Is Damiel gone the way of the dodo?


Prerelease Discussion


I liked him he had great hair, managed to paint him really well, but it looks like the goblin took his place in the art we have seen as well as the GTM vid

Plot twist: Damiel was a goblin all along, he just used alchemy to look like an elf.

He is no longer the iconic alchemist, but that doesn't mean he is gone forever.

I has many schemes.


art schemes I hope its art schemes. Wayne Reynolds' is pretty amazing I hope Damiel does not miss out with this demotion.


Maybe he'll become the iconic of a new class. Kind of like the shirtless evil guy who went from being the iconic Eldritch Knight to being the iconic Magus.

Hrm, speaking of Eldritch Knight. Are prestige classes got to still be around? Or are they basically being replaced with archetypes and alternate class features? I could see them becoming unnecessary if the base classes are as modular as they sound. And Paizo certainly seems to have been de-emphasizing them.


Dodos are still viable familiars, yes ?

Damiel, angry at his loss of status, vows revenge. He preps by attacking the other iconics who didn't support him (e.g. Alain), using their blood in an attempted alchemic ritual to roll back time to the point when he was the alchemist iconic. His final ingredient is the humors of the new goblin alchemist.

Bam, first adventure of the first PF2 AP. You heard it here first.


Humors of the goblin alchemist? Nobody likes goblin humor, it's all puns, and knock, knock jokes.

And flatulence, always flatulence.


Well, he's trying to get rid of what amounts to a stain, so, yeah, goblin humors are essential....

I think you're referring to the iconic multi-class character ;)

(Seriously, Seltyiel was originally the iconic multi-class)

Please say they involve a Spy vs. Spy type scenario. Well, Alchemist vs. Alchemist, so there would be a lot more explosions. And poisons and mutagens. And explosions!

Like making him the iconic Master Chymist, pulling a reverse Seltyiel?

Please?


Nine-levels alchemical caster? Four-levels full-BAB alchemical caster with mutated animal companion? (O please yes!)

Humerus bone?

How do you get Goblin Humor out of them?

Wouldn't that just make you cackle like mad and burn everything to the ground if you got it infused into your own soul?


Mad science is a noble goal.
Damiel, I wish you the best/worst future.
For science!

Poor Damiel, going the way of Devis. Maybe he will be put in alignments as well.

Since we're all mourning Damiel, it's as good a time as any, to dig up this old piece of nonsense, about his attempts to medicate some of the forum regulars.

Apologies to all concerned.

Damiel's Drink
(to the tune of 'Lily The Pink', by The Scaffold)

(Chorus)
We'll drink a draft or two
Of Damiel’s Patent Mutagen Brew
It works on any sentient race
You may not get what you ever expected
But you’ll be totally off your face

Sebastian Brony became a pony
But being earthbound made him cry
So after a snifter, of Mutagen Lifter
This Pegasister has learned to fly

Leprechaun Spanky looked tired and manky
He was constipated and cold
But one application of Lubrication
Now he’s pooping pots of gold

(Chorus)

Mikaze was frantic, a hopeless romantic.
Wanted Men and Orcs to wed
But after they rubbed on some Rootagen Powder
Now they're never out of bed

TriOmegaZero, the Caydean hero
Would pour anything down his throat
He hosted a hearty fraternity party
And now's he's fathering a goat

(Chorus)

Ashton Sperry was notably merry
From the Muse-Booze he'd imbibed
Till the morning, when he was drawn in
Inside the pictures he had scribed.

Mister Timitius found potions delicious
Wondered what could be the harm.
One too many deadlines, then we all read the headlines,
'Man Grows Extra Pair Of Arms'

(Chorus)

Poor Damiel, he became unwell, he
Self-medicated till he burst.
But with a final, defiant gamble,
He dared the Gods to do their worst

To the Cathedral he ascended
The Starstone pulsing holy power.
And now it's time to pack them all in;
The Church is calling Happy Hour!

We'll drink a draft or two
Of Damiel’s Patent Mutagen Brew
It works on any sentient race
You may not get what you ever expected
But you’ll be totally off your face!
