WORM MENTIONED?! That novel changed me, I can't believe I'm hearing about it in a Pathfinder video!

Definitely a prime example of the purely destructive aspect of CE even demons and quippoths aren't quite as purely destructive Also in the apocalypse scenario where Asmodeus considered the other doombringer to be worth letting this one out is a indicator how bad things would be likely the other will bring a 100% end to everything not a 99.9999999999% end

I think he is technically a qlippoth in the same way Sarenrae is technically an angel. Sort of a platonic ideal of a qlippoth, and the greatest among them by far.

Oh just wait. That's some of my favorite lore in all of Pathfinder. I've got a script covering that topic in the works. It's a doozy. It will probably come out sometime in the summer.

I think I'll create a very minor faction of worshipper of Rovagug who are not destructive that worship the aspect of the god before he became that destructive. And even possess a holy book of its creation.

That is an awesome idea! I might have to steal that for a home game at some point.

Exactly. Not to mention all the actual Lovecraftian gods who are canon to the Paizo setting. Paizo's writers really like cosmic horror.

If they're not allowed to create new things then surely any sacred text would automatically be considered heretical, wouldn't it?
@Podfinder3 ай бұрын
Good question. While the act of creation is anathema, I imagine that creating something simple like the spiral I mentioned in the video isn't something Rovagug would consider worthy of notice. Similarly, I assume followers are allowed to make fire pits or basic shelters for pragmatic reasons. Plus, symbols of Rovagug can cause fear or in some cases madness in others, and that is entirely in line with his desires.

I know it's a carryover from old d&d logic (and racism), but Rovagug's worship by "savage" small tribal communities makes no sense
@Podfinder4 ай бұрын
I generally agree, and I don't love the implications of it. The way I can kind of see the justification is that Rovagug's faith is actively hunted by most of the world, so definitely wouldn't exist wherever "civilization" has a strong grip. Small isolated groups in the wilderness would be more vulnerable to the "might makes right" mentality of his priests and followers. At the same time, "savage" peoples like the Shoanti who maintain large trade networks and social connections between clans don't see the same issues with Rovagug, even though they live in the wilderness.
