Player's Guide to Vathak

A player-focused guide to a fantasy horror setting threatened by ancient Old Ones and their spawn, combining cosmic horror, Gothic adventure, and Victorian influences. It introduces Vathak’s peoples, religions, magic, and struggle for survival, where morality is shaped by personal choices and the cost of resisting evil. The guide provides rules for nine playable races, four new classes, archetypes for the Pathfinder core and base classes, firearms, crafting, feats, weapons, armor, vehicles, alchemy, and other equipment. It also includes setting-specific horror mechanics, new options for divine characters, and spells suited to the dangers of Vathak.
