A great catch all add to your Spheres game Youxia will bring you a taste of the east with new archetypes, talents, feats and more. Up your game with Stance talents that have limited duration but some great effects such as being able to make attacks of oppourtunity against those who miss you while you are moving.

Are you looking for a Handbook that just adds -a lot- of stuff to just about everything in Spheres of Might? Look no further then because this handbook is going to have something for everyone with so many new Talents, Feats, Stances, and archetypes. Its been one of my favorite Handbooks so far and I was super excited to see it come out of playtest.

One of the best comprehensive additions of content for Spheres of Might in a while. This book singlehandedly has added at least one new component to every character concept I've had in quite a while. The archetypes? Wonderful. The talents? WONDERFUL.

Now excuse me while I go play a Kung fu bard dude.

The Youxia's Handbook is one of the most interesting updates for the Spheres of Might system. With new high-wire kung-fu style options, this book is geared towards games with fantastic martial action, rather than just guys in armor hacking at each other with swords. Also, Strength to AC (within reasonable limits). Overall, definitely one of my favorite add-ons for Spheres of Might, and a worthy addition to any collection.

This book opens up a great amount of new options for the Spheres of Might system fitting wuxia-style play, as advertised. I don't think there's a single talent written in here that I don't love. I think all the new archetypes presented are great (Kung Fu Exemplar in particular looks awesome); I also very much like the idea of the Light Body Technique optional ruleset, and the idea of grandmasters presented within seems really interesting - hopefully I'll be able to make use of it in games I run. Take my 5 stars and my money.

Lot to enjoy with this book, between granting every martial sphere a passive stance buff of some sort as well as really making the inner punch lover within me go wild with all of the unarmed and athletic options. Archetypes are all solid as well, between some standard martial archetypes to mid casters as well as a few more neat things like a gish striker and a nerd who just wants to deck someone in the face. Overall, really enjoyed the content of this book would recommend for any spheres of might user.

Love the added options for martial oriented characters! This also has two of my favorite new archetypes, the Kung Fu Exemplar bard and the Martial Elementalist. The Bard archetype gives the class a whole new spin and is a very solid choice for blended character. The Martial Elementalist gives the classic SoP class just enough leeway be a great chasis for a martial caster focused on one type of magic

Contains a ton of new content for Sphers of Might and some spheres of power content that tries to bring an otherwise explored niche a fresh breath of life. The only thing keeping me from rating this 5/5 is that some options ended up being too conservative. These options remain valuable and a great addition with a little more leeway for otherwise completely gimped character concepts in late-stage era of pathfinder.
