Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Planes of Power (PFRPG)

Dragon,

It's the one that counts. At least in my book.

I really hope you intended there to be a comma before my name, Thomas. The meaning of your sentence changes dramatically, otherwise.

Without Comma: No thank you!
With Comma: Only in moderation, please.

Oh, John. I would never set you on fire. <3

See, John Compton? Nothing to worry about. It's the rest of us flammable things that do. ;)

Commas do save lives!

Now with the elemental infused creature template we can have wind monkeys, earth badgers, water weasels, and fire pandas:)

And ooze skunks, ice parrots, storm wolves, and magma monitor lizards!

without posting the full stat block, can we get some hints on Ymeri's stats?

CR 28, lots of fire-power, doesn't stay dead, can talk to elementals and dragons, fights with two very hot longswords, has 10 mythic ranks while on the Elemental Plane of Fire, can teleport through flames, can cast any spell with the fire-descriptor as a spell-like ability.

And ooze skunks

Ewwww!

I really hope she has some type of ability to burn through fire resistance and the like.

Very important correction :3

Rysky is correction, Just two wouldn't be enough for her. 4 is like where it's at.

Also if I'm having ooze anything animal related, it's probably ooze otters.

I must have it!

Hopefully, we get some more from Todd Stewart on this one! NC represent!!!

I wasn't actually involved in this particular book.

But, that being said, as the person who originally worked on a bunch of the things that PoP covers and expands upon, I really do like this book! While it's always fun to expand upon earlier stuff you made, it's a genuine treat to see stuff you worked on looked at, tinkered with, toyed with, and further expanded by other folks, and PoP is a really, really cool book. There's also a lot of new stuff as well, both flavor-wise and mechanically. I haven't had the chance to really delve into the monsters because I've been in the middle of working on B6 and also applying to pharmacy school (and I just got accepted to one of my top choices today, so I'm rather happy at the moment).

Also, I'm perpetually open to doing more planar content should the opportunity arise in the future. It's my favorite sub-genre of the game dating back to Planescape.

Also also, the fire mephits were my favorites in TGB, and they remain so after PoP. ;)

Anyone have any tidbits on what an Elemental Purist gives up?

Suckitude.

Answered here... and here.

Thanks!

So still trying to wrap my head around this....so at 7th you can take infusions and forms not usually associated with your element ( 1 for every four levels) ?

But you need to enter a specific state to use them ?
What are the constraints on entering that state ?

I would love an Inner Planes Campaign setting book especially anything related to the positive energy plane. I am also really interested in the dimension of time and the dimension of dreams.

Good to hear. Let's go ahead and start a different thread—perhaps in the Paizo Products section—for expressing interest in other planar products. Let's keep this one to discussing this product.

If anyone is interested, I've done so HERE.

Yep, that's right. It costs one irreducible burn as a free action to enter the state, and it lasts for a minute. If your elemental defense doesn't benefit much from having burn dropped into it, this makes for a nice fight opener to put your burn towards something that will help the whole fight out.

If you're only in it for one or two extra infusions, you can take an infusion you'd normally qualify for instead and use it without having to enter the special state. (You might have a really good 9th level infusion you don't want to pass up, for instance.)

What are all monsters in here? Can someone please list them with a small description? Thanks

On page 5 around the 15th post down is what your looking for.

Makes me wish they stated the other 3 elemental lords as well.

Here you go!

Here Be Monsters

Does purist mean you can take explosion and use it with say metal, or does the lime about energy vs physical cover that?

I think that covers it, because otherwise there's not much that just says "energy blasts only". Disintegrating Infusion is another good energy only choice, allowing you to get it on a non-composite blast.

Yup, or on blue flame for an incredibly damaging flame that leaves nothing left (like a great wyrm red dragon's breath weapon).

If the elemental purist doesn't get expanded element, does that mean they can't get the blue flame composite blast?...

("Prerequisite(s): primary element (fire), expanded element (fire).")

They automatically get their own element's composite blast as if expanding into the same element. Particularly good for earth and fire, since they don't have a second basic blast they're passing up.

Would the chaokineticist be any good as a purist?

would a wood purist get a composite blast? It has no wood/wood composite.

Not great. You're low on talents, and only getting one of your basic blasts hurts you more than water or air. If you go with gravity, or don't mind sitting every undead fight out, it still works.

would a wood purist get a composite blast? It has no wood/wood composite.

Nope. Mono-wood doesn't work well, and this doesn't fix that.

Thanks. I'm sure if I go mono wood in a home game I'll atleast get a composite damage option. So I won't right this archetype off just yet (for a specific char idea)

You could say that wood does have a composite blast of wood+wood and call it "verdant blast".

Why not call a wood purist a Poison Ivy?

And Aether. They also don't have a second basic blast.

Aether only kind of gets a mono-element composite blast, though, so it doesn't get the same benefit that fire and earth does.

You're kinda correct.

Their AC is 20 though because their DEX is +4(18), not +1. So just that one number is off.

*wonders if Cinderghost will blast it way past stuff*

The cinderghost? Didn't that monster originally show up way back n one of the original RotRL books?

I suspect you may be thinking of the smoke haunt, from The Hook Mountain Massacre. ^_^

There's also Blast Shadow but that's unlikely to return.

Kalindlara, Mister Seitz, thanks for clearing that up.

Eric,

You're welcome. Glad I and Kal could help. Though I think Kal was probably more accurate.

Do all four Elemental Lords have artwork? What about the previous four?

They are all described but only evil fire lord lady has art. Though I think evil earth lord has art as well but is less obvious.

Even if it's not in here, I know art of Ayrzul exists in The Emerald Spire Superdungeon. ^_^

Kal,

I thought you had the book/pdf already?

Nope. I wasn't subscribed for this book. ^_^
