Sorry, I didn't mean to imply they were the sole founders, but I could've sworn there was something somewhere that suggested some Golden Legionnaires got stuck on this side of the Seal and teamed up with other miscellaneous fiends to start the Demonocracy. But maybe that was just me inferring...

Well, the Clergy started out as an insurrection against a nation ruled by fiends. Yes, it's called the Demonocracy, but it's also implied a lot of the founders were former members of the Golden Legion, which seemed to be from the Devil side of that arbitrary divide (they've got erinyes and...

I guess that leaves enough ambiguity that you'd be well within your rights as a DM to say that one, the other, neither, or both are originals wielded by Srasama. Their Pathfinder incarnations are as follows: First Blade of Srasama: +1 flaming transformative mithral longsword, with a few...

Weird. When in the past I've compared the Pathfinder and 4E versions, the only differences I found were strictly mechanical (a save DC in one is an attack vs. whatever in the latter). Occasionally something in Pathfinder explaining "Yes, this doesn't follow The Rules, but there wasn't a way to...

I forget, how much of Nic's backstory do your characters know? They're aware he was William Miller, right?

True, there's something to be said for conservation of detail. But I also enjoy speculating when an author hands me incomplete information, and the results of any such brainstorming are potentially useful to someone if either they or their player(s) want to add "find all of Srasama's blades" in...

So, in the published adventure, you see one in the Vault of Heresies, you can potentially get one out of a memory event, and it's mentioned (in passing) that Asrabey's sword started out as one of Srasama's. So that's three (though, one of those is a duplicate created by abusing the Arc of...

What if you go the other route? Make guns ignore armor. That way, people will gravitate towards light armor (fluffed as reinforced clothing) because an enemy with firearms makes heavy plate and chainmail irrelevant. Some might go for medium armor as a compromise, to be prepared for both gun...

And Quratulain-Is-Samus is further cemented in my head. :-) Weird that she, of all people, was surprised. Once Lavanya asked to get close to Greenteeth, I figured recombining into Kasvarina was specifically the plan. Weirdly glad to see Kas back, though. Out of curiosity, Gideon, when did...

Is it bad that I keep wanting to sing Dunkelweiss to the tune of Eidelweiss? I mean, it's... somewhat justifiable thanks to the existence of "excuses to drink" musicals and operas like The Student Prince or Die Fledermaus, though the show Eidelweiss comes from is well after that fad petered out.

OK, my own assumption was the opposite of the OPs, in that I was already assuming that, since it doesn't say "weapon" anywhere with regards to unarmed strikes even within Martial Arts, that they weren't weapons. I naturally assumed this meant, for example, that combining Monk and Battle Master...

Heh, my attitude, funnily enough is actually the reverse. To me, it seems easy enough to handwave duplicants or any of Oddcog's innovations away as mere flashes in the historical pan. Perhaps Pemberton was so fiercely protective off his patents and so protectionist in his business practices...

Probably? And coming from the author himself does make me think maybe I just read it wrong. But I had figured part of the point was that, while there's a strong case to be made for that being the right answer (and, indeed, a case I'm personally prone to accept), it's a bit like that damnable...

Pffft, what you do know about it? Carrying on like you wrote the thing or something.... In all seriousness, it's not that I don't think that there can't be further adventures in the setting, just that the nature of the campaign's climax means that any sequel really should be built from the...

Admittedly, I think a Zeitgeist: The Yerasol Wars or some similar setting has a bit of a similar problem, but at least it doesn't also undercut the original in the process. The fact that, as you say, it would function primarily as additional context for the original also suggests that it's not...

A few of these seem to demand more information: Definitely a broken oath: They break the oath for the lulz They break the oath for monetary gain They break the oath under threat to their life They break their code by inaction when fully capable Almost certainly NOT a broken oath: They break...

OK, so there was this ancient (by internet standards) attempt by Rich Burlew to create a campaign setting with his audience in full view of the decision making process (I know there's since arisen a super-trendy term for this, but it's escaping me at the moment). Most of it is not relevant...

In an adventure path whose resolution involves a small group (either the party or Nicky and his inner circle) remaking the entire cosmology to better suit their ideals, tastes, and/or whims, going with majority rule on what's canon seems a bit off brand. ;-)

I dunno, I sort of feel like making a canon setting set AFTER the events of the Adventure Path kind of undercuts the sense of choice and meaning involved. As it stands, no one resolution has any more (or less) canon-weight than any other, meaning that whatever choice your PCs settle on is...

@RangerWickett , now you've got me rereading that name trying to see if it's a pun that I've been missing this whole time.
