This recently came up over on the rules forums, so I thought I'd ask James' opinion over here.
James: When a spell has a particular area of effect, or specifies a range 'tying' two targets together, when is that range measured - is it checked constantly throughout the round, or only at the end of the turn after everyone's movement is complete?
Two examples:
1. Invisibility Sphere states that any creature within a 10-foot radius of the caster at the time of casting is invisible. It also states that if someone who is invisible due to the sphere leaves that area, the spell effect ends. Does this 'check' occur at the end of the round (after both caster and subject have moved), or is it a constant check, meaning that the spell ends instantly if the subject moves more than 10 feet from the caster?
Shield Other says that if the caster and the target move out of range (25' + 5' per caster level) the effect ends. Is this checked at the end of the round (after both party's movements) or is it checked constantly?
James,
What is your favorite Mythic spell?

Is allowing players and npcs to add nexavar to bronze to overcome cold iron damage reduction something interesting?
How long have the properties of Nexavar been known?
Since Nexavar makes a blueish metal is allowing it to make a blue glass a good idea?
Actually... nexavar is no longer part of Golarion. (I felt it was a far too convenient and kind of lazy way to explain why the Worldwound hasn't expanded, and also sort of undermined the accomplishment of the Iomedan crusade as a result, and so it's been removed from the world as of Inner Sea World Guide.)
Since nexavar is not part of Golarion anymore... I don't really have much else to say about it—if you want to keep its presence in your version of Golarion, though, that's fine! :-)
So...
A PFS boon came out at Gen Con 2013 that involved characters receiving weapons made of Nexavarian Steel. I know that the novella "Certainty" came out in 2010 and you made the above comment in 2012, but with the focus the Worldwound is getting with Wrath of the Righteous and PFS Season 5...has something changed regarding Nexavarian Steel / Nexavar?
Thanks!

Regarding the Horsemen, Charon and Apollyon I know of where their names come from. Trel and Szuriel not so much, care to shed some light on how those names were found or formed?
I believe Todd made up Trel's name, and I want to say Szuriel is from mythology... this is more a Wes question, to be honest.

If you care to, take a short look at what I wrought and say if you think yours would look so differently.
Of course I'll perfectly understand if you don't have the time/don't care/can't look because it's like fan-fiction/other reasons. Take your pick :p
I try to avoid reading/commenting/providing feedback on stuff like this for time management and legal reasons... sorry!

While I dissagree with your view on alignement, I am curious about another thing or two.
can clerics and other similar divine casters recieve power from gods unknowingly? Similar to how the dark powers can function on ravenloft if you are familar with that.
-vyshan
On Golarion? Yes, although it's really rare, and generally only happens to clerics who have low Int, Wis, and/or Cha scores. For other divine casters it's perhaps more common.

1) I was looking at the lyrakien entry on the Pathfinder wiki, and it references the Skinsaw Murders book, where they're explicitly linked to Desna and only serve the familiars of worshipers of Desna. Given that was back in the 3.5 era, I was wondering, would you still consider that canonical for the Golarion setting?
2) Do you personally think that non-animal improved familiars should have their intelligence lowered by becoming a familiar if the intelligence a familiar gets would be lower than their normal intelligence?
3) If you could acquire a familiar or an improved familiar in real life somehow, whether a regular familiar or an improved familiar, what familiar would you pick? I'm guessing either a compsognathus or a quasit myself, but I could be wrong!
1) Still canonical. Lyrakien are closely tied to Desna's faith.
2) Nope. An improved familiar's Int score should be what it normally is for one of its kind.
3) Cat, if we're limited to real-world critters. But if anything is possible... dimorphodon or pseudodragon!

For the incoming Worldwound-based campaign, I was considering a cleric + divine scion character.
Reading the description I've now a doubt that maybe you can resolve: in the Divine Wrath power it states that "damaging spells deal +1 point of damage per die against creatures with an alignment subtype that matches the divine scion’s opposition alignment".
If I interpret this correctly, the power should them only work on creatures that have the specific subtype evil, or good, or whatever, so almost exclusively outsiders, not on all creatures of that alignment, like for example characters or humanoid NPC.
In fact, according to the description of the subtypes, it would affect such a creature even if its alignment were different from the subtype.On the other hand, later, in the True Scion capstone power, the language is different, stating "Her divine wrath ability now deals +2 points of damage per die against creatures of the appropriate alignment.".
So, the intended Divine Wrath effect is:
a) It only ever affect creatures of the subtype <alignment>
b) It affect all creatures with <alignment>
c) It affect both creatures of subtype <alignment> and simply <alignment>
d) At 4th level it affect creatures of the subtype <alignment>, but at 10th level it affect all <alignment> creatures too.
"Creatures with an alignment subtype that matches the divine scion's opposition alignment" does indeed limit the effect to creatures of that subtype. So... "A".

I liked in 2E how green dragons had a poison breath weapon, and I'm trying to think of how to handle that in Pathfinder. Do you think 1 point of Constitution damage per age category, requiring a Ref save for half, is too much/appropriate?
I wouldn't make it a Reflex save. I'd make it a Fort save, since poison works off Fortitude most often. And compare to the strength draining breath weapon of the umbral dragon.
Poison is a MUCH more dangerous weapon than mere damage, though... especially on a breath weapon the dragon can use every 1d4 rounds.

I was wondering did you use monster hunter as inspiration for dragon hunter's guide with dragon's demand module? :O
& could dragon harvesting from drhg be used as template for other monstrous creatures too?
I didn't work on the Dragon Hunter's Guide, but I'm pretty sure the writers of that book used other inspirations. Harvesting monster parts is nothing new to the game.

James, I have some questions about the iconics I hope you could answer.
1. Does Seltyiel have a gigantic Berserk Button against people who abuse their children and spouses?
2. Is the background for Balthazar, the iconic Summoner still being worked on?
3. Which Iconics would you consider to be Combat Pragmatists?
4. Would you consider Alain different from other arrogant, glory-seeking blowhards due to the fact that he can actually fight? ;)
1) Nope.
2) Yes.
3) Seoni and Sagan for sure.
4) Nope. There's plenty of arrogant, glory-seeking blowhards who can actually fight.

Phew! Still playing catch up and I spy that you beat Demons Souls. So questions!
1. Favorite boss?
2. Favorite area?
3. Did you like The Tower of Hope level?
4. What did you think of the Maiden in Black?
5. The Old One?
6. The "truth" about where arcane and divine magic comes from?
7. How many tries did it take you to kill the Vanguard in the tutorial?
1) The Dragon God; cool non-conventional fight and very cool to watch him do his thing.
2) Hmmm... probably the prison with the mind flayers. Super creepy and scary! The ruined castle on the coastline was neat too, though...
3) Yup!
4) Cool! I liked her accent too!
5) Very impressive and a cool ending that wasn't all about "ONE SUPER TOUGH LAST FIGHT."
6) Ambivilent; didn't really surprise me to any real extent that it made much of an impression, I guess.
7) None. I got killed by him, came back in the Nexus, and didn't mess with him again in the Tutorial ever.

Having now seen the Glabezu pic I was wondering if there would be a story behind that scene? what I mean is do you just ask the artist to draw something or is there a story in mind when you rquest the art?
I assume you're talking about the one where he's showing Lini the nice new snow leopard pelt he made?
No story there. I just wanted to show a demon doing something HORRIBLE to a beloved pet. Because one sure way to make a bad guy even more detestable is to have him kill a beloved pet.

Hi James. I wasn't really thinking I'd like it, but yet again you guys have trumped my expectations with wrath of the righteous. The players guide, world wound book and instalment one have really grabbed my imagination. I love the way the APs are "the same but different" - consistent enough that I know what I'm getting but varied enough to keep me interested month after month.. Thanks!
Excellent!

Is the Mythic Hill Giant based on Antaeus from greek myth? Cuz its Earth Bound power pretty much looks like something the Antaeus would use.
Thanks
I have no idea. That was all Jason, Sean, and Stephen, as far as I know. I had relatively little to do with the design or development of the monster chapter in that book.

Hey James! if you see this while taking a few minutes off at GenCon...can you spill the beans on the new AP Iron Gods (Numeria)for us. We're all dying to hear more about it!
Gen Con's over, and I didn't really have any way to get online during the show. There's probably more beans out there to be seen regarding Iron Gods by now. If folks are still eager to hear more, I'll be talking about it here and there on these boards, but also at the chat tomorrow evening at 8:00 pacific time.

Thumbs up on Iron Gods. When did you guys decide this would be the AP after Mummy's Mask?
I've been wanting to do a Numeria AP for several years now. It was only recently that I was able to convince management that the time was right for it, though, in no small part due to the EXCEPTIONALLY positive reception that "Rasputin Must Die!" got.

I have 2 questions for you, Mr. Jacobs.
1: What's your take on the whole martial vs. spellcaster debate?
2: Can you please make a swashbuckler class? I think many, many people on these boards are itching to play a dashing, agile swordsman.
1) I think that it's a tempest in a teapot. Martials and spellcasters do different things. In games I run or play in, I've not seen any evidence that one class is "better" than the other. It's really the GM's job to make sure ALL the classes represented by his/her players are equally supported by the particular campaign after all.
2) I've wanted a swashbuckler class for a long, long time. I'm not really part of the design team though, so I'm not the one who'd get to make a swashbuckler class. You'll need to talk to Jason and his team.

Does this Iron Gods AP also contain normal monsters or only robots and Iron creatures? Are there creatures from Bestiary 1,2 and 3 in there other than Clockworks and such creatures?
There'll be ALL SORTS of creatures in Iron Gods. Just as Wrath of the Righteous has more than demons, and Skull & Shackles has more than pirates, and Council of Thieves has more than thieves, and Second Darkness has more than drow, Iron gods will have ALL the monster types represented. It won't be Non-Stop science fiction stuff. It's going to be a blend.
Clockworks are unlikely to play any role at all in Iron Gods; they're not robots. Robots are much different than clockworks.

Where can I find this information on Iron Gods?
There's a thread building over in the Adventure Path forum.
I can give you the 6 titles of the adventures:
1: Fires of Creation
2: Lords of Rust
3: The Choking Tower
4: Valley of the Brain Collectors
5: Palace of Fallen Stars
6: The Divinity Drive
The clash of faith vs. science will be a big theme in this AP. Other things that will play roles include artificial intelligences, androids, the Dominion of the Black, the Technic League, and weird aliens.
There's not a lot more to say about it yet though. I'm still outlining it. More info to come!

Beastiary 5 2015 Numeria edition?
just a guess btw
No.
Just because we're doing a Numeria-themed AP doesn't mean every book we do in 2014 or 2015 will be science fiction. In fact, the bulk of our non-AP books during the run of Iron Gods from August 2014 to January 2015 will NOT be Sci-Fi. Golarion remains primarily a fantasy setting.
If the popularity of Iron Gods does something really unexpected... THEN we'll start thinking about doing more. For now, though, it'll be the AP and a few support books and that's pretty much it.

If Arazni is still a demigod, does she have domains and the ability to grant spells? I had thought that after her reanimation as a lich she had lost her divine powers.He was a demigod while "walking Golarion," and that's something that plenty of other demigods (Arazni, Treerazer, Lorthact, Ydersius, etc.) have done and still do.Isn't Ydersius a full deity? I think he's referred to as a demigod a few times in the Serpent's Skull AP, but the Pathfinder Wiki mentions that he offers five or even six domains (Chaos, Evil, Nobility, Scalykind, War, and a notation of Animal as well). Or is the number of domains an error, and he's supposed to only grant four?
And is Arazni still a demigod after what she went through with Tar-Baphon and Geb? Or is she some other sort of mythic individual now in her undead state?
One of them would have been the first defeat of Deskari in Sarkoris a while back, when he drove the demon lord and his armies out of Sarkoris, through Mendev, and into the big lake.The book Liar's Blade talks about how the imprisonment of Kholerus (an extremely powerful nascent demon lord and possibly Deskari's "son") was involved with that defeat of Deskari. Assuming that the various things he did were accomplishing his Mythic "trials" to continue increasing in power, did that play a part in the overall trial?
Will anything in Wrath of the Righteous mention something about Kholerus? Or are there no plans to incorporate it?
Ydersius is a demigod. As is Arazni.
Ydersius should only grant 4 domains.
The events in Liar's Blade do not play a part in Wrath of the Righteous at all.
This will be answered next month in "Mythic Realms." Where we stat Arazni up.

What happens if a ghost gets sent to another plane of existence, and then gets taken out there? Does it re-corporate on the Prime? Does it start re-corporating on the new plane its stranded on?
It revives wherever its focus is at wherever it started out being a ghost. If that is a different plane from where it was when it was destroyed, then yes, it rejuvenates on that other plane.

You sneaky, sneaky, creative dinosaur, you!
I'd be willing to bet a hardcover or two that the Swashbuckler (or some variant thereof) is going to be in the Advanced Class Guide.
How on earth did you perfect such a straight pokerface?
I'm not the one who gets to announce what classes will or won't be in Advanced Class Guide, and so far, Jason's not said yes or no regarding any swashbuckler type classes. You'll have to go ask him to spill those beans.
I hope a LOT of you go ask him.
As for the poker face? Lots of practice. Keeping a poker face about the end of the Magazine license for about a year was really good practice.

1. Does Force of Will come at 6th tier as table 1-1 on p.12 says, or does it come at 7th tier as the description on p.13 says?
2. Could a Thassilonian wizard take Harmonious Mage (Mythic, p.16)?
3. Could a wizard take Many Forms (Mythic, p.18) even if transmutation is a forbidden school for her?
4. Does Shifting Mastery (Mythic, p.17) benefit from Many Forms?
5. Is it possible to create more path abilities or is what's in Mythic Adventures the hard limit?
6. Some spells don't seem to have mythic variants. Was this an intentional choice or simply due to page count?
7. What would mythic variants of fabricate and polymorph any object be like?
8. Since feats and spells outside the Core Rulebook got into Mythic, will you be using them when starting the mythic Runelords?
9. How many tiers will Tar-Baphon have?
10. Any advice on making Kingmaker Mythic? When I read "when NPCs are in the presence of such greatness, they should not waste time asking for trivial favors" I was reminded of all the country bumpkins wanting the ruler to kill animals for them.
1) That's a question for the rules board and a FAQ.
2) Dunno... haven't looked at that yet, but as long as it didn't prevent them from being a Thassilonian specialist and as long as it was in character, sure!
3) That's up to your GM. I'd say sure, but it'd be a poor choice to specialize in an effect you're not supposed to be good at.
4) Dunno. See #1 above.
5) There is no limit to the number of path abilities. We'll be providing more as time goes on... there's several coming out with Golarion specific themes next month.
6) Yes. Intentional choice. Some spells don't currently have mythic versions. Whether or not that stays that way is up to Jason. I suspect they want to keep a tight reign on the mythic spells though. You'd have to ask Jason to be sure.
7) Dunno. Not ready to answer that right now.
8) Depends on how I want to stat them up. Which isn't going to happen for a long time.
9) You'll find out in a month!
10) I wouldn't make Kingmaker mythic. I would play the game normally, then when the campaign's over, have the PCs' actions in the First World be their apotheosis, then continue the campaign with mythic characters using the "Continuing the Campaign" article in #36 as inspiration.
Have there been any homebrew races that you've personally approved of as a player or as a DM?

I have a few questions concerning the announcements of future products at this year's Gen Con.....
Sorry if I sound like the Paparazzi.
Concerning the announced AP Iron Gods.
1.will it use Mythic rules?
2.Will we be having a companion book for Androids(Player Companion) and/or Numeria(Campaign Setting)?
3. What is the base outline of the adventure path? Themes? Spoilers?
Concerning the Advanced Class Guide.
First a four part questions.
4a.What abilities will the War Priest have from the fighter and cleric classes? What will be new?4b.What abilities will the Slayer have from the Ranger and Rogue classes? What will be new?
4c.What abilities will the Hunter have from the Druid and Ranger classes? What will be new?
4d.What abilities will the Shaman have from the Oracle and Witch classes? What will be new?
5.Will there be the possibility of Psionic classes in this book?
6.Will the Swashbuckler be in this? and if so what type of hybrid class will it be like? Fighter/Rogue?
1) Iron Gods will not be a Mythic AP. It will use a few mythic elements here and there, just as we sometimes use spells from Ultimate Magic or monsters from Tome of Horrors or feats from Advanced Player's Guide and so on, but Iron Gods itself will not be fore mythic PCs.
2) That would make sense, and would follow our normal pattern of book releases, but we haven't yet made any announcements of this kind.
3) Science vs. Faith. Dominion of the Black. Artificial Intelligences. That's all I'm giving out for the time being. The outline isn't yet written, and I won't be revealing much more about that anyway for several months anyway.
4) All of these are a "wait and see" answer. There WILL be a public playtest for the book in a few months.
5) Zero. Psychic magic isn't appropriate content for this book.
6) I'd love to see a swashbuckler in this book, but I can only suggest and beg Jason to do something like this. You'll have to ask him if there's one in the book or not. It's not my place to reveal.

Was Iron Gods decided, and set in stone, as a future AP before or after Rasputin Must Die?
I've been wanting to do Iron Gods for a few years. I've had the title on my whiteboard in my office for over a year now—I knew this title before we knew the title of "Wrath of the Righteous." Before that, it was known in my head and on my APs to be spreadsheet as "Metal Men and Flying Cars." It's been on the AP to do list for about 5 years or so, but wasn't "Set in stone" and on the schedule until about a month ago.

James,
Is it possible for a cleric to worship more than one deity at a time? I'm thinking about making a cleric who worships Besmara, Calistria, and Cayden Cailean; would doing so require me to put one deity above the other two as the primary or would the concept equate more or less to the Godclaw faith the Hellknight sect uses and the Ebon Cult?
Nope; that's the definition, more or less, of an oracle.
Clerics worship one deity. Multiple deities (even only 2) create a pantheon, and that's what oracles are focused on.
You can have a cleric who adheres to a pantheon, but a cleric will always have one deity in that pantheon that he/she devotes their time to above all others.

What domains do you think Monad would grant?1. Is Monad (the Condition of All, Aeons) functionally a god?
2. Many CR 20 outsiders (pit fiend, balors, olethrodaemons) can be given extra abilities along with extra HD, to represent elite-ness in their plane...
is there something similar for Aeons?
1) It's a demigod. On par with demon lords and the like.
2) Not officially.
Hmmm. I'd have to go back and look. I've never been a big fan of it, though... don't really know off the top of my head what it's all about.

I know we all signed an NDA at the Secrets of Golarion panel but Justin Franklin and I just wanted to say "Thanks" again for letting us in on how Aroden died. It's so simple that it's just brilliant.
My question is one that I didn't get to ask why at the panel. Is there any plan to investigate how the established Golarion 20 will react to these new Gods?
Thanks again.

What is the relationship between Monad and Pharasma?
Again... not sure. Monad's kinda boring to me, frankly. I don't envision it ever really playing a big role in Golarion. In any event, I've not really done much thinking on it, so I can't say. (And I've done thinking on most EVERYTHING we've done, so I guess that tells you how interested I am in Monad. Sorry!)

Mr. Jacobs,
After what distance you start applying the Perception DC modifiers (+1/10'). Is it after 30' or 120' (I used max range increment for heavy xbow).No luck finding a concrete answer on the message boards.
THX
You start applying it after 10 feet... WITHIN REASON.
AKA: Don't apply it to things that are blatant. This only applies when something is hidden or trying to be stealthy. It doesn't mean that the moon can't be noticed.

Not James, but I do have an answer for you. Under the rules as written a Cleric doesn't have to choose a deity at character creation. I've always taken that to mean you can exemplify an ideal or set of ideals instead. It doesn't seem a stretch to make one of these Clerics who pays homage to all deities who support his or her ideals. This could easily lead to a Cleric who worships all three of those deities equally.James,
Is it possible for a cleric to worship more than one deity at a time? I'm thinking about making a cleric who worships Besmara, Calistria, and Cayden Cailean; would doing so require me to put one deity above the other two as the primary or would the concept equate more or less to the Godclaw faith the Hellknight sect uses and the Ebon Cult?
Actually... in Golarion, a cleric DOES have to choose a deity, and since the Godclaw only exists in Golarion rules, a cleric of the Godclaw does need to pick a single deity.
I really really REALLY wish we hadn't put the "you don't have to worship a deity" bit into the core rulebook for a cleric. It's like saying a wizard doesn't need a spellbook or a fighter doesn't need to fight.

Why isn't Xoveron mythic? I would have thought that, of all things, a demigod would qualify as such. Is it because the mythic subtype would have made him too powerful? Also, do mythic abilities and spells treat him as non-mythic?
He's more powerful than mythic, frankly.
Demon lords are built to be CR 26 to CR 30 foes, and the mythic rules, believe it or not, don't really let you do that type of creature that well "out of the box," since you can have at most 10 ranks, and it takes 2 ranks to increase CR by +1... a CR 20 creature with 10 ranks is only a CR 25 creature.
When designing demon lords, I wanted them to be usable and understandable by all GMs... not just those familiar with mythic rules. Sure... you need mythic characters to take them on, but that doesn't mean that demon lords (and similarly powerful creatures) have to use mythic rules.
That said, when they're on their abyssal realms, they do gain some mythic powers. They're treated as mythic beings in this case, but when off their planes they're not, which is one way that mythic characters (who at level 20 tier 10 power would be, basically, facing an average encounter of CR 25) can handle fights against creatures that can be up to +5 above their average party level.

Is this something that ACTUALLY happened, or are you just trolling the thread? Because if the former is true then I'm going to become even more frustrated in my attempts to completely understand the canon of the setting.Hi James,

Hope you enjoyed GenCon!
Raise the Dead (Su): As a standard action, you can summon a single skeleton or zombie to serve you. The undead creature has a number of Hit Dice equal to your oracle level. It remains for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier. At 7th level, you can summon a bloody skeleton or fast zombie. At 15th level, you can summon an advanced skeleton or zombie. You can use this ability once per day plus one additional time per day at 10th level.
How is this supposed to work? Does it make a humanoid zombie with advanced HD? Can you use it on a dead body of something else?
If this is from Mythic Adventures, you should ask the question in that thread so it can be FAQed.
My guess: Just give it the extra HD, and the math will do the rest. You don't have to worry about the thing's CR, since it's not a self-contained monster.

*Rubs the magic lamp*
Oh great and mighty and tyrannosaurusly JJWhat do you think are Paizo's defining books (hardcover or softcover) respectively for covering the Mwangi Expanse and Varisia? Loved the stuff on Mwangi in the ISWG, and Varisia made me curious for more as well.
For more fun with the Mwangi Expanse, check out "Heart of the Jungle" and the Serpent's Skull adventure path.
For more Varisia stuff, check out the Varisia Player's Guide, along with the following Adventure Paths:
Rise of the Runelords
Curse of the Crimson Throne
Second Darkness
Jade Regent
Shattered Star
And we've put a LOT of Varisia content into various other books as well. It's actually probably the MOST detailed part of our world.

On topic: Knowing you are not a fan of conventions in general, what did you enjoy about GenCon this year? Was the award ceremony overwhelming?
It was what it was. I do enjoy talking to folks about Pathifnder, and the Ennies are always nervewracking and overwhelming. And I got to spend all Saturday in my hotel room with what I think might have been a gall bladder attack or something, so that was no fun... but it was a REALLY successful Gen Con overall... so company morale is high and everyone is gleeful, so that's good!
I'm really really REALLY glad to be back in Seattle though! :-)
