CHAMPIONS OF NEUTRALITY
Hello everyone. I am a humble lurker who goes by many names. Today I will go by the name Ronove72. I
welcome you to this special edition of Lurker’s Subclasses.
As you all know, the system we know and love is going through a bit of a transition at the moment. The greed of
certain companies has led to Paizo working to revolutionize the hobby of table top again with the new ORC License.
Reading through, I have seen many good changes, one of the reasons I praise and trust Paizo. However, to fully cut the
cord from Dungeons and Dragons, it also means cutting the ties with Alignment. And none are more affected by this
then the Champions.
For a long time, the alignment system has given shorthand on how to read the actions of NPCs, enemies, and
ourselves. True, in the real-world morality is more flexible, as the saying goes humans go through eight alignments
before breakfast, but they are still a nice little organization tool. Some may say too simple of a tool, but are all forms of
organization not so?
However, official releases have always played favorites. There needs to be many options for the forces of good, as our
heroes will benefit from the variety. There needs to be many options for the forces of evil, as our heroes need endless
intriguing enemies to be pitted against. However, when it comes to Neutral, they are always just fed the scraps, given
options because they are there, but mostly left to the wayside.
The Champion class suffers from the same. Good Champions in the Player’s Guide. Evil Champions in the
Advanced Player’s Guide. But no Neutral Champions. And with the Remaster coming out soon, with the release set
to remove the alignment system to instead focus on Tenants and Anathema, the time for three Official Neutral
Champions has officially passed.
As the last work I am releasing (for Pathfinder) under the Open Gaming License, I am here to give our Neutrals the
respect they deserve. So come and enjoy our short little Interlude, adding through fanon what canon refused us until
past the last moment.
