I myself was thinking of doing something similar, though more setting focused then toolkit. It's more of a 'lovecraft meets fallout' thing set in Ontario. I already have material written, and if you're looking for a freelancer, my schedule is open.

(And yes I do have a publishing credit)


Aklo (which I'm not sure if you wanted), in my opinion, would be filled with lots of soft sibilant sounds (try saying that several times fast), seeing as it was the primary language of the serpentfolk. Although it says they were 'early adopters' of the language, and thus did not create it themselves, after several hundred millennia of speaking it they would have made it their own.

Personally I DESPISE the whole 'drunken, axe-wielding, belligerent, scottish moron who butchers the english language to the point where you only understand one word per sentence' stereotype dwarves seem to have acquired. I prefer them closer to the original Norse myth.


There is also the witch's blight hex in the Advanced Player's Guide.

I know they're not a PC race, but Serpentfolk, Serpentfolk, Serpentfolk. They are my favourite thing about Golarion, they're like mind flayers only without the squid faces. My GM is letting me play a serpentfolk wizard in an upcoming game, and I'm really looking forward to it.

After those cool snake men, my favourite would be dwarves. Something about them just speaks to me on a personal level, and I think they're woefully under-appreciated.

As for classes, it's probably cliche, but wizards. I just like the idea of a supremely intelligent scholar. I am also fond of sorcerers, especially their spontaneous casting. That and arcane casters get the coolest homes. Towers that defy logic and pocket dimensions, you gotta admit that's cool.


Well I guess I'll have to go with a Tarnished Silver then. If you're wondering what for, my GM is possibly letting me be a dragon, and since our party right now is one of those 'Let's be evil so we can do crazy stupid stuff for no reason!' kind of parties, I'll have to be at least neutral.


Well I was thinking more along the lines of a Chromatic. And I looked at the Gold and Silvers change shape ability, it doesn't say it has an indefinite duration, and it says it functions as polymorph, which has a 1 minute per caster level duration, so I'm back in the same boat.


I'm not sure if this should go under advice or rules questions, but here it is:

In numerous books, games and settings, Dragons walk amongst mortals in disguise, appearing as the same person and often spending years as humanoids without being discovered. Yet, as far as I can tell, there is no way to do this from a rules standpoint. Alter Self only lasts 1 minute per level, and shapechange isn't much better. There's also no magic item that can do this. The only thing that comes close is a hat of disguise, which although can make a dragon look like a human, anyone interacting with them can obviously tell they're not.

So my question is, how can a dragon reliably disguise oneself as a humanoid?


I'm glad you're doing so well Creighton, it was terrific working with you! I look forward to many more great products (and seeing my name on a credits page, haha). I hope Raging Swan has more success and luck then a Xorn in Fort Knox!

Good Luck, eh!
