Thread starter Morrus Start date Nov 20, Morrus Well, that was fun Staff member. Product information View for more details. Gavriel First Post. Over the years, Paizo has become known for pushing the bounds of traditional fantasy in their storytelling.

Sure the system might be tired, but you can't deny the steps the company has taken to buck many of the tropes that define classic fantasy settings and provide us with a more inclusive, forward thinking view of what fantasy can be. When I first heard about Iron Gods, I was excited for two reasons. First, it promised to blur the line between science fiction and fantasy without resorting to hokey concepts like "magitech". Second, I knew that Numeria, the AP's setting, was a favored creation of Creative Director James Jacobs, this meant that I could be sure that he would give every volume his full attention and passion.

With so many books being published by Paizo every year, many of the stories have to be compromised on in order to meet the demands of their hectic publication schedule. I knew that James Jacobs would not compromise when it came to his favorite setting, and that dedication shows in the first two volumes.

My favorite part about this AP is that it provides such a unique and interesting cast of villains, really giving the GM the ability to go wild with the descriptions of psychotic robots and alien creatures. It also uses a large number of original monsters not found in any of the bestiaries, mitigating player knowledge of the enemies' abilities and weaknesses and leading to a campaign that is far less likely to involve meta-gaming, a pet peeve of mine. Standard creatures like skeletons, orcs, and ratkin are made interesting again by equipping them with ancient and often malfunctioning technological weaponry or strange mutations that keep the players off balance.

Every time I hear a player say the words "wait, it can do that? I only give this AP a four because I feel like it still suffers from some mediocre design in the department of the technical gear that appears in it it's mostly just inferior and more expensive versions of magic items that already exist. But I do like that my players are getting to experience new items and an unpredictable meta atmosphere that makes optimizing a character very difficult. It reminds me a bit of our early games, before people looked up guides for everything and knew exactly what items they planned their character to utilize from first level all the way to endgame.

Overall, if you have a group that's looking to try something new, or are looking for a way to give your players a sense of mystery and danger that your group may be feeling a lack of after killing their 85th lord of the undead, then this story may be just the thing you are looking for.

Starfox Adventurer. Second, I've only read half of it yet - the rest remains to be published. So I can really only give general impressions. You want to explore the caves under Torch to determine if there is indeed a lurking robot threat below town. Skymetal Smith: The fires atop Torch Hill have long been a boon to smiths and metalworkers, and your family is no exception. Whether you grew up in Torch or simply made several trips here with your parents to use the fire, this was to be your first time to use the torch for your own project.

You managed to use the fires to craft a small weapon or piece of armor from skymetal, but not long thereafter the fires went out. The violet f lames are as much a part of your upbringing as anything else, and their loss distresses you; you hope to find a way to rekindle the torch below the hill.

The item is nothing more than a valuable art object worth gp. Stargazer: They say the strange technological ruins scattered throughout Numeria came from the skies several thousand years ago. Technologist You are familiar with the basic mechanics of technology.

Benefit: You are considered to be trained in any skill used against a technology-based subject. If the skill in question requires training to use even against non-technological subjects, you must still have ranks in that skill in order to gain the benefit of Technologist. Normal: You treat all skill checks made against technology as if they were untrained skill checks. This may mean that you cannot attempt certain skill checks, even if you possess ranks in the skill in question.

Additional rules for how skills interact with technology are listed below. Without the Technologist feat, a character is treated as untrained in the skill in question when using it on technology. With the Technologist feat, you can use Disable Device to interact safely with explosive devices and disable technological devices and traps. Arm Explosive: If you possess a detonator see page 43 , you can arm an explosive weapon as a trap.

Connecting a detonator to an explosive requires a successful DC 10 Disable Device check. Failure means that the attempt fails, but you can attempt to arm the explosive again. Failure by 5 or more means the explosive is triggered as the detonator is installed.

You can attempt to make an explosive diff icult to disarm. To do so, choose a target disarm DC of 15 or higher, with a DC increment of 5. This becomes your target DC to set the explosive as well as the DC to disarm the explosive. Disable Electronic Device: Disabling an electronically controlled trap or unlocking an electronically locked door is easier if you use an e-pick see page Without an e-pick, you take a —5 penalty on any attempt to use Disable Device on an electronic device.

Disarm Explosive: Disarming an explosive requires the character to succeed at a Disable Device check as if disarming a trap. The DC is usually 10, unless the person who set the explosive successfully did so with a higher disarm DC. A failure to disarm an explosive by 5 or more immediately triggers the explosive. Special: A character can take 10 when using Disable Device to arm or disarm explosives, but cannot take Time: Arming an explosive device takes 1 minute or more, depending on the scope of the job.

Disarming an explosive is treated as if the explosive were a complex trap, and takes 2d4 rounds to attempt. Craft Int Those who wish to construct or repair technological items use the Craft mechanical skill in conjunction with the technological item crafting feats presented on page 6. Without the Technologist feat, Craft mechanical can still be used to craft less advanced forms of technology such as gears, hinges, and pulleys.

Note that on Golarion, NPCs with the means of crafting technological items are extremely rare, and it is not assumed that PCs have access to such resources. GMs are encouraged to discuss such considerations with their players before allowing technological crafting into the game. Linguistics Int; Trained Only A cha racter w it h t he Technologist feat can attempt a Linguistics check to decipher certain complex messages that appear in Numerian ruins.

This language is spoken outside of Numeria only rarely, and even within its borders, the Technic League has tried quite unsuccessfully to keep it a secret language. Androffan cannot be chosen as a bonus language for high Intelligence without GM permission.

Talk to your GM about more details of the town and its residents. Torch takes its name from the violet f lame that burns atop its central hill. The fires ignited spontaneously in ar, and for nearly a year they lanced into the sky, forming a purple column of fire that could be seen for miles around. At the time, the Technic League was experiencing a period of upheaval in Starfall, and its agents were unable to investigate the rumors of the column of fire to the south.

By , the f lames had died down to a man-sized bonfire, leaving the top of the hill blasted and blackened. This unique combination of traits made the fire a perfect forge. After a few sudden f lareups resulted in the tragic incineration of several smiths and their partially completed forges, the townsfolk learned how to interpret the f lares and f lashes that presaged such an eruption.

Rather than build permanent structures around the fire, they came to rely upon portable workshops transported up the hill via wagon or carriage, so that when the fire began one of its unpredictable surges, the smiths could retreat to safety to wait for the blast of fire to recede. In this way, Torch has sustained itself. By the time the Technic League sorted its internal politics out and sent representatives to investigate in , its agents found a burgeoning village growing around the base of the hill.

In this way, the League turned what could have been competition since at the time it still lacked the resources to effectively manage a remote site into a source of income. Over the decades that followed, Torch grew steadily, yet has never truly prospered, because the Technic League constantly revises the amount of the tribute it requires. Researching Technology A character can use the following skills to research technological subjects. Other skills may have research applications as well, subject to GM approval.

Heal: Used to identify and understand pharmaceuticals. Knowledge arcana : Although robots are constructs, Knowledge arcana cannot be used to identify robots or their abilities and weaknesses. Knowledge engineering : This is the most important skill with regard to technological subjects. Knowledge engineering is also used to identify and understand unknown technological objects in a similar manner to how Spellcraft is used to identify the properties of a magic item. An object with a Craft DC of 15 or less can be automatically identified and understood by someone trained in Knowledge engineering who also has the Technologist feat.

Knowledge geography : Used for astronomy. These secrets are not of this world, brought to Golarion with the dramatic crash of a colossal metal mountain from the sky, which scattered pieces of itself across the country.

While its barren landscape leaves little for trade, Numeria is famous in more civilized southern lands as the primary source of skymetals, seven rare metallic alloys sheared from the metal mountain that fell from the sky. These alloys are all useful in the creation of unique weapons and artifacts, and each has its own distinct properties.

Here, the barbarian king known as the Black Sovereign reigns unchallenged, supported by the perverse sorcerers of the Technic League and their gearsman servants. General Store 3. Silverdisk Hall 4. The Marrymaid 5. The Copper Coin 6. Garrison and Armory 7. Olandir Estate 8. Otterbie Manor 9.

Now, beneath the surface of a ruined planet, one of their machines has been found. Iron Gods: Ten thousand years after the events of Creation Machine, the Spin is in decline and the beleaguered slave economy of the Inside is surrounded by rebel civilizations.

A group of escapees from the vast forced-labor unit known as the Hive have stolen the last of the Inside's ancient warships and woken it from an enforced, millenia-long trance. Stone Clock: A hundred millennia has passed, and the Spin is dying. Its few inhabitants live unknowingly in the relative paradise of one of hundreds of Virtual Realities—'vrealities'—or they scrape a living out of the remains of the real world.

As the vrealities drain the last resources of the Spin, a rebellion which could kill millions gains momentum. In a remote star system, an ancient insectoid called Skarbo the Horologist has studied the Spin for several lifetimes.

Himself near to death, he makes a final journey to look his last on the object of his studies. There he learns of the artificial system's past, the real nature of the vrealities—and the part he has to play in their future This forty-volume collection comprises all the issues of an early and influential classical periodical, first published between and There in a valley that from all the earth the gods had set apart for Their repose the gods dreamed marble dreams.

And with domes and pinnacles the dreams arose and stood up proudly between the river and the sky, all shimmering white to the morning. In the city's midst the gleaming marble of a thousand steps climbed to the citadel where arose four pinnacles beckoning to heaven, and midmost between the pinnacles there stood the dome, vast, as the gods had dreamed it. All around, terrace by terrace, there went marble lawns well guarded by onyx lions and carved with effigies of all the gods striding amid the symbols of the worlds.

With a sound like tinkling bells, far off in a land of shepherds hidden by some hill, the waters of many fountains turned again home. Then the gods awoke and there stood Sardathrion. Not to common men have the gods given to walk Sardathrion's streets, and not to common eyes to see her fountains. Only to those to whom in lonely passes in the night the gods have spoken, leaning through the stars, to those that have heard the voices of the gods above the morning or seen Their faces bending above the sea, only to those hath it been given to see Sardathrion, to stand where her pinnacles gathered together in the night fresh from the dreams of gods.

For round the valley a great desert lies through which no common traveller may come, but those whom the gods have chosen feel suddenly a great longing at heart, and crossing the mountains that divide the desert from the world, set out across it driven by the gods, till hidden in the desert's midst they find the valley at last and look with eyes upon Sardathrion.
