The Gonzo Book 

When titling this book, we had to find an appropriate phrase, and “gonzo” was the only one that gave us a perfect fit. This book looks at the Pathfinder system as being more malleable in terms of inspiration and tone; that is to say, designers and players can use this book to inject a heavy dose of other genres and aesthetics into what would normally be a traditional (somewhat Tolkien-inspired) fantasy game. That being said, these classes are a bit “out there.”

Over the years we’ve all played or ran (or thought of playing/running) a quirky game that did not quite mesh with the established tropes and deviated from the standard source material. Maybe you played a spelljamming quasi-scifi magic punk game, a dying earth game, a lovecraftian mystery game, an anthropomorphic post apocalypse game, a solo hyborian inspired adventure, or something we have never heard of before. Ever ran ‘80s-ish “heavy metal” inspired dungeon crawl where music is all-powerful while Blue Oyster Cult’s "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" plays in the background? How about a punky post-apocalypse rebellion game? While our games often start out as Lord of the Rings but end up more like Monty Python, why not embrace the comedic aspects? This book includes classes and sources of inspiration for your next Pathfinder game in an attempt to shock the traditional system.

The rule of thumb when using this book is player enjoyment and engagement. The classes and variant rules presented in this book should only be utilized with both GM and player buy-in. If not everyone is onboard with your tongue-in-cheek romp through famous works of fantasy literature, you (as a GM) might want to rethink your approach to the game and the allowed material.

The Mime's Mocking Spell ability has a variable effect depending on the result of the counterspell check. Since counterspelling normally has no check associated with it (the closest equivalent is using dispel magic to counterspell), what sort of check is this? Is it the Mime's class level rolled against the spellcaster's caster level?

Correct. It's if there is an opposed caster check. In this case you'd use your mime level as your effective caster level.

How much currency does the Craven need to sacrifice to activate his Armor of Gold ability? The text doesn't specify a precise amount. (The Rebate craven talent implies it's 1 gp per point of DR; is that correct?)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
