How much of the lore we're given in the Wrath of the Righteous video game is canon, ignoring path specific events and things that directly contradict the lore from the actual AP? Things like there being a Pathfinder Society lodge in the Midnight Isles, etc. Just curious how closely the game makers worked with your lore team when writing the game.

So if I'm reading this right, I think using Bracers of Celestial Intervention with this Prestige class would be very powerful.

Getting nine smite evils to sacrifice in order to get Summon Monster 9 should be very doable.

And it may even be powerful enough to justify increasing the amount of Ki you aim to generate, so as to make a summoner Paladin of sorts.

Wouldn't work that way. Burning Ki just allows you to use Smite Evil an additional time per day, it doesn't actually grant you more uses. You'd only be able to use it as summon monster ii, more than likely.

Would a plant Druid be able to wildshape? Plants are immune to Polymorph effects, but I was unsure if that extended to their own wildshape abilities.

That was quite a backstory...

Pushing still requires definable actions... i.e. geting a horse to move, etc. Pushing only means that you want your animal to do a type of action it would normally do, but not do in the circumstance you want it to... i.e. riding into fire. There is no way to train or push an animal to "fail a save" as that is not a definable action for an animal to take.

RAW you can't get an animal to eat a nice tasty t bone steak either because there's no trick for it...

Horses aren't carnivores... they can't eat steak.

He said animal, not horse. RAW you can't get a horse to eat a nice tasty apple because there's no trick for it.

This is a massive grey area for society x.x

I'd like to see Ratfolk next season, particularly after the major role they played in Bonekeep.
Catfolk would be pretty cool as well, especially if we introduct them at the same time as ratfolk...
The rest kinda depends on where season 7 is centered.

I think the Unchained monk will do wonders for this class. Full BAB and a flurry that works well with Multiclassing, combined with d10 HD.

The Handle Animal skill functions similarly no matter how intelligent an animal becomes. A character must still make Handle Animal checks to train his animal and get him to perform the appropriate tasks.

Again, that's referring to animals specifically, not magical beasts. The PRD section I quoted makes the distinction between the two:

Sentient Companions - Paladin bonded mounts, familiars, and cohorts fall into this category, and are usually player-controlled companions.

...

Nonsentient Companions - Animal companions, cavalier mounts, and purchased creatures (such as common horses and guard dogs) fall into this category. You can direct them using the Handle Animal skill, but their specific behavior is up to the GM.

Ok... so say your cleric/heal-bot cohort chose INT as a dump stat and had only an 8, then got a Bestow Curse he couldn't shake off that applied a -6 penalty to INT... Is he now controlled by the GM? Would the results change if it was INT damage? INT drain? Or does his innate NON-animaly-ness prevent him from GM control in this method (obviously GM could still dominate, possess, etc.)

No, because his creature type isn't animal. Unless I'm missing a rule to the contrary.
