I'm so sorry for the delay, but thank you SO much. In the end, I did it more or less like that and it went decently.

Speaking of spoilers ... does anyone else think "Rumormonger" is a bit too obvious an alias for Reginald Vancaskerkin? I'd think it would be a big red arrow pointing at the NPC the players know who runs a gossipy tabloid newspaper.

YES.

We started this AP just yesterday and I got excited and made circus posters for the whole party. The titles are in English, but the rule-related stuff is in Spanish, so my DM hasn't got that much trouble deciphering it.

Just wanted to show them and see what you guys think of them!

The knife-throwing show of One-Eyed Hyacinth, the human-changeling ranger who doesn't lose accuracy in the dark!!

The hilarious storytelling of the best pickler this side of the Inner Sea. Mr. Pickle lets the audience taste his latest creations while telling the most amazing stories!

Silent, but amazing. Vineweaver Sunturner amazes audiences with the pure strength of nature herself, and that is enough. - His catchphrase has rapidly become 'That's enough', because he has no time for banter when friends are in danger.

The mysterious witch Zahara, the latest addition to the Circus of Wayward Wonders, who seems to have the key to managing the legendary luck of halflings. She can grant it, and she can most certainly withdraw it!!!

I couldn't resist!

I see a crucial problem here.

For example, if the PC with an animal companion wants to flee from the battle, they have to use one of their actions to Command the Animal to make two Strides, and thus, both would be only using two of their actions to Stride, whereas a character without an animal companion would be circa 33% faster each round, which doesn't seem very logical. The same goes for continuing to attack an obvious threat. Maybe attacking a demon does require the animal to be forced to it, but attacking e.g. another animal seems only natural if it's threatening the companion or the master.

I guess these rules are in place in order to give the action economy the central place it holds in PF2, and it's trying to reflect the fact that you have to concentrate in order to command an animal to do things. But sometimes it just doesn't seem logical.

I think Nketiah is the tribe's main interpreter, so she'd probably just repeat the story to the PCs in common afterward.

That is indeed her role. When I play this part I will simply say that she alternates languages as she speaks.

That was the first option I thought, but it somehow clashed with the theatrical quality of the storytelling I envisioned as I read the paragraph.

I thought about this as well and how it doesn't make sense for her to common in front of the entire clan, while on the other hand it doesn't make sense to just read the paragraph as written if she speak elven or mwangi.

I think i will simply describe how Nketiah calls for an elf to act as translator for the sake of the players.

That's another option, but I really struggle with which one is best.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!! It'll certainly prove to be useful when I get to that part!!

I want to discuss a point that has been flying around in my mind after reading Cult of Cinders.

In p. 23, during the Event 7 The Storyteller's Circle, Nketiah starts telling the story of the Great Darkness and how it was defeated by the Ekujae millennia ago, but it does not state in what language she does this.

During the previous events, it is pointed out here and there that most Ekujae elves have trouble communicating with the characters unless they understand Elven or have some sort of magical way to understand foreign languages without prior study.

I'm guessing Nketiah tells the story in Elven, or the rest of the Leopard Clan would be clueless and then the scene wouldn't take place as it is described. Yet there may be no character who speaks or understands that language—luckily, that is not my case, since I've got an elf in the group, as well as a human rogue who tries to impress her by learning her language and some magic—,but this makes me wonder how others have jumped this hurdle.

Necromancy at its finest. Worms nice and plump!

I don't like "antipaladin" either. I like the ideas of Reziburno25: Tyrant for LE and Corruptor for NE. For CE, I would propose Destroyer, for example.

I have a question. Will there by any character creation guide in the new edition for evil champions or what antipaladins used to be or will there only be the three good archetypes depending on their position in the law-chaos spectrum?
