Ha, glad you enjoyed it!

(though, of course, Namor says it "Imperius Rex")

I learned as a freelancer that you can't get too cute with little Easter eggs and such, but it's not gonna kill anybody to throw in a little one every now and then. That's one of the perks of being your own boss! :)

Yes, that is the sort of thing you need to be careful with-it will always annoy someone. I haven't dealt with it in this sort of situation but have slipped things in fiction I've written. Its almost more annoying when you're too subtle and no one gets it.

In this case its especially funny since the quote makes much more sense in this context than whenever Namor used it. Stan Lee always said he just put two words together that sounded good (though you can't always trust Ol' Stan, not that he necessarily lies but he is old and has always said his memory is bad-though it is convenient that his memory lapses are almost always in his or Marvel's favor) and weren't meant to mean anything (except maybe the equivalent of "It's clobbering time!"), but in this case a translation of "ruling leader/king" or "conquering leader/king" isn't far off.

I love the different titles but if you want more options check out Noble Titles and if THAT'S not enough for you there's More Noble Titles

And I laughed so hard when I saw Imperious Rex listed.

Antipaladin would be the same as paladin (makes sense, since it is an alternate class of the paladin class, and unlike the samurai and ninja doesn't have any geographic/cultural connotations that go with it. Evil temple/cathedral is what you need. It might make sense to require the kingdom alignment to match or at least be close (perhaps LG, NG, LN kingdom alignment for paladins, CN, CE, NE for antipaladins).

Inquisitor, though, was an oversight. Just use the cleric line.

Thanks, this makes sense. I guess the building you'd need for an anti-paladin would be pretty scary. I wonder how much the kingdom alignment, the character alignment and the church/cathedral alignment should each matter. The way you listed it N kingdoms can never have either paladin which may make sense-alignment is one part of d&d/pathfinder I'm ambivalent about/don't understand completely. Was planning on starting a thread on it. Seems weird that CN would recruit anti-paladins. Also seems like paladins may only work for a LG kingdom. An anti-paladin would work for whoever he wanted, I guess, but I'd be worried if I was a good kingdom. The campaign matters-if you're playing in Golarion I imagine the church is dedicated to a specific God and only those Gods who have paladins can be recruited from that building. I don't know much about anti-paladins-do they have Gods or are they just evil all on their own? ;)

At least the way you have it listed makes kingdom alignment matter a little more. It seems like it should matter more than a point or two in a kingdom stat. I was thinking maybe it should add 5 or 10% to that stat but that may be too much. Maybe I'm forgetting something else it affects.

BTW this is completely irrelevant but if you do a revision there's a redundant sentence on the page we're talking about: under "Elites" it says both, "other PC classes may be available at the GM's discretion" and in the same paragraph, "At the GM's option, other PC classes may be recruited as elites."

I just wanted to thank Jason for his very fast and generous help despite my rather rude initial inquiry. I haven't finished it yet but it seems like a great product.

One thing that I'm not sure about is the absence of both the inquisitor and anti-paladin from the building requirements needed to recruit them. I assume this is an oversight as the anti-paladin is mentioned earlier as being recruitable. The inquisitor I imagine as using either the same buildings as either the paladin or cleric (I'm not sure if they should require the military academy as paladins do but it seems reasonable). The anti-paladin I'm not sure about, it would seem odd for them to require a cathedral or temple but I guess if it was an evil cathedral or temple it would fit but I don't think they're explicitly aligned. The other alternate classes have their own requirements so the anti-paladin would seem to as well.

This is a pretty minor nitpick in an excellent book, however.

Has anyone else had a problem when ordering with a credit card and the download only being 93 bytes? It won't let me reattempt the download so I'm stuck with broken PDFs. Knowing my luck its just me. I was really looking forward to diving into this and its quite frustrating.
