Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Faiths (PFRPG)

ANy info on Milani? I assume the obedience and such isn't different then the write up she got in the Player's Handbook for Hell's Rebels.

Ih her priests have access to the legend lore spell they can cast it to try and draw forth memories from their past Martyred lives, which is really neat.

I can hardly wait to get my copy of this!

Any information you can give on Sivanah's obedience and any possible extra spells for her priests?

What kind of cool things can Sentinels, Evangelists, and Exalted of Apsu do?

What kind of cool things can Sentinels, Evangelists, and Exalted of Apsu do?

Evangelists can temporarily give their weapons the dancing quality, and can gain a permanent animate object companion.

Exalteds can observe an area they just teleported from, and can teleport themselves and allies to designated safe places.

Sentinels gain an AC bonus vs Evil attackers and a a True Srike bonus* vs an evil target, or an auto-hit, auto-crit vs evil dragons.

*Typo... I believe, the bonus is classified as Profane.

You're correct. The bonus should be sacred.

Amanda to the rescue!

Just what sort of Obedience does Gyronna demand of her worshipers? And just what is her Herald like? We got a name above but no description.

Gyronna -> Spend half an hour making someone else's life worse, let them know you're involved, and make a demand of them before doing so to avoid your hostile actions (it can be an unreasonable demand/price, though). Gives an Intimidate bonus.

Gyronna's Herald is one of her daughters; Gyronna devoured her at one point (along with six other daughters), she burst forth from one of Gyronna's boils in a hideous form, and she is capable of twisting the forms of others (particular unborn children) into horrid shapes. Following her transformation, she became the only individual Gyronna loves.

(Added, related info: The other six daughters also did the boil-burst thing, but they became night hags who could hide their ugliness with magic. She crushed her next seven daughters, who Pharasma took mercy upon and turned into psychopomps. Her daughters after that she cast down into mortal form as changelings, though several of those, through wickedness, were accepted back by Gyronna and turned into hag progenitors.)

The obedience involves spending time making somebody else miserable or otherwise worse off.

Her Herald is a particularly hideous night hag who is incapable of assuming a beautiful form as most night hags are.

Gyronna sounds rather interesting!

What does Gyronna look like? .-.

Like an ugly hag.

A bit like this.

I was expecting disturbing.

I was not disappointed.

What movie is that from?

It's from the Argentinian short film 'Mama' which was the inspiration for the full movie of the same title. I think it's Youtube, search for mama horror short film.

Thanks Lord G and everyone else who posted an answer. I have definitely got to get this one.

And with Gyronna's Obedience, I wonder what her faithful are supposed to do when they try that on someone, get up to the 'telling them you're responsible' part, and the victim promptly decide to take a battleaxe to you?

It seems like Gyronna's obedience could lead to you getting your ass kicked and/or dying. Moreover, what if you're in the middle of the desert with no one to harass?

Does Gyronna's description make any justifiable case for her existing in the same universe with Mestama?

Yep. And I'll lay out.

Step 1: She exists.

Anything new on Mazludeh?

Nope.

I can't quite remember where Holomog is but I'm pretty sure it's outside the Inner Sea.

That one would be tricky. If you are alone, you are out of luck. If there is nobody around but your party, you either forego the benefits of your obedience or make yourself very unpopular with your (former) allies.

And it is a problem if the victim of your obedience immediately decides to pick a fight with you, since one of the requirements of the obedience is that your victim must survive the encounter -- so both of you must survive in order for you to benefit from your obedience.

Southern Garund; The Inner Sea region includes Northern Garund.

Ah, thanks.

But yeah, the only Gods discussed in this book are the 15 mentioned above.

I purchased this book mostly for the sections on Apsu and Dahak, and I was certainly not disappointed. I'm glad that we finally know what their main motivations and interests on Golarion are, and I love the Paladin/Antipaladin codes.

I have to say, I think an adventure path about the arrival of the final battle between Apsu and Dahak would be great. The players could swing the battle in favor of either god by actively seeking out and destroying important dragons and followers of either side.

Downloading! :D

What is Kurgess's Obedience? and what do his boons do?

How about neutral adventure path where you have to fight both sides to prevent war from happening at all? :D

*totally not inspired by Shin Megami Tensei plotlines*

I approve of all dragon-related AP ideas. :)

Does the book address just evangelist/exalted/sentinel or does it talk about other prestige classes dedicated to the god (example, Red Mantis Assassin)?

Just the Obediences and Boons.

It does talk a bit about the RMA, but from a world point of view. There are no traits, feats, archetypes, prestige classes, or stat blocks in this book.

Just sweet, sweet, delicious flavor ^w^

Would anyone mind please posting a bit more on Hanspur?

Obedience and its bonus, feats, traits, spells, and/or the like?

Just trying to get a possible PC together for a game in April and wanting to plan ahead, prior to hopefully purchasing this (and Ultimate Intrigue) at month's end.

Hanspur's obedience is self-inflicted near drowning or Chinese water torture. The bonus is +4 to Survival checks on or near rivers. The three types of boons are all spelled out, but no deity has feats, traits, or spells given in this book.

Hmm. So. Thinking about it. There's no easier part of Naderi's obedience? Anything on the Evangelist boons she gives?

No alternatives on Naderi's obedience.

Evangelist boons:

1st: Wave Shield, Life Pact, and Water Breathing SLAs.

2nd: Cause water to churn and become rougher for swimming purposes.

3rd: Heal somebody who is being held underwater and holding their breath.

They really seem to have forgotten that the 3rd boons are supposed to be equivalent to a 9th level spell. I don't expect perfect balance between obedience options, but some of them are LOL worthy.

The Mahathallah one was particularly odd. The upfront basic obedience stuff is insanely good, the 2nd and 3rd exalted boons are some fringe who cares stuff.

What does Hanspur look like and what is his doctrine?

The 3rd boon for a Naderi Evangelist can be used 3x/day for up to half your level in rounds. Each round, if the target successfully holds his breath, he is healed for 1d8+5 hit points. At 14th level (the earliest level at which this boon can be gained), the maximum total healing is 21d8+105 hit points -- so the power level of this boon is actually pretty decent if you have time for it.

Waiting for the pdf on this one.

How's the info on Kurgess? He's interesting, and I've wanted to make a Kurgess worshiping PC for PFS for a while, but I've got one point of confusion. Why does such a strength based deity have a favored weapon based on dex (javelin)?

It did inspire me to look into a thrown weapon based build, which is a lot more viable than it used to be, thanks to the Weapon Master Handbook, but now I'm not so sure. I'm thinking of doing a thrown build that's not Kurgess based after all, and doing a more strength based Kurgess worshiper who just ignores the favored weapon. I'm thinking a melee warpriest of Kurgess with the Strength and Travel blessings could be pretty good.

Or they could have given Mass Heal 1/day. Or buy a CLW wand. This is terrible.

Does Inner Sea Faiths provide news about Peace Through Vigilance?

To be more specifically... Are the Inheritor and the Waybringer really close friends? ;)

And also, with what other gods Apsu has a good relationship with? I'm fine with just the names.

The unique gold dragon Peace Through Vigilance is mentioned as Iomedae's servant and the personification of the limited agreement for mutual defense made between Apsu and the newly ascended Iomedae.

Supporters of Apsu include Iomedae, Torag, and Sarenrae and to a lesser extent Cayden Cailean and Gorum. Asmodeus has held inconclusive negotiations with both Apsu and Dahak for unclear reasons.

I've downloaded but not read it yet, but I assume the javelin is there because of it being a "sporty" competitive weapon, e.g. the Javelin toss in the Olympics.

Thanks for the answer!

After everything that was said about Peace, he is more like the manifestation of the deities' "aliance", and not actually a son or a symbol of love/friendship.

And that doesn't break my idea of Iomedae riding the Waybringer, not at all. *---*

Also for those curious, the only mechanics in this book are the Obediences, the rest is pure delicious flavour!

So no stats for the heralds then and no lesser servitors?

Multiple servitors are mentioned, but no stats are given.

I just wanted to pop in and say that I got the PDF on Friday and am absolutely loving this book. I've got a level 4 warpriest of Apsu in a Hell's Rebel campaign, so the six pages I got on him in here have already been very exciting and helpful.
