In the spirit of videogames, and in celebration of my 100th blogpost (last week's April Fool's post), I decided to make 100 unlockable achievements for your game of Pathfinder (or D&D 3.5, or whatever). Well, that's what I set out to do, but because I'm bad at counting I accidentally made 106, so enjoy!
The achievements have a suggested XP value for unlocking them, but the whole thing is totally subject to GM's discretion of course. They cover all sorts of topics, from kill-counts to alignment shifts to magic item creation to critical fumbles. Some of my favorites are based on actual events that have happened in my games, like Meat Comet, which commemorates the time a flind was wrestling with the sorcerer Azanazius atop a wooden grate and the rogue Mr. Noir jumped down from the wall of the ruined castle, crushing the flind and sending all three tumbling through the shattered grate into the prison pit below.
Without further ado, here are 106 achievements for your game. If you unlock all of them, well, then you've obviously cheated. But good job nonetheless.
