		   Going third level witch Caster level 3 gaining second level spells. Using favored class to gain an additional spell for my familiar. Taking hold person, blindness/deafness, and cure mod as free spells is level. Since we have a cleric I will be memorizing hold person and blindness/deafness family unless we Need the healing at some point. Increase to skills: know arcane, history, nature, planes, spellcraft, spellcraft, use magic device Feat is ability focus hex (misfortune) to make dc 17 now. +8 hp Ndombe I am not sure what to suggest for feats. We have an eclectic group with cleric, rogue, Druid, witch, and gloomblade fighter. I went with a feat to give a bit more firepower to my hex for rebuffing. What role are you looking to fill and what interests you.

 I don't love Power Attack except on full BAB two-handers. Weapon Focus tends to give you more damage in the long run.
 I'll have my update up soon--deciding on a feat myself.

		   Yeah, but Weapon Focus limits your weapon choice.  Not what I want to do, because we'll find some amazing weapon, and none of you guys are gonna want it, so I'll grudgingly take it, and start slaughtering things. Well, I don't intend to be the uber healer, but am fine with healing.  Had I wanted to be the uber healer, I'd have chosen a different god and domains. I don't intend to be a melee monster either, but I do keep seeming to get into melee, so I figure I better not completely suck at it. Support is my role, I suppose.  The Cleric list of spells isn't overly offensive.

My shadow weapon is a +1 now. +1 BAB, more HP.

		   Hey everyone just a recruitment post in all my games. We lost a paladin and an archer in my wrath of the righteous campaign and also lost our frontline duo in reign of winter campaign. The wrath of the righteous characters are in book 4 and are 13th level mythic tier 5.
The Reign of Winter characters are in book 5 and about to be level 14.

		   Yeah a couple people are not fans of high level play and combat takes a long time as there are so many options for countering/reacting to what happens. A round of combat in wrath takes about a week.

		   Well that is decidedly less friendly than "don't get killed on the way to saving is."

		   Right!  That's why Neltji said it that way!

		   I guess you could interpret it either way...so each of you could be right. Although I will say Neltji was not too inspired by your arrival with that to hit roll of single digits.

		   Not to metagame, but this is what your characters know: 1.  For those of you that were on it, there was a varisian scholar on the Jenevier that was very mysterious. 2. So far the only members of the crew that were not accounted for were her and the Captain and you just found the captain with the cave drawings. 3. It looks like the paintings that dealt with this ritual were recently cleaned off.  Seeing the captain's fate as a lacedon probably means that it wasn't him.

		   My thoughts, not looking at spoiler, is still to finish exploration of Z then come back and do the ritual. Neltji would be curious about what exactly is going on here. Second we have put pieces together that we were stranded here on purpose but I am not exactly why still. We are assuming it was the mysterious woman and if so we need to find her to make her pay and find out why.
