I'm aware. I think what's most important is the line of text there calling him out as a unique servitor of the Angel of Desolation; in my view of it, he's using the statblock of an OGL BoF daemon, but not the fluff that went along with the original. IMO.

I'm not super familiar with the BoF daemons since I don't own a copy myself, but I did read through it a few years back, but I do know a bit about Pathfinder daemons since I wrote the book on them (Book of the Damned 3: Horsemen of the Apocalypse). As for the question: It's a bit complex, since...

I've been quite open in the past about particular flavor changes that I didn't like: 3e FR going from the Great Wheel to a nominally distinct cosmology largely based on the FR gods' domains in the Great Wheel, with the change being retconned in. Orcs going from LE to CE without little...

Had I been able to post a reply earlier before other folks jumped in, I'd have dropped a page or two on how I view both planes with respect to their alignments, but since I'm late to the party I'll provide someone else's words on the subject: I've always been a fan of much of Pathguy/LiPo's...

They also usurped the name of the Eladrin that had been in the game in 2e and 3e, which is problematic both for player confusion and in-setting continuity. I wouldn't be averse to keeping the 4e "eladrin" in 5e, but it needs a different name altogether, especially if they're seemingly going...

Why would we need to wait for an FR book for genasi? Genasi originated in Planescape in the Planewalker's Handbook, and didn't show up in FR till 2001's 'Monsters of Faerun'. I'm not sure why they showed up in that book though to be honest versus something more thematically appropriate like the...

Absolutely. Well prior to 4e there were already specific true-breeding lines of tieflings such as FR's fey'ri (a line of gold elf / demon-blooded tieflings), and if we need to preserve the 4e tiefling as an option in print, that would seem like the intelligent way to go. But the default should...

If they include tieflings, but model them on 4e tieflings rather than the very different 2e/3e tieflings, I'll be cranky. If they include dragonborn but don't also include aasimar, I'll be cranky. It's probably best to only include the classic races: human, elf, dwarf, halfling, gnome...

No, in other words they merged lore from the two worlds that were part of the same metasetting and were talking about the same goddess. Plus, the 1e lore on Lolth isn't exactly in any way as in depth as the 2e and subsequent lore. I see no contradiction in the 2e/3e Lolth origin mythos and her...

Paizo couldn't legally use huge swathes of non-open content D&D lore Hussar. There's changing something because you're unaware of the prior lore, changing it because you think you can create something better, change for the sake of change, or changing it because you have directives to develop...

That particular piece of lore appeared in both setting specific and in generic/core material. The specific legend of Lolth's origin as the goddess Araushnee within the Seldarine (aka the Elven pantheon) originated in FR, but that material was subsequently merged with Greyhawk sourced lore and...

Precisely.

Both in the Great Wheel and the imposed 4e cosmology in 4e FR: Resurrect Tiamat? She was never dead... And bring her back from the 9 Hells? She has always been there voluntarily...

I don't seem to recall you once complaining when 4e heavily tied itself into their online subscription tools, but suddenly it's a huge, terribly intrusive problem if Paizo references something in an AP which if you don't own the book referenced oh no you have to look up the free online resource...

It began as a flash of swift and searing white light from the east, in the direction of the Cathedral of the Chained God. Then, like the thunder in the aftermath of a bolt of lightning reaching skyward, they heard the sound itself. It washed over them like a wave, profound and wrathful, but then...

I think $50 is rather high, but it depends on several things: The Pathfinder core rulebook is 49.99 cover price, but it's also thick enough to probably stop a bullet, and the content is heavy as isn't fluffed up with blank space and larger font size. It combines PHB and DMG into a single...

[in-character]Hands off the jewelry...[/in-character] I don't want to spoil too much of the 1st Storyhour. Fyrehowl and A'kin ended up with three children, who are each essentially unique beings given the bizarre mixed blood. You can really assume that they're the only three in existence...

As I see it, coming from a 2e/3e/PF perspective, it boils down to the state of the creatures soul and body. Outsider: immortal, completely lacks body/soul duality. Native Outsider: retains body/soul duality, but with a certain spark of an outsider be it by descent, curse, transcendence, etc...

I'd be curious to know how the design team as a whole stood (initially and over time as membership changed) on some of 4e's wide ranging changes to long-standing flavor elements in the game, and how much of it was by their intent versus imposed by marketing. Initially a lot of long-term flavor...

Here are a few that have showed up in D&D. Fall-From-Grace - Risen succubus (PS:Torment and its novelization) Felthis ap Jerran - Risen ultroloth (Dragon 351)* K'rand Vahlix - Risen hamatula (Faces of Evil: The Fiends) Nalura - Risen erinyes (Planes of Conflict) There have been a lot more in...
