John, what would be the best way for me to deal with the socially and spiritually crippling inferiority complex my ASD causes me?
Well before I can answear that I googgled ASD and got alot of different things...so I'll ask...
What is exactly ASD? And how does it lead to a crippling inferiority complex?
In my particular case, it could mean Autism Spectrum Disorder (more specifically Asperger's Syndrome). I feel incredibly self-conscious about my disorder, and feel that it colors every aspect of my life and never in a good way.

Damn you for finding a loop hole by posting a 'question' without asking a question. Such a fiendish thing could only have been inspired by Cosmo. *shakes fist angerily*

I have brain damage. It effect my speech and gaved me mixed dominance issues. It was incredibly hard for me to interact with people and still is hard for me to interact with strangers.
The ways I overcame it (which I realize may or may not help you) is a couple of ways...
1) I am determine not to let it 'beat me'. According to the first doctor my parents took me to I should not have been able to get through grade school...been able to throw or catch or other things that require hand-eye coordination. Yet I always went and worked at those things. Sure I fail probably more than I succeed, but what is important for my self-confidence is that I will always try and always fight.
2) Friends and family...getting support from them helped any many ways.
3) Acceptence. Accept yourself for what you are. Recognize the problems and realize there are as much a part of you as your strengths are. Take pride in what you can accomplish with your handicaps.
Anyway tyhis is kinda of generalize advice I hope it helps you.

What do you think about how Iomedae was portrayed in Wrath of the Righteous 5?

I got no trouble with it. Not saying I won't change it when/if I ever run the AP. But than again if I ran for two different groups I would probably end up running it slightly or very differently than the way it is presented in the book dependent on my players.
One of the things people don't usualy consider when judging published Adventures is that the writers can't write it to fit the invidual groups to a tee. Rather it is encounter diffitculty levels to how NPCs interact with the PCs. All they can do is write to a baseline assumption and give guidelines.
It is kinda of giving two different actors the same script...while the performance might be similair there would be differences in how each performs the roles.
So...um...anymore questions?

Well change darkness to light...and that is how I feel. :(

Which of the deities that sponsor paladins (Abadar, Erastil, Iomedae, Sarenrae, Shelyn and Torag, specifically) would you feel this quote resembles best?
"Reach down into your heart and you'll find many reasons to fight. Survival. Honor. Glory. But what about those who feel it's their duty to protect the innocent? There you'll find a warrior savage enough to match any dragon, and in the end, they'll retain what the others won't. Their humanity."

I would say it is a tie between Iomedea and Sarenrae.
"The wind is blowing, blowing over the grass.
It shakes the willow catkins; the leaves shine silver.
Where are you going, wind? Far, far away
Over the hills, over the edge of the world.
Take me with you, wind, high over the sky.
I will go with you, I will be rabbit-of-the-wind,
Into the sky, the feathery sky and the rabbit.
The stream is running, running over the gravel,
Through the brooklime, the kingcups, the blue and gold of spring.
Where are you going, stream? Far, far away
Beyond the heather, sliding away all night.
Take me with you, stream, away in the starlight.
I will go with you, I will be rabbit-of-the-stream,
Down through the water, the green water and the rabbit.
In autumn the leaves come blowing, yellow and brown.
They rustle in the ditches, they tug and hang on the hedge.
Where are you going, leaves? Far, far away
Into the earth we go, with the rain and the berries.
Take me, leaves, O take me on your dark journey.
I will go with you, I will be rabbit-of-the-leaves,
In the deep places of the earth, the earth and the rabbit.
Frith lies in the evening sky. The clouds are red about him.
I am here, Lord Frith, I am running through the long grass.
O take me with you, dropping behind the woods,
Far away, to the heart of light, the silence.
For I am ready to give you my breath, my life,
The shining circle of the sun, the sun and the rabbit."

Where do little birdies go when they die?
Considering I do believe animals (and that include little birdies) do in fact have souls they go to heaven.

Craft: Telescopes, Craft: Astrolabes, Knowledge: Nature (I guess that would deal with the stars and such), Navigation
Also a high Bluff.

Knowledge (nature), knowledge (planes), or Knowledge (arcane)?
In a magical world like Golarion, why would you need Bluff?

I would probably allow you to use any of those knowledge skills for it as I can see arguments for all of them.
Sure you need bluff in Golarion...just because the world is magical does not mean you have magic.

That's fine. Not really a question but a clarification of a previous question.
If that is the case, the person in question being a priest of Desna than yes Bluff is not useful.

I really have to see that movie.
Anyway...no it has not run it's course yet....there are still questions to be asked.
How did I know Lord Fyre was going to use the song?
three possibilities...
1) You are a great and powerful psychic.
2) You are in fact really Lord Fyre.
3) It was kinda of obvious if you are aware of modern Disney movies.
1) Have you noticed this from the Blog where Paizo want us to raise Money for charity aimed to help Children? In so doing we are also getting some cool stuff from Paizo such as:
- $3,000—Caveman Reward: In honor of Ugg-tect, one of the games we will be playing in which the participants are caveman architects, we will put together a free PDF of a "caveman" humanoid race for use in your Pathfinder games.
- $4,000—Card Game Reward: We will release a PDF featuring the Gauntlet team members as new Ally cards compatible with the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game.
- $5,000—Audio Reward: We will put together a "dramatic reading" of a chapter from one of our Pathfinder Tales novels, featuring members of the Paizo staff as the characters.
In addition to these great rewards, at $2,500, $3,500 and every $1,000 dollars thereafter I will post up some tantalizing spoilers from the tantalizing spoilers from the upcoming Advanced Class Guide right here in the thread associated with this blog post
And Jason forgot to mention we get to see Steve punch him in the face with the gauntlet on Youtube.
2) If you've seen it what did you think of the first set of spoilers from the ACG?
2A) If you haven't seen it check it out (donate some cash if you can/will) and tell me what you thought of the first set of spoilers from the ACG.
3 How do you think the caveman race will turn out (hopefully we be able to reach $ 3000)? Perhaps it has an int penalty?
