Because in Pathfinder, we've associated ogres with being pretty rapacious. Wrath and gluttony also work well for them though, but of all the races I listed, they're the ones who embody lust the most. In all the bad violent ways. One of our earliest Pathfinder adventures, "The Hook Mountain...

Cool topic! The seven deadly sins play a HUGE role not only in our adventure path Rise of the Runelords, but for our demons as well (demons in Pathfinder are the result of sinful mortal souls being absorbed and transformed by the Abyss). Were I to map humanoid races to the seven deadly sins...

That's in fact an error. One that's been frustratingly hard to expunge from the rules. If animated objects were intended to be immune to critical hits, that information really REALLY needs to be on the monster's actual stat block page, and not squirreled away in the core rulebook on a section...

One thing to keep in mind... Our adventure paths are designed assuming that the party of PCs consists of four characters, each built using the standard 15 point buy. If you increase the point buy above 15, increase the number of characters beyond 4... then yes. The adventure becomes...

If there's any one person to blame or thank for the Lovecraftian elements that have appeared in Golarion (or in the Bestiaries, for that matter, with things like gugs and shoggoths and zoogs)... that one person would be me. That said, I've actually really been hesitant to let loose the full...

Correct; violet fungus rot is called out as being a poison effect mostly just so things that are immune to poison know that they can wallow in the stuff all day long without rotting. The effect itself is a one-time-only effect per hit—if it acted as normal poison and did damage over multiple...

Sometimes there are typos. I'm pretty sure the rune giant mini is Gargantuan, and scaled as such. I could be wrong, though... Erik would know for sure and he's out galavanting right now...

Oh, don't worry. I won't. He's got more XP than me anyway. I need every single point I can scrounge so I can catch up!

Brevoy is definitely the best place to do a Game of Thrones type campaign—that region's pretty heavily inspired by Martin's writing, after all...

Lurking on this thread is where he is right now, in fact! MWA HA HA HA (cough cough choke) ... ahem. (and for the record, I've written 3 Pathfinder AP adventures so far, 3 Dungeon adventures, and have had co-author credit on 3 Pathfinder AP adventures... I'm no Greg Vaughan, but I try!)

That's gonna be one of our big Gen Con releases. So unlike most books, whose release dates are somewhat prone to fluctuation... I can say pretty confidently that Ultimate Equipment will be coming out on the first day of Gen Con.

Heh... nothing like a prehistoric animal thread to bring me out of the woodworks, I guess!

We made the "mega-fauna" category so we could present more prehistoric post-Cretaceous creatures in the game... for the same reason that these are animals and thus can generally only spare a half page rather than a full page. You'll note that the creatures we put under "mega-fauna" are ones...

As long as I'm at Paizo, this won't happen. And if I'm not at Paizo, the company loses their biggest dinosaur fan and the bestiaries are significantly likely to not have dinosaurs at all. I've never understood the "dinosaur latin names break game verisimiltude," because, if anything, Latin is...

Because they're more primitive than dinosaurs, true mammals, and true reptiles. And one way we model "more primitive" in that regard is a slightly lower intelligence.

I'm gonna RISK IT ALL and post a reply to this before reading the rest of the thread... I certainly know dimetrodon isn't a dinosaur. Just as I know that neither is the pteranodon or the elasmosaurus (both of whom appeared in the first bestiary) and the tylosaurus (which appeared in Bestiary...

Yup, and unlike Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard's estate has been pretty diligent about maintaining control. Sort of. It's a little complicated, as always seems to be the case with copyright law... but we actually have a pretty good relationship with the estate thanks to Planet Stories (we've...

While we did indeed tie flumphs to the Dark Tapestry, I wouldn't say that we've made flumphs a part of the Lovecraft mythos. I'm not so sure that's a two-way street. ;-P

We have indeed been putting Lovecraftian monsters in our Bestiaries from the start, along with some other creatures from public domain literature—we generally provide a partial list of these monsters in the first paragraph of each Bestiary's introduction: Bestiary 1: H. G. Wells's morlocks...

Hellknight is a good option for a lawful evil heavilly armored character. We have not and have no plans to update the blackguard prestige class, though; our take on the fallen paladin is instead the antipaladin archetype. We knew some folks would end up preferring the blackguard prestige class...
