Écrit à l'origine par : Mériadec Le volume 4 de la campagne de Shattered star en parle dans un de ses articles. Après une nuit de lectures passionnées, je suis finalement arrivé à satiété! J'adore particulièrement le passage qui le décrit physiquement, lui et ses prophètes fous! Notamment à la page 71 de «Beyond the Doomsday Door» (VOA):Cite:Groetus rarely appears in human form, but a few records from ancient Azlant describe him as a tall, slender man wearing a long gray-cowled robe that hangs heavily to the floor. He is slightly bent at the neck, as if bearing a great weight on his head, with ashen skin, hollow eyes, and long, smooth hands. His voice is the dry whisper of old paper, his laughter low and breathy, and his inflection archaic or foreign. His feet are bare and covered in soot and ash, like he has walked through an old fire for his entire existence. Groetus almost never intervenes directly in the mortal world, as if doing so were against some personal, self defined code. His few positive interventions have been on behalf of his prophets, granting them a few moments of clarity at a critical time when their madness would interfere with his intentions. When he is displeased, madness intensifies or magnifies, phobias are born or triggered, and eyes become cloudy or weep itchy gray f luid. Formal raiment for the church is usually a light gray robe with pale blue trim. The exact shade varies from region to region and prophet to prophet, but is always some form of gray with blue accents. Most priests put little stock in their appearance (after all, they are anticipating the end of all things), and their clothing tends to become shabby and stained as the years go by. Many priests allow their hair to grow long and unkempt, but some shave their heads and color around their eyes with dark blue paint or makeup to represent the dreaded skull-moon image of their strange god. Groetus is chaotic neutral, and his portfolio is empty places, ruins, and oblivion. His favored weapon is the heavy f lail-a deadly weapon evolved from a tool to thresh grain from chaff. Some worshipers suggest this represents the god's role of breaking the world at the end of all things to free the pure essence within ruined matter. His symbol is a full moon with the faint image of a skull seen in the pattern of craters that decorate its surface. His domains are Chaos, Darkness, Destruction, Madness, and Void. Most of his priests are clerics, though a few wizards, summoners, and oracles claim to be prophets of his word, and the true clerics of Groetus do not dispute these claims. He is called the God of t he End Times, the God of t he End of t he World, and the Harbinger of Last Days. J'adore aussi particulièrement les détails qui décrivent de ses cultes «Priests of the Mouth of Apocalypse», «Priests of the Portal of Incarnation», «Priests of the Sign of the Destroyer», et de la fête de cette religion (page 74, Beyond the Doomsday Door»):Cite:Despite their rampant madness and tendency to group in independent cells, the faithful of Groetus are united in celebrating one holiday. The Final Day: On the last day of the year, the faithful observe silent prayer for an hour at sundown, hoping for guidance from Groetus or a sign that the end times will come soon. Some cults follow this with other rituals such as sacrifices and chanting. Voilà. Je dois dire que j'ai amplement de matériel pour terminer ma méga-campagne au-delà du niveau 20, comme je l'avais prévu. J'ai de plus en plus l'intention de créer un end-game dans ma campagne apocalyptique où les joueurs auront la possibilité de combattre Groétus en personne sur sa lune («Moon-Realm», comme il est décrit dans cet article à la page 73), en intégrant le livre de Pathfinder MYTHIC ADVENTURES vers la fin de ma campagne. Je m'imagine très bien gérer des joueurs niveau 10 «Mythical». Ambitieux?
