P6 Codex is an implementation of Ryan Stoughton's E6: The Game Inside the World's Most Popular Roleplaying Game for Paizo's Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

This Project is Dormant. If you have an interest in advancing it, please contact me at the e-mail address below.

By limiting regular PC and NPC advancement to 6th level (feats are gained after that point) it allows the game to focus on the gritty and heroic stages... without worrying about what the super-heroic arch-mage and fighter a few blocks over are planning. In addition to containing dozens of feats for post-6th level advancement, P6 Codex also carefully selects a subset of the various Advanced and Ultimate options and contains new rules for NPC classes and non-adventuring advancement.

The Abridged P6 Codex All products available on P6Codex.com are free of charge. They are published under Paizo's Community Use Policy and the Open Game License.

The Abridged P6 Codex is currently available in its Beta#2 version. It contains the P6 Codex rules for post 6th level advancement for players just interested in applying P6 to the Core Rulebook (without all of the extras from the non-Core books).

Four ongoing projects are:

  • P6 Codex: Apocrypha, containing abridged rules for the Advanced and Ultimate character classes.
  • The P6 Codex core rules compendium, with all of the core classes including selected options from the supplemental books. (The in progress alpha is available here). Will be continued once the Apocrypha is finished.
  • P6 Codex: Formularie will flesh out selected non-core classes and rules to supplement the core rules.
  • P6 Codex: Unbound will contain some modified classes and rules to supplement the core rules.
