Banned Material

Rule of Fear utilizes the Pathfinder Society ruleset to determine legal source material for play. The list of their restricted rules can be found below:

Another way for checking for legal builds for your characters is to use the official Paizo repository for Pathfinder, Archives of Nethys:

https://www.aonprd.com/

Each item on the PRD is tagged by its source and by Pathfinder Society legality, making it easier to check whether it complies with our rules.

An alternate filter on Archives of Nethys allows you to start with a list view of source books and list each item which comes from that book:

Be sure to use this resource, as well as the archetype, class, and feat changes noted in Campaign Character Rules.

Homebrew

All homebrew created by GMs must abide by the rules of official Paizo content allowed by this campaign. GMs are allowed to homebrew the creations of minor NPCs, or monster creatures only. GMs are not allowed to alter or change major parts of the game world, such as installing a new ruler of Ustalav, or creating a deadly plague sweeping across the country, without permission from the campaign administrator, and a discussion with all other GMs.

All locales must be from official sources only. The means places such as countries, cities, towns, and villages. Creating average places such as shops, caves, or small camps is okay, but GMs may never create a major place of interest that isn't a part of official Pathfinder lore.

Again, GMs are not allowed to create events that drastically effect the game world, without first discussing it with all other GMs and the campaign administrator. Please keep this in mind when you create your adventures.
