Ultimate Truenaming

ADD TO WISHLIST >

We call it the First Language, and anything spoken in this most primal of tongues is law. Be the speaker king or peasant, the universe is compelled to shift the very fabric of its being to conform to that which is said. Complex beyond comprehension, this ur-tongue contains syntax and vocabulary capable of describing all that can conceivably exist in this, or any other universe. Though perfect mastery of such a construct is impossible for even the gods - this is why deities have portfolios - even a mortal can learn enough of the First Language to effectively BE a god with an incredibly narrow focus. These obsessive scholars and phoneticians are collectively called the truenamers, and their efforts to capture the power wielded by the gods themselves upsets everyone from clerics to cultists.

Ultimate Truenaming, part 3 of 3 of the Strange Magic project, expands upon 2014’s Libram of the First Language. Loaded down with new recitations, new inflections, new prestige classes and archetypes, and the new scion of discordia base class, what reviewer Endzeitgeist already heralded as “Truename Magic that ACTUALLY WORKS!!! YES!” is now bigger and better than ever!

    • The disciple of discordia (scion), who mixes monk defenses with a customizable Discordant Zone that actively chases its creator as he moves

    • The orator (truenamer), which extends Truespeech to speechwriting

    • The rulebreaker (scion), who can confound and pervert the very Laws of the universe itself

    • The savant of heart and mind (truenamer), a restricted “school specialist”

    • The speaker of the word, a holy man who has seen the truth of the First Language and now runs contrary to the established dogma of his deity’s church

    • The trueshaper, cursed with limited vision, but blessed with an unparalleled ability to shape that which he sees

I bought this at Paizo instead of here, but I just want to say what a great product it is. I loved the concept of this class from its 3.5 roots, and this book really takes that concept and makes it soar. All of the design problems are smoothed out, and new mechanics are introduced that make it so much more flavorful and a real joy to play. It’s not the most powerful spell caster, but it has some flexibility and some flair, and makes for a unique play experience. I highly recommend it.

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.
