I create a boss for an upcoming session with my real life group
I need a group of valiant players willing to take this beast down.
this guy
My real life party is a wizard, a bloodrager, a paladin, a fighter (crossbow specialist) and a cleric. They are all veterans and very skilled players so this creature is much stronger than your typical monster and he is a boss so even stronger. I'm worried he may be a little too strong even. You don't have to make the same characters that's just a guide.
Characters that will fight him are 12th level and mythic tier 3.
You will have 200 000 gp to get gear and you can use 32 point buy for your characters. (my real life players don't have this much but I want to stress test this thing)
What you know. He is a demon. He is known as the lord of flames. He is a powerful general in the legions of the abyss. He always fights alone and is very proud he will likely go for the strongest foes first.
If your interested make a character when I have 5 I will try it out and we may try multiple battles if you want and if you like I could even make more monsters for additional matches.
I'll give you a hand, stress testing this
Interesting. I'll give it a shot. It should be fun. While you said we don't need to mimic their classes, I'll take a crack at running a Paladin, since their effectiveness against evil outsiders means they'll be a huge asset for your party. Running a stress test without one is like taking a car for a drive with a wheel missing.
Any restrictions on gear? And also, is your game straight PF, or do you allow 3.5 materials?
Aww.... I was already cracking on a Paly build to do a 200 damage charge. Mounted Marshal/Spirited/Lance for x4 charge damage.
But you go ahead.
Pathfinder only.
This sounds like fun. I've had an idea for a bloodrager kicking around anyway. I'll see what I can come up with!
@Lyall: Looks like I may not have the time after all, so go ahead. Work is picking up more than I anticipated.
Hmm don't do the charger. I'm familiar with the concept and I already know that if you land a good hit or a crit you could decimate his hp and make the battle an easy win.
So for the purposes of this battle assume it's indoors in a citadel and you fought your way to the roof were he is waiting for you. So no mounts and only animal companions of medium size or smaller.
I was bored so I only did a 25 point buy and just rang up your bog standard "underpowered" monk. I'd prolly get more fancier with the defensive items and stuff if I was doing this for real, and id break it down into what works best statistically, but this should give you and idea as to how hard melee classes can hit this thing.
Tactics are simple, you trigger Amazing Init, trigger Titan Rage ,with your extra standard action), trigger your boots of speed (free action), trigger Mythic Power Attack (free action), and then use Fleet Warrior to walk up to him and full attack with Flurry of Blows. Proceed to destroy him, before optimising your monk further.

Hi DireMerc!
I have two "already made and tested" 12-ish level characters that could work. I would only need to add the mythic tiers.
I hope you like one of them:
Small Ratfolk Rogue 12 Cleric of Abadar 1
Tomb "procurer", excellent against traps and very good hiding and attacking the back of the enemies.
The small ratfolk smiles charmingly.
"You sure need to hire me! If you are going in there, you will need a professional "procurer", and that's me. I will make sure no one gets hurt because of traps, and I can also scout ahead, warning you of dangers. I am silent and fast a a mouse, very handy disarming them, and able to spot a poisonous spider in the complete darkness of a dark cavern. I also have several tricks up my sleeve, which have saved my employers more than once. A resume? Let me see. I once , when little, escaped the dungeons of the City of Aquila. Did you heard about that? I am the only one that have escaped! And then got recruited by a couple trying to break a curse, and had to break in the damn city again! Well, with those connections, I reformed myself, embraced Abadar's creed and make a career of my abilities. The exploration of Sultan Abd-Abbas Mausoleum? That was me, that was the place when I found my celestial armor! The rescue of a couple children from the old mines of gold of Starguard? Me, me me! I tell you, I am the mouse for the job! Combat? Very good at it! I got a perfect strategy! I let the big slow guys behind me pummel the monsters to oblivion, while I do the best that I can do, get out of their way! Well, sometimes I help a little, Tooth and Claw, my nice twin swords have done their share, sometimes, but I must say that let the strong big guys do their stuff works well for all the involved, well, except the monsters! I help them by telling them where the enemies are, how many, armed with what, and leading them to the place. So, do we have a deal?"
----
Varisian Human Female Cleric of Desna 12
Really good healer - buffer armed with a powerful repeating crossbow.
"Ruperta of Hetzau is a Young Human Varisian Healer (Cleric), follower of Desna, who has been directed, in a vision from her goddess, to abandon the road she so much love and look for a green star in the city of Korvosa. She doesn't know what this "Green Star" is, or where in Korvosa it is located (or if Korvosa is just a stop in a much longer travel).
But she believer in luck, and the luck is where The Great Dreamer directs you, so she will go.
Once in Korvosa she looks for a sign, something to direct her towards the road Desna wants her to travel."
Thinking Sarenrae archer-arpriest, Quicken Blessing, Healing and Good blessings.
Longbow that shoots out d10's? Yes please.
OK, finished.

Alright, just about finished with this beast.
Just wanted to ask if it would be allowable to take the Disjoining weapon enchant? It's something I'd want to have in any mythic campaign but it could easily mess with your fight.

Any word on how we do hit points?
Hmm roll hp and re-roll 1's is how I do in my games.
I'll get it going probably tomorrow assuming I have 5 ready characters.
I'll, hopefully, finish mine tonight.
Two-weapon fighting (scimitars) warpriest/champion of Sarenrae.
Also:
Man, those rolls sucked.
Edit: Ah! That's better! That gives me a base 56. Eh.
Not going to be able to finish everything tonight, still need to spend some more money.
Will continue work tomorrow morning, and should have it posted sometime tomorrow.
Just saying I'm still here, and interested!
I used 1/2 max+1 for HP if that's OK.
This is just too much for me to commit to right now. As much fun as I would have, I just have too much on my plate to handle this insanity.
Y'all have fun taking him down, and I'll certainly be dropping in from time to time!
Thats fine Drbuzzard
I'll say no to the the Disjoining weapon because yes that would mess with the fight a bit.
I think I have 3 characters so far so still some time before we can start.

Lol not a lot of diversity in mythic paths thought everyone went champion for damage. Would like to see other paths as well.
My real life group I put the restriction maximum 1 person per path so there is a champion, a guardian, a archmage, a marshal and a heriophant
I can probably switch to guardian with little enough negative impact. I do intend to be fairly tanky. I'll see what I can do.
Hm, as a bloodrager, Balor is kind of designed to work as a champion. It's vaguely possible I could work him as a Marshall but it would would be a pretty poor design decision.
cosario they are fine but incomplete. Go ahead and add mythic levels to either I'm not looking at backstory for this one.
If you could switch Drbuzard that would be good. You can leave it as champion incorrigible I was just saying I don't want 5 champions just beating him down.
As we don't have a divine presence yet, I'd suggest Ruperta.
hmm yes ruperta
If we are stuck on lacking a specific path, then I can work something up on short notice.
Well, it looks like we have a guardian, a champion and I imagine Ruperta will be a hierophant?
Tessai was considering en evoker? Not sure if they're still in?
A marshal or trickster would be great.
Mythic Trickster is easy. Ninja with Invisible Blade, Undetectable mythic item ability, Fleet Warrior (picked up via Path Dabbling), and Titan's bane. Enemy is flat footed to all of your attacks, and you get to add sneak attack to every hit. With Mythic Weapon Finesse, as well as Mythic Two Weapon Fighting, you can add Dex to damage and take no penalties for TWF. You move, you full attack it, and you kill it, without the creature having any idea where you are. Also, its prolly taking Str/Dex damage each time you successfully sneak attack it.
Add a Marshal with Deadly Guidance x4 and that same Ninja is adding 10d6 sneak attack on all of its attacks (that hit), per round. Thats really, really scary.
That's...impressive. Honestly, I've personally never seen mythic played at this level. I'm really curious to see how DireMerc's Lord of Flames is going to stand up to a party of characters throwing around this kind of power.
True I expect him to lose but I think he may be able to get a kill or two
He cannot kill us if Deathless is up =]
OK, remade him as a guardian.

Uncanny Dodge (Panache left) (Ex) Retain Dex bonus to AC when flat-footed.
Wayfinder (1 @ 0 lbs) A small magical device patterned off ancient relics of the Azlanti, a wayfinder is typically made from silver and bears gold accents. With a command word, you can use a wayfinder to shine (as the light spell). The wayfinder also acts as a nonmagical (magnetic) compass, granting you a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks to avoid becoming lost. All wayfinders include a small indentation designed to hold a single ioun stone. An ioun stone slotted in this manner grants you its normal benefits (as if it were orbiting your head), but frequently reveals entirely new powers due to the magic of the wayfinder itself (see Seeker of Secrets page 51).
Note: This item costs only 250 gp for members of the Pathfinder Society

Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, light; Cost 250 gp
Weapon Focus [Mythic, Rapier] As a swift action, use 1 power to add half tier to attack with selected weapon.
Just rustled up an Marshal and a Trickster so the GM can see some of the tactics involved + what might come up. Also IIRC these were the only two roles with no interest so maybe we can spark some ideas or something, IDK.

Vanishing Trick (Su) As a swift action, the ninja can disappear for 1 round per level. This ability functions as invisibility. Using this ability uses up 1 ki point.
This is the Ninja I mentioned above. Swift Action Greater Invisibility combined with the Undetectable Legendary Item mythic
ability means that your options are limited in terms of finding where this Ninja is. Its debatable if anything can technically detect it but thats a discussion for another time. Mythic Weapon Finesse means that its damage is great, Mythic Two-Weapon Fighting says goodbye to any penalties, and Titan's Bane gives the Ninja yet another way of getting Sneak Attack if for whatever reason Invisibility is off the table. If I was building this character for more of a "team" environment (since atm its quite selfish), I'd prolly Dual Path Champion and pick up Fleet Warrior that way, and then get Path Dabbling for Eldritch flight (and go Halfling, which would work better with Titan's Bane) but I'm fairly certain you didn't want us all picking Duel Path, so I just went single classed.

You can do anything with the Marshal path. For instance, I made a cool Battle Herald character that works with it pretty well. Its a good path for a Paladin as well for its ability to give the entire party Smite but I decided to go Ranger and pick up Mythic Hunters bond, which gives the entire party my favoured enemy bonus. This equates to +6 on all attack and damage rolls against evil outsiders which is pretty cool, and the Ranger itself doesn't do too badly on its own just because Archery is awesome. Add in Named Bullet and its got some serious threat potential but really, its just going to stand at range and full attack away.
Can you seriously imagine though a party with Clarion Call + Mythic Bond. Lets give the entire party Smite and full favoured enemy progression! Scary as hell.
I like the ranger marshal since there is a fighter with a similar build in the actual party.
Ok so we have
-Balgrim Balor-Breaker Champion
-Error Flynn Guardian
-Ranger marhsal
-Ruperta hierophant
-Tessai's evoker Archmage?
Haven't heard from Tessai since the initial post, maybe throw the a PM and see if they're still on board?
One guy is an easy fight depending on your bloodrager. I have a 9th level one mythic tier 3 in wrath so here are a few quick numbers for this battle. I will do up a 12th level one if you want me to run through with you guys.
Str 17start+3levels+4Mythic++enhancement+10rage, so 40
Attack
BAB+12+15str+9weapon+5morale-4power attack for a +37 to hit
Weapon is a Falchion +5 Furious, Courageous, Evil outsider Bane so 64,000 with upgradable from mythic
Damage will be 2d4+2d6+22str+9weapon+5morale+3Arcane Strike+12power attack so 51total
Arcane Strike becomes +9 damage while raging due to blooded arcane strike then +27 on a vital strike.
Now Vital strike and its 6d4+2d6+171 If you Crit and you Crit on 15-20 your damage is 10d4+2d6+513. You spend your mythic power on mirror dodge so he can't full attack, you will also spend mythic power to take and extra standard to vital strike twice a round. Even with not criting this guy you will hit 4 time in 2 round for an average 193 a hit. So with the party this guys should be easy unless his AC is crazy high
Feats:
1st: Desperate Battler
3rd: Arcane Strike
5th: Blooded Arcane Strike
7th: Vital Strike
9th: Improved Critical
11th: Improved Vital Strike
Bloodlines: Destined, Draconic
Bloodline Feats: Power attack, Toughness, Iron Will
Mythic Feats: Arcane Strike, Vital Strike, Improved Critical
Trickster Mythic Talents:
1st: Legendary Item Sword
2nd: Extra Mythic Feat
3rd: Mirror Dodge
Thankfully I don't have to deal with anything that overpowered in my actually group.
Yeah, I didn't want to go that crazy with my build. Mythic vital strike is pretty broken, but then so is most of mythic from what I've seen.
We'll see how that actual fight plays out. Does seem like we need one more though.
anyone want to make a wizard?
I can run up an Arcanist / Witch ^_^
actually lets just try it with these 4 for now.
