Alignment. As in people would not be classified as good or evil anymore, or as in it would be called something else?
Do you have an off-the-cuff estimate for how many people are in Cheliax's standing army (or equivalent thereof)? That is, how many people Queen Abrogail could put in the field (assuming the various independent Hellknight orders weren't interested in getting involved for whatever reason)? Disclaimers: I'm not looking for anything elaborate; if this question is a problem, I won't be offended if you decline to answer it; I promise not to argue with you about any answer you give.
Seen on the Kingmaker computer game's reddit: "Also, Amiri had Paizo straight up tell Owlcat she couldn't be a romance option because she's an iconic." True, or another false rumor? (That is, if this is unclear: Did Paizo tell Owlcat that they couldn't/shouldn't make Amiri a romanceable character in the computer game?)
How involved with the Wrath game are you going to be?About the same as I was with Kingmaker. I'll be involved with approvals and helping to guide things along but won't be writing any of the new content or actually making the the game a game. Are you looking forward to it?
Sorry, let me try to rephrase for greater clarity. Would it be accurate to say that Hellknight orders have a conceptual moral ceiling, in that they are all able to function in Cheliax with none of them being immediately compelled by their code to, e.g., dedicate themselves to supporting the Bellflower Network (and thus none take a more condemnatory attitude toward slavery than "able to look the other way")? If the question's still confusing, feel free to just say it's still confusing and I'll drop it; this is, after all, just my idle curiosity.
I think I'm not explaining what I mean well enough (english is my 3rd language, sorry). I mean, if the PC's of Rise of the Runelords continued the campaing claiming Xin-Shalast and/or delegations from the varisian city-states moved there, how would Sorshen deal with that in establishing New Thassilon? If I can help out here, I believe what Amarenthine Witch is saying is: The "Continuing the Campaign" section of Rise of the Runelords suggests that the PCs might want to, effectively, colonize Xin-Shalast. If that happens, in that GM's timeline, immediately after Rise of the Runelords and before Return of the Runelords, Sorshen does not have an empty wilderness to claim unchallenged.
For D&D, my favorite setting is Greyhawk. There's a LOT of Greyhawk DNA in Golarion. I also quite enjoyed Forgotten Realms, Mystara, Dark Sun, and Planescape.How did you feel about Ravenloft? Do you have an opinion on the Expedition to Castle Ravenloft hardcover? (No demiplane, no universal trapping though Strahd's likely to have an opinion on whether the PCs specifically get to leave while he's still undead, no fear/horror/madness checks unless the DM chooses to site it on the Ravenloft demiplane, and even there the DM needs to come up with them unaided by the text.)
What happens to a soul that has a shabti crafted for it? It escapes judgment and the shabti goes to the afterlife it otherwise would have; does that mean it reincarnates, it dissolves, it wanders the planes forever?It's treated the same as any other soul once it dies. From the cycle of souls, it's closer to reincarnate than undeath as far as Pharasma cares, but someone who uses this option over and over will eventually annoy her or the psychopomps enough to go on THE LIST. I'm not sure I follow. In The Dead Roads, there's a character, Reedreaper, who was crafted as a shabti for a man who 1) had unambiguously earned Abaddon, and 2) was dead when Reedreaper was crafted. The entire purpose of crafting Reedreaper was to save that man from Abaddon without resurrecting him (because his family didn't actually want him back, just not in Abaddon). Reedreaper went to Abaddon. What happened to the man who he was crafted to save from Abaddon? The same as any other soul would suggest he went to Abaddon and the existence of a shabti did nothing.
I meant good-aligned; there's no shortage of demons who are all about lust (even not counting Nocticula anymore), but it seems unpopular among good-aligned figures. Shelyn? Really? She's the goddess of love and art, and it says in her description in Faiths of Purity: "Followers of Shelyn endeavor to make themselves beautiful, though not necessarily arousing--lust is the purview of Calistria, and while Shelyn's no prude, she knows the difference between true love and mere carnal attraction." That looks pretty inherently dependent on love to me. Am I missing something?
This is from the Oracle description: Although the gods work through many agents, perhaps none is more mysterious than the oracle. These divine vessels are granted power without their choice, selected by providence to wield powers that even they do not fully understand. Unlike a cleric, who draws her magic through devotion to a deity, oracles garner strength and power from many sources, namely those patron deities who support their ideals. Instead of worshiping a single source, oracles tend to venerate all of the gods that share their beliefs. So that's not the class I was looking for. Which class would be appropriate for something like the reverse--someone who derives power from faith in one god who didn't give them power in advance of their faith developing (Iomedae specifically in this context), but lacks formal religious education and isn't part of that god's church? (Is there one, or have I described a character who wouldn't exist in Pathfinder?)
In Hell's Vengeance 5: Scourge of the Godclaw, a plot point/exploitable weakness of one ex-paladin NPC is that her son was taken prisoner, entirely unwillingly "given to Asmodeus," and is now in Hell. In light of your having said earlier that you can't sell someone's soul unless they consent, I'm thinking this should be regarded as an authorial error. Is that correct? |
