Trailblazer

A rules supplement for third-edition fantasy roleplaying games, presenting modular revisions to common system issues. It addresses class balance, skills, feats, multiclass spellcasters, encounter design, challenge ratings, and the adventuring-day cycle. Streamlined procedures cover combat, movement, iterative attacks, grappling, wild shape, polymorph, summoned creatures, turn undead, and familiars. Encounter budgeting, Elite and Solo templates, and designer notes support game masters in adapting the material to their existing campaigns.
