A Rogue Avenger of Gorum that sneak attacks with a Greatsword will be a commun occurence from now on, and I'm all for it
My players have been absolutely foaming at the mouth for this book to come out, and one of them is considering reclassing into Vindicator. Thanks for covering it, sometimes having someone explain in a video helps me comprehend more than just reading alone does.
I love how the exemplar art unabashedly leans into "Yeah this is a recognizable movie character. That's what you wanted to play wasn't it?"
I'm absolutely excited to see more of the Archfiend Destiny and the Bestiary
I think this video help ease my worries about mythic rules i gotta still wait for the whole picture before i decide i wanna buy it though.
Animist, Bloodrager that sounds like my dream barbarian, vindicators.... yeah, I need this book

Okay, okay, I see what's happening here,
You're face to face with greatness and it's strange.
You don't even know how to feel, it's adorable!
Well, it's nice to see that humans never change.
Open your eyes, let's begin,
Yes, it's really me, it's Maui, breathe it in.
I know it's a lot, the hair, the bod!
When you're staring at a Demigod!
What can I say, except you're welcome?
It looks great!
Animist, the first Full Spellcasting class that doesn't get access to their 10th Rank Spells. Instead gaining a slot for their Apparition.
So this gives you the archetype for the Inquisitor, do I understand that right? That'd be very useful for making the character sheet for Jaethal in Kingmaker.
Yes vindicator is a rename and reimagining of inquisitor.
This was a good overview. I am curious was there any coverage about how to splice into a Mythic style game when the campaign did not start out that way ?
I wanna see the demon lords statblock so bad. I gotta know its stats!! I wanna start making my own hb demon lords asap!!
I want to make more Mythic Enemies. Paizo dropped a Community Post that says they have a Mythic Ogre. Ogres need to be an Ancestry.
The exemplar sounds pretty fun but somewhat gamey. Like, how does having 3 magic items and a divine spark that alternates between them evoke the feeling of being a demigod? but I'm probably missing something
Most of the mythical hero's we think of fit this mold pretty well tbh, it's not that you have 3 magic items, it's that you have 3 items that have imbued themselves into your divinity. Think king Arthur and the sword in the stone or Thor and Mjolnir. meanwhile, body ikons, or ikons that take the form of parts of your body rather than items outside of it represent the impossible feats. worn ikons are the least common, but I think most often represent more implied powers of these people. King arthur would wear the crown, even if in the story his crown wasn't explicitly magical, his presence and leadership *is*.
Alltogether, the Ikon system allows you to intuitively mix and match the traits that make up a mythic hero's legend.
Because unlike almost all other classes, the Exemplar's power is not from rigorous practice or study. Their Power comes from a Divine Spark that grants them the Legendary Abilities PCs are known for.
And PCs are generally Demigods to some degree anyway. There is a Fighter Feat at high levels that allow them to swing their weapon and bat away spells. The Exemplar is just making that Power a given thing instead of earned.
These items are actually references to our world myths and legends
@@Olimar92 I think this is reductive tbh, yes, it's true these people are given a spark of divinity, but to reduce it to given power ignores that the divinity is only grown through *litterally* earning it. you need to cultivate a legend for your divinity to manifest. a level 1 exemplar is simply manifesting given divinity, but by level 20 your feats, ikons and most of all epithets are gained through the actions you take and the names you earn.
Of course flavor is free, you can make a lazy exemplar who's been gifted godly power if you wish, but narritively you are meant to cultivate the tiny spark of divinity in you through legendary action, the book goes into detail on how an exemplar should ideally inform the GM of what epithets they are going for so the GM can place appropriate challenges in front of their characters to narratively earn said titles
You are correct to identify all high level characters as demi-god like. A fighter can slash through the space in front of them in order to cut enemies at long distances. a monk can physically ascend, becoming so in balance that their body becomes weightless and their punches hit the soul. What separates this from the exemplar then is not the literal weight of their capabilities, but the narrative behind them.
