Author’s Preface
You need to look no further for fantasy than your own back
yard. Microsized Adventures was born from a concoction of many
classic movies and stories that I grew up with that involved
the heroes being diminished to an insignificant stature, then
forcing them to search for a way to return to normalcy. Size
changes aren’t touched on much in the Pathfinder Roleplaying
Game, and so I wrote Microsized Adventures to show GMs
and PCs alike how much size can matter when it comes to
adventure. Especially when you’re small enough to be crushed
by a toddler. I hope you enjoy Microsized Adventures and all of
the fantastic moments that it is sure to bring you around the
gaming table.

Table of Contents
The following sections appear in Microsized Adventures.
Rules and Systems: Microsized Adventures opens with a
detailed section on the rules and systems necessary to take
the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and adjust its scale in order to
create a microsized adventure.
Microsized Characters (Pgs. 6–11): The first section in Rules
and Systems describes the modifications that must be made
to transform Ordinary-Sized Creatures into Microsized
ple
Characters. It features a step-by-step process for adjusting
a character’s size, skill modifiers, equipment, and more. It
also includes a number of additional rules, such as rules for
m
exceptionally tiny creatures and a description of how falling
damage functions against Microsized Characters.
Sa
Ordinary-Sized Creatures (Pgs. 12–15): This section details
which alterations must be made to Ordinary-Sized Creatures
before they can square off against Microsized Characters.
Microsized Combat (Pgs. 16–23): The heart of the Pathfinder
Roleplaying Game changes drastically when its heroes become
Microsized Characters, and this section provides many
different rules and modifications that allow combat to be
conducted at a reduced scale. Many of these rules also
strengthen Ordinary-Sized Creatures against Microsized
Characters, while others provide tactics that characters may
wish to use regardless of size (such as the new crush and scale
combat maneuvers).
Improvising Items (Pgs. 24–25): Although not exclusive to a
microsized adventure, characters that find themselves shrunk
must often improvise everything from weapons to armor, and
even basic necessities like clothing. This section provides rules
that PCs of any size can use to improvise the gear they need,
whenever they need it most.
Microsized Adventures (Pgs. 26–31): Borrowing its title
from the book itself, this section is a study of the narrative
structure of the microsized adventure. It includes an analysis
of the adventure’s three most basic components—its catalyst,
adventure, and solution—as well as examples of each and
suggestions for how to build the adventure’s setting and

populate it with denizens and monsters alike. A sample
adventure outline is also provided at the end of this section to
help GMs in planning their own microsized adventures.
Macrosized Characters (Pgs. 32–35): Although it may seem
out of place in a book titled Microsized Adventures, the rules
file
for creating Microsized Characters can be easily reversed
to instead enlarge creatures to titanic proportions, creating
Macrosized Characters. Although the rules are similar to those
outlined in the Microsized Characters section, this section
features a step-by-step process for adjusting a character’s
size, skill modifiers, equipment, and more. It also includes a
number of additional rules that, while especially thematic for
Macrosized Characters, may also be employed by Ordinary-
Sized Creatures against Microsized Characters.
Character Options:This section includes new archetypes
and class options, new feats, and a selection of new magic
items, many of which can be used regardless of whether or
not the adventure is a microsized adventure.
Archetypes and Options (Pgs. 38–41): This section includes
a number of new archetypes and class options that focus
on utilizing the new combat maneuvers introduced in the
Microsized Combat section in this book, as well as archetypes
designed around altering the character’s size and fighting
opponents larger than it. In the unique case of the gunslinger,
the crack shot slinger archetype allows players who want the
grit mechanic to use the gunslinger class without needing to
be tied down by expensive firearms that need rare materials
to craft and maintain.
Microsized Feats (Pgs 42–45): This section includes a number
of new feats that allow characters to obtain new and exciting
tricks and techniques that will help them survive a microsized
encounter or literally crush drastically diminished PCs
beneath the soles of their feet.
Magic Items and Artifacts (Pgs. 46–49): Microsized Adventures
ends with a number of new artifacts, cursed items, and
intelligent items whose powers are designed to serve as either
catalyst or solution to a microsized adventure.

Rules and Systems
“Of all the luck!” Kyr’shin exclaimed as

he dove under his end table, spying the

missing top to his teapot that Danshi had

misplaced the night before. Normally,

Kyr’shin wouldn’t have given the lid

a second thought, but he also wasn’t

normally six inches tall, naked, and

fighting for his life against an unusually

file
persistent serpent. The snake had

spotted Kyr’shin roughly a half hour after

ple

he had managed to evade capture by

m

the witches who shrank him, and chased

Sa

him all the way back to his home. It was

all Kyr’shin could do to outmaneuver the

snake at his current size.

Now, however, the tide had turned.

Clutching the teapot lid like a shield

against his diminished frame and

brandishing a nearby sewing needle

like a sword, he stood his ground as the

serpent sped towards him, fangs bared.

“I have dueled dragons and lived,”

Kyr’shin spat. “No matter my size, you

are no dragon.”
