Worship takes many forms. For some who live by faith, a temple, shrine, or other religious symbols may prove unsatisfactory for expressing their devotion. Instead, such worshipers demand a physical representation of their deity to receive prayers and adoration. Idolatry is the worship of idols, statues that represent gods and other divine forces. Idolators are pious individuals who perfect this worship, thereby forging a magical bond that animates the idol. This enables a divine aspect of the deity or outsider to walk the mortal world and perform miraculous works for the idolator on behalf of a faithful community or society. The idolator class is a hybrid class for the Pathfinder RPG that encompasses cleric, oracle and summoner classes, yet melds them into something altogether different. This sourcebook comes complete with a new class and abilities, archetypes, favored class options, magic items and the complete stats for the iconic idolator on the cover.

Recovery Dice Options for 5E D&D Within 5E Dungeons & Dragons (TM), Recovery Dice-otherwise known as Hit Dice- allow a character to recover hit points without the need for healing potions or cure wounds spells.

As described in the core rules, Recovery Dice represent a fire-and-forget healing system requiring minimal bookkeeping. As a result, most players tend to forget about Recovery Dice in the middle of a fight. But no more... Recovery Dice Options takes the concept and runs with it.

"The sun sinks slowly over the desolation of the ancient and once grand Empire. In the distance, on the mesas that mark a broad valley, lie the ruins of a city, once the jewel in the Empire’s crown. Her alabaster walls wind their way through the wilderness, guarding buildings both fair and ruined. It was a great city in its day, now long since fallen to the ravages of time and war. Long ago she stood as a shining doorway to the east, a place for rest and restocking of provisions for those on the long trek into the wildlands of the barbaric frontier in the Western Empire. But that is but a memory in this, the ruins of the Lost City of Gaxmoor. What shades of her past glory remained are laid waste to the pillaging madness of man, goblin, and beast. Her walls breached, her towers stained with ruin, her houses pulled down. The Lost City is a wreck of ruin and awash in fire and blood. The Lost City of Gaxmoor includes over 200 areas of interest, 70 magical statues, scores of NPCs, dungeons, factions of humanoids, mercenary bands, monster lairs, and more. Throw in the machinations of ancient gods and the rise of a demon prince and you have a setting that just won''t quit. Designed for characters that range from 1st to 10th level." --back cover.
