(no subject)

Now I'm imagining the silent film footage that goes with it. Placards saying "GLOBE TROTTING ARCHAEOLOGIST HENRY 'INDIANA' JONES JR," then "Salah!" and "SALAH!" in Speedball mixed with "Komm! Komm zu M'sieuer BELOQ zum ziehen!" in Fraktur. Complete with "Indy" in really overdone stage makeup gesticulating wildly while searching his book of hieroglyphics and putting the staff into the properly encoded place in the Map Room.

Blood of Angels review

I'm feeling better than earlier.

Earlier this week I got a copy of Blood of Angels for Pathfinder. I already have Blood of Fiends and frankly tieflings are 'way more appealing to me - a noble hero or a morally gray character carrying with them the temptation of the worst baddies of the D&Dverse is far more interesting than noble heros descended from the good guys. And tieflings just look cooler! That said, the book offers bloodlines from several good outsiders, offering would-be defenders of weal more things to do well beyond cleric and paladin. The three real highlights of the book are the front cover (seriously. It's a badass front cover) and two pieces equivalent to the tiefling book - crunch in the form of a random table of unusual abilities the part-outsider has, and fluff in the form of a random table of how they're freaky. Good stuff.

... even if finding out that archon-blooded aasimar are known as "lawgivers" makes me seriously want to play one so that I can refer to all NPCs as "citizen," never actually remove my helmet, and bellow I am the law! Drop your weapons! while swapping out repeater crossbow ammunition.
