I can really relate to you feelings about 'toxic masculinity environment'. Something that made me feel out of place growing up and something I've only truly come to terms with after turning 30.

I agree that there is a need for more female and minority characters in fiction, but don't you think it would a good thing to show male characters, who showcase a different kind of masculinity?
I work with children and try to be a different male role model, than what is seen in a lot of fiction.

I've always thought the Paizo boards were very nice, especially compared to the rest of the internet, but maybe I've not been looking in the right (well wrong) places?

Almost forgot my players read the thread occasionally

Spoiler:
I'm intrigued at your idea to try give the players an opportunity to redeem Nualia. I thought that she was too far gone now: After she fled Thistletop she went to Ironbriar who sent her to Xanesha, who eventually sent her to Lucrecia, who gave her a contingent of ogres. Nualia took them on a killing/burning spree and became a half-fiend.
Lamashtu didn't remove her "curse of beauty" though (because Nualia had failed the first time around).
But despite Lamashtu's aid and her new half-fiend powers, Nualia was defeated again, and Sandpoint was saved from the fire.
I guess that could make her start doubting the goddess' power?

I think at least she'll doubt her allies, who care little for her goals, and have only used her as a pawn.

Is there a way to undo the half-fiend transformation? Even if they push her to Chaotic Neutral, she'd still be a half-fiend.
Perhaps something with the Runeforge could help?

Any insight is very much appreciated :-)


Showing male characters in roles other than toxic masculine roles is absolutely important, but it's not NEARLY as important as diversification and making the game welcoming to ALL types, not just white men. In fact, by giving more attention to women or by shaking up the expectation that every character in a fantasy setting is a white dude we DO work against the whole toxic masculinity problem, and in a much more productive and healthy way than devoting yet more space to white male characters.

And I agree that the Paizo boards are a nice and welcoming place compared to much of the rest of the internet, but they're not as nice and welcoming as they have been traditionally. That's an unfortunate side effect of Pathfinder's increasing popularity, and we see a spike of trolling and toxic behavior whenever we do something to significantly increase our visibility in the entertainment industry. So, every one here who can help keep these boards friendly and welcoming is worth their weight in platinum.

As for the spoiler topic...

Spoiler:
Nualia isn't too far gone. After all... we've done redemption arcs for full-on succubi, and have a redemption arc in process for a demon lord, so there's still PLENTY of hope left for Nualia... provided she gets some positive relationship energy rather than just more doses of negativity. Doubting Lamashtu's power is the road to failure and an eternity tormented in the Abyss... it is NOT in and of itself a road to redemption.

There's absolutely methods to undo the half-fiend transformation, but just as that process is a specific ritual, the reversal should be a complex ritual or adventure-based mission as well. And then again, she can be redeemed without being un-fiended as well, but that's probably tougher. Tying her redemption to later events in Runelords is an interesting idea—and in fact tying it to elements of virtues in Runeforge is a great climax to such a goal, assuming she teams up with the PCs a few adventures before then to start that long walk.

Being a game where the PCs are the stars, though, it really should be a PC who starts her on that path by either granting her mercy after she's defeated in battle or otherwise making a personal sacrifice or great step of trust in her.

James,

what is out there east of Taldor? Is it a nation we've heard of?

East of Taldor is the continent of Casmaron. The region JUST east of Taldor hasn't yet been nailed down though. It's likely to be a remote part of Kelesh though, or more likely the Windswept Wastes or another hard-to-navigate region... but again... it's not yet set in stone.

What would Gorum's thoughts on the chain sword as a weapon of war? I'm not asking if he'd accept it as a favored weapon substitute, but would he look down on it's use?
My warpriest has taken the EWP and Weapon Focus for it to be useable as a sacred weapon mechanically, just curious what you'd think Gorum would think :)

Gorum and his faith would absolutely embrace a chainsaw as a weapon of war. In fact, Gorum and the faith do not look down on ANY weapon. He has a single favored weapon, yes, but he's also SPECIFICALLY the god of weapons. As such, any weapon is sacred to him and a viable tool for his faithful. It's no different than Gozereh's faith embracing all forms of nature, or Desna's faith embracing all forms of dreams, or Shelyn's faith embracing all forms of art. Urgathoa doesn't force her clerics to ONLY use the plague in their disease-spreading plots, and Cayden Cailean's faith approves of white wine and red wine and all the rest. Likewise, Gorum's faithful are cool with ANY weapon someone might wish to use.

I know what bronies are.

I think that they're admirable and brave in embracing their fandom—a fandom that often gets them ridiculed, but they remain fans in the face of that ridicule. And I've yet to see a bronie lash out against My Little Pony in the way that, say, fans of Game of Thrones lash out at George R. R. Martin, or fans of Star Wars lash out at the idea of a female lead in a movie, or fans of Pathfinder lashing out at us fixing a broken rule. Maybe it's because I'm not that deeply involved in My Little Pony—maybe there ARE bronies who are toxic to their own fandom—but that's not my perception.

Anyway. My Little Pony isn't my thing, but more power to the bronies for finding something they love. We should all be so lucky, and we should all be so willing to be ourselves. Same goes for ANY fandom or religion or culture or society. It's a hard ideal to live up to—being accepting of all sorts of different interests, and its certainly something even that we here at Paizo need to keep working on. We're getting there, though, thankfully!

Thanks James! Exactly what I thought.

Thanks for creating these awesome gods as well. It's been a lot of fun so far, playing a person of faith in your sandbox :)

Keeping on topic with Gorum for a bit, in his write up in Inner Sea Gods, it seems that he is more about fighting or battle itself, than the cause that the fight or battle is being fought for. Aside from cowardice, are there any tactics he would find reprehensible? He is CN, so I'd imagine anything overtly evil may be out, but in the heat of battle, is anything out of bounds to Gorum?

Tactics that endorse and promote peace and cooperation between enemies are not beloved by Gorum. He's also not a fan of mindless murder or bullying—to Gorum and his faithful, the person who runs away from a battle out of fear is just as much a coward as the high-level assassin who sneaks into a king's bedroom while he sleeps to kill him with a knife while he's out cold. Poison's a complicated example; his faith is fine with the use of poison on weapons, but not as a REPLACEMENT to weaponplay. Poisoning an arrow or dagger that you then use to nick a foe when not in battle is cowardly. Challenging that foe to battle and then sticking him with a poison blade on round 1 is not cowardly.


Looking at your recent post, I had an idea.

Would a group of Desnan faithful who venture into the Dreamscape to hunt down and banish nightmares be considered heretical, as her faithful are supposed to embrace all dreams? I'm sorry, it's just reading that gave me a GREAT concept for a campaign wherein the PCs do exactly that.

Not heretical at all. I could see Desnans getting into exploring dreams and fighting nightmares like that.

You can embrace all dreams while still understanding that some dreams are bad and need to be fought against, in the same way you can be a champion of diversity and inclusivity but still fight against organizations or beliefs that threaten diversity—doing so doesn't make you a traitor to your beliefs, but a defender of them.

I meant

A) you are working on a specific adventure, but it is unannounced so you can't give any specifics.
VS.
B) you aren't working on any specific adventure ATM (excluding "a history of ashes") but you work at a gaming Co, so that could change in the near future.

That's a really inspiring way to look at the group. I'm not part of their fandom either, but I found your commentary to be refreshing amidst a culture that seems to embrace the idea of, "If its not for me, it must be bad and the people who like it must be weirdos that I should ridicule."

+1 for James Jacobs!


James, you're pretty much the only Paizo staff member that I can find that's made any reference to deep water pressure damage in my search of the forum (this is searching "water pressure damage" under "Everything" of the Paizo site) so I hope I can trouble you with a quick question:

Are objects and constructs susceptible to underwater pressure damage? Constructs are immune to any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless the effect also works on objects, and the deep water pressure rules only say "creature" and "diver" and doesn't specify object (like effects setting objects on fire would), but I figured I'd maybe check with you for your input?

Sorry if this is against the spirit of the "Ask *James Jacobs* ALL your Questions Here!" thread if we're supposed to keep rules stuff outside of it.

Sorry if this is against the spirit of the "Ask *James Jacobs* ALL your Questions Here!" thread if we're supposed to keep rules stuff outside of it.

I'd say that as a general rule, objects (and thus constructs) are not subject to pressure damage. I'd go further to say that incorporeal creatures or most undead would be immune as well. I'd ACTUALLY like to classify pressure damage as "bludgeoning damage that affects living creatures or objects with enclosed hollow spaces." But in the interim, it's best to simply use common sense on a case by case basis. After all, it's not like we made up the concept of pressure damage from deep water. It's a real-world thing. A rock dropped into the ocean won't get crushed. And there's plenty of real-world examples of deep-sea robots that work down there—so constructs being immune to it is neat too. And furthermore, the idea that a zombie or other undead could just walk down to the bottom of the ocean and not worry too much about it makes undead more interesting as well.

I'd make up an entirely new drake if it were me, rather than retrofit one. But that'd be starting from ground zero. And THAT said, I'm not really a fan of every terrain getting its own drake. How about just using a forest drake that wandered out of the woods, maybe with a simple template on it? If you wanna throw off the players, describe it as being light green in color and with fire that's also green... cosmetic monster changes go a long way with players!

I just saw it this weekend.

I LIKED: That it's an R-rated horror movie that isn't all gore that still made a huge pile of money, which means that studios will continue to release more and more horror movies, which means that even if most of them are no good, there'll still be more good ones overall.

I DID NOT LIKE: The noisy audience.

OVERALL: It was mostly underwhelming and disappointing to me. Not TERRIBLE but not spectacular, like the first one.

What was underwhelming was it seemed to rely more on jump scares than dread. And the general storyline was less interesting than the first one, perhaps because I was more familiar with Amityville and Einfield than with the cases in the first movie. And beyond that, knowing that Amityville was a hoax and other information about the Warrens in real life kinda tainted the depiction of them as heroes a little. I did very much like the actual direction of the movie though, and the design of the you-know-what at the end was great. And I did like the twist about the ghost's reason for haunting, but wish it had explored that more. Also it felt like the characters made less logical choices in this movie than in the first one, which was distracting and annoying.

Hey James, got a question regarding the black blade magus.
"Languages and Skills: A black blade starts with Common as a language."
"Telepathy (Su): While a magus is wielding or carrying his black blade, he can communicate telepathically with the blade in a language that the magus and the black blade share."
What happens when a black blade and the magus don't share languages, or at least don't both have Common as a base language? It's rare, but there are races that don't get Common as a standard known language. Does the black blade just happen to know a different language instead?

1) If you could transform to and from the form of a single humanoid creature within one size category of your own - sex, race, and general appearance up to you so long as it fits within the norms of that race, though you still can't choose to be identical to an existing individual - what form would you choose? Elf? Female version of yourself? Giant? Merfolk? Mostly otherwise works as Change Shape.

2) The same question as above, but a single monstrous humanoid creature within on size category of your own...what would you pick?

3) And the same question as above, but a single animal within one size category of your own...what would you pick?

4) And finally, if you had the opportunity to pick one of the above three shapes as being one you could freely transform to and from, but only one, which one would you pick?

It'd vary wildly; there are dozens of them, after all, and they're not all the same. The one constant would be that they'd do so without being evil about it. Ragathiel's faith, being a more military type of deity, probably gathers new people by showing their prowess and goodness on the battlefield or in times of war.

Nope.

Your options are:

1 full round action and 1 swift action, or

1 standard action and one move action and 1 swift action, or

2 move actions and 1 swift action.

You can NEVER take more than 1 swift action in a round, and remember that an immediate action counts as a swift action.
