Pathfinder Skill Tree
by Rabenwacht
Pathfinder Skill Tree adds a 20-level skill progression to Magic play, with attribute choices that let each character shape a build over time.
What it does
Characters advance through 20 levels, and the mod draws its progression from the Pathfinder-inspired skill tree design and a Wrath of the Righteous style experience curve, so reaching the top takes sustained play. Attribute choices come every four levels, starting at level 1, and each level-up gives a noticeable boost to the character's power.
The skill tree builds on Pufferfish Skills and Pufferfish's Attributes for the stat system, and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks supplies the spell side of the magic theme. All three must be installed alongside the mod. The server is the required side; a client may run the mod too, but players can join without it.
Builds exist for NeoForge only, for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 0.3.0+mod for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The mod is also available as a data pack, and it is released under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Twenty levels of progression
Each character works through 20 levels, with each level adding to the skill tree's options.
Attribute choices every four levels
Attribute picks arrive at level 1 and then every four levels, shaping which stats a character develops.
Wrath of the Righteous experience curve
The experience requirement rises steeply, so higher levels demand long play rather than quick grinding.
Pathfinder-inspired skill tree
The tree layout and progression are modeled on the Pathfinder tabletop system, giving a familiar structure to players of that game.
