Justicar of Muir – Paladin PrC focused on defeating evil outsiders.
It finishes with 4 pages of maps including a overview of the city map. A OGL and two pages of ads. (7 pages)
Closing thoughts. I think so far this has been my favorite part of the series so far. It is about exploring a old ruined city. The encounters are well done, with GM advice on tactics and how to run them. The PrC's are well done and can be ported to be used with any campaign setting with just a tweak of the names easily. Such as Justicar of Muir could easily be used as a PrC for Iomedea from Golarion.
The adventure is very sandboxy in that the adventures can go anywhere they want and explore what ever sections of the city they want. Which also makes it dangerous as the CR's vary from encounter to encounter. Which I personally like. The only real negative I can say about the adventure is one of the bookmark links is broke. The bookmark for chapter 3 takes you to chapter 4 instead. The rest all work fine. I am sure FGG will get the bookmark fixed soon and reuploaded. So what's my rating? Well I can't find any flaws in the adventure and the style of adventure really appeals to me. So I am giving it a 5 star review with the stipulation that they fix the one broken bookmark.
