What's the challenge rating on a Sex Golem, and what happens if you cast Incarnate Construct on it?

the CR for a sex golem is either incredibly manageable and fun for everyone involved or far too out of bounds to be used in your campaign.

It seems like the only thing anyone at GR has shown any kind of genuine remorse over is that Lindroos had her vacation interrupted.

Yea I have zero doubt that the progressive poo poo we've seen from Paizo comes from a very real, genuine, place. The issue is the people doing it seem to be in an eternal cage match with the people who are still genuinely angry that 3.5 pussified D&D or whatever the grog line is these days.

You mean the only people who buy Pathfinder.

partially, yea. Can't deny they didn't absolutely court the grog "ARE YOU SICK OF BABY D&D?!" market pretty drat hard to start with. Not surprising if that's still viewed as their core demo.

One of the most annoying things about the 3E/4E transition was the way that so many grogs thought 1E -> 2E -> 3E was this smooth, gradual evolution that was completely disrupted with 4E (when actually 3E was the massive break from tradition and 4E was, if anything, a return to form). Lots of D&D super-traditionalists going on about Gygax's table and murderhobos have never actually played anything before 3E.

Yea that was probably my least favorite talking point that for some reason got treated as fact. The idea that from red box to the end of 3.5 things were a very smooth chain of building blocks that big mean 4E suddenly slapped down

Book of 9 Swords is 3.5 and is basically a preview of 4E martials, 2nd edition to 3rd was a vast difference.

Yea Book of 9 Swords exists as proof that the core 4E framework could be supported by 3.5. There's nothing even near that to show the same is true for 3E and 2E

It's been forever, I forgot, what were Keep's issues again? Was it just a boring dungeon crawl without anything interesting or did they put some wacky poo poo in it that made it too lovely to do to newbies?

as much as we poo poo on pathfinder around here even it is a vastly less bullshit system than 5e at this point if you literally can't not play dungeons and dragons

There was a Hunter Compact that hunted mummies specifically so they could eat them.

And I doubt Ashwood would be jejune as just eating it. They'd probably freebase into their eyeballs or something.

I loving love how terrible Ashwood is. Like, the writing is 80% 'lol I hosed a werewolf, EDGY!!!!' but just the idea that in this world of grim faced preachers calling the true light of God and secret black budget military operations there's just these rich morons injecting mummy dust into their dickholes because some older rich moron totally swore it was a great high.

Basically if your Hunter games aren't a tense alliance between The Union, Network Zero, and Ashwood you're playing Hunter super wrong.

Time for a reminder that due to the metaphysics of Werewolf, 'gently caress humanity' is basically the worst decision a tribe can make. It's why a lot of Revised went into exploring whether tribes truly hated mankind or just mankind's potential for evil/etc.

This is because, for those not familiar, the basic fight of Werewolf is against the forces of the Wyrm, and the single most numerous force - banes and fomori - is spawned by human misery. It might take ten fomori to down a werewolf in a fight - but it only takes one to bring about events that spawn a lot more. So this whole 'nah mankind sucks, we won't help them' thing is basically desertion from the fight. It's going 'hey, you know what sounds like a good idea? Letting humans suffer indiscriminately in the exact ways that will spawn many of our enemies, who already have an advantage of numbers, while eroding our number of possible allies in the fight!'

It's the dumbest thing, and every time a 1/2E Werewolf fan goes 'the impergium is objectively good' or 'why help humans' or 'werewolves shouldn't care about gay rights' they're showing that they completely missed a basic truth of the cosmology. Human suffering = more banes = stronger Wyrm.

My favorite is how the Red Talons, explicitly the most Wyrm aligned tribe who are VIOLENTLY anti-human even agree 'well yea we need to kinda protect those idiots from themselves even if they're stupid monkeys who probably are gonna destroy the world being stupid monkeys'.

But no let's hear more about how the tribe all about helping the victims of the patriarchy, doing cool poo poo like showing up as crazy gay biker ladies to escort abused women to safety and junk, and taking in Metis cubs who have been kicked out and all, actually don't give a poo poo about others. Gee I wonder why they picked the Furies to get this treatment and not assholes like the Get who, if I remember right, HAD NAZIS.

Oh I assure you the Get will probably be even worse. They just haven't stated their design goals for them. But considering he said that he wants the entire garou nation to be "Cryptofascist enviromentalists" You can bet that they're going to go heavy on the "Fascist".

he WHAT

That's not even old WoD bad! They used to be cartoon anarchist enviro-terrorists! The only fascists were the Fangs and literally every other Tribe treated them as 'yea ok grandpa you're the most pure wolf'

Also everybody over there really, really needs to understand that neither 1) an accusation of wrongdoing or 2) criticism taken personally constitutes a personal attack.

This is honestly the biggest issue, any criticism has to be done with five layers of eggshells around it because all it takes is someone taking it personally to turn 'I don't think this is a good idea and you seem to be handling it the wrong way' into 'a personal attack'.
