Taldans. I love to make surprisingly smart and eloquent human fighters, catches everyone off guard. Planning a human centric campaign, so this helped a lot.
Thanks for the great lore series! Is there any way you can share where you got the map of human migration patterns in the introduction from? My attempts of finding it online have been unsuccessful. Thanks! :)
Really good video. Usually in RPGs I find that people disregard humans as if they were all the same, but Golarion has so many diverse cultures in the lore.
Love your channel. Pathfinder has some really excellent lore and world building. It's excellent to find a channel that's dedicated to digging in to it.
HELL yes. The day after I was looking for this, my new favorite channel comes through. Had to make my Belmont build from the Golarion transylvania equivalent, so Ustalav, but this helps tremendously.
After reading the World Guide and Character Guide, I feel like I have a much better understanding of Avistan and Garund. Keleshite and Tien seem like huge opportunities though... there's so much land to cover
I do like how fantasy and sci-fi are the only places where eugenics is not only preferable, but required to know where someone is from. 10/10 video. Thank you for all this info
As always great video! I'll be honest in the campaign I'm running (in Varisia) I was ignoring the ethnicities as they sounded kinda boring to me. Yet you have proven me wrong. It still makes me chuckle how stereotypical the looks of the Cheliaxians where made as bond villains. And I never knew common was derived from the Taldoran language! I love the work bug, keep it up! :)
Great video, so much wonderful lore in this game. I played a shoanti witch in Curse of the Crimson Throne (until the game disbanded), was a really fun character. :)
Currently playing two humans in different campaigns. 1. A Chelaxian Musket Master (NG, worships both Iomedae and Milani). [Serpents Skull] 2. A (very emotionally and spiritually troubled) Jadwiga (pronounced Yadwiga) Paladin of Falayna, who often struggles physically from various curses and character building Drawbacks. I deliberately nerfed her with curses and such to reflect in game mechanics her struggles to be a Paladin, other aspects are done by pure role playing. [Reign of Winter] I think she's my favorite character ever, and I'm a grognard.
I am working on the shadow plane video, but work is killing me at the moment so my editing is very spaced out. I'm trying to have it done by Friday, but if I can't it will be out asap!
Always wanted there to be mechanical aspects to these ethnicities but then saw a bit of commentary from Paizo that attaching mechanics to “race” more or less supported the idea of (in my words, not theirs) eugenics. That aspects could be tied to race and this weighed against one another. Very interesting take, hence why mechanics come in the form of the more generic heritages instead of ethnicities.
It would be great to see the other ancestries and more on humans. I wonder if Absomlomites are a mixture of all the human ethnicities. It would make sense to see Absomlomites have ancestors from across all of Golarion. Sort of how the United States is a melting pot in the real world.
I’m pretty sure an Ulfan Will be more likely to be a barbarian than a fighter because they are after all supposed to be comparable to the Vikings according to Paizo. Also if you’re trying to make a character that copies Thor from the marvel movies you definitely want a Barbarian and not a fighter
What's your favorite ethnicity? Did my video inspire you in anyway? If so, let me know all about it!

This makes me want to make a full human campaign, such a good video !

Killing it with the videos lately. Great job- love watching, you make learning fun. And I hate learning.
High praise! Thanks lol
Woah! How did you know I chose Human as my Ancestry?

I'm playing War for the Crown rn and my Taldan noble is a blast to play. She definitely acts like taldans still own the world, haha
Loving your videos so far, i hope more are coming. You gained a new subscriptor. Cheers !
I'm interested in the Shoanti. I didn't know about the Erutaki until I watched this video. Great job!!!
Hehe, glad to be your 1000th subscriber, never had that opportunity, thanks! (-;
As always great video!

I'd be interested in the longer ancestry video.

Excellent video, thank you for sharing this with us

Was playing Pathfinder Kingmaker when the Tian-shu section came up and I made a Human Wizard based on one of the names on the list.
Have you looked into the chapter functionality of youtube? I think that would be a perfect fit for this video to go back to as a reference.
I have not, I'll look into it in a moment though!
Chapter's are added, thank you for the suggestion!
@@SirVertigo you are most welcome
Thanks for the video. Edited captions or a bit more text on screen would have been helpful, especially for the heritage names.
Great video as always
I've always liked the Shoanti. I used to play a Shoanti Fate Witch. She was very fun.
Love your videos. I hope we get one on the planes. Thanks for the entertainment.

I would love the full human history, I love the lore of Golarion and you tell it well
I'll definitely circle back around to Humans, but they do have one of the larger histories, so it may be a little bit!

Praise to the algoritm.
Also great video ^^
Did u ever upload tian shu I can't seem to find it
SNAGGA LANDS.

Fantastic!
This sort of analysis goes to show that humans aren't boring. They're just considered that way by players who don't value history or culture.
Seriously great lore vid must watch
*I love the opening jokes .*
I'm inspired!
💯
Great video, but just so you're aware, they are called Iobarians with an i, not Lobarians
Oh, did not realize that! So how would that be pronounced? I'm not very good with pronunciation as you can probably tell, but I'm working on it!
@@SirVertigo I think it's something like eye-obarians
@@eruner11 thank you, if I do another video mentioning them I'll make sure to correct that!
Ha I chose dwarf as my ancestry
i just found out i am in fact related to humans, like more then you would think, i feel so disgusted now...
lol
This is a good video I'm glad I found your Channel
