That's fair, but my explanation still works for an in-universe handwave
The beliefs section of the Minotaurs doesn't even mention Baphomet, who was their patron god in PF1. I guess the Worldwound being closed and the Templars of the Ivory Labyrinth being routed means he can't really influence them anymore. WOTR CRPG spoiler: Or that sick burn from Nenio really got under his skin.
I think it's pretty cool that we're getting three hardcover books in the same year.
If it's at all possible for the PCs to take control of the Devastation Ark, then it will be VERY bad news for the Swarm, Corpse Fleet, Cult of the Devourer, and many other of the Pact World's threats.
Take my love, take my land,
Take me out to the black,
There's no place, I can be,
And you can't take the sky from me.
Things are going to be pretty exciting for Starfinder with this and Grimmerspace hitting in the same month.
Does anyone have their subscriber copy or would it be too early for that?
there were lots of gaps (hah) in the ways you could build a character to do stuff you wanted. Ironic, I made that same joke with a friend at the game store the other day.
So how does Solar Flare work? Is it another option like a Solar Weapon or Armor?
Oh boy, Doom Eternal and THIS in the same month...maybe I'll end up making a Vesk Soldier who has a blood-oath to fight the Abyss and RIPS AND TEARS demons.
It'd be funny if Zemir actually opened a portal to the other side of the Gap and his friends are chilling on Golarion right now.
It's so strange and sad to me that Gary had a ton of respect and fame after writing Way of the Wicked, then just decided to throw that all away. He could have been one of, if not the most respected 3rd party Pathfinder writer ever. Now his name is synonymous with broken promises, bitterness and disappointment.
Preemptive question before the subscriber PDFs start dropping: what are the new Swarm creatures in this one?
Are there any new empires or important factions introduced to the SF setting in the fluff of this book?
Mighty Orb, what can you tell me of the Brenneri and Espraksa?
For those of you who have the PDF, what's the basic low-CR swarm grunt like? I'm really surprised we didn't get that in Alien Archive 1, you would think by including a species called "The Swarm" we'd get their equivalent of a Zergling or Hormagaunt in the first monster book.
You don't even get to fight him? Eh. I think I'll replace that part with homebrew.
** spoiler omitted ** Thank you so much! Since you're the writer of this module this pretty much counts as being "from the horse's mouth" in my opinion; so I have no complaints now. Look forward to reading about the Tyrant's hijinks and shenanigans in the Lost Omens book!
Ugh, thought so. Would've been cool.
I have a question, and I have a sinking feeling that the answer is "no". Do we get the domains/subdomains/favored weapon for Tar-Baphon once he becomes a god? I'd be really interested in what "God-Baphon"'s crunch is and it'd be pretty cool for if I want to run a homebrew where he succeeded in getting the Starstone.
What about the new prestige class?
What are the new archetypes?
Looks like the SCP Foundation has taken over Paizo
*only cares that if Orcus gave him the wand, MAYBE now we'll get people to do Rappan Athuk in Golarion* I thought about putting Rappan Athuk in Golarion. I figured it'd make sense for it to be in Ustalav. The cult of Orcus were buddy-buddy with the Whispering Tyrant and Zelkor was part of the Shining Crusade alongside Iomedae.
So let me get this straight: if Tar-Baphon succeeds in his goal of using the Starstone to become a god, he basically becomes Nagash from Warhammer, right? I'm genuinely interested in seeing what his domains and favored weapon are, but since there's not going to be a campaign continuation article maybe we won't get that.
With all those high-level spells with stratospheric DCs, I frankly don't think she needs a weapon.
The thing in part B3 of the final area reminds me of Silent Hill 4: The Room. I wonder if that's where the inspiration came from. For people who don't care about Heart of Night or SH4 spoilers: In Silent Hill 4: The Room you come across a giant disembodied head of one of the female characters in a room late in the game. It's apparently alive and it's eyes follow the main character. And in this AP there's a room towards the end where there's a giant head of Dr. Lestana Gragant. I can see the writers getting inspiration from SH4 because of the psychological and paranormal themes from the game which fit this AP pretty well. Here's a spoiler-y video which discusses the game in-depth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzP6AVjti7A
I wonder who that is on the cover. It looks like he's some kind of antipaladin, but he has the symbol of Iomedae.
This volume also includes an extensive article showcasing the final material written by Paizo's developers for the first edition of the Pathfinder RPG. What does this actually mean?
Since fighting her isn't going to come up (unless the campaign goes right off the rails), the player's seeing her stats shouldn't hurt. This is probably how she'd react to the PCs fighting her.
Do the Stewards ONLY police the Pact Worlds, or do they have authority to go beyond the solar system?
I would like to know about the new races and their flavor, if you don't mind. Is the undead race essentially playable Eoxians? That's what I was hoping for.
Guess those guys just earned their citizenship.
I would say either give them their own homeland or send them all to fight the Worldwound.
I can see it now, and it looks awesome.
Updated with final product description and cover image! I can't see it
Pretty sad how McBride was praised so much for Way of the Wicked and how it became probably the best 3rd party campaign ever, only for him to throw away all the goodwill and popularity he had because he decided to stop talking to his backers. Also, I find it really inspiring and a bit sad that kevin_video is doing more than McBride ever did to keep the WoTW/ToN community alive.
So, is our general consensus "A lot of cool flavor and awesome archetypes but the Shifter class sucks"?
What is an Aeon Guard?Basically an Azlanti storm trooper. Do they have a -20 attack penalty on every ranged attack with a laser weapon?
Best. Reference. Ever.
Honestly, the Haan make me so angry...I just don't see how they're supposed to be a player race. They're literally Large giant insects with no opposable thumbs. How do they wield weapons? How do they wear armor? It just screams "convoluted and disruptive to games".
I saw the title and thought it was something about Way of the Wicked.
Maybe if Eiseth actually succeeds in taking down Moloch and getting his position, Asmodeus will acknowledge her superiority and allow her to take Moloch's place. That kinda sounds more CE than LE, but then again Hobgoblins have duels amongst them to determine who gets to lead.
This is a really funny thread for me. Within my local gaming group, I've GM'ed several times and I've frequently used cultists as villains. Hobgoblin cultists of Moloch, cultists of Baphomet, cultists of Orcus, cultists of Dagon, and so forth. It's become an in-joke that I'm obsessed with cultists and always use them as villains. Or specifically "irredeemable demon-worshipping cultists who can't be reasoned with".
How much new information does this book going to have about Orcus? Wasn't he going to get new art and a redesign to distinguish him from his WOTC counterpart?
Reading this thread saddened me somewhat. Not because I disagree with any of it's contents or disdain the original poster, but rather, reading this made me realize just how many oversights, contrivances, and missed opportunities there are in Hell's Rebels. It was one of my favorite APs, and seeing Ranulf deconstruct and criticize it in such depth makes me feel that it's a completely non-sensical, mediocre mess. I guess he's right, it needs to be *heavily* modified to make it work.
A Hobgoblin campaign would be awesome.
What the heck are the "Unseen"?
Whoa, Lakeside, you've done a lot of research on this.
