Lucanis looks like he's 12.

funny you should say that. When I saw that picture I immediately thought of Terry Pratchett's book Eric, featuring a 12-year old demonologist

I'm curious what work hazard led to majority of male TSR employees losing their hair at such alarming rate. :)

Everyone knows the testosterone levels at TSR went through the roof. Fact of life if part of your job is doing a Larry Elmore art order.

I looked it up in the linked threads.

As I understand it, for competitive reasons, Paizo won't disclose the cost or volume of their print work. Neither will their printer disclose wages of their workers. The best you're going to get is this:

I can tell you that they're ISO 9002 Standard Certified, and while that standard doesn't directly address working conditions, it does address process and quality standards that are hard to meet with poor working conditions.

Again, I'm genuinely curious, what information would satisfy you? Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you want information that Paizo is unable to give you without giving up information which, in a market of two, would be extremely unwise to share.

I noticed that most of the books from Paizo are published in China. While I have no doubt that this is cost-effective, I would like to know if Paizo has taken steps to verify the condition of the workers manufacturing their products. Anyone has any info on this????

Since two employees have weighed in on this thread without answering your question, the answer seems to be that they have no idea what the conditions are for their workers. At this point you have to assume willful ignorance until the company not only gives their opinion but also gives verifiable evidence that they will stand behind.

Or it could be that they chose not to comment on these matters.

I have a difficult time believing blanket statements like Printed in China = child labor or it's opposite, companies are morally obliged to check every aspect of every company they have dealings with, however obliquely.

I'd go with Shemeshka the Marauder, the king of the crosstrade. Want to find out more, why don't you give Todd Steward a poke.

Liz is to Paizo what the Oracle is to the Matrix.

Hmmm...yeah, I'm going to go with that. Except her cookies don't typically result in memory loss.

[paranoia] oh yeah, how do you know? [/paranoia]

Wow, Taig, great run. Congratulations!

I believe there was a pie in that chest.

We're about to enter the shrine to Demogorgon. I thought I would create a nice little model for the set piece battle in the Harem for when the PC's teleport in.

tell me what you think.

It's also about self preservation. It's much easier to ask others to respect your intellectual property if you do the same.

A company like Paizo, that puts massive amounts of content out there (and in easy to copy PDF's no less), has every reason to not only follow the letter of the law, but the intent as well. It's just good business sense.

1) With Lunge do you threaten at both 5'-10' during the round?
2) If you do does that mean you can whirlwind all those within reach, so everyone at 5'-10' from you?

Please advise.

With reach, you can attack a creature 10'away, but cannot attack a creature 5'away (see the reach quality in the equipment section). I believe the exception to this is natural attacks.
