No additional flavour?

So the altered Code of Conduct, which allows the Tyrant to employ whoever the heck they feel like, giving them vastly more flexibility when it comes to leading organizations without having to give up one iota of their ability to kick peoples' faces in, means nothing to you?

I mean, by all means, continue the righteous indignation, but the Tyrant did nothing but give people what they'd told Paizo they wanted-a Lawful Evil Antipaladin. When that's all the change people desired, how much tweaking SHOULD the archetype have?

I'm not mad that people finally got the LE Antipaladin. I'm one of the people who wanted it, and I have done so ever since Way of the Wicked allowed for them.

But I don't think it's unreasonable to expect an archetype to actually change things up. Imagine if Barbarian's got an archetype that allowed them to be lawful. And that was all it did. Don't you think it needs more than a handful of sentences to discuss the change? At the very least, if you're not going to discuss much of a change, at least bother to note spell changes and allowed abilities for a Fiendish Weapon bond.

It might be what people wanted, but that doesn't stop it from being lazy, and the bare minimum require to make people shut up.

If it was worth doing, it should be worth doing right.

I'm...disappointed by the tyrant archetype. It isn't actually an archetype; it's basically just an official ruling that antipaladins can be lawful. Like, that's good, since there are some out there who don't like houseruling that or whatever, but... The spell list? The whole anarchic/axiomatic oversight? It feels frankly lazy. I was pumped for that and it's a letdown.

Still looking over the rest of the material.

I have to agree, sadly. I was excited for this in preparation for playing a Lawful Evil Anti-Paladin in Hell's Vengeance. This so-called 'Archetype' is the very height of laziness. I was so excited for this archetype it was the first thing I looked at in the book, only to be met with crushing disappointment.

I've only given the rest of it a cursory glance, but that was a serious thumbs down, Paizo. Bad show.
