Pathfinder 1E Wrath of the Righteous Pathfinder CRPG Announced

The next Pathfinder CRPG is going to be Wrath of the Righteous, based on the 1e AP of the same name. "Wrath of the Righteous will migrate the RPG to a new part of the world of Golarion, the Worldwound, a demon-infested wasteland where a planar tear to the Abyss—which you’ll be able to visit—has opened".

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous announced

A new CRPG with a new setting, as an indirect sequel to Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Producers Owlcat Games are adding the Witch and Oracles classes. They are also adding a new race, the identity of which is currently unknown. Plus new archetypes, a version of the Mythic system, with six mythic paths to choose from, including Trickster, Celestial Angel, and Lich .

It's reasonable to assume that all the races and classes and archetypes will return from Kingmaker.

If that's the case, that means Sorcerer, Cleric, Fighter, Wizard, Rogue, Witch, Oracle, Inquisitor, Magus, Alchemist, Bard, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Slayer, Barbarian, Druid. That's 17 classes each of which will have at least 3 archetypes. It means Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes, Humans, Half Orcs, Half Elves, Aasimar (Plumkin, Angelkin, Archonkin, Azatakin, Guardinalkin, Emberkin, regular Aasimar), Tieflings (Kytonkin, Demonkin, Qippolothkin, Deamonkin, Divkin, Devilkin, Rakshasakin, Asurakin, Onikin, regular Tieflings).

No release date has been announced, but if it's set to be released in 2020, then between Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, Solasta, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, ect, 2020 is going to be one hell of a year for CRPGs!

Interesting!

Very oh and more information will be released tomorrow. I think it's likely going to be another kickstarter, which means stretch goals could add more classes, races, archetypes, Mystic Paths, Prestige Classes, a turn-based combat opinion in addition to RTwP, more monsters, quests, companions, weirder stuff, maybe more Gods and Demigods like Empyrean Lords, Demon Princes, Daemon Horsemen, Great Old Ones, Archdevils, Whore Queens (I did not name them), Archfey, Abyssal Titans, ect...

It is a good new, and I am really surprised because there are 17 classes, and this isn't a little number.

My doubt about creation of characters is if PCs races will be like 2nd Ed, with racial feats. And I could bet these base (no-core) classes will come back to Pf 2.

And this indirectly could affect D&D CRPGs because players will start to complain: "Pathfinder has got more classes, why only artificer after the core books?".

I'll move this over to the Pathfinder forum.

Nice! Kingmaker was a decent game and enjoyed it when I played it. This game sounds like a fun romp in the damper outs Worldwound location.

I think it is really cool that there is going to be another Pathfinder CPRG. I am perhaps disappointed that it will not be PF2 this time around, though I understand that from a practical perspective they have a successful game and a working engine and it is a lot easier for them to build on that rather than develop something new. Perhaps it is not a coincidence that they choose Wrath of the Righteous for just this reason, the AP which is probably the least convertible of all of them.

Yeah why start from scratch, when you can add onto what you have got.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is pointing the way for indie studio Owlcat Games

Pathfinder: Wrath of Righteous gives Owlcat Games a chance to not only apply what it learned with Kingmaker but grow as a role-playing game studio, too.

Apparently Oracle and Witch won't be the only new classes for WotR.

Classes so far are Slayer, Wizard, Rogue, Fighter, Cleric, Oracle, Sorcerer, Witch, Inquisitor, Magus, Monk, Bard, Paladin, Ranger, Kinetist, Barbarian, Druid, Alchemist, I was wrong, its 18 classes so far, not 17.

So what new classes on top of these would you like to see?

For me, Summoner, but that is a tough one. If Summoner is too hard, then Spiritualist, but with the divine magic archetype.
