The final battle has a solar.

It also gives a reason for why the solar is present for the final battle besides just having more holy allies. You could also have a half-giant/titan mauler/titan fighter be part of the team, and make it be the child of titan.

<p>As for how it all came to be, the whole Richard's mother thing could still be present in the story.

Because we're bringing up Book 6, just one thing we can address is the fact that dragons don't have armor proficiency, yet the silver dragon is wearing mithral full plate.</p>
<p>[i]Nonproficient with Armor Worn:[i] A character who wears armor and/or uses a shield with which he is not proficient takes the armor’s (and/or shield’s) armor check penalty on attack rolls as well as on all Dex– and Str-based ability and skill checks. The penalty for non-proficiency with armor stacks with the penalty for shields.</p>
<p>Even with it being mithral, the dragon should have had -4 to all of those things and a 20-foot move speed. In my blog, I said to give her a level of warrior as NPC class levels wouldn't increase CR and adjust ability scores, or you could give her a magic item that gives her Heavy Armor Proficiency, but still. This was an oversight made by the author.</p>
<p>Regarding NPCs throughout, a lot of class levels were ignored. Not even "this monster with X class is 1:1 while Y class is 2:1 for CR ratio", but some didn't even have class levels at all. Just abilities added to them like it was a template years before Paizo gave us the Simple Templates. There were also creatures that were "advanced", but that math didn't math so they were CR 16, but actually only CR 12, which the author denied because he said he looked at Paizo's quick advancement rules. Unfortunately, that's not good enough.</p>
<p>And spelling errors were definitely an issue. I couldn't help but wonder if this was written WordPad. Not everyone uses Google Doc, or owns Word Document, and being your editor is difficult because you know what the wording SHOULD say. I give a slight pass on that, but only slight.</p>
<p>I agree with Coriat that the whole thing with Richard was very poorly executed and made no sense in the grand scheme. It's the kind of thing you'd see called out by movie critics if this was a film.</p>
<p>I think part of the issue with Book 6 was crunch time. When Books 5 and 6 were coming out, that's when Gary's hard drive failed. He lost practically everything because he hadn't backed it up. The only stuff he had on both books were paper notes he had scribbled everything down on. He was trying to release each book once every two months, and this put him behind significantly. As well, he was in the middle of talks with Paizo staff to commission them (namely Jason Bulmahn) to do feats and class archetypes. As such, the quality shifted quite a bit.</p>
<p>What's unfortunate is this AP was supposed to get a complete facelift for the 10 year anniversary edition, fixing and clarifying all the issues, but obviously that didn't happen.</p>As the person who shared the Reddit post that heavily criticizes the AP, made a revision blog about it, and objectively been looking at it from a designer's point of view, it absolutely has its flaws and ignores a number of rules.

<p>It would buff the dragon in his original form, but it's honestly only something you'd give him if he needed it in his humanoid form. That said, this might get Ezra to help because a dragon is difficult to take on, and an undead can only do so much. It's just assumed that the dragon is in its original form always. You could also make a custom item that reduces his size to Medium so he can get around.

Argossarian is a CR 13 young adult silver dragon who has no wealth on him whatsoever because his horde is somewhere else entirely. As such, my suggestion would be to have "some" of that 11,600 gold the PCs normally wouldn't be able to access, as something he can make use of. He has no armor, but has access to 1st and 2nd level spells. My suggestions would be for him to wear a <i>ring of spell knowledge</i> with <i>mage armor</i> in it, and <i>page of spell knowledge</i> for <i>shield of faith</i>. That's 2500 gp and gives +6 AC for two 1st level spell slots. As for change shape, it's any animal of humanoid. Lizardfolk are humanoids with two claws and a bite. Could turn into one of those, or even a sasquatch for slams. Could always have another <i>page of spell knowledge</i> for a 2nd level spell that'd cost 4k gp, and pick your favourite. I'd probably go <i>bull's strength</i> of <i>bear's endurance</i>, but <i>resist energy</i> is good for those fire-based spells. Whatever you add, just make sure the PCs can only access a minimal amount of it, if anything.</p>Braininthejar wrote:A question about the dragon.

<p>What you could do to make it more your own, take an adult paradise dragon that's CR 16. Add about 8 oracle levels. That'll give you +4 CR for CR 20 (assuming you're wanting to go that high). Those oracle levels will let you customize the spell list to what you'd like to have (including invisibility purge), and give you a mystery as well. As for the curse, go lame. Being reduced to 50 ft. land speed and 190 ft. fly speed is laughable. Also your dragon HD count as half the oracle level for the curse benefits. All dragons have blindsense, so look at the whimsy or solar mysteries (definitely recommend whimsy for the flicker and whimsical step abilities). Both get faerie fire as a bonus revelation spell. Sense an enemy at 60 ft. cast the spell. Everyone in that 5 ft. burst is discovered. Heck, take Widen Metamagic Spell as one of the bonus HD feats and that'll increase the radius.</p>AsherPAF wrote:kevin_video wrote:

<p>Definitely doable. Just be a matter of which monsters that’d get that treatment.</p>
<p>And it definitely sucks, but I was really hoping Dreamscarred Press wouldn’t suddenly disappear. I was liking their deep dive into a version of Savage Species. A friend was the lead writer for it too. Would have been nice to see it continue.</p>SheepishEidolon wrote:Hrm, Monster Codex managed to completely (?) avoid ties to Golarion.

<p>When it comes to monsters, IMO more depth to existing monsters is more interesting than adding <i>even more</i> of them. Some of my favourite Paizo books are Monster Codex, Classic Monsters Revisited and Demons Revisited.</p>
<p>Same goes for races. We have like 60 races from Paizo alone - there are few things not covered yet. I prefer focused books like Gnomes of Golarion. </blockquote><p>#3 Would definitely be a mix, not unlike a core book, and I'm not entirely sure what classes would be in there. I know two would hybrids.
<p>The Revisited books have definitely been an interesting read. The only problem I can see with making monster (and eve race) focused books would be that for it to really work, it'd need to be written in a Campaign Setting style, which might not mesh well with a GM's home world. Something to definitely consider and bring forward though. It shall be noted.</p>SheepishEidolon wrote:Derek Blakely wrote:Secondly, out of these options, which would you most prefer to see another book of?
