Is there any information on the Tian pantheon?


Jade Regent


I mean beside the mention in the ISWG that there is one?

Yes, it says that most Tian descendants that live in the Inner Sea region pick up a local religion eventually, but what if you want to play someone who's not been here that long, or who wants to hold on to traditional values?

This is probably not the right place for this question, but since the JR AP is quite Tian Xia influenced, I guess its maybe still the best place.

Not until November. Click here.


the secrets of tao it turns out is already known in the west.. as alchemy.

Then theres the ancestor shrines. Like intelligent weapons, and ever growing.. oh and if you werent thinking about serving the honor of the family, it will make you :p
And maybe a ressurrection prestige-class, tie yourself to the ancestor shrine, gain nice abilities and be eternally ressurrected aslong as you serve the family well. Maybe youth too (hint koya hint..). But no immortality, afterall, what is a ancestorshrine if all lived forever? Besides, thats what tao does ;)

Justin is correct: We'll be revealing the Tian Xian core 20 deities in the upcoming "Dragon Empires Gazetteer," due out this winter.


Alright, thanks alot!

I guess I'll simply keep it generic for now, and make it more specific once I get my hands on the Dragon Empires Gazetteer. The character is not overly pious in the first place, so I think I can pull it off till then.

Any specific reason for exactly mirroring the Inner Sea core 20 in number?

Because the game uses a 20 sided die for most of its rolls, really. That's why we chose a core 20 for the Inner Sea, and we didn't want to change that for Tian Xia. The concept that there are a "core 20" deities for any and every "setting" on Golarion is kind of neat to me in fact. It builds up the number 20 as some sort of religiously significant number, which intrigues me.


20 is a very nice number :p
Which is the number media and authorities have been saying is the total number of dissidents in finland, just happens to be 20 very active dissidents employing multiple ips and multiple nicknames each :D
