-leased, they are added to the title as updates, you donot need to pay for the upgrade.

Work in Progress (WIP)TheWIP version typically includesmanydiagrams andat least some of the useful redundancy. A class bookprobably doesn’t include the archetype classes, butmight include fully-defined subdomains.Sales Information When the WIP is in the store, thetitle is available at a 25% discount on the final price.The WIP version comes with the RAF version as a sec-ond PDF.When the Final version is released, it is addedto the title as an update, you do not need to pay for theupgrade.

FinalThis version includes the diagrams and the useful re-dundancy.Sales Information At this point the document is ‘fin-ished’ (at least until I add more content). The ‘not-yet-done’ discount is no longer present, but the title in-cludes the Final, WIP, and RAF releases as additionalPDFs.

About the Echelon Reference Series

Bundles

I also bundle the titles. There is an “all ERS” bundlethat includes all titles, but I also do smaller bundleswhere two titles have a lot of overlap. For instance, thecleric and inquisitor both use the same domains, andthe domains chapters are quite large. I will likely havean ‘Agents of Faith’ bundle that includes these two ti-tles, and probably my ‘Hybrid Domains’ book (whenthat’s done).Sales Information Bundles are typically priced at‘25% off’. For RAF and WIP titles, that is an additional25% off: titles in RAF are at a 75% discount and titlesin WIP are at a 50% discount, instead of 50% and 25%respectively.

Redundancy

Each book aims to stand alone as a definitive andexhaustive reference for the material being covered.This has some effect on the content of the documentsacross the series.

Redundancy Between BooksBecause each book is created to be a complete refer-ence on a topic, if twobooks each refer to the samema-terial that material is present in both books. The sor-cerer and wizard classes share a spell list, so the spelllist is included in both books. Similarly, druids andrangers both get animal companions, so both bookshave a chapter containing all the animal companions.

Where two topics are tightly intertwined or basi-cally overlap, such as the rogue andninja classes, I usu-ally just put them in the same book.

RedundancyWithin a BookThe Pathfinder Roleplaying Game uses quite a bit of‘design by exception’. That is, many game elements aredefined as “like that, except”. Spells often do this, butso do archetypes (modifying classes) and class features(subdomains modifying domains is probably the mostcommon).

In many cases I ‘add useful redundancy’ by apply-ing the changes to the base element andpresent the re-sult. Insteadof a spell being “like that other spell exceptas shown above” (the changed stat block) I might getthe spell information from ‘the other spell’ and com-plete the stat block, and possibly copy the spell de-scription. For archetypes, I apply each archetype to thebase class and present the result as an ‘archetype class’so the reader can see what the class looks like with thearchetype applied.

Duplicate Names

It’s not uncommon that people describing similarideas come up with similar names. The name of a featthat allows a cavalier to issue more challenges in a daywould quite naturally be ‘Extra Challenges’ or ‘ExtraChallenge’. In fact, twopublishers eachpublisheda featnamed ‘Extra Challenge’… but one version gives oneextra challenge per day, and the other gives two.

Inmost cases I keep both versions. Sometimes like-namedobjects arewildly different. Sometimes they arevery close but with some substantive change (the ExtraChallenge feats mentioned above). In a few fairly rarecases theobjects are seemingly identical, but I havenotbeen very aggressive in identifying these cases and re-moving one, instead treating them as ‘parallel evolu-tion’.

When I find a name collision like this, I usually ap-pend a short string to the end of the name of each ob-ject. This string might be the publisher’s name or ini-tials, or the sourcebook’s nameor initials. For instance,

• ‘Rite’ for objects published by Rite Publishing

• ‘PDG’ for Purple Duck Games

• ‘RGG’ for Rogue Genius Games

• ‘ToHC’ for Tome of Horrors Complete

• ‘BoLS’ for Book of Lost Spells

I usually don’t identify the source of each game ele-ment (though I do plan to release a ‘Grand Concor-dance’ spreadsheet showing where everything can befound). I used strings such as those shown above be-cause it’s easier to be consistent when adding them.

There are exceptions to the process.

• The PRD always has precedence. If a third-partypublisher and the PRD each contain a spell ora feat with the same name, the third-party pub-lisher’s name is changed and the PRD version isnot changed.

• If provenance seems clear I choose one of themto be the ‘master version’ and remove the other.Both Tome of Horrors Complete and AdvancedBestiary copy creature type and subtype defini-tions from the PRD.

• If an element has been superseded I keep thenewer one. The Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game:Advanced Class Guide™ updates the Extra Chan-nel feat from the Pathfinder® Roleplaying GameCore Rulebook™ to take into account the war-priest class.

Bard Spell List

Bard Spell Casting

Abard casts arcane spells drawn from thebard spell listpresented in Spell Lists. He can cast any spell he knowswithout preparing it ahead of time. Every bard spellhas a verbal component (song, recitation, ormusic). Tolearn or cast a spell, a bardmust have aCharisma scoreequal to at least 10 + the spell level. TheDifficulty Classfor a saving throw against a bard’s spell is 10 + the spelllevel + the bard’s Charisma modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a bard can cast only a cer-tain number of spells of each spell level per day. Hisbasedaily spell allotment is givenonTable: Bard. In ad-dition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a highCharisma score (see Table: AbilityModifiers andBonusSpells).

The bard’s selection of spells is extremely limited.A bard begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two1st-level spells of the bard’s choice. At each new bardlevel, he gains one or more new spells, as indicatedon Table: Bard Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day,the number of spells a bard knows is not affected byhis Charisma score. The numbers on Table: Bard SpellsKnown are fixed.)

Upon reaching 5th level, and at every third bardlevel after that (8th, 11th, and so on), a bard can chooseto learn a new spell in place of one he already knows.In effect, the bard ”loses” the old spell in exchange forthe new one. The new spell’s level must be the sameas that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be atleast one level lower than the highest-level bard spellthe bard can cast. A bard may swap only a single spellat any given level and must choose whether or not toswap the spell at the same time that he gains new spellsknown for the level.

A bard need not prepare his spells in advance. Hecan cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming hehas not yet used up his allotment of spells per day forthe spell’s level.

At each new skald level, hegains one or more new spells, as indicated on the ta-ble above. Unlike spells per day, the number of spellsa skald knows isn’t affected by his Charisma score; thenumbers on the table above are fixed.

At 5th level and every 3 levels thereafter, a skaldcan choose to learn a new spell in place of one healready knows. In effect, the skald loses the old spellin exchange for the new one. The new spell’s levelmust be the same as that of the spell being exchanged,and it must be at least 1 level lower than the highest-level skald spell the skald can cast. A skald may swaponly a single spell at any given level, and must choosewhether or not to swap the spell at the same time thathe gains new spells known for the level.
