Anyone seen this?:

paizo.com - Soldiers of Fortune (4E)

I saw tons of tweets by Matt James as he was writing the thing... I didn't know it was produced by Paizo though. Rock on.

AFAICT, it's not produced by Paizo, but by Open Design. It's merely for sale at the Paizo store. Could be wrong, though.

Matt James · Feb 23, 2011

Yep, this is a sourcebook published by Open Design. Let me know if you guys have any questions.

TerraDave · Feb 23, 2011

Sorry, just using the paizo store link to sow confusion in the 4E ranks.

Soldiers of Fortune is the best damn sourcebook out there. Even if you're not a 4e consumer, you will find a ton of great new content within the book. As an added boon, fans of the Midgard Campaign setting (Kobold Quarterly) will find some truly juicy bits of lore within its pages. Also, I detailed a greater deity (Thor!) that I am fairly sure no party could take (yes, that is a challenge).

The write up mentions skirmishes and sieges: how many combatants can I throw in there? 20 per side, 100, 1000, 20,000?

Matt James · Feb 23, 2011

Well, as I am a traditionalist, you can throw as many as you want

That being said, there are rules for siege engines, and their effects. Keep an eye out for future Kobold Quarterly publications; where I intend to extrapolate on these alternate rules.

I'm currently playing in a 4e military campaign, so this product is quite naturally of potential interest to me. Could you tell me for which classes are the new powers and PP in the book?

Matt James · Feb 23, 2011

There are so many different powers, and they key off of abilities instead of class. But, here is a list of the PPs included and what prerequisite they have.
