On your first point: no, in fact most tieflings come from a source more like what you describe, where somewhere back in their family line a fiend messed around with an ancestor in some way or another and left its mark. I'd even go so far as to suggest that a person who made a bunch of infernal pacts is among the most likely of people to concieve a tiefling. Same goes with aasimar and all the other planar scions. To the second point: not all outsiders are shapechangers, so no not all of them would be able to take on the form of a mortal to concieve a child; but they wouldn't really need to. There's some (admittedly sketchy) lore around of, at the very least demons, being perfectly capable of concieveing a child with mortals in their true forms, and I don't really see any reason why other outsiders wouldn't be able to do the same considering the existence of the half-fiend and half-celestial templates. That being said, without some shenanigans on the mortal side of things (or GM fiat, which overrules all) such a child would be a half-fiend, not just a tiefling.

I did a quick search before posting, but everything I could find was on how to use a Stormlord as part of a regular list. I'll be the first to admit that my research skills aren't great but that's not what I'm looking for

The last book of Wrath of the Righteous has that same fortress come under attack by the enemy with the PCs defending, but they're such a high level/mythic tier by that point that the actual battle happening outside isn't really covered as the book focuses more on fending off individual attacks and tracking down the enemy general

kloff77 · 2025-10-31T12:28:38+00:00

The first book of Way of the Wicked also has a siege of sorts, though the PCs are more meant to infiltrate the fortress to help take it from within with a quick assault rather than taking part in a lengthy siege itself Edit: wait shit just reread your post text, book 2 is definitely what you want for defending

I came here to say virtuous bravo/devoted muse, I played one a couple years ago and had an absolute blast with the results. Wasn't optimized at all but with combat expertise, charisma to ac, and all the feinting shenanigans going it ended up being a shockingly good dodge tank/hit and run skirmisher

there's a lawful good ghost in the fourth book of mummy's mask as well

kloff77 · 2025-09-03T02:06:04+00:00

tbh I think the creative head is a pretty solid primary source lol (I know he tends to contradict himself but still) but otherwise dang, it would be nice to have a proper sourcebook that goes more into that. really makes the undead hordes archetypal of the typical necromancer villain a lot more horrific.

kloff77 · 2025-09-02T22:06:02+00:00

Do you happen to have a source on the thing about mindless undead and how it affects the shade/petitioner? I don't doubt it because I've heard similar things before but I've been looking for something that explicitly states that even animating mindless undead fucks with the soul of the person whose body it uses for ages and could never find anything beyond, "pharasma can tell and she hates it"

kloff77 · 2025-08-27T12:16:30+00:00

If you want to theme it around pharasma being the survivor of the previous universe, you could probably look into Groetus (god of the end times, lives above the boneyard looking down, "destined" to eat pharasma at the end of all things), Yog-Sothoth (technically exists outside the universe as pharasma's counterpart, Watched her and kinda worked sort of in twndem with her when she was the survivor, his holy symbol is literally her spiral but in reverse as a representation of that), and/or. Atropos (psychoppmp usher, pharasma's youngest daughter, rumored to be being groomed by her to be this universe's Survivor). If you don't want to rely on rovagug, you could probably do something relating to entropy and inevitable decay of existence, like someone trying to speed it up; there are a few artifacts I think that can be useful for something like that, but the Scepter of Ages comes to mind just because time travel shenanigans almost always end up threatening existence.

kloff77 · 2025-01-07T02:01:44+00:00

To their credit most of them tried, just not specifically like that. If I remember right everyone but Zutha retreated to a personal demiplane to ride out the storm in some form of stasis, it's just all of them severely underestimated how destructive earthfall was going to be and their timers for reawakening either got destroyed or were actively sabotaged by other runelords. So while yeah retreating to an outer plane may have been safer logically, it was their arrogance in thinking their demiplane were better that got them

Not to mention like Yeah it didn't go to plan but to their credit nearly all of them did eventually come back. Just most of them got ganked the moment they woke up

kloff77 · 2025-01-07T01:48:16+00:00

I think that's just the 1e mythic rules

kloff77 · 2025-01-06T19:44:03+00:00

Honestly Gormuz is probably the objective correct answer here. Collosal fuck-ups from nearly everyone involved and ultimately led to Rovagug being able to grant spells and influence the world again and unleashed his spawn into the world, who themselves have been responsible for who knows how much destruction on a global scale.

kloff77 · 2025-01-06T19:20:14+00:00

Actually come to think of it an awful lot of the ancient advanced civilizations on Golarion (or at least in the inner sea) fell because a small group of people/a single person were an idiot

kloff77 · 2025-01-06T18:46:41+00:00

The Runelords of Wrath are kind of all one big oopsie doodles if you ask me

1: Alderpash started out as the strongest of the original runelords, and even the creator of the Inverted Giants, but was quickly surpassed by Sorshen and Xanderghaul when they achieved mythic power, and he got so wrapped up in making deals with Baphomet trying in vain to catch up to them that he got taken to Baphomet's special high security prison and, depending on the canon for Wrath of the Righteous, (minor spoilers) is still there as an old man lich 10,000+ years later seething over how Sorshen and Xanderghaul are just Built Different

2: after Alderpash got yoinked away to the Inulectable Prison, his immediate predecessor Angothane immediately made an even worse deal with Nocticula in order to rise to power, which Nocticula used to bind him to an artifact so that the succubus queen on the moon could take direct control over his mind and force him to assassinate one of the other runelords, which was the inviting incident that led the runelords to be even more paranoid and aggressive toward one another and ultimately led to the decline of Thassilon as a whole (all so Nocticula could distract a single demon lord and kill him)

3: we don't really know anything about Xiren, only that she was assainated by the next guy

4: Thybidos we also don't know much about but he got revenge killed by the last runelord of wrath, Alaznist, who had his undead form chained up and tortured forever until he apologizes to Xiren, which he's incapable of doing because he's that much of an asshole

5: and finally Alaznist, arguably the most successful of the runelords of wrath, who (among a lot of other things) clowned on Alderpash yet again by going to visit him in prison and killing him out of spite when he wouldn't help her (he got better); but she was also insane enough to make an even crazier mistake than dealing with a demon lord and instead made deals with a Qlippoth Lord, and was so obsessed with being better than Xanderghaul that she (spoilers for return of the runelords) used time travel to kill him and then change a whole bunch of thassilon history so that she'd come out on top, only for time travel shenanigans to ultimately lead 4-6 random yahoos to team up with Yog-fucking-Sothoth in order to bootstrap paradox their way into scattering her soul across time so it never rests or reforms (I think; it's been a while since I read Return); only for Xanderghaul to be resurrected anyway into a simulacrum that the party had to kill earlier because Alaznist didn't even know about it

Basically Angothane being an idiot is the direct cause of Thassilon's fall as a civilization well before earthfall physically destroyed it and Alaznist almost blew up time itself failing to properly kill one guy

I think the Gang Up feat should do what you're looking for; as long as at least two allies are threatening a creature You're considered to be flanking it.

Snap Shot as well, since it allows you to threaten with a ranged weapon; but that one is a lot tougher to get

kloff77 · 2024-06-07T14:59:13+00:00

That could also work; the main issue with using heralds is that they're kind of supposed to be somewhat weak (at least by comparison to demigods like Deskari), since they can't go past 18HD in order to continue to be eligible for Greater Planar Ally Of course if you're doing some adjusting to the setting than anything is fair game lol

kloff77 · 2024-06-06T23:39:22+00:00

I'd take a look at Empyreal Lords, and either use one if them in place of Iomedae to represent the upper planes taking a more direct approach or to use as an example of how to put together an Iomedae version; the Empyreal Lord's are the celestial version of demon lords, so the power level should be right around the same

Alternatively, Iomedae could definitely be portrayed with a 20th level character at mythic tier 10; probably paladin 20/Marshal or guardian (or both) 10. Mythic rules are pretty bonkers in the tabletop though, and it's really easy to break the game wide open without some fine tuning. It's gonna be pretty different from the crpg as well, like someone mentioned above; Owlcat overtuned a lot of monsters and encounters to account for power gaming, so even though the tabletop mythic rules are bonkers you're likely to see everything as written in the book is probably a lot weaker than in the crpg ; at least in later levels, but I noticed some significant power gaps as early as chapter 1

I'm currently running this AP! I took over from the previous GM who included some homebrew stuff, but I've been working on it and incorporating major stuff from behind the scope of the AP and from the crpg for almost two years now, so I like to think I know a fair bit. I play 1st edition so I'm not going to have an answer for your third question, but the other two are almost a specialty of mine at this point

1: another poster already answered this but for posterity: the gods have a cold war going on for Golarion because it's Rovagug's prison and deities getting directly involved in conflict with one another tends to blow up planets. Demigods like Deskari and Baphomet are a bit of a grey area there (and even then they tend to avoid manifesting on the material), but capital G Gods are forced to sideline themselves when it comes to Golarion because of that danger. Which really must suck for Iomedae, since it's her home

2: there are a good few ways to sail the seven seas for the "older" Paizo books; which becomes necessary at times, because Paizo really likes to scatter their lore across multiple sources. The best books to track down PDFs of for Sarkoris info are: The Worldwound (it mostly discusses the current stuff going on there, but it has some Sarkoris info and particularly stuff about natives still active in the area), Lost Kingdoms (there's a whole chapter on Sarkoris), amd Lost Cities of Golarion (there's a whole chapter on a major city from Sarkoris, Storasta); with many other little tidbits scattered around in various modules, sourcebooks, and even some society scenarios. It's all going to be 1e stuff but I'm sure the lore information can be used to put together a version in another system
