Mortals Stumble in Darkness; Heroes Light the Way.

Arcanis is a world of high fantasy, intrigue, and suspense. Diplomacy, skill, and discretion will carry you as far or farther than skill at arms or in the arts of magic. Heroes come in a myriad of forms. Some are fantastic beings born with the blood of Valinor or the souls of elementals. Others are the descendents of Celestial Giants who once roamed the stars as freely as a fish swims the sea. Many of the greatest heroes of Arcanis are simple mortals of mundane blood but lofty ideals. It is a world of heroes who stand between the common folk and destruction. You can be that hero. The power is in your hands; leave your mark upon the Shattered Empires!

This book is a comprehensive guide to making an endless variety of adventurers native to Arcanis. All facets of character development are explored, from national and religious viewpoints to the basic building blocks of character creation: names, races, classes, skills, feats, prestige classes, spells, and equipment.

This collection of lore is enough to forge an endless variety of heroes and includes:

? Nineteen races, including new ss?ressen, dark-kin, and dwarf varieties
? Sixteen base classes, including Paladin variants like the Bearers of Woe, the suffering faithful of the goddess Anshar
? Ten monastic orders, like the Order of the Bronze Sepulcher, dedicated to containing the threat of ancient undead creatures without actually harming them
? More than one hundred fifty new feats
? Forty prestige classes, such as the Coryani Battlemage and Altherian Sharpshooter
? New fighting styles ? learn from the weapon masters of Onara, including the teachings of the famed Red Sword Fencing School
? New armor, weapons, and equipment, including new flintlock weapons and a system of enhancements for flintlock pistols and rifles
? Dozens of new spells, such as rapture and your time to die
? New Val families and new bloodline powers for both new and existing families
? Detailed information on the Gods and Temples of Arcanis
? Information regarding national outlook and culture

To use this supplement, you also need the Codex Arcanis. This book requires the use of the Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition Core Books, published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc. This product utilizes updated material from the v.3.5 revision.
This PDF is fully bookmarked and was created from the original layout files rather than being scanned. The Player's Guide to Arcanis first appeared in print in August 2004.

"If you are an Arcanis Player, this book should be a no-brainer for you. ...it uses a lot of OGC but it's in one spot and it's updated for 3.5 and it's updated for Arcanis. If you play D&D, there are a lot of options here that may fit right into your campaign with little or no work. It's a great looking, huge book and its potential use is limited only by your willingness to work with it." - Joe Kushner d20 Filtered rating: 18 out of 20

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.
