The Genius Guide to Horrifically Overpowered Class Features

Pathfinder Supplement by Rogue Genius Games

DON’T USE THIS BOOK!

No, seriously. The Genius Guide to Horrifically Overpowered Class Features is the SEVENTH book in the largely reviled “Horrifically Overpowered” line of products for Pathfinder First Edition. While these rules give GMs and players everything needed to add Horrifically Overpowered options to class features, making them “playable,” they are NOT balanced with the power level of anything else in the game. The author and publisher won’t tell anyone it’s any good, warning that just because you CAN add these to a game doesn’t mean you SHOULD. The author doesn’t allow any of this in the campaigns he runs! The first book in the line resulted in an online discussion called “The Trial of Owen K.C. Stephens.” Clearly, this book is a terrible idea. But fans demanded it. The HO line has always been VERY popular. Among Rogue Genius Games’ best-sellers. So when the creator of the very concept behind Horrifically Overpowered books suggested that individual skills, proficiencies, and power of a character class could be given the HO treatment, there was a demand he add them to his Patreon. So he started with the fighter. And it was a big hit. And now, here, are edited and revised Horrifically Overpowered options for the class features of the Alchemist, Antipaladin, Arcanist, Barbarian (Core & Unchained), Bard, Bloodrager, Brawler, Cavalier, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Gunslinger, Hunter, Inquisitor, Investigator, Kineticist, Magus, Medium, Mesmerist, Monk (Core), Monk (Unchained), Ninja, Occultist, Omdura, Oracle, Paladin, Psychic, Ranger, Rogue (Core), Rogue (Unchained), Samurai, Shaman, Shifter, Skald, Slayer, Sorcerer, Spiritualist, Summoner (Base & Unchained), Swashbuckler, Vampire Hunter, Vigilante, Warpriest, Witch, and Wizard. And, like, three prestige classes. So, sure, if you WANT to you can add this material to your campaign. But don’t say we didn’t warn you!
