Seasons 1 2 and 3 are on Netflix instant watch feature and the new one starts Saturday.And I hope you're enjoying the new season of Primeval over there. I think we're only a couple of weeks ahead of you this time round...As far as I know, they haven't let us over here in the states watch any of the new episodes of Primeval yet... still waiting patiently, but I'll have to look into it via TiVo.
Whew. I've seen seasons 1–3. Off to Tivo to make sure it gets the new one!

By "chevalier" I assume you mean "cavalier." If so, I would call it the Order of the Rift, and they'd be built to be bad-ass badguy Abyss themed cavaliers.
Best way to kill a robot, drawing upon my experience in the New Vegas wasteland (and before that, the Capitol Wasteland), is to aim for the sensors or the targeting lens. Of course, if you have a pulse weapon, you just have to hit. That thing's usually a one-shot kill.

Show me a goblin who actually knows what PFS stands for, and I'll think about it. Then deny the application, since goblins are so weirded out about writing that the first one that WOULD be let into the PFS would end up burning down a library and that'd taint the deal for the entire race.

James,
What does one have to do to get cookies from Liz Courts (aka Lilith) these days? And on a continuing note: what does one have to do to convince her to relinquish one of her excellent cookie recipies?Simply asking always helps! :-) Also, coming to the aid of folks on the boards who are being vexed by internet trolls in a manner that doesn't lower you to the level of the troll is good as well.
As for the cookie recipes... not sure. I haven't pursued that line of investigation on the knowledge that I haven't spent enough skill ranks in cooking to make use of that knowledge...
I got a picture of a cookie, a very teeny one. I suppose that will have to do until I can make a batch of my own cookies. (Thanks Liz!)
As for the recipe, should ante up with one of my own? Perhaps I will bring a batch to PaizoCon next.

Dear James Jacobs,
I was recently perusing the (currently active) thread about ethnicity and racial diversity, to see if it had been Godwinned or burst out into open flame-war yet, and it brought to my mind some very interesting questions:
Succubi operate all over Golarion, I assure you, and are very good at blending in with the local culture and religions. There are some fascinating representations of Nocticula that they have in Tian-Xi and southern Garund for example...
Hoping for speedy rectification of this issue.
Yours,
Ask A Succubus.

How many blonde-haired succubi have been illustrated in Paizo products recently?
Calistria isn't a succubus, so I wouldn't count her anyway. And talking about "Great Balls" in a succubus thread was momentarily confusing as well. As for blonde succubi, we had some alu-demons who are blonde in Pathfinder #5.
How many succubi illustrated who are red-heads?
There's one coming up in Pathfinder #44 who's SORT of a red-head. She's more of a brunette, though.
How many succubi illustrated who are, say, Garundi or Vudrani in appearance at the moment that the artist happened to depict them?
There's a Garundi succubus in Pathfinder #38, although she's illustrated in her human form. We haven't done enough with Vudrani stuff lately to warrant a Vudrani succubus. THAT SAID: The inspiration for the "succubus" comes from European legend. There are similar legends from Africa and India and elsewhere—whether or not we'll have those sex fiends be succubi or brand new monsters, time will tell.
What steps are you going to take and when are you going to undertake them to rectify this gross misrepresentation of succubus activities?
Well, first off, we don't illustrate that many succubi. Of the ones we HAVE illustrated, I think we're HARDLY misrepresenting them—we've got blondes and brunettes (both fair and dark) so far, but we've only illustrated succubi three times so far. Give us time!

James, did you expect this thread to reach page 95?
Do Paizo staff have the same problem of losing track of threads when their dots and 'posts since' counts go missing?
Do you tend to subscribe to threads or just sort of check in on the boards and rely on dots and memory as to where you've posted recently?
James, how can you confuse the paragon of beauty that is the female redhead by calling a brunette "sort of a redhead?" :-)
Do you understand succubi and incubi as distinct races of demon or are they as in 3.0 the same?
If so, are succubi that prefer the male form incubi?
It always seemed to me that Graz'zt was the very model of an incubus.

So now I have this image of Graz'zt singing the following:
I am the very model of a modern demon Incubus
I've carnal knowledge animal, mineral, and vegetible
I know the Lords Abyssal and I quote the Demonomicon
From Pazunia to Nethurial in orders categorical
I'm well acquainted, too, with matters Necronomical
I understand equations altogether non-Euclidean
About obyrinthic theory I'm teeming with umbral thews
With many maddening facts about the fragile nature of reality.

Dear James Jacobs,
How can you not have attended one of the Great Balls in the Abyss? Surely Nocticula or some other succubus of rank has invited you to attend as a dance-partner on at least one occasion?Most succubi tend to bring at least one mortal, either to dance with and/or for supper, and some bring two or three. We have themes - loosely speaking of course - and those who feel like sticking to the theme dress as outrageously as possible to show off their wealth, their contacts, and their taste. (Decent makers of fire-proof dresses which don't show blood-stains tend to make a fortune in the run up to a Great Ball.) Somehow we always have music - whether bardic orchestra, chorus of tormented devils, or (one time) Charon moonlighting to guest-star playing a fiddle (or at least it was someone who looked a lot like Charon) - on most occasions there are usually enough drinks to go around (and we improvise if there aren't), and we always have real chandeliers with thousands of candles. They are the biggest, bestest, chandeliers in the length and breadth of the planes, and it usually takes a week for the charmed servants just to hang them up and light them by hand. (Something like that needs doing properly by people who know that one candle out of place, or worse still a crystal damaged and they will be lunch... there's nothing like candlelight flavoured by the fear and perspiration of the person who lit it.)
Oh, and once in a blue moon, one of the mythical Daughters of the Morning, the misnomered 'Greater Succubi' of fables is said to attend incognito. Everyone's always on the lookout for strange faces (somewhat tricky, given the inherent abilities of succubi) that could be a new succubus, or could be one of the Great Ladies of the Abyss.
Anyway, I'm gushing here, and that's quite enough for one post.
But I can thoroughly recommend the Great Balls.
Hoping that this has been Helpful.
Yours,
Ask A Succubus.

I honestly didn't expect this thread to keep its momentum going, but I did tell myself that if it was gonna die, it wouldn't be because I was ignoring it.
Once we hit 1,000 posts, I realized that it's probably something that can go on forever. Won't surprise me if we hit 100 pages or 1,000. All we need is time and an endless supply of questions. We have both.
I do sometimes have problems losing track of threads, but not to an extreme that I find annoying. Since I spend a couple hours on these boards a day anyway (partially at work, where part of my job is to maintain a board presence, and partly at home, where cruising the boards is USUALLY relaxing), it's never a big deal to sort of keep track in my head of the threads I've been active in lately. You can always search your previous posts, though, so if something goes missing, that's the best way to track it down.
I don't subscribe to threads. I just check in on the boards and rely on memory as to where I've recently posted, really.

It always seemed to me that Graz'zt was the very model of an incubus.
Succubi and incubi are distinct and different races. They can both assume the form of male or female, but they remain distinctively their own personality types.
We haven't statted up an official Pathfinder incubus, but if we were to do so, it'd probably build off of the one in Green Ronin's Book of Fiends.
My take:
Succubi are seductresses (be they in female or male form). They get what they want by trickery and manipulation.
Incubi are rapists (be they in female or male form). They get what they want by force and violence.
Of course, nothing says a succubus can't rape someone or an incubus can't seduce someone.
not sure if this has been asked or not, and if it has, I apologize:

Which is your favourite "Land Before Time" Movie?
It's a musical, and it has dinosaurs! How does one resolve this paradox without imploding?
Smack Talk! O_OSo did you think this thread would get to FAWTL proportions?Sure! It's a better thread than those ones anyway! :)
{hovers pointer over link... hesitates... hesitates...} I can't believe I'm considering Flagging Mr. Jacobs for dissing us FaWTLies...
Edit: By the Abyss, I did it.
Hey James, long-time lurker, 1st time commenter. Anyway, I was recently in a car accident and I was wondering if you could tell me how to make an insurance company cooperate so that I can get rid of my rental.
Thanks a bunch.

Why are you so jealous of the FAWTL thread?
Because he is a sad Panda. Thats what I heard anyway.[/Bill Murray]
Also lack of Chronicles of Amber equates to a lack of good old scifi fantasy. Its its like the smores of fantasy novels.
Which are better, gnomes, halflings, or munchkins?

I've actually used sock puppets when playing 2 simultanius characters before so this is partially true.

By not seeing any of the movies.
Dinosaurs and musicals cancel each other out into a zero. The fact that there's talking animals in the movies drops it back down into the negatives.

Have you read the new Dungeons & Dragons comic book? If so what are your thoughts on it? When can we expect to see a Pathfinder comic book?
Haven't read the D&D comic book.
A Pathfinder comic book would be cool. I have nothing more to say on that topic at this time, though. (tents fingers, hums innocently, pretends nothing else is going on...)

My only experience with dealing with insurance companies from being in a car crash was from last September, when a woman rear-ended me on a freeway on ramp. She admitted 100% of the fault, my car insurance company (Geico) was quick and efficient and friendly in helping me out, her insurance company ponied up for the entire cost of the $5,000+ repair and the majority of the rental car fee (I only had to pay for the insurance to cover the rental, plus gas), and so in the end the only real inconvenience was that it basically took about a month for the garage to fix my crumpled trunk and rear end. And THAT was because I own a Saturn, and they're no longer producing new cars, so the garage had to scrounge up the parts from all over and that took a while.
So... my only advice, I guess, is to be lucky?

Having been in Kieviel's position I can give a little advice. I had my car totaled by a drunk driver while it was parked in my apartment's parking lot. In my case I was able to get his insurance company to cooperate was to inform them that I was prepared to get an attorney if we could not resolve the problem. You would be surprised how quickly insurance companies change their tune when they here the words "I'll get a lawyer."
