Re: Pathfinder Is Still Bad
Is anyone surprised in the least that the elevated nerds would grow into the most despicable people as soon as they got power, perpetuating the cycle of abuse?

Re: Pathfinder Is Still Bad
Well, in fantasy terms, they are like Wizards; inconsequential at low levels, weak in ability, virtually nobodies, forced to cooperate (good or neutral alignment) with others until...
... Grand High Archmage RPG Writer Wizard turns evil, because, well, they CAN.
Not all nerds become evil once they reach powerful positions and thankfully the good ones outnumber the bad, but those evil nerds give a bad reputation for everyone that resembles them.
Hence, "a wizard did it" becomes "a nerd did it".

This is why 90% of Wizard players are assholes.

I think in Buhlman's case it's mostly a matter of "did not adequately learn social cues and socialization at low level"
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

Power does not corrupt, it only reveals character.
Re: Pathfinder Is Still Bad
I didn't say it was corruption, I'm saying that being a CEO (or whatever his title is) simply put him in a position for his poor social skills to be more disastrous and visible.

While working on a villain for a game, and trying to decide if there's actually a weapon that can be emulated by the emulate weapon soulknife blade skill that's better than "be a soulknife who can wield, and thus form, over-sized weapons" I found this-
I am convinced that the writers for Pathfinder do not understand weapon terminology, and their artists do not understand weapon design. Especially when it seems to draw inspiration from the Indian bichuwa, which makes way fucking more sense-
Trying to figure out what the fuck that looks like brought me the official image-Waveblade wrote: Also known as a “scorpion’s tail” due to its unique, stinger-like shape, this short, double-curved blade has no hilt but features a knuckle guard.
