So... any chance someone at Paizo would be willing to share the pre-remaster alignment & follower alignments of the new wood & metal elemental lords so that we can actually play clerics & champions of them without having to wait 3/11 months and buy a whole different book?</p>While alignment is not really necessary to run a monster under the currently existing rules, it is kinda important for deities since it's a large portion of the divine spell lists' damage and determines what champion subclasses you can play.

I was hoping to see something other than "Ikeshti who don't have sex are turned into animalistic rage-filled monsters that are a shame to their entire species and should be killed". And while the transformation into a rivener is no longer explicitly tied to mating in this book, I don't think it got any better. As I read it, the transformation is due to being outcast for resisting gender norms, which almost certainly include breeding given the way the norms are described. Essentially, Ikeshti that are uninterested in sex are still doomed to become riveners, and in this book, Chaotic Evil, except now its because of the society and "evolutionary adaptivity" instead of hormones. Though I can only speak for myself, I feel hurt by this as a man who isn't very traditionally masculine and especially as a person who's asexual, and probably other people who don't fit into traditional gender norms and/or are asexual feel hurt as well. Asexual people are already stereotyped as animalistic, emotionally stunted, monstrous, and sources of shame for family. I'm sure it wasn't the intent to play on these stereotypes, but I'm still disappointed that this wasn't changed from Starfinder, especially since Pathfinder has had so much amazing ace rep before. (Hell, Pathfinder is how I learned that being asexual and biromantic is a thing that I could be.)

<br />
First, you should definitely try playing characters who aren't like you, as long as you commit to making them actual people. I'm an Asexual person with Asperger's syndrome, and I definitely want to see more allosexual and/or neurotypical people play characters like me, as long as they do them well. Seeking out advice from said people is a great way to do that!
<br />
To that end, my 2 main pieces of advice:
<br />
1. Doing some amount of research is probably something you'll have to do, at least for playing a character from a culture other than your own, or for playing a character with a disability, etc. At the same time, don't make that completely inform how the character acts. (Not every person from a given culture is going to hold all of the values of said culture, not every person with autism displays all of the signs)
<br />
2. Being different from the "norm" doesn't count as characterization. It may inform characterization, but it shouldn't mean you make their character any less developed. For instance, a gay character might have a different personality than a straight character due to how society treats them, but that doesn't mean that they should have more or fewer personality traits, flaws, and goals.</p>Hi!

</blockquote>I wouldn't necessarily say that either is an "enemy" of Vidrian. Cheliax lost Sargava long before Sargava became Vidrian, and the Shackles will just have to go back to getting money from the Vidrians the old-fashioned way—piracy. While they aren't necessarily allies, they don't have an oblique motivation to full-out conquer them either. </blockquote><p>Conquer them — no, it wouldn't be worth it.
<p>Punish them — oh yes, they have plenty of motivation to do that. The idea of Cheliax taking action against Sargava is actually mentioned in the "Continuing the Adventure" section of one of the "Hell's" adventure paths — I think it was "Hell's Vengeance". I don't think they would particularly care that there has been a revolution there.</p>
<p></blockquote><p>I would argue that while both the Shackles and Cheliax certainly have a motive to raid Vidrian on a large organized scale, I think they both hate each other too much to actually ally together to do it. And I don't think either could do it on a large scale, with the Shackles being very loosley organized and Cheliax being far away and having much of its navy destroyed as of Skull & Shackles.zimmerwald1915 wrote:Darth Game Master wrote:100% yes.

Character Creation Rules:

<br />
1000 credits, which may be spent on items of 3rd level or lower.
<br />
20 point buy ability scores, using the Pathfinder system, maximum of 18 after race and theme modifiers. I think not having the point costs increase with the score is weird.
<br />
Non-evil alignments only.
<br />
Your character must have some connection to an <a href="http://cdn.paizo.com/image/product/catalog/PZO/PZO7208.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cedona, an android scholar.</a> The adventure includes theme-based connections if you'd like to use them, or you can invent your own.

</blockquote><p>Paizo has had dark-skinned people in light-skinned areas, and light-skinned people in dark-skinned areas. I don't have a problem with either of those, in fact I think its a good thing. My problem is that Paizo's ratio of light-skinned characters in darker-skinned areas is vastly higher than the reverse, (only 3 out of 8 iconics from Garund are black) and this sample of characters pushes that ratio higher. Ekundayo comes from Absalom, an area with no native population that is therefore very ethnically diverse, but whoever wrote this felt they needed to specify that he was from a Garundi family, whereas Tristian comes from Kelesh, an area with a majority population that does not look like him, and yet the writer did not take any space to specify his origins.Desna's Avatar wrote:Catharsis wrote: Vylatka wrote: He could also be from a Ulfen family living in the Padisha as well.
