New supplement: Pathfinder Phantoms

I released a new thing!

Inglenook's Know Your Phantoms has a bunch of archetypes for phantoms, which as far as I know(?) haven't been done before. Certainly the're nothing official. It's also got the usual scattering of feats, traits, spells, etc. Let's share the blurb:

A supplement for Pathfinder 1st edition, introducing a range of archetypes for the spiritualist's phantom, as well as 12 spells, 24 feats, and new traits.

Why be satisfied with a plain old phantom? Meet the Horological Phantom whose strength is tied to the hour of its demise, with corresponding powers and weaknesses. Summon an Ephemeral Phantom with a moment's thought, but don't expect it to stick around. Let a Guiding Phantom serve you with wisdom and advice, or a Phantom-at-Arms meet your enemies with spectral steel! The Timeless Phantom has knowledge of future technologies, while the Ghost Soldier clings to the spectre of her trusty rifle and sends enemies running for cover. Let your phantom's power spill over into you as a Phantom Host, becoming a mixture of spiritualist and medium; or call up a Faded Phantom as a near-invisible ally. If your own passions are strong enough, become a Wilful Spiritualist with an unusually rational phantom. And don't forget the Hungering Phantom, relying on stolen emotion to sustain itself and equipped with a terrible bite.

Explore little-known emotional foci, such as Loneliness, Ennui, Inquisitiveness, Paranoia, Nostalgia, and of course, sheer Bloody-Mindedness. Existing feats and spells have been expanded to cover these new options.

The book includes feats dedicated to specific emotional foci, as well as the quintessentialist and zeitgeist binder.

New traits can bolster the onmyoji and phantom blade archetypes, help in maintaining tethers, speed up phantom summoning, heal your phantom more easily, let you craft a variety of thematic items, and more.

In other news, I've added a link on the blog to my stock art wishlist. I don't generally buy art for my supplements because I'm already not making money on them. It's hard to justify it as a pure expenditure that perhaps twenty other people will see. Still, art is nice. If anyone feels like leaving a tip, consider buying me a piece of affordable stock art to use in beautifying my work.
