Academy Handbook: St. John's College of Abjuration

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A handbook for students of the famed college of Abjuration, including many new rules for Abjuration specialists. Includes rules covering antimagic spell casting, new ritual magic and introduces the various faces of abjuration wizards.

In writing this, the first of the Academy Handbooks, we have tried to take a step away from the usual fare of spells, feats, prestige classes and the like. Its not that we didn't want them in it, after all we all like books of stuff, but the emphasis is shifted onto the setting background.

The purpose of this is to create a book that, for players is both a splat book and an interesting read that makes them think about how and where their character learned their magical abilities. For the GM, on the other hand, it is not merely a book for players that will cause them numerous headaches. Instead it is a self-contained setting that can easily be slotted into their existing campaign world.

A very flavorful take on a somewhat underappreciated class. Lots of spells to add oomph to the school as well as fluff for setting and characterisation. [...]

A good solid follow up to FH: Paladin. The mix of setting and splat is something I've never seen before and I hope it catches on as it works really well. The setting is well written and engaging. It's perhaps simple and doesn't really have any [...]

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.
