Selected Option:

Paths of Shadow for Shadow of the Demon Lord

Grizzled veterans of countless campaigns, brutish barbarians spilling out from the hinterlands, peerless champions fighting for a noble cause, or hard-bitten mercenaries who have seen it all: these character concepts describe just a few of the possible types of warriors one might find in Shadow of the Demon Lord games. Although warriors might have many different expressions and stories, they all are exceptionally capable with arms and armor in battle. As their experience grows, so do their durability and dependability. At the outset, warriors distinguish themselves by the weapons they wield and armor they wear, but not until they move onto other paths do they truly come into their own. Until now.

     Bred for Battle builds on the warrior novice path presented in the main rulebook by providing new customization options for combat-focused characters. These options offer more variety in technique, reflecting the nature of a warrior’s training and providing inspiration for future development. As with all Paths of Shadow installments, everything in Bred for Battle is optional, so check with your Game Master before putting these ideas to use.

I enjoy the added depth, however why does the Brawler and Gallant lose out on a language or career profession compared to other paths such as the Hunter and Armiger who gain both and an additional boon to stealth or social rolls?

Frankly amazing product, we just started to play Shadow of the Demon Lord and I absolutely wanted to convert one of my old character (a Monk) in SotDL but I couldn't. Now, I can! And it's very well made and flavorful.

Haven't bought yet, but not sure I like the idea, it seems counter-intuitive to the increasing complexity system SotDL drew me in with. Why have expert paths like the berserker if, thematically, you already have it covered in the Barbarian?

I bought it. I quite like it. It's just more options for people who want more options. The thing is, as SotDL stands, the early levels are probably a bit bland for a lot of people, especially people who play the game a lot. SotDL campaigns are short, so variety is a good thing for a lot of people

I just got it. Think of it like Uncertain Faith, but for Warriors. Nothing in here is earth-shattering except maybe the Spellguard.

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.
