Content
[edit]The book introduces 10 new classes, each of which are hybrids of two existing classes. These classes are arcanist (wizard and sorcerer), bloodrager (barbarian and sorcerer), brawler (fighter and monk), hunter (druid and ranger), investigator (alchemist and rogue), shaman (oracle and witch), skald (barbarian and bard), slayer (ranger and rogue), swashbuckler (fighter and gunslinger) and warpriest (fighter and cleric).[3]
In addition book contains archetypes and options for older classes, new feats, spells and equipment. Significant portion of feats and gear enhance abilities of the new classes or give weaker versions of them to other classes.[4]
Reception
[edit]Reviews of Advanced Class Guide were largely positive, one describing it as "a solid contribution" to the game system.[3][4] Other review acknowledged that new options "might upset the power level a bit". Subsystems like grit and panache were mentioned to be confusing in character creation. Nevertheless book was said to be relatively well balanced.[5]
