Paizo, fresh off a long-awaited update to Pathfinder's 2nd edition ruleset, announced some big moves for the game's ongoing story on Tuesday. The War of Immortals meta-event will kill a god, span multiple rulebooks, and reboot the publisher's line of hardcover novels. It will also introduce the first two original classes built after the company's formal departure from the older Dungeons & Dragons ruleset and OGL.
At the center of the new story arc will be Pathfinder War of Immortals, a 240-page hardcover rulebook due in October that will introduce "mythical rules" for Pathfinder Second Edition. These rules should work similarly to previous mythic content, which represented ways to make your high-level characters stand out with powerful boons and abilities. According to a press release, the book will also feature two new character classes – the animist and the exemplar – which are "the first original classes built on the remastered foundation of the Pathfinder Player Core."
