From publisher blurb: Systematic Guides #01: Player Characters I is a collection of revised articles originally published in Savage Insider #10 and Savage Insider Deluxe #01. The articles are seemingly disconnected but can effectively be rolled into the category of options, mechanics, and inspiration for creating player characters, non-player characters, and using those to create encounters and adventures. Some of them even contain NPCs the GM can use to throw directly into a game. This collection of article includes new character backgrounds, archetype inspiration, and magic weapons. Player Characters I includes seven magazine-style articles providing a variety of content for creating and using characters: Dhampir - half-human, half-vampire character background Lokka - shapeshifting xeno character background Cataphract - frontline break character concept Engineer - tinkering character concept Hierophant - culti-leading divine spellcasting character concept Ranger - fantasy-staple character concept Magic Weapons - three amazing weapons for your fantasy games
