Question concerning Cheliax's fate: Is what's left of Cheliax is now directly connected to Hell and is Abrogail Thrune the 2nd is now a full-fledged devil? o_o
“Nothing. Nothing happens at all. The dead god’s hand is cold. His ancient wisdom without a voice.”--Erik Mona Entire Party: ...fffffffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU(CENSORED)
But yeah, I'm hoping we get the following: More on the mystery cults of the Empyreal Lords centered in Magnimar (some info on Arshea's clergy would be lovely!) Info on the current state of affairs the nation of New Thassilon (and it's ruler Queen Sorshen's positions on things like the Whispering Tyrant's return and the Hellfire Crisis) What's going on via the nation of Irrisen (and maybe a really cool Winter Witch archetype) Rules for Linnorm Hide and Linnorm Hide Armor Some new anti-giant weapons and/or artifacts?
I swear. What is UP with gothic horror ghosts and haunting paintings of themselves? Isn't that RIGHT haunted painting of my great great uncle Ebenezer? Ebenezer's Painting: Did you kill the OTHERS? ...I SHANT! Ebenezer's Painting: YOU MUST!!!
I'm honestly craving some more Dhampir racial feats to be honest. There are some many possibilities with the various bloodlines.
True, friend. The players on this roster are the ones who believe the most. Colossal is the right word though. Is this a good time for a shakeup? When Gorum died it rained blood and pieces of the God of War all over the Multiverse and caused war to break out EVERYWHERE! Also we've been given prophecies of just what horrific events would occur if any other deities perished. So I can only IMAGINE what would occur is a God came back to LIFE! Specially with the Hellfire Crisis either still raging or having ended with massive changes to Avistan's map.
Just stopping by to say that the art for the characters looks absolutely fantastic, I'm totally in love. Very Darkest Dungeon, but they have a kind of Elric or Red Sonja look as well. Erik seriously did an amazing job. I HEARD RED SONJA! DID SOMEBODY MENTION RED SONJA? Gods I would LOVE to see the return of the Sword-Devil archetype!
And here I thought Aroden was truly very Very DEAD. If he returns to Golarion it will be a colossal shakeup for the AGES! Kingdoms, continents, and even other Gods would probably be all affected!
The carrion angel was not inspired by the angel of rot, but instead by the basic idea of a fallen angel but with undeath as the theme instead of fiend. It's not all that unusual an idea, undead angels (or undead demons, for that matter). They pop up now and then. Wow, Celestials and Fiends can become undead? I wonder if other beings of the Multiverse can as well? I would love to see some Necromentals! Heh! ^^
Letting his village come back with their demonic part in control might be just the thing. Or slaughtering another entirely different village full of people in return for bringing his village back. And even if Usharak does it, I'd imagine the people of his village would be twisted demonically somehow after being brought back. Never trust a Fiend with a deal.
What if it's more than a librarian waiting there? Considering Usharak has already run into several demons that wouldn't surprise me. Whatever our iconic Necromancer tries to bargin with, I doubt it's going to be willing to let him walk away with just his own soul forfit.
Something tells me Usharak is going to be disappointed by the demands of whatever demonic librarian controls that library. Demons are never interested in selfless sacrifice, they desire the destruction of the innocent, the good, and the pure. Whatever this librarian is going to ask for in return, it's not going to be just Usharak's soul in return.
Fun fact everyone, when you see an emaciated, gaunt as heck, evil as all 9 circles of Hell grinning, pale eyed, Garundi woman who hands could be considered claws...FIREBALL...literally FIREBALL!
I was hoping Nyctessa would get to shine as the iconic, especially after Wake the Dead, but I do like Usharak and his story. He's a refreshing take on a necromancer, and it works well with how integrated it is into iruxi traditional practices. Nyctessa is the Dhampir necromancer iconic correct? Honestly she didn't appeal to me whatsover sadly. I wonder if we'll get a new Dhampir iconic one of these days?
And to your point, I'm also a big fan of the idea of a more "virtuous" take on Necromancy, though of course it can exist along with the more archetypal "Obviously Evil D00D" too. As always, magic, like any power in Pathfinder's setting, can be used for good or for evil. It can be used to protect and save or to destroy and defile. The choice is ultimately the bearer's.
They can also be motivators for wanting to live on and protect others. Seelah had a lot of regret stealing that helm (so much so that she offered her life to give the wearer of that helm justice in death) but her regret and guilt proved her humanity and became her salvation.
I can definately sympathize when it comes to Usharak's story. Fighting a destiny he never wanted with all that he had and by the time he was tired of the fight and accepting of his fate it was far far too late. :( To quote a certain skeletal pirate musician in a hit anime, "Dogs and queens...toads and kings...WE'RE ALL BONES WHEN WE DIIIIEEEE!!!" Also I really like the new take on the Necromancer class being not so much a mastermind creator of legions of vile undead but instead a communion between life and death and being able to call upon the etheral ectoplasmic spirits of their ancestors to defend the ones they love.
Every loyal Hellknight in a hundred mile radius of your approximate location, recieving a simultaneous Sending: "Find these infidels wherever they hide and -- oh, Prince of Darkness, it's everywhere! Scrub harder you peasants! -- kill them with extreme prejudice, whatever it takes!" LOL! Thank you, that was truly funny. Heh.
I'm still working on the concept but she's a female human for starters! She's less Lounge singer though and more Lady Gaga! She dresses up in outrageous and sexy outfits with plenty of fluffy feathers and boas and sings hit singles while dancing on stage! While performing for the adoring crowds is what she's known for she has been secretly gathering funds and resources in order to aid and one day possibly lead a resistance movement to liberate her world of Aeolus (which is occupied by the Azlanti Star Empire)! ;)
So our PC's where tracking a Blood Hag and her coven of vile sisters in the mountains of Cheliax to free a Changeling woman (and hopefully future ally) of "the Call". During this a PC in our group MAY have come across a Ring with one Wish left on it in the Hag's treasure horde. She then MAY have ACCIDENTIALLY wished while drunk for Queen Abrogail Thrune II of Cheliax to be covered in slimes and oozes while she slept in her royal bed chambers. Sooo...yeahhh...we're being hunted by lots of assassins now. Hahahahahaha...o_o
At this point Dispater shouldn't be surprised. Heh.
Finally! I can finally play my feather boa draped songstress/dancer celebrity who moonlights as a resistance leader against the Azlanti Star Empire! Thank you Paizo! You have no idea how happy this makes me! ^^
(Dispater is enjoying his devilously luxurious sulfur bath when the doors to his personal bathroom are flung open in the dreaded Town of Iron which lays at the absolute center the hellish infernal city of Dis) (Dispater quickly rises from his bath in a burning hot rage) Dispater: WHO DARES? Il'setsya Wyrmtouched (holding a giant rune covered cannon over her shoulder): DISPATER!!! Dispater: oh nooo... Il'setsya: EAT PIEEEEE! (cream pie launches out of the cannon and lands right in Dispater's horrified face) (Il'setsya proceeds to throw the cannon away and stroll away humming the Gargoyles theme) Dispater's Devil Servant: ...what was THAT all about? Dispater: ...I'm still trying to figure that out... Devil Servant (tasting the cream): Mmmmm...BANANA CCCRRREAAAAAAMMMM!
Infusing machines with arcane and divine magic might not be unknown in Pathfinder but has anyone thought of what the consequences would be of a nation of power hungry people slowly draining arcane/divine beings (or perhaps even people like Sorcerers) of their magical potential in order to infuse that power into war machines? It'd make for a pretty interested campaign/adventure path I feel.
I completely understand AND empathize that staff at Paizo need to be able to afford their bread and butter too like the rest of us. I'm just hoping this increase isn't the straw that breaks the camel's back cause holy HELL that camel is holdin up a LOT for us in the USA right now. :(
Sooo...Paizo just increased it's prices for it's PDF's. Personally I'm a tiny bit upset as I'm in a cost of living crisis like most of the USA and I can't really afford those prices. How does everyone else feel about this?
I'm actually wondering if the game series Destiny was ever remade completely or even given a partial remake would working Starfinder (aka via Starfinder's species and classes) be something that could possibly work somehow? Hmmm...
Does anyone know if anyone have converted any Pathfinder specific Celestials to 5th Edition D&D? Just curious.
The Sword-Devil Archetype, a 2e Pathfinder conversion by WordyWarlock:
Would anyone like to see Archetypes for specific Ancestries in 2e Pathfinder if there aren't any already? I honestly wouldn't mind seeing a 2e take on the Dhampir Kinslayer or Elf Treesinger.
The Darkness RUE! It's...SO DARK! SO ARCHIVEY! IT's...IT'S OVER TAKING US! HHHHHHHUUUURRRRAAAAGGGGHHHH!
Quick question somewhat related to the original question: Has any Demon Lord stepped up to replace Nocticula as the Demon Queen of Lust and Succubi?
I did love the ability of the 1e Winter Witch prestige class to deal cold damage to beings normally immune to it. My renegade Jadwiga Winter Witch really surprised (and enraged) a few Frost Giants as well as a Night Hag with that ability! ^^
Will the Necromancer class feature options similar to the Hallowed Necromancer archetype (aka focusing more on eradicating undead and manipulating both positive and negative energies instead of having the ability to create undead)?
Anyone wanting too see any archetypes based on 1st edition prestige classes? I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Heritor Knight or Winter Witch make a return. ^^
Dispater (sighing): So much anguish to inflict and an eternity to do it...what the? (sees a brightly colored present lying on his iron table) Dispater (eyeing the tag): To Dispater...who in the Multiverse could hav? (a banana cream pie comes out of the box and hits Dispater square in the face) Dispater: IL'SETSYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Ahhh...the Land of the Linnorm Kings in WINTER...so majestic...so cheerful...a time for mead, warm furs, gettin cozy by the fireplace...and waving to the Krampus has he proceeds to kidnap the wailing children of the town...
Not very fond of the Silver Dragon's replacement. I'd like to think Oath Dragons should be far more benevolent than that.
Not gonna lie, I'm not fond of the artwork for either the requiem dragon or the despair dragon though I do like the concepts of them.
Though we won't be doing this, I'm sure a member of the community will! Ask and thou shalt receive: Cinder Dragon (Red)
Empyreal Dragon (Gold)
Hoping we get some of the other Planar Dragons later after this (aka Apocalypse Dragon, Crypt Dragon, Paradise Dragon, etc etc). Also hoping we might get some Gigas in this (aka Nirvana Gigas, Hell Gigas, Boneyard Gigas, Abaddon Gigas, Elysian Gigas, etc etc).
Does anyone know if anyone has made a manual converting Pathfinder Celestials into 5th Edition D&D Monsters? If so, can anyone provide me a link or two?
Will the ancestry system for Pathfinder edition be used for Starfinder 2nd edition as well? If so, will we get ancestries from Pathfinder species like Dwarves, Halflings, and Elves (but with a modern Starfinder spin) as well as the typical ones? I ask as my girlfriend is interested in playing a female halfling mystic.
Would honestly LOVE some Technomancer abilities that simulate the abilities of Technomancers from Babylon 5! Summoning solid hologram monsters, electrocuting foes, and even having a protective forcefield all sound awesome!
What's the funniest thing your PC's ever did to a foe? I'll start: My PC's spent days hunting down a minor vampire lord in Ustalav's capital city. It was a complete and utter pain as he was sending assassins, summoned fiends, and everything else he possibly could to kill us, all the while we were doing everthing we could to find fang face. We finally found out where his lair was and were incredibly annoyed as apparently it was underneath the first place we looked. So we choose daylight to venture down, encountering trap after trap, minion after minion, only to discover he was asleep in his coffin. We were upset. We were annoyed. We were TIRED. So our bard used an paint brush artefact to write the words "Weasel Face" on his forehead just for the fun of it. Any words written with the brush are absolutely PERMANENT and can be read by anyone in the language they know best. Then we engaged him in combat...only for him to turn into mist and escape. We had to find him AGAIN but ironically this time he came to US! He attacked the Inn we were at during the night with a band of his remaining minions and he...was...ANGRY! He couldn't figure out why everyone he knew kept laughing at him. We didn't the heart to tell him. Heh.
Wait, did Iblydos manage to kill that Thalassic Behemoth that the gods sent to punish them for creating (and relying on) hero-gods out of mortals? Also, quick side note, we gonna get Behemoths back someday in 2nd ed Pathfinder Paizo? No rush of course, just askin. ;)
The art of Ulka screams troll at me not orc. Arms longer then legs like a gorilla. Neck just slides into the arms with no shoulders. I actually agree with you and this might get me some hate but I gotta say I'm not exactly a huge fan of the artist's interpertation of a female Orc. The body proportions are all...off...to say the least.
But does she fight, slaughter, and leave orphans in her wake for a cause or simply for the glitter of gold? If it's the later, she might find herself facing the vengeance of some of her victims one day and death might not be as kind as it has been before...
I just wanted to give a brief thank you to the entire staff of Paizo.com and everyone who has ever worked for them. As much as I love certain tabletop rpg companies, I've found that I have had a significantly more pleasant experience with your company and it's community. Your staff is willing to be contacted and to let problems be heard so they can be addressed and possibly fixed. Not to mention that your website still has active Forums that we can post in. Lastly, your tabletop rpg company was one of the first to embrace the LGBTQ+ community as well as celebrate other ethnicites and even produce content from all of them! So thank you Paizo. Merci beaucoup!
Wait, Queen Abrogail Thrune II with Mythic Power is frightening enough...what if Gorthoklek gets mythic power? Could he ascend to become a mythic Tyrant Devil or (Inheritor forbid) a INFERNAL DUKE? o_o
