I've adjusted the Hit Die to d8s for consistency, and adjusted the skill points to 2+Int because of SAD. The class doesn't receive a choice of domains or schools, so it counts the bonus slots the wizard or cleric would have as normal slots. Yep, it's pretty much a divine equivalent of the...

Since none of the books I've seen include an Intelligence-based divine spellcaster that carries a prayerbook, I've decided to make one myself. The archetype below is loosely based on the Archivist from Heroes of Horror, but uses only text from the PRD and 3pp sources to make it Open Game...

There’s always Pathfinder. In any case, if you don’t have the time or inclination, I’d be glad to follow up on this idea myself. The XPH mindflayer had the same statistics as the MM version, except that the spell-like abilities were replaced with "manifests powers as a 9th-level psion." Does...

It's great to hear your response after all these years. Of all the various substitutes, yours hold a special place in my heart, mostly because you put them all in one place for convenience. I have two questions about that, if you'll oblige me: 1) Did you ever plan to write substitutes for the...

The aboleth is listed as an OGC alternative to the mind flayer.

As an alternative to the Oracle, I present a conversion of the Mystic base class from the Dragonlance campaign setting, attached below. The following sources were used when designing the class: Mystic | Guile's World Dragonlance Nexus: Dragonlance Spellcasters (Pathfinder Style) - Fandom...

I was just wondering, are we going to see the Lethids and Sli'ess from Slavelords of Cyndonia in a future Trailblazer supplement? I'd heard they were going to appear in the Teratologue, but I didn't see them anywhere.

I've added loads more to the list. It's become unwieldy so I've had to split it across multiple posts. Comments welcome. ~~~ Non-PHB Classes Warlock (Complete Arcane) Invoker base class, The Invoker by Red Goblin Games--Close enough, but not limited to demonic origins. Warlock base class...

I've got a revised version of the wheel diagram that focuses on the values the outer planes embody rather than mythology correspondences: Thoughts?

In my cosmology, a soul's destined afterlife is not always a simple "soul of X alignment goes to plane of X alignment to be rewarded." It's influenced by karma (the person's collective actions in life, for good and ill), faith (the religious beliefs of the person, what gods they follow, what...

I bought a hard copy of Gary Gygax's Cosmos Builder, which had some suggestions for planes. Thoughts?

He more or less created the devils. Other gods of evil don't have that luxury.

They are both fiends that achieved godhood, as opposed to being born that way. Their legions were inherited from their pre-deity days.

What is stopping fiends of other alignments from being embodiments of sin or death? That's like saying only Archons can embody virtues and only Agathions can embody birth. All fiends were evil human souls who went to the lower planes and were reshaped into fiends (right out of Chinese...

Most of the fiendish races generally look out for themselves or serve god-like fiends (archdevils, demon lords, horsemen of the apocalypse, thanatoic titans, etc), but none of the non-fiendish evil gods really seem to have dedicated servitor outsider races. Would it not make sense that the gods...

The Slayer's Guide to Elementals provided OGC statistics for the 2e para- and quasi-elemental planes and Wizards of the Coast didn't sue Mongoose. It's not the ideas, but the specific implementation that distinguishes it from world mythology. For example, 2e Acheron is a plane of floating...

This is a slight modification of fluff written by rasgon, altered for the Pathfinder background. It's meant to address certain things about the game background like "the gods created the titans, then successfully smacked them down when they tried to rebel. What's the moral of this story? That...

Yeah, the sourcebooks make some noise about demons being tied to the seven sins (and somehow all other fiends cannot, despite Rakshasa and Divs being described as men of wealth and taste), but in practice it turns out like this. Most of the fiends, when they aren't trying to conquer (devils) or...

Something I've been wanting to do for a while was to create an OGC "great polyhedron" cosmology inspired by AD&D and 4e, with some influence from Beyond Countless Doorways and mimir.net, to better foster planar adventures. I entertained the idea to reorient the elemental and energy planes as...
