You’ll see

 

[Desiderius]

No, it’s Trickster

Care to elaborate? I can only find one mythic ability for the trickster. Looks like an enhanced Mirror Image. What else about the trickster path that gives you such a high opinion of them?

Mythic skillz

 

[Desiderius]

No, seriously. You get upgraded effects with each skill and they’re completely insane.

 

[Desiderius]

It’s shit like:

Mythic Mobility

Whenever your movement would trigger an AoO, you get the AoO instead of the opponent.

it's just a prank br(Ao)O

Is Mythic Vital Strike in?

 

[Lagole Gon]

He could use a crown though.

What is it with liches and crowns? In almost all the artworks a lich has one.

You see, a Lich's love for his headgear is very different from that of the living and other squares.
You wouldn't understand. It has to be experienced. Let's just say it really scratches that lichin' itch.

 

[Technomancer]

How would a fucking oread look like as a lich?

Google searched the image, goddamn, some of these skeletons are literal works of art.

Like a very grey rock.

Or, more seriously, Oreads in PF are really just normal people touched by the elemental forces of Earth. They have skeletons and whatnot just like anyone else. I imagine that an Oread Lich would look like a petrified, stone-like skeleton, perhaps with some protrusions and such.

 

[Tacgnol]

Technically speaking a Lich by PF lore doesn't have to look skeletal, it's just they usually can't be bothered to maintain their bodies.

There is a Lich in one of the APs that puts a lot of effort into maintaining their physical appearance.

Oi, we already have a thread for that: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/the-bone-crowd-sfw.128847/

I'm currently reading the Rise of Nagash trilogy (almost finished with the first book) and I'd say that's a fun story about a necromancer taking over a whole country. It taking place in the desert involved some unique possibilities Nagash exploited to a pretty striking degree. It also explained the origins of the vampires, but Tomb Kings > Vampire Lords imo. If the lich mythic path is half as fun as that story I'm getting wet just thinking about it. It's obviously fantasy schlock, so don't take this as some evaluation of high art. Nagash does feel overpowered though, there are literally only 2 fights the undeads lost and one of them had nothing to do with him. But I digress, give me that lich love.

If only Nagash was not so stupid evil, he would have been a very fun protagonist. But as it stands - he is such a dick, it's very hard to root for him dicking over other desert dicks.

But yeah, liches are the best.

I wonder if Owlcats will go the extra mile and actually make different skeletons for different races and male/female models.

Nobody is a good character in this novel tbh and I can't even remember most of their names or what they are supposed to be, so I have to constantly consult the dramatis personae at the beginning of the book to keep track of who betrays whom. I knew what Nagash is going to be like the moment his inner monologue told me he wanted to do cruel things to Neferem's (my waifu) flesh, so I didn't get my hopes up. Nagash just does evil stuff and the others react to it, that's it as far as characterization goes. It could've been a character arc where Nagash becomes more and more debauched the more he studied the black arts, but nope. Neferem deciding out of the blue to drink the elixir of life took me right out of the moment too. I thought Khefru was the most interesting character in this story because of his dual "nature" of going along with what Nagash wants and protesting at the same time, but I knew he was going to be killed and replaced with Arkhan the Black from the beginning because nobody mentions Khefru in the sections that take place just before the completion of the Black Pyramid. I actually thought he was dead by then until he appeared to take a tour of it after it was built. He could've been used to inject a bit of humanity into Nagash, but alas this is a story about a comically evil man committing comically evil acts with no remorse or introspection.

Exactly. I'm also wondering if they will make skeleton models for animal companions if you had any. That would mean skeletal models for dinos too so I doubt it.

Someone needs to purge these undead filth from this thread

[Lagole Gon]

Come at me, warmies. I'll take your life! I'll take your land...! I'll take your women!!!

 

[LabRat]

How exactly does Aeon work? All the other Paths look straightforward but that one looks the most vague in how you actually use the powers and what exactly do you do?

Anti-magic, dispels, immunities I think.

If Owlcat add counterspell mechanic, I will be surprised.

 

[Desiderius]

It is pretty central to the Arcanist class so they should, although it wasn't in the Alpha.

Without it Arcanist is painfully pointless. Subpar caster with a shitty, limited use Kineticist attached.

Orange is new Black,
Lich is the new Monk.

Alpha 2 is supposed to be coming soon. Discord already has a lot being set up including the channels and such. Expect it to be released this week.
