Agents of Evil Rules Questions Thread

[santherus]

I just purchased agents of evil, and thought that it's be useful to have a single place to list/discuss Rules Questions arising. Here's my Starter (I'm keen to play a NE Insinuator Antipaladin, and these questions came up whilst I was reading through the archetype):

Insinuator Antipaladin - Ambitious Bond
How does 'bonded weapon' function if I'm Neutral Evil and have invoked a True Neutral Outsider? May I add as my first special ability anything I please due to there being no appropriate 'Neutral' weapon special ability, or should I choose from any of Anarchic/Axiomatic/Unholy?

Outsider Servant
If the servant dies, do I still receive another servant the following day, or do I need to wait for 30 days as per the normal Antipaladin rules? If the 30-days applied, does that apply to all servants, or just for servants appropriate to that alignment? If so, are the death penalties 'to hit', etc. cumulative?

Ambitious Bond: I believe you skip the aligned step and go directly to "whatever you want".

Outsider Servant: "You gain a new servant each day" seems pretty clear. The penalty doesn't seem to be removed, although I'd probavbly house-rule it away (or call it a curse from the patron who sent it). Since it doesn't say it stacks with itself, despite being untyped, I think you only take it once (counting its duration from the last servant's death you've had).

Good calls.

In passing, I also note that the Archetype doesn't provide Diplomacy as a class skill, meaning that either you need to snag an appropriate trait, or will be reliant on knowledge religion each morning for non-aligned invocation.

.. The archetype also doesn't have 'knowledge (planes)' as a class skill, which feels like an oversight - knowledge (religion) seems out of place.

Still reading the book - seems good so far.

100% agreed. ^_^
