<p><i>Your mastery of an element allows you to channel the true form of that element.</i></p>
<p>Prerequisites Elemental Focus, Greater Elemental Focus, Knowledge (Planes) 13 ranks.</p>
<p>Benefit: Pick one energy type which you have elemental focus and greater elemental focus. Half of the damage from that energy is not subject to being reduced by resistance or immunity.</p>
<p>Rationale:
<br />
The knowledge is to gatekeep the feat to mid to high levels, I mean I doubt getting it at level 3 would be game breaking, but the Winter Witch gets it at level 8 so min level 13. </p>
<p>Maybe knowledge religion instead, since Abadar's vault contains 'perfect copies of everything' it would have the Platonic Form (or Golarion verion) of fire.</p>

Kaijitsu has not yet left town to pursue her destiny (as detailed in the Jade Regent Adventure Path).

<p>Yes, I fear that the Andorans don't see the long view. Too many of their freed slaves are unready for the wide world. No skills except labor, or other, specialized skills. I will confess to having bought my own herald as part of a cover, it is when I earned my commission into the Knights, but I don't know how well she'd do outside of my protection. Still, some people... just shouldn't be trusted to own people.</p>

By all means come join me Miss, Isa is it? And don't let a minor thing like Heritage disuade you from choosing your own path. Is an elf 'overcoming his heritage' when he climbs out of a tree?

What seems to be typically Taldan is crowing about the past, rather than emulating it, I fear.</p>
<p>Taldor once reached across the Inner Sea region, his standards and culture touched everyone in his reach. Taldan knights ruled the battlefield, and his nobles ruled his lands. Looking outward, was Taldan's view. Taldor stood, a giant among men.</p>
<p>Now it seems my ma- <i>mentor's</i> views are true. Even in the heart of Absalom, far from the gilded roads of Oppera, all I hear Taldans speak of is nobles this, nobles that. Matchmaking from an ever smaller pool while dreaming of an ever growing empire. So to answer your question; What is Iconically Taldan? The answer is, it depends. To some of us, being Taldor is expanding and rebuilding the empire as it stood, crushing Qadria under his grace and wisdom. Being again the giants of the world, under a strong queen. To others however, it is to be inward facing, living in past glories... Like ogres.</p>Mayim noods her head slightly, as if acknowleging a touch

<p>You call it evil, I call it self interest. How can I help my allies if I do not have the means? How can I punish those who would hurt others for their own enjoyment without power? I have founded orphanages, saved cities, and helped the poor and downtrodden. Do these acts not meet your definition of ‘good’? To me they are neither ‘good’ nor ‘evil’, they are means to an end. My orphanages teach the children the way to make sure they can take care of themselves. Being a hero of the city allows me access to the doorways of power. And helping the poor and downtrodden? If they can use the means I give to better themselves, they still feel an obligation to me for helping them. If they choose to continue to live in squalor, then they still might serve unsavory uses.</p>
<p>In the end, you will be able to walk safely down my streets, play your little games, give your own wealth to those you feel are less fortunate than yourself, so you may feel better about yourself. But remember, it is ‘evil’ that swept those streets clean. It is ‘evil’ that punishes those who would take advantage of your charity. It is ‘evil’ that allows you those things you want, but would be unable to get. ‘Evil’ is simply getting things done. Evil is having the resolve to making Law work.</p>Let me let my resident Lawful Evil expert have his say.
