Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder Lost Omens: Gods and Magic Review
Hello again my delightful darlings and welcome back to the PAIZO NEWS ROUNDUP! We have another product review for y’all this edition: a deeper look at Pathfinder Lost Omens: Gods and Magic! I was pretty excited to see how this would turn out when it first hit the Roundup Radar a few months ago, so this is a wonderful little treat. Let’s get started!
Right out of the gate, Gods and Magic comes at you hard. If you’re not super familiar with the Golarion pantheon, the first splash art is an EYEFUL. It’s beautiful and evocative and colorful, I just don’t think anyone ever expects to see that particular angle of Lamashtu…ever. To be fair, I don’t think anyone ever expects to see any particular angle of Lamashtu.
The introductory section continues Paizo’s recent tradition of well-crafted introductions to new and multifaceted concepts. There’s a brief rundown of how to incorporate faith into your character’s makeup, and a tasteful section on faith and devotion for even those characters who do not derive power from that devotion.
Divine Intercession sand deific Boons and Curses are given a clear and unambiguous warning to the DM not to just hand them out willy-nilly, but I couldn’t help myself reading through the following sections and automatically thinking how much fun they’d be to have on a character. Which, granted, is kinda the idea with a literal gift from a god, but reading with too much expectation may set players up for disappointment.
Now, on to the core deities! Each core deity is given a two-page spread which includes their most common depiction, their holy symbols, a description of their history and worship, as well as neat little details like sacred animals and sacred colors. What I found most intriguing, however, was the Aphorisms that were found in every sidebar. Each deity has a few sayings or phrases used as oaths or common expressions amongst their faithful. While some are a little corny and some sound a little stiff for everyday use, the aphorisms are a wonderful and unexpected ways to add depth to or reinforce the characterization of your hero.
The minor and other deities are a great place to find some weird and off-the wall deities, and I was pleasantly surprised to see it used as a showcase for how Golarion and Pathfinder as a whole are evolving. Arazni is an odd include in this section – she seems to actively spurn pretty much any kind of worshipper – but she makes sense as she is likely important in recent or upcoming Adventure Paths. The much-maligned Nocticula got the glow-up to end all glow-ups (shame the same can’t be said for Calistria), and there’s even a god in here that is DEFINITELY NOT the moon from Majora’s Mask.
But what of even more esoteric faiths, you ask? Well, the Demigods and Philosophies sections have you covered. These are the only sections where I feel the designers maaaay have been reigned in a bit – the decision was made here to separate their description from the mechanics involved in their worship, and I can’t help but notice that each section of demigods fits neatly onto a two-page spread. Also, when there’s a whole section on Elder Gods and Great Old Ones, there’s a bit of an expectation to see ol’ squid-face, and he is conspicuously absent.
That about does it for this edition of the PAIZO NEWS ROUNDUP! Well, this Paizo Product Review. What kind of gods and deific monsters are you looking forward to in this book? Which ones do you think they’re holding out on?

Reviews for "Mastering Dark Magic: A Guide to the Witch Class in D&D 5e"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Iggwilv the Witch Queen 5e". The storyline had so much potential, but the execution fell flat. The encounters were poorly designed with random difficulty spikes that seemed unfair. Additionally, the puzzles and riddles were far too easy, making me feel like the game was spoon-feeding me the answers. Overall, I didn't find it challenging or engaging, and it left me wanting more.
2. Sarah - 3/5 - While "Iggwilv the Witch Queen 5e" had an interesting premise and beautiful artwork, I felt that the overall gameplay was lacking. The pacing was off, and the transitions between different parts of the game were awkward and disjointed. The mechanics were also poorly explained, and it took a lot of trial and error to understand how to navigate through the story. I wish the game had been more polished and user-friendly, as it had potential to be a great adventure.
3. Mark - 2/5 - "Iggwilv the Witch Queen 5e" fell short of my expectations. The quests were repetitive and lacked diversity, making the game feel monotonous and boring after a while. The lack of character development and meaningful choices also left me feeling disconnected from the story and its outcome. Additionally, the NPCs were underdeveloped, and their interactions felt robotic and uninspiring. Overall, it was a forgettable experience that didn't live up to the hype surrounding it.
