Going by that yardstick, anyone in the world is assuredly neutral. Face it, each lifestyle choice is considered amoral or controversial in some fringe of the world.

Defining whether a person is good or evil should be made without consideration of their personal lifestyle choices. This can not be disputed. People who make choices outside of what society historically views as acceptable can operate within society in the good or evil ways irregardless of their personal choices as they pertain to relationships or their values.

An ultimately evil person will pursue their goals in the same way an ultimately good person will. Their processes and motivations will be similar, but their actions and their chosen path will be vastly different. Good Cleric -- I want to save your soul to please my deity. Evil Cleric -- I want to take your soul to please my deity. Their motivations are the same, but the consequences of their actions will be different.

The qualifier of Law, Chaos and Neutral should be considered though. These identify a person's relationship with the society in which they live. One could say, well that means that one's Lawfulness or Chaotic ness will change as they enter and leave various societies will it not? The difference is the choice of the person. A person chooses to be Lawful, Chaotic or Neutral. Good and evil is more of a core belief and some might argue not necessarily a choice. You can not help the way you are "wired" but you can choose your actions. You actions are what outwardly define you. Your motivations may never be known or understood.

That is where the distinction should be made for those NPC who choose a lifestyle outside the norm of their community. Or at least a lifestyle that is viewed that way.

So you wind up with a PC who has a Chaotic Evil girlfriend. And let's face it, in real life, we've all seen that before, right?

Because opening a graphics-intensive 100-page PDF can cause slower machines (and PDAs) to come to a crawl, and because generally, we think, when you're opening the PDF (after your first read-through, anyway), you're probably looking for a specific article anyway.

Maybe we should set up a survey...

No. Don't change it. I agree it gives you the ability to pull what you need and not worry about the rest.

Well done.

Lastly, for my fellow board visitors, how are you all planning on grouping them together?

I am bringing an existing group to the Pathfinder Chronicles. They are currently in the lands of the High King Lordic, a custom world that I have developed.

Due to their recent actions in service to the Court, they have been selected to serve as a sort of "House Guard" in service to the Crown.

Their first task is to represent the Court during the Autumn Festival in Sandpointe. This will entail them attempting to shine a good light on the Kingdome of Lordic and will place them firmly in the middle of all the events of RotRL.

I am currently running a transition adventure with the party underway on a sailing vessel enroute to Sandpointe. They will be attacked by a wily Seawolf and find their ship's captain holding a Sea Hag secretly locked away onboard. (I hope none of them are reading this.)

Does it really need a name?

Amen. Let us decide.


I have placed Falcon's Hollow in Varisia.

I will be placing it along the river below Ember Lake. Just below Nybor. The mountains north of Falcon's Hollow will be the ridgeline just south of Viperwall.

The scale might not work out perfectly, but it works for me (us).

I was going to try to make it work on the big island along the western section of Varisian Bay. I thought the Hollow Mountain was a natural location, but eventually decided against it.

None. Sorry.

Fan-submitted ones are ok, but don't expect anything official.

So is EP's reply the first offical translation? J/K hehe.
