Pfft humans get their own book? :)

Don't forget the Shoanti!

Wow! A book all about h-U-mans? Hmmm...

.-)

Go humans! Rise up and conquer the world!

Oh, right. They already did.

Don't forget the Shoanti!

I'm tempted to have everyone here get tattoos that say that.

I'd have preferred it if the different ethnicities had gotten a book of their own each, but barring that, this will definately do.

I hope that doesn't mean everyone forgot Shoanti in the (new) campaign setting book again.

Half-breed?

Oh, no you di'nt!

Nope. The Shoanti are in the revised book. And even if they weren't there's still a LOT of time to fix things like that for the revised book (which is now not releasing until early next year).

Excellent! Forget anything you hear I said about you.

You realize that would have been 12 different books, yeah? And that at our current rate of 2 or so race books a year, it'd take us 6 years to get them all out?

Lumping them all into one book's the only sane option.

Why start now? ;)

I'm a Wheel of Time fan. Six years waiting for a series to end is nothing. ;)

But yeah, I realise this way is ...smoother. Doesn't I can't dream, though.

At least you are not being "Mean" about it. :)

I hate typing on the ipod. I think I've made more typos in two weeks than I did in the two previois years. Grrrrr

Half-elves and Half-orcs can get some options here. After all, they have some options in their non-human half's Companions as well (Elves of Golarion and Orcs of Golarion).

As far as the Azlanti I thought that they were truy extint or have I missed something? Don't get me wrong, I would love to see them allowed as an "official" subrace. I am just confused as to them being extinct or not.

Or are they? hehe it would be fun to have the option to run them in a game whether they have moved underground, to a remote continent, or another plane. I would love some options with them.

Pure Azlanti, yes. People of Azlanti blood, but with something else mixed in, not so much.

Well, the description has me believe that they (pure blood Azlanti) are being "fleshed out". I mean it may be an interpreation thing but that's how I am reading it.

To add to your comment. Most of us are aware of the mixed blood races (Taldnas, Chelaxians, etc) and that they exist. However, if you look at the description you'll see that Azlanti are listed seperately from one of the mixed races (Taldans). I am not trying to soung mean and if I come off as such then I apologize but I am merely trying to show you how I came to the concusion that I did.

Ya know, there is a difference between being direct descendants and being of mixed blood. We already know about the mixed blood ethnic groups, but maybe there is some old colony or something still out there where they are not mixed but are direct descendants and are pure blood. Maybe they are on another continent or on some previously unexplored island. After all, this book is called Humans of Golarion, not Humans of the Inner Sea. Plus, it comes out after the revised Inner Sea Campaign Guide, so we may get our answers in February and not have to wait til April. :)

Regarding the Azlanti, I suspect they will be like the ones mentioned in the ethnicities sections of the Campaign Setting and the Gazetteer - humans from various parts of the Inner Sea region who claim to be of more or less pure Azlanti descent. But it'd be cool if I'm wrong and we get to see some proper Azlanti.

In the present hardcover Campaign Setting there is a two page spread on Azlanti, which talks about the rare people who are strongly blooded enough to be distinct from the generic slush of the Taldans/Cheliaxians, or at least different enough to claim it. This is what I meant by 'People of Azlanti blood, but with something else mixed in.'

No need to apologize; I can see where the confusion could emerge. I probably should have expanded on my comment more.

It is ageed that, yes the various enticities are mentioned in the Campaign steeting and Gazetteer are "humans from various parts of the Inner Sea region who claim to be of more or less pure Azlanti descent."

I just didn't want to come off as mean, arrogant or anything like that. I wouldn't be disappointed if "Pure" Azlanti aren't given a write-up as a possible PC class because I will get this book regardless. On the other hand, wouldn't be great if Paizo included them? Well, I think that it would be! :-)

Maybe it might turn out that a small enclave of Azlanti are surviving in Tian Xia? They could have had some kind of diplomatic relationship and so an ambassador and staff were left behind. I'd quite like the idea of a little village of Azlanti stubbornly clinging on to their traditions in the middle of Tian Xia. :)

Better yet on a part of Galorian that is "Terra Incognita". I am thinking like a small island nation to the west where a small but viable colony can still exist. However this is all speculation and it could be that it wlll be like it is in the Campaign Setting/Gazetteer. Like I said before, either way I will get this because I am such a Pathfinder 'ho!

Half-breed huh? Do you think they might go beyond the obvious and tell us about Half-Dwarves of Half-Halflings(that was just ridiculous to write).

Half-Halflings

Quarterlings?

That one also sounds pretty ridiculous also. On second though maybe not. They'll probably just go with Tieflings or Aasmir and those ilk.

When they get executed, are they Drawn and Quarterlings?

Ohhhhh, that was bad. I love it!

Seriously, there was a mention of Half-Dwarvws somewhere?

It is highly unlikely that pure Azlanti are extinct. Given migration, travel and planeswalking, it would be extremely unlikely for some calamity or natural event or series of events to wipe them out.

Only a targetted genocide type event would likely do so and there is nothing in pathfinder canon that suggests that.

Because there is no specific mention of pure Azlanti in the current timeline doesn't mean they aren't any.

As to why they might be secretative and yet to be revealed, think about it - you are the last of a handful of pure Azlanti. You don't exactly go about advertising your existance...

No, they're drawn and sixteenthed...

Please balance the splatty crunch with more cultural information. There's so little we actually know about the people of Golarion and so many assumptions people are working off of.

Agreed, though a book of this size probably will leave most people wanting more.

Any chance we will see Half-Giants ??? please...

Hue-mons? Never heard of the race, have they appeared in previous publications? ;p

Truth be told, I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I am eager to see if there might be any new half-breeds(ideally of the most "exotic" race possible), on the other hand it takes a lot for me to find humans interesting in any fantasy setting(any human character I've played has either had a peculiar bloodline, became an undead horror, grafted various limbs and items to themselves, or were raised in the Cage...berk)

+1! I was going to say...!

Not in a book about humans.

Azlanti? Sure, they're in Golarion. Check out the Bestiary, you'll find them under Morlocks. =)

I'll be interested to see how the canon Azlanti mix with my versions:

it looks like I misunderstood you in thinking that someone mentioned that Half-Dwarves will be in their.

So I went through the 47 posts and didn't see it asked.

but the mumbo jumbo says half breeds?

do the aasimar and tiefling count as half breeds or will they get their own book?

Native Planars of Golarion does not have a good ring to it...

Aasimar and tieflings aren't even humanoids. They won't be in the book. (Most of it is spent talking about the 100% human races, i.e. Garundi, Ulfen, etc.).

they are tooo, planar humanoids they are still humanoids.....

well I guess I won't be getting this book right away then.......

good thing too, as it was a toss up between this one and another paizo book...
