No, we cannot list all the triggers. But we can cover the big ones - drugs, intoxication, adult themes, nudity. Violence is inherent in all the games, so not calling it out unless is major. Physical restraint is another trigger. As is arachnophobia and ophidiophobia. We are starting by color coding, but may consider moving to the movie rating system if we need more levels of distinction.

One I would bring up is creepy animated dolls. I've run 3 tables of a certain season 7 scenario and had multiple players tell me that it's a legit phobia for them before we actually got to the part where there was an animated one. I know there are at least a few other scenarios that this happens, too.

Also just about anything in Irrisen.

Hey, I resemble- er resent that remark!

Once I aided the Ten with some... embarrassing issues, I set up my lodge in Whitethrone after the centennial. I sent my nephew Miroslav to Absalom with my endorsement. He doesn't fit in here...

Frosted roots are something I can speak to.

Are you sure? Cheliax is after the all the greatest Empire the world has ever known. It is only natural that these hangers on look to us to provide leadership and guidance...

I am always amused when one of my adopted Homeland's once and future colonies says that.

I always make sure that any Chelish or Taldan pathfinders I am assigned with refer to me as Knight Captain Silbeg Cailean. They are so concerned about things like titles, I just want to make sure they aren't breaking any of their own rules by forgetting mine.

Wouldn't want that on my conscience, don't you know!

For a group without anyone of those affiliations (rare as it might be), you all can just call me Silbeg. Or whatever... just don't let me be late for Last Call!!

How quaint. I often am shocked at how few of the Andorans believe I am an Eagle Knight. I mean they are denser than your average Ulfen!

Sovereign Court

Lady Morila,

While my family's fortunes have seen... a sharp decline since the change of leadership in my homeland, I will continue to work with the pesean- er, my fellow Pathfinders to unite allies and bring glory to my adopted homeland. unfortunately I fear that the musings I hear from my fellow Eagle Knights indicate that our wayward colony of Andoran might not be contributing as much as they should. *sigh*

Once again, it falls to noble blood to protect our lessers.

Lady Ksenia Skartsen, Eagle Knight

Sovereign Court

I prefer to think of it as my adopted homeland accepting the peerage I bring to them. After all, my family carved out their own empire when house Landos was little more than squabbling barbarians.

she turns to Theodric Some barbarians only thrive under a strong hand. My homeland is full of them. Indeed, wolves and giants make better citizens at times. Still everyone should be given a chance to make their own way, as long as it does not disrupt their betters.

She smiles, head cocked as to an unseen listener Of course, Major Maldris would disagree. But he does not wish to see the return to the natural order his own nation is experiencing. The fires of freedom may burn brightly, but in the end everything freezes still.

Edit:
OOC: Yes they can. Most of the titles are either for ceremonial or lands that Taldor no longer controls. When I read that, I couldn't resist making Ksenia the "Baroness of Almas"

Sovereign Court

Ksenia is a strking Irrisen woman, with a butterfly winged angel on one shoulder and wearing an immaculate Eagle Knight Uniform.
Indeed, one does have obligations to the lessers who dwell in her domain. I learned that lesson from my family all too well.

-Lady Ksenia Skartsen, Baroness of Almas, Eagle Knight.

Why yes, I specialize in annoying Andorans, why do you ask?

Sovereign Court

I'll take the job!

It is an issue to me with Paizo not advancing the time line post AP. I'd like to see who Canom

Spoiler:
Even though it is the most remote option, I'd likely go with Anastasia. But I'm a Romanov fan at heart.

How's this one?

A witch can have a crab for a familiar.

A witch can't cast create water, in order to keep her crab happy during adverse conditions.

A witch with the Water patron also can't cast create water.

Are there witchy stories where they create water out of nothing? No...except for all that ice magic. That's presumably water ice, right?

Silly player.

In irrisen we conjure ice, then have peseants build fire to melt the ice. Voila! Water.

The post above represents Ksenia, not her player. Her player spent a trait to get her prestidigitation anyway.

If the bodies aren't retrieved by the retreating PC, you still need a retrieval.

What? I can't hear you! I've been deafened by a horrible monster slaughtering people, I'm going to go get help to come back and get your bodies!

Good to know for future reference

Lady Morilla,

Sometimes, it can be found that peasants do not wish to rise out of the muck they wallow in. As Grandmother would say, "You can lead an Ulfen to water, but you cannot make him bathe."

Apparently the Varisians are the same.

Ksenia

Alas poor Taldor, you never got a fair shake, I'll miss the faction.

Sovereign Court

So far I've found them quite useful. My Chelaxian friends are right, I should get a couple when I settle down.

So far Ksenia's had two scenarios with halflings. One was a musket master who enjoyed shooting the bad guys she dropped with slumber, the other a halfling cavalier I've taken to calling 'Small but Mighty'*
