Pathfinder Roleplaying Game
Mythic Adventures
Heroes of Legend
Not all heroes are created equal. Many adventurers pick up swords or call upon strange powers in times of trouble, yet only a few are chosen by fate or the gods to change the course of history. These are mythic heroes—legendary figures whose every footstep shakes the heavens. With Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Mythic Adventures, it's your turn to change the world. Choose a mythic path and take on unbelievable powers by completing mythic trials tied to your character's story. Each mythic path works in parallel with your character class, allowing you to continue advancing in your chosen calling even as you seek a greater destiny. Best of all, you can start playing a mythic character at any point—even as early as 1st level!
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Mythic Adventures is a must-have companion volume to the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook. This imaginative tabletop game builds on more than 10 years of system development and open playtests featuring more than 50,000 gamers to create a cutting-edge RPG experience that brings the all-time best-selling set of fantasy rules into a new era.
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Mythic Adventures is a 256-page hardcover book that includes:
- Complete rules for playing mythic characters of six different paths: archmage, champion, guardian, hierophant, marshal, and trickster.
- New mythic feats for every class, such as Powerful Shape, which allows druids to transform into enormous animals, or Deadly Stroke, which lets a mythic character dispatch even a formidable enemy with a single blow.
- A whole grimoire of new and supercharged spells. Bring down a castle with a mythic meteor swarm, transform the landscape with terraform, or make every memory and record of someone disappear with mythic modify memory!
- Tons of monsters enhanced with mythic abilities and ready to challenge your heroes, from dragons to vampires!
- A hoard of new mythic magic items and artifacts. Brandish the sword of inner fire, capable of burning even elemental creatures, or turn your enemies to stone with the medusa-headed shield aegis!
- A complete mythic adventure for 7th-level characters.
- Advice on running a mythic game and forging your own legends.
... and much, much more!

I really do love this book, the rules are well thought out and the advice on how to use them is very well done. There is a tun of stuff that I will use if not often, then at least to great effect.
If I am to have one issue with this book, it's that some of the classes created after the Core Rulebook get a bit shortchanged. The alchemist in particular has to work quite a bit more then others to make themselves viable. That is not to say there isn't a lot for them, just that they need to hunt a bit for it.
However lower support for advanced classes seems to becoming par for the corse and sadly was something I expected. It's a pity if not for that this would easily be a 5 star book.

Loved this book. A definite must have for anybody who wants to run a game with a little more oomph. The art is spectacular and the new rules are very well done. A book of mythic stature, no doubt

Never before have I read a game supplement that filled me with such awe and terror.

Interesting options but I haven't played enough regular Pathfinder to be looking for ways to supersede the rules. Maybe I'll return to it in a few years.

Interesting take for upping the ante in a game. I'll have to give it a try sometime.
