Hm. Three "ask" threads I missed. Hmmmm...
Hey, just out of curiosity, what do you spend your share of any adventure profits on?
I only ask because I can't help imagining your answers will be rather different than the other iconics...
Awesome magic and fireworks and neat belts and diadems and sweets and all sorts of great stuff!
Any chance we'll see you in any comics soon?
Yoon.
Yoooooooooooonnnnnnnnnn.
Super-serious series of questions*:
*
If you could have different super-powers, what would they be and why?
(Assume corollary powers required to make a given power work are part of it; i.e. Since you'd need super tensile strength/durability to, you know, not-die when you made use of your super-strength power, you get them both when you say "super strength" as a singular option.)
Why?
If, instead, you could be a gestalt of super heroes, who would you gestalt to be yourself? Why? Which comic universe would you run around in? Would you prefer to be in that one, or this one?
On the other hand: BAM! You just gained levels in a Pathfinder class (or classes)! Which class(es) do you pick, and why? Incidentally, if you could spontaneously switch races, would you? And if so, to which?
Similarly, you won the super-lottery, and gained mythic tiers! of 'em! (And you gain class levels to match; please feel free to change your previous answer if this does so for some reason.) What path do you take? (Alternate option: substitute a single tier for a simple mythic template.)
Yet another query: you monster. Specifically, you (or less) monster! Which are you?! ... and would this have been your first choice? If not, which would be?
But the wheels of fate-time have spun again, and your everything has been transposed into that of someone else! You've just become a prepublished NPC from an official source! Which prepublished NPC is it?
What campaign setting do you run around in? Why?
As a final thing: blend any and/or all of the above questions into a single ginormous question: an optional blend of a prepublished NPC, monster, and some superheroes all walk into a bar... and out comes you, as a gestalt of those guys, the race you choose, some extra superpowers, and have extra class levels and mythic tiers on top! What are you?! (Other than "awesome" - naturally.)
Equipment is a non-issue (like adjunct super-powers; what you need to do <X> is assumed). Also note that any significant others can be brought with you.
"Official" and "Pre-published" are loose terms, but general expect something that has a solid publishing company and identifiable map/world/conceits behind it (like WotC for Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Greyhawk, etc; or Green Ronin for Blue Rose, but not "True20"; or Paizo for Golarion, or the Maelstrom, or the upcoming Starfinder; but not "the Bestiaries" or "the Planes" or things like that - basically things that people can find and nerd out about with you). Similarly, if it has a solid AP out for it, that, too, is acceptable (like Legendary Planet; or any of Paizo's APs). It should probably be a d20 variant, but it can be whatever you like of those many variants (True20, Blue Rose, Paizo, 3.5, 3rd; etc.). That said, if a Homebrew or otherwise "weak" entry just needs to be there due to compelling reasons... okay. Similarly other systems. Let us know why! Computer and video game translations of such (Neverwinter Nights and/or expansions/sequels; PFO; etc) are acceptable as interpretations as well.
Similarly, for comics, it needs to be superheroes that people can reasonably be expected to come across - "that one I made up with my cousin as a kid" is an awesome answer, and worth noting and why, but prrrrooooobabaly isn't the best choice, unless it's just so powerful that you've GOT to. In which case: sure, but bring us along for the ride! Related, the super need not come from one of the "big two" in comics, so long as the people and world is both recognizes me and accessible - choosing The Incredibles world is valid, as is Spawn (blech); you're not just limited to Marvel or DC. Similarly "standard" powers need not apply - so long as it is clearly communicable, it's fine (even if all the field specifics aren't clear, that's okay - knowing you're powered by our yellow star is fine; you don't need to know this, but it's acceptable if you do).
Finally, presume you have the basics necessary for a happy life. Your spouse, best friend, and so on, can all be considered to "come with you" (should they choose to do so) wherever it is that you go.
Oh, and one more thing: if you lived through a Legend of Zelda (as one of the Links); which would it be, and why?
Thanks! Enjoy!
So you never said last time, but is is true that your name is Wei Ji because you are named after the Tian word for crisis?
To be honest, I'd never given that any sort of thought. Between Tengu and Taldan, I've not spoken a lot of Tien since adventuring with the Society.
Given how my life's been working out, though? The name is right.
Sorry for the seemingly late response.
Some sort of 'time thing' Kreighton was playing with made a lot of time disappear somehow.
Also, if you are ever up in southern Isger, be sure to check out Doomland!
It's a fun amusment park in Dustpawn, or so I've been told!

Given all the rough stuff you've gotten involved in, have you ever had to reincarnate Gom-Gom into another body?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Also, has anyone ever tried to kidnap Gom-Gom while you've been adventuring?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Have you considered making your crossbow magically conductive? If you did you could shoot holes into them AND set them on fire at the same time.

Have you ever considered enchanting Gom-Gom?
In recent artwork where did you get that nice big hammer?
Gom-Gom doesn't need enchantments because he's perfect the way he is.
That was a much more funner adventure than that awful one where I had to wear a dress and use magic to go to a ball! So we went to the Elemental Plane of Fire and there was so much fire and they had me pose for cool pictures there. It was the best! You should go to the Elemental Plane of Fire too some time. But try not to burn up when you go there because that's not as fun.

Do you get along with Kyra?
Do you get along with Mersiel?
Do you get along with the pig-kicker on the left?
I like Kyra because she burns things with the fire of the sun. I always found it strange that her weird Avistan sun goddess and Shizuru are both the sun goddess though, don't you? Alahazra told me I shouldn't ask Kyra about that though.
Merisiel is fun to hang out with because she's a grown-up but she still likes to have fun. And I guess she's a bajillion years old because she's an elf or something and elves are supposed to be really smarter and stuff but I don't know if she really is.
I remember that other guy. Feiya said he was Seelah's auntie or something like that. He's really mean and bad. I wouldn't want an auntie like him.

Not that I know. I'd be pretty awesome in a comic though with all my fire and stuff, huh?

If you could have 1d4 ⇒ 2 different super-powers, what would they be and why?
(Assume corollary powers required to make a given power work are part of it; i.e. Since you'd need super tensile strength/durability to, you know, not-die when you made use of your super-strength power, you get them both when you say "super strength" as a singular option.)
Why?If, instead, you could be a gestalt of 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 super heroes, who would you gestalt to be yourself? Why? Which comic universe would you run around in? Would you prefer to be in that one, or this one?
On the other hand: BAM! You just gained 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1, 5) + 2 = 11 levels in a Pathfinder class (or classes)! Which class(es) do you pick, and why? Incidentally, if you could spontaneously switch races, would you? And if so, to which?
Similarly, you won the super-lottery, and gained mythic tiers! 3d3 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) + 1 = 8 of 'em! (And you gain class levels to match; please feel free to change your previous answer if this does so for some reason.) What path do you take? (Alternate option: substitute a single tier for a simple mythic template.)
Yet another query: you monster. Specifically, you CR: 1d30 ⇒ 7 (or less) monster! Which are you?! ... and would this have been your first choice? If not, which would be?
But the wheels of fate-time have spun again, and your everything has been transposed into that of someone else! You've just become a prepublished NPC from an official source! Which prepublished NPC is it?

Oh, and one more thing: if you lived through a Legend of Zelda (as one of the Links); which would it be, and why?
I'd pick fire control. Maybe super-fast flying too, but with fire.
What's a super hero? Is that like someone with really awesome powers? In that case, I'd pick me and Eomma. She's my superhero.
I'd pick human fire kineticist because it's the beeeeeest!
There are too many good mythic thingies. I'd go dual path with at least one them as guardian but I can't decide on champion or trickster for the other one. Probably guardian and champion.
I pick Huge fire elemental, but Ymeri would probably be a cooler monster to be but she's more powerful than that. Oh wait, is the Lady of the North Star a monster? She's nice so she wouldn't strike me down for asking that I think.
A prepublished NPC? I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I think maybe I count, so I turn back to normal. Ha! Take that transformer-beam person!
I run around in Golarion. Why? You're weird. Because I was born there. Duh!
I'd be me, but super mythic and the Elemental Lord of Fire with powers like Ymeri except for nicer and stuff and fitting for me. If you can't be happy with who you are, how can you be happy? But that doesn't mean you can't also be an Elemental Lord of Fire too!
I don't know what a Link is but is there a red one with fire-based powers? I pick that one!

Well I bet you must have at least said a little bit of Tien a lot of times, when you were saying your name. What's the Tengu translation? I'm always interested in languages.
I'll have to check out the amusement park!

Never have and never will! Gom-Gom can be healed with make whole if we have to, but so far so good. He's very careful, so he stays safe.

Have you considered making your crossbow magically conductive? If you did you could shoot holes into them AND set them on fire at the same time.
Seems expensive and not really worth it for me. Crossbows miss a lot. I'd rather gather the energy of fire and unleash an eruption of flame on all the baddies instead! It's still worth it to have a weapon for those stupid devils, but much as I love love love fire, there's not much point in having the weapon do fire too since if fire works, I'll use fire instead!

Hi Yoon, how would the following events make you feel:
1. lifting a couch that Amiri tried and failed to lift?
2. becoming (probably) the youngest visbaroness in the history of Taldor at the tender age of 8 (and a quarter)?
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
Did you know there's a Yoon working for the Pathfinders that's also a kineticist? She's kinda weird, though - she uses some icky dark energy instead of awesome fire. Have you met her?
I think maybe I saw her in a vision on the mountain. Alahazra says that there are lots of different ways that things could be that didn't happen and are like alternate realnesses or something. Maybe she was from there. There was a time when I couldn't control black fire that came out of me and it hurt, it hurt so bad. I hope she isn't hurting like that.
Well I bet you must have at least said a little bit of Tien a lot of times, when you were saying your name. What's the Tengu translation? I'm always interested in languages.

The closest approximation is 'Mirthful Evening-Feather', which is a bit longer and complex than the name would seem to indicate.
I... may have been a bit of a trouble-maker when I was younger. It's amazing how plumbing can back up if it isn't... properly mapped out or if someone gives you the... wrong blueprint.

I don't really remember that stuff, but it sounds pretty awesome...well, as long as being a vis-whatever doesn't make me wear that awful dress from when we sneaked into the ball.

Plumbing is kind of a mystery, but it must be dangerous because it involves a lot of water. And if there's anything worse than water, it's probably potty water.

So no adventures in the sewers for you, I take it? That's a shame.
Say, has Feiya ever taken you on a hunt with Daji? You did say that you spent a lot of time with them.
EDIT: You are so cute on that cover! XD

Any chance Gom-Gom is secretly a Poppet ?
Can you tell me more about that time you sneaked into a ball...?
