Oh that's good. With this I don't intend to use the iconic's at all as I will be creating my own original character pc's (most of the NPC's will still be paizo of course)

The main Protagonist is Primrose (CG), a half-elf cleric devoted to Desna who works alongside a Half Orc Bounty Hunter named Ragnok(N). They will be the main focus characters of the series though a may add more original Pc's as the series continues.

The setting will be base Golarion with my own tweaks and changes here and there. I.e No Iconics, Better balance of power, The only Ap that is canon will be Rise of the Runelords, all other's won't be referenced at all and a lot more.

Hi James I quite enjoy role playing within Golarion and would love to write and draw my own comic/manga adventure series within the setting.

However even though my Oc's and stories are my creation the setting and it's immense wealth of characters arn't't and I'm concerned using this material will cause legal problems. I certainly intend to notify in the information page of each chapter that aside from my own original creations the rest is the property of the team at paizo.

Will this help solve this issue as i'd really love to start working on my stories. I just love the feel and wealth of histories and fun NPC's of the pathfinder setting and basing a comic series within it with would be amazing.

Thankyou :)

Hey guys I'm currently deciding which campaign setting I want to have our next gamer's group situated in and It's come down to either Glorantha (The world governed by magic and shaped by myth) and Golarion (Pathfinder's very own campaign setting).

The thing is both have their appeals.
Glorantha is a very detailed and unique world which is governened not by physics but by magic. However it isn't as flexible theme wise.

Golarion is granted a kitchen sink setting, but is still quite detailed and allows use to have out campaign set in any theme or trope we want.

Please tell me your opinions on both so as it could hopefully make picking one abit easier hehe.

Hey everyone.

I was wondering if there is any way in working out the average populations for each of the Inner Sea nations and mabye even the World of Golarion.

Each nation has a pop total from as low as 10,000 to 300,000 for their main settlements so how much would local towns, farms forts, villages etc add to this on average? Varisia has a current population of near 100,000 total for its main settlements. Adding in the rest of the nation's humanoid pop would it be near a million or so total pop for Varisa or am I way off?

Hey everyone.

Lately i've been thinking of trying some low fantasy adventures and campaigns as I've had my fair share of High fantasy and want to try something different. I love the golarion setting though and want to try converting it to better fit as a low(er) fantasy setting but I'm not sure oh how to go about it yet.

A few thoughts are to make high level characters (10+) alot rarer. I.e characters from level 1-5 make the majority of the population. lv 6-9 make up mabye 5 percent, Lv 10-13 mabye 1 per 10000 on on ward etc.

What other idea's could help in making Golarion a low(er) fantasy setting?

Cap the game play to lower levels.

Or define more precisely what you mean by "low fantasy".

By low Fantasy I mean that the setting gives off a more realistic feel, magic isn't very abundent though still powerful when found, powerful npc's are extremly rare, things are more gritty etc.

Hey everyone. After reading through the Tome of Horrors I was interested in the story of Lucifer and how he was thrown out of hell by Asmodeus. It seems though that Lucifer doesnt exist within the pathfinder hell as I cannot recall any mention of him? Is this correct and if so is pathfinder's Asmodeus just Lucifer with a different name not another being entirely?

There's a note in the Inner sea Book regarding character level rarity.

Bacially the majority of humanity are lv 1-5 I.e Standard.
Leaders, Nation movers, Heroes lv 6-10 Exceptional.
Lv 11-15 only a handful exist in most nations and lv 16+ are exceptionally rare (being legend's in their own rights).

My guess estimation for numbers would be lv 1-5 consists of most of the population.
1/1000 or so are lv 6-10
1/25000 for 11-15
1/1,000,000 for 16+

That would be my guess.

Now i'm a strong lore lover and was wondering if you could help detail the workings of magic and how spells are aquired and how mages, be they sorcerers, clerics, wizards etc work on their magical abilities to better them.
I.e from what I believe Intellect based mages gain power and aquire new spells through research, practise and study.

For Wisdom based users and Charisma based hower im a bit confused? For clerics do their gods gift them new spells due to faithful worship or something? What about Sorcerers? How do they gain spells and increase in power in Golarion and beyond? Of course rules wise its simply leveling up but this is a purely lore/setting/novel etc based question.

I'm interested in such as I'm planning on writing up my own pathfinder fanfic's and need knowledge on how magic actually works in the setting.

P.s sorry if I rambled on abit.

For Charisma-based casters, think of their magic as inborn gifts. Superpowers, or mutant powers, if you will. They can just do magic. They were born that way.

For Wisdom-based casters, they get their ability to use magic from something beyond themselves—be it their deity, their belief, their conviction, or their faith.

Ahh I see thanks for clearing that up James. So am I right in assuming that if you have two clerics, one more powerful than the other it is due to his/her greater devotion and worship to his/her deity? I/e due to her numerous deeds in service of her deity the deity has decided she is deserving of reward and thus is gifted greater divine powers?

Hey everyone!

I have become quite entised by the pathfinder Campaign setting (one of my top 3 fantasy settings, next to arda and midnight) and was curious on how the laws of magic and physics work within the setting.

I.e Is magic unrestricted energy in which anything can be crafted from it with enough skill or does it follow certain laws in which things have to be done a certain way otherwise it would be deemed impossible. Same with physics, does this setting follow the same laws as we do or are the laws somewhat different?

Also how does physical limits work in the setting? Are humans set at the same limits as us or are there non magical ways to by pass them? I.e a 20th level fighter would certainly bypass the normal physical limits even without magical aid.

cheers xx
