I actually like this take a lot!
To fall under this edict of Lamashtu's, one must be both outcast and downtrodden, not either outcast or downtrodden. One with a place in the dominant social order, however low-status, is not outcast. Accordingly, a Lamashtan can oppress low-status people as badly as they please within society - but must work to empower outlaws, pirates, and beasts as against society. While english is not my first language I just don't think it reads that way? Real reason is probably that the designers just didn't remember her edicts that closely or thought it wasn't that important. In world I could see her making an exception on the downtrodden part of that edict, since they're also used to breed monsters and such...
Even simpler answer, Lamashtu is an evil goddess by pretty much all objective metrics, why is it so shocking her edicts would be hypocritical? I don't really feel good with handwaving "Well my god is actually a hypocrite, so I don't need to follow their Edicts"...
Hi, so, in the new Tian Xia World Guide it says that most Jorōgumo worship Lamashtu as Grandmother Nightmare. However looking at her edicts the first one says "bring power to outcasts and the downtrodden", which seems to pose a problem with the way they treat the lower classes (which seems to be everyone but them), or does she just not care because all monsters are her "children"?
Regarding requests to swap out SDfS SC for HC... Does this concern active subscriptions and mine just hasn't added it to my orders, yet, or is this about people who bought the wrong version by accident and now want to change that? Because so far I see neither a soft- nor hardcover for it in my orders and I am subscribed to PF Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Adventure, Rulebook and Society... |
