Pathfinder's morlocks are a fantasy setting version of them inspired by the science-fiction version of them.Care to elaborate on that? Like do they work to maintain magical devices that they have lost the ability to truly understand or something to that effect or are they something more akin to just regressed humans now little above animals?
Also what CR would you put Izyagna at?
They're not really involved with machines at all, in other words. They're pretty much freaky mole people who worship demons. They're a LOT more like the monsters in the movie "The Descent" in other words.
I'm pretty sure all of the nascent demon lords I mention in that book are at the high end of what nascent demon lord CRs are at. She'd probably be CR 24, I guess.

James,
i) how common are pantheists on golarion? A tipical commoner worships one deity, or a lot of them, depending on the situation?
ii) Is the Peacock Spirit LE? Is he somehow related to Malek Taus?
i) Pretty common. Most of society, probably, is panthestic to one degree or the other.
ii) We've not said. We haven't even for real confirmed that the Peacock Spirit was actually a god and not, maybe, a philosophy. We're keeping deliberately mysterious on it for now.

Hey, James, not sure if you get this a lot but I feel it needs saying: Thanks a bunch for showing this much patience and dedication to Pathfinder fans. They really means a lot, and nearing on 1,000 pages of Q&A shows it :)
Thanks! It's always nice to hear positive feedback! :)

Your first born child is 2 years old and you come home from work to find your child has stripped out of his/her diaper and smeared poop on the wall while his/her caregiver is using the bathroom.
What is your reaction?
My twin brother and I did that when we were kids, and my mom just went of the room for a minute. Toddlers are natural and quick muralists.

Mr Jacobs, you've stated several times in the past that Cheliax favors keeping the Worldwound open so that the Mendev crusaders are distracted from their diabolist antics...but after the conclusion of WoTR (assuming the PCs are victorious), doesn't that mean that all bets are off?
So say a group of implacable level 20s/Mythic Rank 10s want to give House Thrune the same treatment that House Lannister gave House Reyne (okay, maybe not THAT genocidal, but you get the point) and wipe out all traces of devil-worship in the country.
What kind of countermeasures do they pull out? Summoning hordes of Puragus devils? Hiring out thousands of Hellknights? Or could the PCs just theoretically sweep through Cheliax, kill off entire armies of soldiers and devils Dynasty Warriors-style, rule Egorian and liquidate Asmodeus' entire church?
Wait, scratch that. Is there anything in canon that could prevent THIS from happening?

Assuming the PCs win WotR, the Worldwound is still a post-apocalyptic demon-haunted realm. It's still going to take the crusaders a long time to reclaim and help recover the land... but now it's not an impossible task for them. So at that point, House Thrune does indeed have to start shoring up its defenses and getting ready for the inevitable increased attention from Iomedae's church... but at the same time, they've been running Cheliax for nearly a century so far and that means they've got decades and decades of inertia and establishment and all that. Indeed, Iomedae's church waging war on Cheliax would likely bring more pain and despair and devastation and ruin to the Inner Sea in 1 year than letting Cheliax keep going as it has been for another century. The church of Iomedae isn't stupid; they'd realize this.
So, I suspect that the church of Iomedae itself wouldn't start a war with Cheliax. If anything, it'd be more like a cold war.
As for Mythic PCs... what they do is not something any GM or Creative Director can predict. The fact that there's nowhere else for the characters to go at that point on a tier or level progression really means that it's probably best to retire the PCs, and have them move on to other worlds and other realities.
Whether or not you want someone to teleport into Abrogail's bedroom and fireball her to death depends on whether or not you want to completly throw out Cheliax as it currently stands and do something new with it.
I feel that Cheliax is one of the most unique and interesting parts of Golarion, frankly, and I wouldn't want to see this happen.

5. What kind of music do you like again?
1) You'd have to ask Rob that. I think otherwise because I'm pretty liberal in my world views, and I think that the old glory of Taldor is unpleasant and stifling and warlike and that seeing that regional conquering attitude come back to power would be viewed as a threat to the Inner Sea. Any nation that wants to conquer nations like Andoran or Kyonin or the Five Kings Mountains or Isger or Druma or etc. is not one that I feel makes sense to be the ones that the PCs should be working for. That's better suited to be something that PCs work against.
2) Nothing. One of the underlying aspects of being good is that you don't have a compulsion or desire or need to go to someone else's place and transform it into something you prefer without their consent.
3) If the GM gave that to the player as something to build their character into, it's shoehorning. If the player comes up with most of it on their own, it's creative.
4) Lamashtu is the most worshiped in that region. Others that are more commonly worshiped there would be Baphomet, Cyth-V'sug, Deskari, Gogunta, Jezelda, Kostchtchie, Mestama, Shax, Urxehl, and Xoveron, I suppose.
5) Dead Can Dance. Pink Floyd. Phillip Glass. Nine Inch Nails. Muse. Franz Lizst. Movie Soundtracks.

I suspect the canonical answer is that Paizo has not statted up Abrogail or her personal retinue, and so her personal defenses are entirely up to whatever GM is running this scenario.
Speaking as a GM - Abrogail is a 16th level sorcerer in her own right, and queen of the arguably strongest and richest nation in Avistan. Her personal resources are enormous. Mind blank, screen, and teleport trap are all possible counters to a hypothetical scry and fry - assuming her bedroom/personal sanctum's even on Golarion and not its own demiplane warded with a private sanctum. Abrogail is both rich and powerful, and is really only limited to what a GM decides she's limited to.
If my high level PCs announced to me that they were running off to Cheliax to kill the queen, I'd stop the game so that I could prep for what the PCs are actually getting themselves into. Abrogail's something of the scrappy underdog in this situation, but it should still be incredibly messy.
With all that said, a couple questions for Mr. Jacobs:
1) Let's say someone manages to kill Abrogail and, more importantly, manages to get her with trap the soul. How severe a response would that draw from Hell, and how far up the chain would that go?
2) Is Desna's realm of Cynosure actually safe for mortals to go to?

In the RAW it states "Most penalties do stack, meaning that their values are added together."
If I used summon monster 4 or above to summon multiple archons with aura of menace, would the auras stack?
For example, if there were 3 archons and the enemy failed all saves, would they get -6 to everything? If they don't stack, due to the wording of aura of menace, would the enemy only need to make one save for all auras or would he need to make all 3 saves or get the -2?
Would an aura with the same name not stack in general because it would count as the same source? Or would the fact that it is coming from different archons constitute it as different sources?

4) I'd love to do a Taldor AP... but so would Rob, and we have opposite opinions as to who the "good guys" are in that nation...
A Taldor AP works best with the PCs as the good side. Both Eutropia and the Bearded are different sides of the same coin with their own motivations, good sides and bad. A Taldor AP shouldn't be about helping the "good guys" win, but having to make a tough choice that has long lasting impact on a whole nation. A choice that does not have a clear "right" answer.
But I have a lot of ideas and feelings about that, personally.

Even though you're not James Jacobs, I appreciate your commentary on this matter.
If nothing else, it seems like she can put up a bit of a fight and won't take this challenge lying down. If her advisors warned her that the mythic party was coming to kill her, I can imagine that she would take them very, very seriously and immediately start planning. Her preparations might involve gathering the most powerful Hellknights, Asmodean clerics, and summoned devils to her side and being ready for the worst. Seeing as how a nonmythic level 16 can easily be killed by people of that level, she'd probably try to avoid direct contact at all costs.
I wouldn't be surprised if she has some kind of "High level people are out for my head!" contingency in place.

That's not speaking as a GM. That's someone who's reading off a published book entry.
This is speaking as a GM.
Abrogail and her entourage is whatever combination of classes,templates, and/or mythic ranks as I feel she needs to be depending on what kind of challenge she is going to present.

The mythological Orcus isn't a fat animal-headed demon who wields a death-dealing wand. That version of Orcus would normally be protected under WotC's intellectual property... but they gave permission to Necromancer Games to use that version in the Tome of Horrors, so they went and statted up that version of Orcus in an open-license product. That's the only reason you even see us mentioning Orcus to the extent you do in our books.
As for why we're downplaying him? Becuase he's kinda been played out. Of ALL the game's demon lords over the past 40 years, Orcus has been used the most. Beyond Dead Gods, he was also the main bad guy of the Bloodstone Pass adventures earlier on, and he played a big role in 4th edition D&D I believe (at the very least, they put him on the cover of their Monster Manual). He also had a big role in our own Savage Tide Adventure Path, so even we at Paizo did some stuff with him. And beyond that, he was featured in a big way in both Slumbering Tsar and in Rapan-Athuk.
We've got 30 or so demon lords, most of which are brand new. We focus on those new demon lords because they deserve stories as well, and by NOT focusing much at all on Orcus, we keep the current stories out there viable for home games.
So, was reading back and this caught my eye and raised my curiosity about something.
In your opinion, why do you think Orcus, out of all the dozens of demon lords that have been created for D&D over the years, was so prolific in his use in official products?
And while you guys at Paizo may have no interest in using him in a story capacity, would you ever consider statting him up in a Bestiary or Campaign Setting Book just so he could be used by a DM who might want to include him? If so, what CR do you imagine you'd give him?

I got that, but I'm not gonna reveal what "canonically" she'd do. I'm saving that to the day when and if we do an adventure that actually involves her. Until then... what she does is up to you/your GM.

5. Thanks for deeming my WotR PC as creative! :) Any tips for playing an inquisitor as a trickster?
1) Correct. Rescuing that planet is a mortal task, not an angel task.
2) Help mortals who help themselves.
3) Yes. He is the Only Rob.
4) My music preferences are actually quite widespread. I'm pretty much not into musicals/showtunes, country music, and most pop music. Dead Can Dance is my favorite band, I suppose. Here's one of my favorite songs by them.
5) No prob! And my tips for playing characters are basically play to the personality, not to the numbers, so I don't really have build advice. I don't really like getting into those discussions.

1) Again... I'm not really interested in going down this "what if" scenario. Queen Abrogail is the level she is because that makes her a good place to be for the end of a normal Adventure Path. A "Fight Cheliax" AP would not be an appropriate storyline for a mythic party.
2) Yes. As long as they follow the rules and don't try anything funny, in which case it's as dangerous a place as any angry goddess's home is.

Nope; those auras wouldn't stack because it counts as the same source.

I think that for much of TSR's time, PARTICULARLY during 2nd edition, they were too afraid of backlash to do much at all with demons.
Furthermore, in 1st and 2nd edition, they didn't actually have a lot of demon lords to play with. Maybe a dozen. There were a lot more names, but only about a dozen or so that actually had stats and storylines.
They had those demon lords mentioned several times in various products, but as for demon lords that were used as significant end-game bosses of large adventures or adventure series... TSR simply didn't use that plot that often.
Off the top of my head, the big adventures that involved demon lords were:
Temple of Elemental Evil: Zuggtmoy
Queen of the Spiders: Lolth
Bloodstone Saga: Orcus
Dead Gods: Orcus (sort of)
(not counting the stuff we did in Dungeon Magazine)
I'm ignoring a lot of less high-profile adventures, such as things like "Shrine of Ilsidihur" or "Headless" or "Lost Caverns of Tharizdun" and the like since they're not "big adventures."
So really... the fact that Orcus was used twice out of the 4 big ones that come to mind doesn't really count as prolific, in my opinion... since the demon lord bad guy adventure itself wasn't prolific itself.
And when you add in significant Demon Lord things we did in Dungeon, you get to add...
Shackled City: Adamarchus
Savage Tide: Demogorgon (among many others)
Maure Castle: Malcanthet (among several others)
checking my handy list of Demon Lord CRs... I've got Orcus pegged at CR 30, along with Abraxas, Nocticula, and Pazuzu.

So if Orcus' fat-ram-headed-bastard-with-a-stinger-tail appearance is not OGL, why is he described exactly that way in Lords of Chaos? Is his description not copyright unless you actually draw him? And if you did give him a CR, doesn't that mean he's going to get a write up at some point?
Personally, I think he's prominent because his status as Demon Prince of the Undead allows you to heavily integrate both demons and undead into the campaign.

Hi James
I'm having a little chat with Ben Wootten on Deviantart about the Imperial Dragons he made for Bestiary 3 Box (which are more than awesome!), and when I asked if he had made some Primal Dragon artwork for Paizo in the past he answered that he didn't but would like to some day!
So my question is: Will we ever see a Brine, Cloud, Umbral, Crystal and Magma Dragon in Wootten style? :-p
I would love to see some Primal and Outer Dragons drawn in the style of Ben Wootten! So I hope you (or the person who goes about the art) consider it! :-D

JJ mentioned before that that version of Orcus IS OGL, because it's statted up in the TOme of Horrors from Necromancer Games, which is OGL.
It's Demogorgon and many of the others who are not, because they aren't in the SRD, and never got permission to be reprinted elsewhere.
