Yknow I think what really bothers me iabout wotr trickter path is that being an effective trickster requires forethought, insight, and intelligence. which is really tough to make a central theme when so much of the writing in game comes off as broadly anti-intellectual.

#pathfinder wotr #pf wotr #wotr trickster path #it is the art school anti-intellectualism i remember from college #its a very particular kind of disdain for applied skill that isnt 'innate talent' you get from creatives that buy into the talent grift #hard to explain if you never went to an up its own as liberal arts college or an Art Institute #i dont mean like an institute of art i mean the scam franchise colleges #but essentially there is a kind of attitude that any group of intellctuals is automatically part of an elite class #ie if youre not in a Skill Trade and Creating then you have the privelege to just think about useless stuff #as if you cant be creative and also pursue math or philosophy or whatever #and if you do its becaused you are Privileged and Elite #essentially its a self-deprecating mindset that martyrs artists as True to the exhortations of their soul #while everyone else is just fucking around #which is funny because i expected to see more of that on the Azata path #but so far azata has the least of that while the other paths are just like #thinking is dumb asking questions is dumb and you should just act on instinct #anyway #navel gazing
