An image of Amiri the iconic Pathfinder barbarian and Seelah the iconic Pathfinder champion fighting a skinless horse and rider while Quinn the iconic Pathfinder investigator pours a blue liquid into the green pool Seelah stands in. Quinn is a safe distance from the action. Caption: AS AMIRI AND SEELAH FIGHT THE FLESH MONSTER, QUINN CONTRIBUES TO THE BEST OF HIS INVESTIGATOR ABILITIES It's accompanied by a screengrab of the That's Odd Investigator feat and the line "When you enter a new location, such as a room or corridor, you immediately notice one thing out of the ordinary." from the feat's description.
He's an investigator, not a fighter.

This text graphic asks "What Know Direction content would you like for the 5th Wednesday of October?" and offers the following options: A Halloween actual play one-shot. A streamed episode with KD staff, similar to our holiday parties. I only have two ideas. I guess I thought a third idea would come to me as I typed.
Ryan asks the Know Direction listeners for help deciding what to release on October 29th.

There are character sheets, and then there are sheets with character!
We're blown away by the graphic design Oxen? put into this sheet for Saturnus The Mysterious.
The colours pop. The layout is amazing. Our favourite detail is the moon phases visualizing the attributes. So clever and artistic.
Jake from Wisdom Check joins Ryan to talk about what he loves about making characters for Pathfinder, how he infuses psychology into his builds, and what's so great about being weird.
