Unearthed Archetypes: Heroes for the Ages

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Now updated with new and revised content! With 14* new class archetypes, 7 human racial variants, 7 age categories for characters, 85+ new magic spells and more, Unearthed Archetypes: Heroes for the Ages contains everything you need to play classic fantasy tropes including...
  • Human bloodlines of mythic origin or supernatural power (for playing characters similar to the Starks or Targaryens in A Game of Thrones, the Numenoreans in The Lord of the Rings, or the Melniboneans of the Elric tales);
  • Child heroes (a la Narnia, Harry Potter, The Neverending Story, Arya Stark, etc.);
  • Characters visiting a fantasy realm from a nonmagical world similar to our own (as in the old D&D cartoon, A Princess of Mars, The Wizard of Oz, The Chronicles of Narnia, etc.);
  • Heroes who advance into old age over a long career (like Conan, Bilbo Baggins, or the Earthsea novels' Sparrowhawk);
  • Skinchangers, druids who prefer to possess wild beasts rather than change their shape; 
  • Warlocks of the Pact of the Scar, who harvest power from blood sacrifice;
  • Clerics of the Hearth domain, devoted to protecting home, family, and community;
  • Arcana paladins who defend their allies with sword and spell;
  • Three specialized fighter archetypes;
  • NEW: Subclasses for barbarians, bards, monks, paladins, sorcerers, and wizards!
  • Masters of disguise, characters born with prophetic gifts or devoted pets, Mongol-inspired horseback-raiding tribes, the classic thief-acrobats, and more!

The printer-friendly PDF should be downloadable by purchasers now. Apologies for any delay.

Why is this using the Spears of the Dawn cover?

Sine Nomine Publishing was kind enough to release was kind enough to release all that art into the public domain after meeting a Kickstarter goal. They do that with a lot of their games, and it is a huge contribution to independent publishers. I was happy to be the first to use this cover here on DM's Guild's separate product ecosystem.

Is there a printer friendly version without all the dark backgrounds?

There is now! Thank you for the suggestion. The printer-friendly version also includes a new paladin archetype (adapted from Forgotten Realms Archetypes II: Champions of Mystery) and added spells.

So I just purchased and based on the preview information I find myself let down. The "human bloodlines of a mythic origin or supernatural power (such as the Targaryens in A Game of Thrones, the Numenoreans in The Lord of the Rings, or the Melniboneans of the Elric tales);" are not the human bloodlines you receive. I am looking at designing modified races for my campaign and since one of the concepts comes close to a Melnibonean, I purchased this title. On this basis I struck out with this purchase.

There is good work in this product, but buying this product expecting the following bloodlines is a let down. The author might be on more solid ground by using less specific of a selling point. That being said the bloodlines presented have their own merits. Most of the other salient features described above are accurate and worth a read.

The Targaryens and Melniboneans were my specific models when I was designing the Human (Variant) - Tainted Aristocrat. You feel I did a bad job? How could I have more accurately adapted them within the framework of the 5E rules (and within the bounds of copyright, obviously)?

SkinCHANGERS is quite a weird name for people who do not want to change their bodies.

Heh, I was working from source material. A certain series of fantasy novels popular both in print and on television...

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
