Razmir's already a god; why would he need to take the test?

<<_>>_<< Because he is dying from old age, and this would remove that threat from him and his kingdom. >>_<<_>>

Keep in mind, Aroden and Razmir are not one of the PFS allowed deities. So by default you cannot worship them.

So, at your table, I guess my Priest of Razmir cannot worship Razmir?

You leave me with a headache, as this PC is, legally for PFS, a Razmiran Priest. Razmir is his god, yes?

With a skilled synthesis of glib lies and powerful arcane magic, Razmir sits atop a pyramid of faith behind an impassive mask—only the highest-ranking members of his cult know the truth, that their “god” is in fact a mortal man fast approaching the end of his life.

I would suspect, since Razmir himself is 19th level, that "highest-ranking" would probably be higher level than regular PFS scenarios go...

Boy, wouldn't it be a klunker for Razmir to have been 'The Dying God' all this time and not have known it.

"Congratulations, Raz, you're actually a deity! You never knew that, did you? Well, bad news. You've got cancer and you've got three centuries to live. Sorry, man."

Wouldn't cancer be a fairly simple issue to deal with? Remove Disease is a fairly powerful spell, especially from a high level caster...

Ah, but it's not on the sorc/wiz list. Now that'd be interesting quest for him, curing the cancer without involving someone who might rat your non-divinity out.

Ummm. Ya might want to check out the Razmiran Priest archetype....

At 3rd level, the Razmiran priest adds aid to his list of spells known as a 2nd-level spell. At 5th level, he adds remove disease to his list of spells known as a 3rd-level spell. This ability replaces the bloodline spells gained at 3rd level and 5th level respectively.

So, yeah, remove disease would be soooo difficult for Razmir to get cast....

I did end up picking up Liberty's Edge shortly after I started this thread, but I didn't see any reason to edit my initial post; it wasn't really relevant to the core question.

Just as an FYI, the change from Andoran to Liberty's Edge did not use up the free faction change for Season 6. That was more of a "If you were such-and-so faction, you are now, without cost, a member of this-and-that faction instead."

Why Sovereign Court rather then Liberties Edge which is just Andoran anyways?

Eeeeeeh...

I'd be more careful about those sorts of statements. When the Faction changes happened there were quite a few ppl that decided the new versions were different enough from the old ones to warrant switching. I remember several well-reasoned arguments (in- and out-of-character) that especially pointed out the differences between Andoran and Liberty's Edge ("Colsin Maldris has gone rogue"!").

I had probably half a dozen PCs that switched because of conflicting differences.

The Sovereign Court makes an entirely respectable home for the more socially adept Sczarni given its rather strong family/mafia vibe.

Not really. I am not working for those old-fashioned aristocrats, I am working for the wave of the future, the Living God Razmir!

All hail and worship Razmir!

Now, if only I could figure out which faction is the proper spiritual home for me, now that Sczarni is gone, and The Exchange doesn't work....

Bio:
Kitsune
Sorcerer with Razmiran Priest archetype, and the Undead bloodline
Former Sczarni, nominally The Exchange (haven't been played since Sczarni went away)
Mildly Chaotic (Kitsune, after all), Lawful Neutral PC (Razmiran is LE, so, I think, I must be LN to be PFS legal, as a Priest of Razmir).

Last time I saw your Uncle Ven, he was lazing around in Eto in Osirion. Good luck in catching up to him.

I just wanna say not to judge Clara too harshly until you've seen what Steve's 18 Charisma is worth. I think most women would lose some spell slots for that...

It's just that . . . Well Clara is a Cleric of Iomede and Steve's new spell was "Slay sickly orphan boy." I mean . . . 18 charisma or no . . . just, wrong, right?

Strange, she told me that she was a priestess of Callistria, not Iomedae. Oh, and my new spell? Praise Be to Razmir, nothing too nasty. ;)

Yes, many of the philosophies are legal choices-- so long as you aren't a cleric. Also, worshiping Razmir is legal in PFS-- so long you aren't evil (and, yes, Razmir has non-evil worshipers-- perhaps not many? but he has them).

Actually, as far as I can tell, if you are a Razmiran Priest in PFS< does that mean you have to be LN, since Razmir or Razmiran, is LE?

Inquiring, but chaotically-inclined minds want to know. ;)

Since no-one yet has pointed out a legal source for Razmir as an object of worship, decorating your character sheet with his name can have no mechanical effect. If you have a "Razmiran" archetype or prestige class, check the rules for that option.

For both Razmir and Tamashigo (and some other similar things):

'Faiths and Philosophies' (has a pretty good section on following false and/or fallen deities in it, along with all the stuff on philosophies and codes). So far as I know, that stuff IS PFS legal, but is mostly fluff, not crunch.

On the other hand, because Razmir is a false god, it still isn't going to have (much of) a mechanical effect anyway (false and/or dead gods explicitly cannot grant any divine powers/spells/etc to their worshippers).

That's why you must be a Sorcerer or Bard to be a Razmiran Priest, IIRC.

Yes its essentially the Shinto of Golarion which seemed appropriate for the character. I'm not really a fan of the core gods so I'll probably leave it blank since I don't need a deity for a wizard. I have the guide but I wanted to get a second opinion to catch things I missed (like Tamashigo). I can provide the rules but I'll keep that in mind if I'm away from the local group.

It's a legal choice for anyone that's not a cleric.

Well, just as legal as worshiping Razmir, which you also cannot write in your deity box legally.

Say what? Where does it tell me that my Razmiran Priest cannot worship Razmir?

Razmir is the source of all that is good and beneficial. Those other so-called deities, who are not living gods, just make their followers dependent on them, instead of making them upright and stand-up types, like us Razmiran Priests are.

I feel like a Razmiran Priest could get quite a bit of mileage out of the vestments, what with having False Focus and all...

Exactly what I was thinking, False Focus and a gold holy symbol, gives free castings of Heart of the Metal for any of the special materials.

Then again, for my Razmiran Priest, one of his first purchases was a gold holy symbol...

And a spare...

The Sczarni would be more likely to set up shop in the town and then work dozens of small scams in order to milk as much gold from the populace as they possibly could without being fingered for the crimes. They're more subtle than kill-everyone-and-burn-the-town-to-the-ground.

You can only get money from a dead man (or woman) once. You can keep bilking a live man whenever he has saved up enough money to make it worth the effort to skin him again. Call it a Modus Vivendi.

However, as mentioned, the Aspis Consortium appears to be of the short-term profit group, and, if your friend is from Tien, their sometime allies, the Golden League, tend to have the same Modus Operandi...

Besides, given the sheer ... lack of competence ... witnessed from most Aspis and Golden League agents, raiding a town seems about the right difficulty for their minds to comprehend.

Kitsune Sorcerer, undead bloodline, Razmiran Priest archetype.

Speaks Common with a Tian accent.

Always wears a full set of robes and a mask (Razmiran holy symbol). The mask sometimes sits on his face strangely, sometimes it sits on his face perfectly. Mask is gold, but painted the appropriate color for his rank in the Razmiran hierarchy.

Can't wait to run him with his Mythic powers....

Although he doesn't have a single spell that has a Mythic version, other than Magic Missile, which comes from a Page of Spell Knowledge...

I am a Priest of the Living God, Razmir. I am not as good at casting those healing spells as I shall be, but I do my best.

Sorcerer, Razmiran Priest archetype. Just for a couple of added weirdnesses, he has the Undead bloodline, and he is a kitsune, although it is hard to tell with his mask on. And he never takes it off...
