Classes
Archer (Core Class): The Barrage Limit Break has changed into Shell Piercer.
Bard (Core Class): The Destructive Shout Limit Break has changed into Auric Beauty.
Beastmaster (Core Class): Beastmaster was split into two classes. Beastmaster will follow the path of nature and animal companions. Berserker will follow the path of rage and destruction. All current archetypes updated to the new Beastmaster.
Berserker (Base Class): Split off from Beastmaster. Battlerager, Bear Warrior, Dragoner, Frenzied Warrior (renamed from Berserker), Hateful Rager, Marauder, Meowsterful Rager, and Werewolf archetypes now function off the Berserker class instead of Beastmaster.
Black Mage (Core Class): The Ultima Beam Limit Break has changed into Ultima Weapons.
Blue Mage (Base Class): The Azure Summoning Limit Break changed into Scan Master.
Chemist (Base Class): Bombs now increase by every 3 levels instead of 2 (to a maximum of 7d6), but added Potent Bombs as a Discovery if you wish your bombs to get back to normal.
Dark Emperor (Prestige Class): Added Spellcasting to their list of talents.
Dark Knight (Base Class): Carve and Spit (Su) (Abyssal Art): Clarified that this only works on creatures. Clarified that Darkside consumes actual hit points and not temporary hit points he may have. Changed from character level in HP to dark knight level in HP cost for Darkside.
Dragoon (Core Class): The Falling Meteor Limit Break has changed into Bahamut Leaps.
Engineer (Base Class): The Overdrive Limit Break no longer grants a bonus to attack and AC.
Fighter (Core Class): The Mighty Strikes Limit Break has changed into Critical Strikes. The Omnistrike Limit Break now grants extra attacks in a full-attack but with penalties.
Gunbreaker (Hybrid Class): Readded the additional damage to magicked ammo, removed the trigger attack penalty removal. Changed the Big Shot modification to specifically reference Blast Shield and Brutal Shell’s bonuses. Gun Arm Techniques now all share their daily uses, rather than daily uses per technique. Resonance Blade: Now removes the penalty from trigger attacks. Razor Sharp (Gunsmith Modification): Increased to +2 damage bonus. Magicked Ammo: Increased damage scaling from every 4th level after 1st to every 2nd level after 1st.
Gunner (Base Class): Added Gunsmith Modifications.
Knight (Core Class): The A Knight’s Blessing Limit Break has had its progression altered to every 4th. The A Knight’s Protection Limit Break was reduced to 1 dr/- but both the DR and SR now stack with other Knight features and talents.
Master (new Prestige Class): The master specializes in more complicated moves than simple damage-dealing strikes. His mastery of combat maneuvers is terrifying to see.
Monk (Core Class): The Force Blast Limit Break has changed into Flawless Fists.
Raven (new Prestige Class): Ravens are created based solely on a single criteria, loyalty. Should a member of an organization show vast loyalty and zeal for their cause, the leader can put in the orders to have a Raven made. Through the ordeal of treatment, they lose their past self and embrace servitude to the one who created them. When the treatment is complete, they are entirely a new person, their memories and personality lost in the fog, but they have the inherent knowledge to follow orders. – created by Kuro.
Redeemed Knight (new Prestige Class): Once having walked the path of darkness you have deemed to walk the path of light again, but having succumbed to your dark side has still left a taint upon you and leaves you forever changed. – created by Arcueid.
Red Mage (Core Class): The Flexibility Limit Break now trades 3hp per 1mp. The Flexibility Limit Break now requires a free action instead of an immediate action for converting HP and MP.
Samurai (Hybrid Class): Made a change to Blazing Initiative.
Thief (Core Class): The Perfect Dodge Limit Break no longer auto-succeeds against reflex saves.
White Mage (Core Class): The Breath of the Earth Limit Break no longer provides a save bonus.
Archetypes / Deific Orders
Academician (new Nu Mou Scholar archetype): The academician focuses his studies on researching carbuncle, being able to summon one to his side and making it a more powerful companion than even the mighty summoners. This focus however, means that they never truly master the art of balancing their light and dark magic in perfect harmony. – Created by Moggle Mog.
Ambusher (Archer Archetype): The Incapacitating Shot Limit Break has changed into Incapacitating Fire.
Battle Dancer (new Black Belt archetype): Battle dancers practice a martial art that emphasizes constant motion, hiding their training from colonial oppressors by presenting it as an acrobatic dance.
Bone Breaker (new Black Belt archetype): Bone breakers excel at breaking things, especially people. The bone breaker is most capable as a one-on-one fighter. A few well-placed blows soften up an opponent and make him more susceptible to the bone breaker’s signature joint-breaking move.
Clone Master (new Time Mage archetype): Through strict adherence to the high-tech art of “mirror mastery”, a clone master can create life-like temporary clones of themselves and use them to overwhelm their opponent. They are part stage- magician, part-warrior, and a crowd unto themselves. The art of mirror mastery originated with a study of blink dogs, which in turn allowed the user to displace themself slightly. After combining that art with the art of illusion and several high-tech augments, the art of mirror mastery was discovered. Clone masters, also known as “shards”, have turned the art of mirror mastery into a martial discipline as deadly as any other fighting style.
Combatant (Thief Archetype): The Adrenaline Rush Limit Break no longer doubles attacks.
Cruise Chaser (new Deific Order for Ark): A cruise chaser worships the god, Ark. Those who follow the path of the Lord of Airships possess a desire to travel the world, protecting those in need as their patron would, and feel their mobility and skill increase with their faith. – Created by Chrono.
Dwarven Crossbowyer (Dwarf Archer archetype): Added Quick Finger (2nd), Bolt Ladder (4th), and Intimidating Shot (13th).
Elementalist (Black Mage Archetype): The Unresistable Elemental Spell Limit Break no longer ignores saves but can now overcome elemental immunity.
Farstriker (Dragoon Archetype): The Aerial Strike Limit Break has changed into Shin Striker.
Grudge Holder (new Tonkin Dark Knight archetype): Few things can strike fear into an adventurer’s heart more than the glint of a tonberry’s knife. It’s slow, unrelenting approach has earned a reputation of doom among those who would venture forth into dark ruins. Each slash of the knife carries with it the anguish and torment of thousands of tonberries who have perished at the hands of their adversaries. With this dark power, the knife’s grudge will be fulfilled. – Created by Tem Wizard.
Hell’s Guard (new Roegadyn Dark Knight archetype): Certain traditions and practices have been passed down by the roegadyn tribes, martial prowess which calls upon darker aspects of one’s self. These Lohengarde roegadyn train in the shadow of a volcano which was believed to be the gateway to Hell. Warriors have passed these martial traditions down through the ages, even if the standards of today’s society would shun these dark arts. Nevertheless, many adventurers will not think twice about standing with these dark warriors, their prowess on the battlefield as invaluable as one of the guards of Hell – Created by Rigby.
Knave (Knight Archetype): The A Knave’s Rebuke Limit Break now uses up their Attack of Opportunity.
Lantern-Bearer (Tonkin Astrologian Archetype): The Empowered Lights Limit Break no longer grants maximum damage, instead it now re-rolls 1s and 2s.
Meowfist (new Palico Monk archetype): A meowfist is a student of the school of hard knocks, who dedicates himself to learning how to take down foes by any means necessary. A meowfist isn’t afraid to smash a tankard over a foe’s head, stomp an opponent’s foot, gouge an eye, or generally create mayhem to gain any possible advantage.
Mystic Knight (Red Mage Archetype): The Mystic Adrenaline Limit Break no longer reduces the cost of talents.
Occurian (Deific Order): Limit Break’s duration changed to fit all other LBs. LBs effects altered. History’s Weave now is a choice between the knowledges. Crystal Cataract has a daily limit. The Throne Immortal has a daily limit. The Undying has a daily limit.
Oracle (Astrologian Archetype): The Future Knowledge Limit Break now progresses every 4 levels instead of 2.
Outfitter (Red Mage archetype): Added Garment Grid Ensemble (20th), replacing Red Wizard.
Paradigm Shifter (Red Mage Archetype): The Gestalt Mode Limit Break was changed to double the effects of your current Paradigm Shift.
Primal Knight (Knight Archetype): Their previous Limit Break was shortened down into the new Primal Influence Limit Break, and now affects their attacks rather than doing a radius.
Prowler (new Palico Thief archetype): Most cat-sized creatures, regardless of their level of intellect or ability to reason, are at a significant disadvantage in combat due to the simple fact that without reach, these little creatures expose themselves to attack when they fight. Palicos have mastered the tactic of lunging with sudden ferocity, allowing them to exploit their size as an advantage rather than a detriment.
Psychic (Astrologian Archetype): The Foresight Limit Break no longer grants a reflex bonus and bonus to ac reduced to 1.
Pyromancer (new Goblin Black Mage archetype): Some goblins use their ingenuity not on clever traps or feats of engineering, but instead on more arcane pursuits. These mages hone their abilities to manipulate fire to their will, excelling at using the destructive power of flames. Inevitably, these pyromancers cannot resist their instinctual urges to blow things up. – Created by Rigby.
Serpent Archer (new Lamia Archer archetype): In some snake cults, there are lamia who admire serpents for their beauty, some for their wisdom, and some for their abilities as predators. Within this last group are a subset that see a serpent’s abilities as weapons to be used and exploited rather than worshiped or emulated. These are the serpent archers, combining the deadly powers of snakes with their own natural aptitude with bows. The serpent archers respect their scaly brethren and practice a strange way of melding their skills with the abilities of the ophidians.
Sky Pirate (Thief Archetype): The Rallying Cry Limit Break no longer provides a save bonus.
Temporal Reaper (new Time Mage archetype): Tick tock, goes the clock, the temporal reaper comes for your flock. Time has a way of making sure anomalies and paradoxes do not happen, and bestows blessings upon those attuned to time to regulate the flow. Not all time mages are harken to the call, but those that do often get referred to as Death’s Assistant. – created by Kuro.
Trader (Thief Archetype): The Bifelgan’s Bounty Limit Break changed into Don’t Touch The Goods.
Tunneler (new Kobold Engineer archetype): Kobolds make their homes beneath the mountains, living in darkness most of their lives. While some may venture up to the surface, others will use their ingenuity to burrow further into the earth to reap the rich mineral bounties. The finest kobold engineering makes use of instruments such as massive drills which tear through rock at alarming pace. – Created by Rigby.
Valkyrie (Dragoon Archetype): The Asgardian’s Conviction Limit Break no longer confirms critical hits.
Vermilion Duelist (Red Mage Archetype): The Manafication Limit Break only affects a single talent or spell per round. The Vermilion Scourge Limit Break has been changed into Crystal Runic Scourge.
Warrior (Fighter Archetype): The Berserk Limit Break no longer auto-crits. The Inner Release Limit Break no longer grants a bonus to attack and damage.
Spells
Astrologian Spells: Added Avoid as a 5th level spell, replicating the spell of the same name from Final Fantasy Type-0 as well as the dodging ability of Noctis in Final Fantasy XV. – Created by DeadKingKicker.
Bard Songs: Added Pinning Nocturne as a 3rd level song, a bard song from FFXI meant to disrupt enemy casters. – Created by MagnusXL.
Black Mage Spells: Added Avoid as a 5th level spell, replicating the spell of the same name from Final Fantasy Type-0 as well as the dodging ability of Noctis in Final Fantasy XV. – Created by DeadKingKicker.

Added Null Element as a 3rd level spell, the White Mage spell based on NulShock and Friends from Final Fantasy X. – Created by Temujin.
Time Mage Spells: Added Avoid as a 5th level spell, replicating the spell of the same name from Final Fantasy Type-0 as well as the dodging ability of Noctis in Final Fantasy XV. – Created by DeadKingKicker.
White Mage Spells: Added Avoid as a 5th level spell, replicating the spell of the same name from Final Fantasy Type-0 as well as the dodging ability of Noctis in Final Fantasy XV. – Created by DeadKingKicker. Added Null Element as a 3rd level spell, the White Mage spell based on NulShock and Friends from Final Fantasy X. – Created by Temujin.

Archetypes / Deific Orders
Dark Swordsman (Dark Knight archetype): Added a choice of SS talents to DS talents.
Defiant Testudo (new Kojin Black Belt archetype): The kojin black belt eschews armor, preferring to learn to use his own natural defenses.

Dragon Knight (Dragoon archetype): Added Draconic Fury LB.
Empty Vessel (new Genome Blue Mage archetype): By not filling her soul with all the spells of the monsters she has learned from, she is able to gain additional powers by being selective with what spells she uses. This is the way of the empty vessel, ever learning, selectively choosing. – Created by Moggle Mog.
Highlander (new Immortal Blue Mage archetype): Some Immortals have awakened to knowledge of a great and terrible Game, pitting them against their brethren in a contest said to lead to ultimate power. While the fabled Gathering is still rumored to be a long way off, and the coveted Prize even further, these Immortals are still capable of taking the memories, skills, and experiences of those they kill in preparation for this ultimate contest. – Created by Raitzeno.

Some see themselves as mere conduits through which their god acts, while others see themselves as having a stronger and more personal bond with their deity. They walk a harsh road, but those that prevail truly deserve to be called paragons of their faith. – Created by Mir.
Rancher (Deific Order for Chocobo/Fat Chocobo): A rancher worships the gods of transportation, Chocobo and Fat Chocobo. With their faithful chocobo companion, they help raise it as they travel through the world, meeting friends along the way and assisting them in their travels. – Created by Moggle Mog and Chrono.
Sundrop Storm (new Vanu Vanu Dancer archetype): The Sea of Clouds is a sparse archipelago of floating islands, with limited resources to go around. The vanu vanu tribes that inhabit them know this, and that senseless warfare over territory would severely cripple their race’s numbers. To that end, battles can be decided before they are fought through a ritual war dance known as the sundrop. If one side does not falter in morale, they must be prepared to face the full fury of their enemies, for the best war dancers are even more fearsome in a true battle.
Swarm Fighter (Gnath Fighter archetype): Added Swarming Attack (2nd).
Swarm Shifter (new Gnath Geomancer archetype): Gnaths learn to channel the essence of the basest and most overlooked animals, vermin.

Thug (new Seeq Thief archetype): Some seeq steal with finesse, their victims only discovering the crime when the thief is long gone and the coin already spent. A thug, on the other hand, cares nothing for finesse. Through both threat and violence, the thug gets what he wants by the promise of force, and has no problem making good on that promise as needed.
Titan Mauler (new Berserker archetype): In lands overrun by giants, dragons, and other hulking beasts, entire fellowships of berserkers hone tactics and traditions with one purpose—to bring low these massive foes. While her enemies’ size makes the creatures strong, the titan mauler is even stronger, taking up weapons from her fallen foes that no lesser warrior can lift, and using them when she beseeches the spirits to grant her increased size and greater ferocity against her titanic foes.
Spells
Astrologian Spells: Added Benefic I-IV. Added Gravity Ball as a 5th level spell, replicating the attack Gravity Ball by Cecil in Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) as well as Prompto’s Gravisphere attack from Final Fantasy XV. – Created by DeadKingKicker

Geomancer (Base Class): Added Surecast to list of tricks.
Hardened Veteran (new Prestige Class): There are those who have overcome adversity, thrust into a life filled with battlefields and encounters with both monsters as well as man. Through their experiences, they grow more accustomed to the lifestyle, allowing them to better deal with adventures lush with violence. – Created by NapazTrix.
Illusionist (Base Class): Added Surecast to list of powers.
Necromancer (Base Class): Added Surecast to list of talents.
Ninja (Hybrid Class): Moved Shadow Step to 16th level, moved Hidden Master to 19th level, added Slicing Wind (20th level).

Red Mage (Core Class): Added Surecast to list of arcanas.
Scholar (Hybrid Class): Added Surecast to list of exploits.
Time Mage (Base Class): Added Surecast to list of talents.
White Mage (Core Class): Added Surecast to list of talents.
Archetypes and Deific Orders
Arcane Trickster (new Black Mage archetype): Few can match the guile and craftiness of arcane tricksters. These prodigious thieves blend the subtlest aspects of the arcane with the natural cunning of the bandit and the scoundrel, using spells to enhance their natural thieving abilities. Arcane tricksters can pick locks, disarm traps, and lift purses from a safe distance using their magical legerdemain, and as often as not seek humiliation as a goal to triumph over their foes than more violent solutions.
Blur (new Moomba Black Belt archetype): Moombas are what every shumi dreams of being, their physical forms surpassing their younger kin by far, in both stamina and cuteness. There are moombas that turn this unbridled energy they have into a ferocious weapon of momentum, somersaulting and cartwheeling fast enough that their hands and feet become blurred by movement.
Burglar (new Thief archetype): The burglar is a master of stealth and misdirection. Burglars are able to confound foes with a variety of clever and debilitating tricks. They also excel at attacking from the shadows, allowing them to take enemies by surprise.
Chronodancer (Time Mage archetype): Reduced to 3/4ths caster. (Limited Spellcasting rather than Diminished Spellcasting).
Featherweight (new Bangaa Monk archetype): When fighting hand to hand, many will try to be quick on their feet, avoiding their enemies’ blows at all costs. The nimble bangaa tend to adopt this fighting style, putting their lithe forms and thick hides to good use in dodging their foes’ blows. – created by Rigby.
Fiend Trainer (new Guado Beastmaster archetype): Among those who master the creatures of the wild, few are as feared and uncanny as the fiend trainer. While the activities of the natural world encompass both living and dying, fiend trainers toe this line and dip their fingers into the unseen realm. If beastmasters nurture beings who participate in the circle of life in the full light of day, then fiend trainers thrive in the shadow of this cycle as their companions linger on the doorstep of existence–much like their masters. – created by Virgil.
Healer (new Cleric archetype): The healer is a master of battlefield revivification, sustaining and restoring allies to keep them in the fight.
Heavyweight (new Seeq Monk archetype): When fighting hand to hand, many will try to power through their enemies’ strikes, and hit back much harder. The hardy seeq tend to adopt this fighting style, putting their girthy bulk and meaty arms to good use in pummeling their opponent. – created by Rigby.
Reborn (new Deific Order): The reborn worship the fiery god of rebirth, Phoenix. These worshippers are celebrants of the phenomenon of revival, dedicated to saving all lives, great or small. – created by Raitzeno.
Signifier (new Antica Black Mage archetype): The tunnels dotting the islands of Kuzotz are full of the warlike antica, who efficiently follow orders from their superiors in expanding their empire. Adventurers who venture beneath the sands should be wary, for the mostly silent beastmen can bring unexpectedly ferocious spells to the fore, their telepathy transmitting dangerous snares to careless foes. – created by Rigby.
Silent Wave (new Sahagin Ninja archetype): When sahagins attack a vessel, they will lurk beneath the waves unseen. A sahagin ambush will only happen when a ship is at its most vulnerable. Groups of sahagin will wait silently beneath the water’s surface, sometimes following a vessel for days. Sailors around the world agree; like the calm before the storm, the silent waves are the most fearsome. – created by Rigby.
Time Bandit (new Thief archetype): The time bandit does just what her name suggests—she steals bits of time. Mostly she steals boring, unneeded time from her own future, saving tiny split-seconds she can use to make her life easier in the present. As her powers grow, the time bandit can learn to manipulate bigger slices of time, giving her more options to enhance her actions or even alter the timeline of enemies and allies alike. Most of the time bandit’s effects are subtle to outside observers, seeming to be more good fortune and preternatural speed than control over time. But it’s clear to anyone who seen a time bandit dash past a charging horse, leap onto a narrow ledge, and flip over a guard’s crossbow bolt that a time bandit has some kind of temporal power.
Treasure Hunter (new Thief archetype): A treasure hunter is a discoverer of ancient secrets. They are the expert tomb-robbers, crypt-raiders, and cave-delvers who seek the treasures of lost civilizations and the power such treasures bring. Forgotten artifacts and lost mysteries are the prizes these explorers seek, and those who covet such antiquities will pay heavily for the services of a skilled treasure hunter.
Windrider (new Ixal Engineer archetype): The use of balloons and other aircraft is vital to the ixal way of life, air transportation of cargo through the mountain passes of their home being of extreme importance for the flightless beastmen. Many ixal have taken up the profession of designing and crafting airships, whether for practical reasons or even for spiritual reasons, these engineers stop at nothing until every ixal knows what it means to ride the wind.
Feats
Bard Feats: Added Authoritative Song, Coaxing Song, Crypt Song, Dazing Song, Disruptive Song, Encouraging Song, Fearsome Song, Focused Song, Heighten Song, Persistent Song, Piercing Song, Reach Song, Sickening Song, Song Perfection, Studied Song, Threnodic Song, and Thundering Song. – As suggested by Mir.
Metaspell Feats: Added Ritual Spell I, Ritual Spell II, and Ritual Spell III.
Spells
Blue Mage Spells: Added Level ? Holy (6th), Diabolic Whistle (8th), and Acid Rain (9th).
Miscellaneous
Iconics: Setzer (Iconic Gambler) and Yuna (Iconic Summoner) were added. – Created by Luph.
Limit Breaks: Added an alternate Limit Break, available to all characters called Second Wind.
Website Removal: All of the Fayth feats were removed as requested by author. The Ascian, Conductor, and Scion Deific Orders were removed as requested by author.

Middle of March Update!
This is gonna part 1 of 2 updates this month. Very shortly, I’m going into the hospital to take care of some infections, so the 2nd update won’t happen to the end of the month. The 1st update will include the new Druid hybrid class, spells, and archetypes.
Races
In preparation of the Druid hybrid class, added Favored Class Bonuses for Druid for the following races: Dwarf, Elvaan, Galka, Half-Breed, Hume, Mithra, Moogle, Orc, Sahagin, Sylph, Tarutaru, and Varg.
Hume (Core Race): Added Mako-Infused Super Soldier to the list of alternate racial heritages. – Suggested by DM Leibfrid.
Yagudo (Beast Tribe Race): Added a new racial archetype for Ninja (see below).
Classes
Azure Magister (new Prestige Class): Where other spellswords imbue their weapons with destructive magic or magically enhance their own combat capabilities, others prefer to lay the enemy low with debilitating spells before taking them to task with magically-empowered weapons. An eclectic blend of frontline fighter and offensive support, the Azure Magister controls the battlefield from the thickest of it, freely swapping between melee and spellcasting to confound and thwart his enemies while supporting his allies.
Dragonmaster (new Prestige Class): The dragonmaster is one who has passed the Dragon Trials, thus gaining the allegiance of the Four Dragons. The dragonmaster’s sole purpose is to protect and aid the Goddess Althena. Their heroic tales are often the theme of many bard songs.
Druid (new Hybrid Class): Within the order of the wilds lingers a power beyond the marvels of civilization. Furtive yet undeniable, these primal magics are guarded over by servants of philosophical balance known as druids. Allies to beasts and manipulators of nature, these often misunderstood protectors of the wild strive to shield their lands from all who would threaten them and prove the might of the wilds to those who lock themselves behind city walls. Rewarded for their devotion with incredible powers, druids gain unparalleled shape-shifting abilities, the companionship of mighty beasts, and the power to call upon nature’s wrath.
Hardened Veteran (Prestige class): Added Master of the Fight class feature. Added The Never-Ending Fight class feature.
Archetypes
Animal Shaman (new Druid archetype): This type of druid focuses on calling the spirit of a specific animal, imbuing themselves with their strengths.
Arcane Trickster (Black Mage archetype): Added Trapfinding (1st).
Druid (Beastmaster archetype): Was renamed to Keeper of the Grove.

Nokizaru (new Yagudo Ninja archetype): The yagudo are fiercely defensive of their ancestral home of Mindartia, having occupied the lands of the continent long before the founding of Windurst. These feathery warriors have a vast knowledge of the forests, hills, and plains of their homeland, allowing for deadly guerilla tactics. Unsuspecting prey may find themselves ambushed by zealous assassins who strike from above. – Created by Rigby.
Orc Fury (new Orc Druid archetype): Orc furies combine a druid’s love of natural balance with a single-minded devotion to the welfare of the orc tribe.
Sahagin Adept (new Sahagin Druid archetype): A sahagin adept dedicates herself to preserving the knowledge of the first sahagins and ensuring her people’s ancient connections to the natural world remain undisturbed. They serve as the keepers of the roots of the sahagin people and as their protectors.

Sky Druid (new Sylph Druid archetype): Some druids develop ties not to a particular landscape, but instead to the endless blue expanse of the skies. Such are the sky druids, who are more at home soaring through air than standing on the ground.
Swarm Monger (Druid archetype): Was moved from Beastmaster archetype to a Druid archetype.
Terrain Druid (new Druid archetype): Some druids are masters of the terrain they are most comfortable with. Their mastery of their chosen terrain can be frightening to some.
Treesinger (new Elvaan Druid archetype): Elvaans live far longer than other common races, and a single elvaan may see whole empires rise and fall. Given the impermanence of the cultures around them, it’s small wonder that some elvaans turn to the timeless growth of nature for solace, finding allies among the great trees themselves, and even leading the forest’s plants into combat.
Treestrider (new Druid archetype): Some druids are masters of the wild. Whether raised by apes or having some other link with simian creatures, these druids glide through the wilderness with ease.
Wild Rider (new Druid archetype): Wild riders, like many druids, form close bonds with their animal companions. In the case of wild riders, though, the druid and animal companion ride into battle together, acting as one entity to bring down their foes, their movements in perfect tandem and harmony. Each learns to anticipate the other’s actions, and the two move in concert.
Wilderness Medic (new Druid archetype): Wilderness medics know a variety of ways they can heal, supply and preserve a rebellion or similar movement without requiring any resources that might make them easier to track down.

May Update!
A whole slew of deific orders from my thoughtful members of my Discord. Appreciate all the work they’ve done.
Races
Nu Mou (Base Race): Adept has increased in rp cost, enfeebling resistance and Overwhelming Caster have been removed. Alternate traits have changed their replacements as a result. The lorespeaker alt trait has had its bonus reduced to compare better with its replacements.
Viera (Base Race): Added Misted Bows as an alternative race trait.
Classes
Archer (Core Class): Added some clarification text to Agile Archer in the case of STR penalties. Added clarification text to Two with One Blow talent that it can affect any attacks in a full attack.
Martial Arts Student (new NPC Class): Not all who learn the martial arts are monks. Even within the monasteries, there are those who practice the styles of the monks without ever mastering their deeper teachings. In more exotic lands where martial arts are commonplace, such as Wutai, Ala Mhigo, and Doma, Martial Arts Students are known as ‘Deshi’ (meaning students) and often serve as temple guards, escorts, and other roles that are filled by Watchpeople in other lands. The deshi is similar to the monk, without mystic abilities. He is often well trained with unarmed combat and can make a formidable opponent. Deshi lacks diverse abilities and make poor adventurers. – Created by Timothy Palmer.
Messenger (new NPC Class): Having to learn some form of self-defence, the messengers of the world are no strangers to dangers on the roads, treetops, or skylines. Messengers are commonly post-moogles and post-burmecians, delivering letters and parcels around the world, distributed by the well-known Mognet system that organises all mail. The motto of messengers is “information greases the cogs of the world, and we’re the engineers”.
Archetypes / Deific Orders
Artificer (new Deific Order for Golem): Artificers worship the father of constructs, Golem. These tinkers take it upon themselves to repair that which is broken, and make sure no building materials go to waste. In tune with the earth, they take only what is necessary to complete their current project. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Crystalist (new Deific Order for Hydaelyn): Worshippers of the Crystals of Light are granted power by the Mother Crystal, Hydaelyn. These multifaceted magicians work to promote harmony between races – by any means necessary. – Created by Raitzeno.
Disaster (new Deific Order for Kujata): Some clerics worship the cosmic bull, Kujata, for the destructive power he grants. Fearing a congregation of such volatile force in one place, many are barred from creating a true deific order where followers may come to worship Kujata within the walls of cities. Nevertheless, Disasters – as they are often called – will come together away from civilization, taking up new homes within old ruins and ancient forests. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Drigagoonie (new Hypello Dragoon archetype): Some hypellos strive to overcome their natural limitations on land, giving up on their natural swimming prowess to strengthen their legs. A select few can do both just as well, gracefully leaping through the air as if they were swimming underwater. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Dwarven Crossbowyer (Archer Archetype): Now gains Quick Bolt Exchange at 7th, replacing uncanny dodge. Updated wording of Quick Bolt Exchange to include full-round in the examples and changed swift into free to work the same as rapid reload. Added example on how it effects the heavy crossbow.
Equestrian (new Deific Order for Ixion): Equestrians worship the stormcaller, Ixion. An equestrian is as proud and noble as the horses and unicorns he styles himself after, bravely venturing forth upon a mount or on foot. Many will form a close bond with a valiant steed, or seek some other way they may grow closer to their patron. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Gardener (Deific Order for Eden): Changed Spellcasting from Geomancer to Druid.
Grudge Holder (Tonkin Dark Knight archetype): Added Everlasting Grudge to replace the capstone. Suggested by Tem Wizard
Heaven Piercer (Archer Archetype): Arrow Artillery has changed to a static damage bonus, now capped at level or first increment.
Keeper of the Grove (Beastmaster archetype): Now casts Druid spells instead of Geomancer spells.
Kensai (Samurai archetype): The Limit Break that allows a free combo finisher now requires a standard action to perform.
Maverick (new Deific Order for Fenrir): Mavericks worship the silver wolf, Fenrir. These free spirits travel the world to seek out their personal desires, encouraging others to take charge of their own lives. While it is unusual for mavericks to congregate in a holy order, each and every one is known to be fiercely protective of their pack. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Muse (new Deific Order for Siren): Muses worship Siren, the songstress of Leviathan. Many seafaring souls respect the song of the ocean, knowing full well that it could lead men to their doom. Thus, clerics of this deific order take up the song in order to stave off Siren’s wrath, by stilling the cruelty in the hearts of men. Muses are most often found in coastal settlements or out on seafaring vessels as crew. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Ranger (Beastmaster archetype): Now casts Druid spells instead of Geomancer spells.
Ostler (new Deific Order for Kirin): Ostlers take after the deity Kirin and his mortal kin. While horses are the Ostler’s area of expertise, he extends the same care to any who come seeking his aid for injuries or illness. Clerics of this order are most commonly found tending to the elderly in remote areas without easy access to hospitals, or in large stretches of farmland taking care of horses. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Pilgrim (new Deific Order for Valefor): Those who serve the Sky Soarer, Valefor, must take on a pilgrimage to various Astral temples across the land. These pilgrims tend to resemble animal trainers and summoners rather than traditional healers. – Created by Raitzeno.
Planar Emissary (new Deific Order for Maduin): A planar emissary worships Maduin, the Guardian of Astrals. They seek to quell the greed and hatred that is in the hearts of mortals, which they believe drove Maduin’s mortal bride from her home plane. To that end, they travel to every corner of the world, frequently assisting in the work of other cleric deific orders and the populaces those orders serve. A planar emissary strives for the betterment of mortalkind, so that one day there may be peaceful co-existence between man and deity. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Polarizer (new Deific Order for Quetzalcoatl): Polarizers worship Quetzalcoatl, the bird of static and pulse. Polarizers specialize in explosive devices as well as warfare against machines. With expert control over the battlefield, they move and adjust allies as well as charging up an explosive finale. – Created by fractalWizard.
Sentry (new Deific Order for Cerberus): The few followers that Cerberus has tend to be rather dedicated guardsmen, as those who seek to eradicate the undead – and the power to do so – would rather show deference to his master Hades. Nevertheless, some dedicated Sentries draw their power from the hound of the Underworld, whether to defend all they hold dear from menacing undead hordes or simply to keep pests out of their pantries. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Serpent Archer (Archer archetype): Bonus Bow Feat reduced to 1 feat at 4th and then another at 8th.
Sundered (new Deific Order for Zodiark): The sundered are those who fall under the view of Zodiark, the dark god that waits at the heart of creation. Though they and many of his faithful or enthralled servants were sundered, the dark spark of their true selves remain, and they can be awoken to this power. By controlling an ancient form of magic, they can weave their will into reality. – Created by fractalWizard.
Triad Master (Summoner archetype): Removed Limited Spellcasting, adding instead, Diminished Spellcasting.
Usher (new Deific Order for Doomtrain): There are very few that worship the ghost train, Doomtrain. Service to The One Who Never Stops will only reward followers with a better seat once it is finally their time for him to claim their soul, as well as knowledge on the workings of trains. Nevertheless, some take it upon themselves to work as an Usher for souls whose times have come, and to make those souls pass on from this mortal coil. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Void Beckoner (new Deific Order for Diablos): Few mortals dare to give reverence to the devil Diablos. His dark will would see demons and devils invade the material plane, causing untold death and destruction on but a whim. Yet the call of power tempts many, and the power that the Planar Gatekeeper can offer is great indeed. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Webslinger (Ninja archetype): Added Ki Venom and Greater Ki Venom to their list of ninjutsus.
Zen Archer (Archer archetype): The Limit Break that allows a free combo finisher now requires a standard action to perform.
Zephyrite (new Deific Order for Pandemona): Zephyrites worship the zephyr, Pandemona. These clerics see it as their duty to chase after storms, in hopes that they may witness their god’s destructive winds in person. While it is not strictly part of their duties or beliefs, many zephyrites will provide relief to settlements that have been ravaged by tornados and storms, if only so the inhabitants think they had nothing to do with the one who directed the winds their way. – Created by Rigby Shephard.
Spells
Black Mage Spells: Added Erase, 7th level, replicates the original intention of the NES version of Final Fantasy III spell of the same name. – Created by DeadKingKicker Added Aetherial Manipulation, 3rd level, based on the black mage ability from Final Fantasy XIV of the same name. – Created by Rigby Shepard
Dark Knight Spells: Added Aetherial Manipulation, 3rd level, based on the black mage ability from Final Fantasy XIV of the same name. – Created by Rigby Shepard

All of the current Tier 1 Alchemical Items now have pages.

By physically carving away their tainted flesh, they can use its dark energies to enhance their powers, call forth weapons from thin air, and bypass enemies’ strongest defenses.
Daemonic Vessel (new Au Ra Cleric archetype): Many clerics pray to or make evil bargains with fiendish powers, devoting body and soul to the insane plans and wicked aims of their despicable deities. But these mortal clerics are often just shallow beings searching for quick power or the caress of true and final oblivion—few truly grasp the full scope of the entities they worship. Daemonic vessels, through their fiendish heritage, share an innate connection with their deity, and that connection grants them understanding and power.
Spear Warden (new Dragoon archetype): A spear warden is a spear fighter who focuses on getting into the thick of a crowded melee. While most lancers aim to keep their foes at bay with the reach of their polearms, spear wardens make use of both ends, spinning their spears around to strike at their foes from up close.

Mustard Bomb now allows a will save on hit and the beginning of the target’s next turn.

Blue Magic column has been moved to its own page: “Creature Magic” under the Bestiary page. Additionally, all PDF buttons for each monster type have been moved to their corresponding monster type page.
Wondrous Items: Sabin’s Monk Tunic now notes how it effects past level 20.

Archetypes
Cacophonist (Bard archetype): Added Dissonance and Resonance.

Once a target is chosen, the subject charges (or takes the most direct path) and attacks the target with their held weapon at all costs until it dies or until the duration ends. If the subject cannot attack its target within their turn, they instead switch to another enemy creature that is nearest to them (if applicable).While under the effects of Berserk, the subject may only utilize move, attack, and full-attack actions in pursuit of and against their target. If the subject possesses any feats that augment the damage of an attack, they are used at every opportunity. The subject’s mind is so clouded by unyielding rage that they forsake using ranged weapons (bows, guns, power weapons, etc) properly, and instead opt to either use them as improvised melee weapons or their bare fists (as an unarmed strike). Creatures affected by Berserk do not threaten other creatures besides their target. Additionally, the subject gains a +2 circumstance bonus to Strength, a -2 penalty to AC, and is immune to fear effects while under the effects of Berserk.

Uninterested in colonization of the dry lands and content with the simple weapons and rituals that have served them well for millennia, lizardmen are viewed by many other races as backwater savages, but within their isolated communities lizardmen are actually a vibrant people filled with tradition and an oral history stretching back to before humes walked upright.
