Vildeis and mythic abilities in her "realm"


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So, there is statblock of Vildeis in Bestiary 4.
As a typical demigod, she have the mythic version of some abilities in her realm, but, you know, she doesn't have one!

"Vildeis has no home among the planes, and forgoes any comforts - even those as basic as shelter or company - so long as there is evil afoot in the multiverse"

Arshea doesn't have her own realm as well, but she has Nomadic (Ex) ability.

Any clarification for Cardinal Martyr?

I'd say that Vildeis should have something like the Nomadic ability as well. In Bestiary 4, we were still working out how demigod stats worked, and the empyreal lords ended up being developed in a sort of "silo" apart from the rest so there's some weirdness with the way their stats ended up in Bestiary 4. (As a side note, this is sort of how Cernunnos ended up in Bestiary 4, even though we'd never mentioned him as being one of the Empyreal lords before in any product, and why the empyreal lords in Bestiary 4 have lower ability scores overall when compared to other demigods in that book—we had to split up development duty on that book between multiple folks due to a compressed schedule, alas.) By the time we were on Bestiary 6, the method of building their stats had standardized along the lines used for other demigods in Bestiary 4.


Why is this in the Adventure Path forum?

My guess is that the original poster posted in the wrong forum, but it's a pretty cut-and-dried question/answer, so no big deal. Flag it for being in the wrong forum, I guess.

Wasn't Cernunnos mentioned in bestiary 1 empyreal lord sidebar and Chronicles of the Righteous or am I getting confused here?
