The free Extinction Curse Player’s Guide is now available! From humble beginnings as members of the cast-off and cobbled-together Circus of Wayward Wonders, a handful of heroes will rise to avert a catastrophe that threatens to swallow the islands of the Inner Sea! Any kind of adventurer can find a home in the circus, from burly barbarians and flamboyant bards to nimble monks and flashy sorcerers, and the Extinction Curse Adventure Path welcomes them all. This player’s guide contains lots of spoiler-free advice to prepare your characters for the challenges ahead of them.
In addition to character advice, this player’s guide contains information about the Isle of Kortos and the Isle of Erran, and also describes the mysterious aeon towers that dot the islands. A short discussion on building circus tricks is also included in the player’s guide, although the full rules for running a circus appear in the adventure path’s first volume, Pathfinder #151 The Show Must Go On. Nine new backgrounds round out the player’s guide, including aerialist, barker, mystic seer, rigger, and—of course—clown.
