<p>They are pretty much starting from scratch, compared to entire articles worth of text on nobodies like Zuggtmoy, so it's probably for the best that they start small, and grow the notion more organically, than just pump out a bunch of stuff on Agathion or Azata, for instance, about which we know shockingly little, or Garuda and Peri, about which we know even less!</p>
<p>With names like 'planeter' and 'solar,' it leaves me wondering if there are angels named after other celestial bodies, like size and shape-changing Lunars or vast quasi-corporeal Nebulars or portentous doom-heralding fiery-trailing Cometars, or, Kirby forfend, purple-armored planet-cleansing Galactars. Are armies of angels called 'constellations,' and can they array themselves precisely to form vast glyph-like forms mimicing astrological formations that enact mythic ritual effects, so long as they remain 'in formation,' becoming 'constellations' not only in name, but in fact?</p>
<p>I do hope that some of the evocative names from the Bestiary (p. 18 and p. 23) get a callback. Cocidius the Hawk-Keeper, Ogoun of Fire and Iron, Cernunnos the Stag Lord and Muyingwa the Seed Thrower (a Mwangi angel? Woo!) all sound super cool.</p>

My wife loves playing that kind of bizarre crap and it just doesn't work out in practical terms.</p>
<p>For instance, the ghaele eladrin monster class from Savage Species. At 7th level that thing can become an incorporeal globe of color. Incorporeal! At 7th level! But...around that time a serious HD deficit starts to set in too. At 20th level the ghaele eladrin monster class character only has 10 HD. Say goodbye the first time a 20th level caster uses 3.5 <i>blasphemy</i>.</p>
<p>No thank you to that crap. And thanks to Paizo for getting rid of it.</p>I for one am relieved that we won't be seeing a Savage Species style monstrous classes treatment included. My wife loves playing that kind of bizarre crap and it just doesn't work out in practical terms.

<p>The Bible says, "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" in the Book of Romans. All. Everyone.</p>
<p>Biblically, one isn't condemned to hell for being gay anymore than one is condemned to hell for murder or covetousness. It is for falling short of God's glory in whatever form.</p>
<p>Which is why the Bible teaches Jesus offered himself as our substitution.</p>
<p>Not trying to preach, but folks who single out homosexuality and focus on it and crusade against it are really losing track of the bigger picture and probably not looking closely enough at themselves (i.e; "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and no stones got thrown that day).</p>Edit: replying to Gentlegiant
