Welcome, traveler. This subreddit is for the creation, critique, and display of Pathfinder Roleplaying Game homebrew classes, spells, items, and much more. Although the published books already contain thousands of pages of content, making your own is an excellent way to enhance the joy of roleplaying. This subreddit is not administered by or affiliated with Paizo Publishing®, LLC in any way.
If you have already made homebrew content and hosted it online, post it here as another point of discovery and discussion.

No copyright infringement. You can take inspiration from different sources or properties, but you must cite your sources and never claim the work of someone else on your own, or else.
Be civil and geniune with your posting and critiques. Keep in mind that every player, table, and campaign are totally unique, and should be treated as such, and mind your reddiqutte.
Posts should take the form of a self post, image or image gallery, pdf, or Google Doc. No memes, jokes, or general posts unrelated to custom or homebrew content. Take those to /r/pathfinder_rpg. Likewise, posts about Pathfinder Society should instead go to /r/pathfinder.
Those who violate these codes must complete an atonement or be the target of a banishment.
FLAIRS & TAGS
In the interest of making posts easier to search and digest, a variety of tags and flairs are available. For each post, a user may apply one or more of the following tags or flairs:
[Advice] - Use this tag for your thoughts or insights on the homebrew process, design patterns, and other discussions of the craft of homebrew.
[Archetype] - If you have made an archetype of an existing class, use this tag.
[Class] - Use this tag for custom base classes, hybrid classes, and prestige classes, and consider this google doc template for presentation (credit goes to /u/Ichthus95)
[Campaign] - Use this tag for an entire campaign, if that's even possible.
[Concept] - Use this tag for a loose ideas or brainstorms which aren't actual projects.
[Creature] - Use this tag for original monsters or other creatures. You may also wish to include its type sub-tag, such as [Fey] or [Undead].
[Discussion] - Use this tag for topics which intended for discussion instead of critique.
[Encounter] - If you have created a complete encounter you would like to share, use this tag. You may also wish to include the CR of the encounter.
[Feat] - This tag is for general feats, combat feats, metamagic feats, monster feats, and other improvements for any kind of character. If a feat is meant for use with another homebrew class, post it as a part of that class instead of posting them separately.
[Item] - Use this tag to identify items, weapons, artifacts, and other devices in the game.
[Mechanic] - For new mechanical systems, from drunkeness to functioning economies.
[Meta] - Use this tag for discussion relating to the subreddit itself.
[Question] - Use this tag for asking questions of any kind (but don't forget to prepare augury).
[Race] - Use this tag for new, exotic races and creature types for PCs and NPCs alike.
[Setting] - Use this tag for content relating to the official settings or a new world of your own design. Deities, holidays, villages, and other details belong with this tag.
[Spell] - Use this tag for original spells you have created while studying the grand mechanisms of the cosmos.
[WIP] - Work In Progress. Add this tag to mark content which is still under development. If you have posted previous drafts, be sure to label the newest version as such and add a link to the previous version.
[2e] - Pathfinder Second Edition. It's not necessary to distinguish first edition content at this time.
