First of all, River Tam should be in charge of revising the Bible and the Koran. Religion would be more interesting if it encouraged people to think like River.
Second Mal was NG, became CG after the war out of resentment. Had his side won he would have probably ended up LG. He definately has his own moral compass
In ranking attractiveness (not hotness because she is Kaylee is too cute to be hot) I would go with Kaylee, River, Inara, YoSaffBridge, Zoe.
All the Best,
Kerney

That I'm ranking the uber-hot Morena Baccarin last on this list tells you how crazy gorgeous the actresses on that show were. Although I am among the few who seems to prefer her short hair on V...Anna might have moved up a couple of slots on the listing.
Ranking the hotness of women is an exersice in futility.
But if you must, then the hotness of
Morena Baccarin = Summer Glau = Christina Hendricks = Jewel Staite = Gina Torres.
Any other rankings are flat out wrong.

Because the definition of slavery is much broader than "a practice of beating the hell out of someone...
That's not the generally accepted definition. You can't defend slavery by saying that a child that eats its peas is a slave so it's okay.
But since we're playing the "use the definition we need to win our argument" game: I've heard marriage be described as a dressed-up form of prostitution more than once, so there.
Pea-slave, meet Wife-prostitute! FIGHT!

John was Richard's brother. Richard gallivanted off to another country, leaving some commoner behind as Justicar, mostly as a slap in the face towards his younger brother. John, as someone who was in line for the throne, decided to assert his right, and being rather popular in London, took over the position while Richard was explicitly not doing his job as King, and upon Richard's return to England, John was named heir presumptive, and became the legitimate king of England in 1199, ruling for nearly 20 years.
IN WHAT WAY was John not the rightful ruler?
In that John overrode his brother's authority when he overthrew the Justicar in power and took it for himself. He was not entiteled to the position he claimed when he claimed it. If Richard was dead, as I understand this version of Robin Hood, he would not have opposed John. He opposed John because John was overstepping his authority.
Which doesn't magically destroy all the common laws against robbery, assault, theft, murder, etc.
He saw it as war. Lots of things change in war. He raided enemy strongholds to take their resources and killed important enemy soldiers. He was fighting a war for what he saw as the rightful ruler. He was not random with what he took. He staged a deliberate guerilla war; one he did not want to fight but was honor-bound to perform.
There are lots of ways to view him. This is only one. The fact that he performed a gurrilla war agaisnt though does not prevent him from being lawful.

If a Smurf smurfs in the Forest, and another Smurf pays him, is it immoral?
See, that's the reason there are no smurf hookers around: Having a smurf john approach a smurf hooker and say: "Hey, I have a smurfing proposition: First, we smurf, then you smurf me while I smurf, and then I smurf you smurfingly! How much do I have to smurf for that?" the poor girl doesn't know where to start working up an estimate because she won't know what the guy wants until he shows her.

But is Smurfette a pee slave?

And I personally am disappointed that the 1e Random Harlot Table wasn't in the GMG, but that's just me.
No, not just you. I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. What was on that table? Street names? Specialisations? STDs? Price? Adventure hooks?

For the robin hood discussion, i want to add that following the law of the land is not a requirement for lawful characters. They only need to follow some method/rules to they behavior.
A tipical example is Batman, who breaks laws all the time, but adheres to a strict moral code making him lawful good.
BOOM: Firefly, Robin Hood, Hookers and BATMAN in this thread.

That's right, in some parts of Europe (I am certain of Germany) blood splatter causes material to be flagged as "adult." (Correctly, IMHO)
Yep. I would agree with your agreement, were it not for the fact that this aversion to violence is as overblown as the USA's aversion for sexuality.

I meant sexual turn-off. A profane prostitute would not work for me. "Just f&+&ing f!$~ me you f&@*in a+$~! and be done with it." Would have me demand my money back ;-)

You've clearly never seen her face. She looks like Beavis' sister. She looks like she has downs, her forehead takes up like half her head, she has an underbite you can surf on, and an adams apple bigger than mine.

What about the prostitutes?
This thread is on FIRE!Man in Black Rambles
The thread moves on Robin Hood
is a prostitute?
To bring it full circle again:
Kaylee: Look, they got boy whores! Isn't that thoughtful? Wonder if they service girlfolk at all.
Kaylee: Everyone's got somebody. Wash, tell me I'm pretty.
Wash: Were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion.
Kaylee: 'Cause I'm pretty?
Wash: 'Cause you're pretty.

I am no poet
All my poems have this fault
They end with too many syllables.
I'll try again:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This line doesn't rhyme
And neither does this one.
See? That's why regular bard isn't for me (and my singing voice is registered as a weapon). I'll have to make do with jester.
How many hookers does it take to change a light bulb?

Ernest Mueller wrote:If a hint of prostitution drives you batty, then obviously you don't use any of the Adventure Paths or other adventures, or know much about Golarion...The point was made, and I think correctly, that the core rules should be as setting-neutral as possible. By that logic, ALL traits related to specific Golarion faiths should remain in campaign-setting supplements, rather than in the core rules (indeed, I'd like to see the stuff about the individual gods be moved out of the core rules and into the setting publications -- it's driving me nuts to have all the players assuming that the Golarion-specific gods are default for non-Golarion homebrew settings).
So, I'm "no" on censorship for "moral" reasons, but "yes" on moving that trait (and any other setting-specific stuff) into the setting-specific supplements.
While I mostly agree with the idea that the setting specific abilities should mostly be outside of the Pathfinder RPG line, in this case, I believe that they do belong there at least in the sense to serve as examples of what a religion/campaign trait can look like (along with examples of how to existing deities might use sub-domains). I think that giving examples is preferable overall than leaving them out.
