2. the inner life force of a creature

" While monks prefer the term 'ki', destroyers prefer the term 'taijiki' when referring to
one's life force."
INTRODUCTION
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Evil causes pain to taijiki, the life force that flows through all living things in the universe.
Eventually, this triggered a retributive reflex, bringing into existence Bahaurang the Venge-
ful Aspect of the Universe. It constantly searches the universe for perfect candidates—
those who hate evil, cherish law and order, and are willing to fight to make things right—
to turn into agents of its fury. You were chosen.
Destroyers come from all walks of life. The farmer? The traveling merchant? The prince?
The bartender? Evil never knows who you are until you make your move.
In combat, instead of hacking and slashing, or blasting your way through foes, you are a
“rogue” warrior. You rely on perception to discern what foes are going to do, so you can
attack, defend, and move with perfect timing, undoing them with minimal effort. And you
might choose to use devious, taijiki magic to give them bizarre and crippling conditions.
Bahaurang required a simple oath from you: Do not teach the martial arts you were
taught; use your abilities to make the world better. Thus, you are free to engage in many
lifestyles and causes. While some destroyers use this as justification to become tyrants
“for the greater good”, most lead good lives.
Perhaps you’ll settle in a community using your skills to keep it safe. Or, travel the world,
even other planes, in constant search of formidable evil opponents to test your abilities.
Maybe you’ll work solo, or with a party of like-minded heroes to restore law to crime-rid-
den lands, or vanquish monstrosities. Regardless of down what roads you choose to walk,
you’ll arrive at the same destination: adventure.

INTRODUCTION
“The mannerisms, and gestures a creature uses in combat are a type of language—a body
language—that if you can read it, will tell you everything he’s going to do. I taught you the
fundamentals of how to do that. It’s up to you to become better at it. But it will take dedica-
tion. For while body language is universal, each creature has its own dialect. If you become
legendary at it, there will be no evil that can escape destruction by your hands.”

THE UNIVERSE IS ANGRY.
Evil causes pain to taijiki, the life force that flows through
all living things in the universe.
YOU ARE ITS WEAPON.

Destroyers are warriors hand-picked by the universe
itself to purge it of evil.
This 25-page guide contains everything you need to play as the universe's agent of fury, from levels 1
to 20, in Pathfinder Second Edition. Includes 87 feats to customize your destroyer, as well as multiclass
feats for characters of other classes who answer the call to serve the universe.
Instead of hacking and slashing, or blasting its way through foes, the destroyer is a “rogue” warrior.
It relies on perception to discern what foes are going to do, so it can attack, defend, and move with
perfect timing, undoing them with minimal effort. And some use devious, taijiki magic to cripple,
and steal their life force.
The destroyer class introduces new ways to fight evil:

• Sense Intention Use your taijiki-enhanced senses in combat to detect when your enemies are
going to attack, and when openings will appear in their defenses, improving your attacks and de-
fenses. As you level up, choose to learn advanced techniques from tons of feats, that let you pull
off amazing stunts of timing such as redirecting, or negating attacks, and backlashing spells.
• Fumbler's Gift Respond with punishing counterattacks, or prevent them from regaining their
balance, when your enemies make critical misses.
• Taijiki Spells Wreak havoc on the taijiki flowing through your enemies causing bizarre and crip-
pling, physiological conditions. And manipulate your own to gain extraordinary abilities.
"The mannerisms, and gestures a creature uses in combat are a type of language—a body language—that if you
can read it, will tell you everything he’s going to do. I taught you the fundamentals of how to do that. It’s up to
you to become better at it. But it will take dedication. For while body language is universal, each creature has its
own dialect. If you become legendary at it, there will be no evil that can escape destruction by your hands.”
—Bahaurang, Vengeful Aspect of the Universe, and Grandmaster of Destroyers
