This new sourcebook describes 20 different villainous groups for the heroes of any Pathfinder game to confront, ranging from brutal slavers, merchant groups, corrupt royal courts, to the ever-popular thieves’ guild.  Villains appropriate for every level of character group are included, along with new rules, feats, and spells to help the gamemaster flesh out the campaign villains.  Each group includes a history and structure, plot hooks, and pre-generated encounters.

Villain Codex will be a 256-page full color hardcover book.  MSRP is $44.99.

Paizo recently announces the March release of its sixth book of Pathfinder monsters (see “Sixth ‘Bestiary’ Book Joins ‘Pathfinder’”).
