GM Kiora's Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Kiora Atua

Sure, but she wouldn't have accepted it, because she doesn't need armor.

I updated Hinagiku's tactic to remove the automatic investment of essence. She will choose each day what she decides to use.

Before I forget, here's a list of things Ehren worked on over the timeskip! I'll try to make this a habit since my stuff tends to get lost in my novella submissions. ;)

Gold star to Myrna & Beatrix, for our 24,000th post!

We spent the last 1,000 posts focused on the adventure in the godless city of Azir. I was surprised to spend so long there but there were a lot of major plot developments that ended up spinning out of that adventure :)

For the next 1,000 posts I'm hoping we clear not one, but two mythic trials, therefore polishing off all of the individualized mythic trials and moving past the time-skip/city-building phase of the AP! I'm super excited about the next two adventures, and I hope to catch y'all by surprise.

hope to catch y'all by surprise.

It's a jackal, isn't it?

No no, clearly it will be the Spanish Inquisition.

I feel like it can't be the Spanish Inquisition, because then you'd be expecting them. Of course if you wind up not expecting them because you're expecting them, then perhaps...

Happy 25,000 posts, y'all! :)

Amazing! So much written! Go team!

Amazing indeed! And (as someone who joined yall late) I'm excited that there's still plenty more yet to come. <3

Hooray! Here's to another 25,000!

Unafe's Dispel-able buffs in order of descending Caster Level:

CL 3
- Serendipity (just checked; my +1 luck bonus aura IS dispellable...though it only costs me a Free to restart it)
- Chariot Motif
- Sword Motif
- Temperance Motif

CL10
- Stoneskin

CL12
- Resist Energy

...And then I have no idea what from Goryon has a CL and is dispellable.

Since we will be getting a free retrain (hooray, Hinagiku really needed it), I had a few questions about some abilities to help guide my choice.

1) There is an ability called unfocused focus (excerpt below) and I was wondering whether it would apply to capstone abilities. For example, reaching level 16 monk and being able to pick Perfect Body, Flawless Mind (an alternate capstone for monks).
« If you have more than one class, you may select a single class ability (other than spellcasting) from one of your classes (such as wildshape, channel energy, or sneak attack). You may treat your class level for that ability as up to 4 higher than your class level in that class, up to a maximum equivalent class level equal to your Hit Dice. »

2) My long-term goal with Expertise (from the mythic tradition) is to get Hinagiku to reincarnate when she dies by taking the level 20 revelation from the Heaven’s mystery (see below, I have dropped part of the ability from the text because it is essentially divine grace which Hinagiku already has and I would not mind dropping the crit confirm part either). The question is whether that is okay and whether it is too much if on top of that Hinagiku takes Perfect Body, Flawless Mind from the previous point. I.e. are two capstones too many.

“Upon achieving 20th level, your rapport with the heavens grants you perfect harmony with the universe. You automatically stabilize if you are below 0 hit points, are immune to fear effects, and automatically confirm all critical hits. Should you die, you are reborn 3 days later in the form of a star child, who matures over the course of 7 days (treat as the reincarnate spell).”

3) One of the things I have been wanting to do is get Hinagiku on the rage wagon, but maintaining her senses while doing so. So, I was thinking of using expertise to take a form of peaceful rage from one of the barbarian archetypes (linked below). The idea would be that Hinagiku is able to use Myrna’s rage in her own way so that she is not left behind. The main question is whether this is acceptable from a fluff perspective; if Hinagiku has a controlled rage or serene rage for example, would she have that state of mind while under the effect of Myrna’s Raging Song? Or would she be raging Sarkorian style?

If she keeps the state of mind of her own rage ability, my two main contenders for peaceful rages would be Controlled Rage from the Urban Barbarian or Serenity from the from a 4 winds fantasy gaming archetype.

If you feel like either of those don’t fit Hinagiku’s style, please let me know! I want to avoid picking something for which my idea of the fluff differs from yours.

4) I have come to realize that the Chakra Adept requires extra investment to make the veils work well. So I searched for another approach to get a magicky monk. There is the Yamabushi and Streetfighter which would make Hinagiku a spheres monk with some magic talents. However, the two archetypes overlap slightly in what they change. Streetfighter takes away all the bonus feats and styles strikes for talents every level and the Yamabushi takes away one feat to give the nature sphere. I was wondering whether it would work to drop one or two of the talents from Streetfighter and replace it with either the nature sphere or even nothing. Note, I would use the nature sphere to allow Hinagiku to listen to the elements or see through them, not sure which.

Link to the two archetypes
Streetfighter
Yamabushi

5) How do you feel about the origin’s FCBs?

6) How do you feel about us taking levels in Sphere’s playtest classes? I am thinking about the Bravo. I would not take a level now, but likely as the next level, but knowing would help make decisions now.

Sairazul’s Gift:
+ Replenish my 1/day ability to refill my Mythic Tension Pool (so I can do it 1 more time, if needed)
+ Regain +2 MP

Sairazul's Boon: You can now cast burrow as a SLA for 1 MP and a standard action.

Story feat: Forgotten Past (Completed!)
I now have advantage (best of 2 rolls) on Mind-Affecting.
// Note, on re-reading I recall that mind-affecting things always have their duration halved for me, so I've updated the duration for Heroism on me, on the tracker accordingly. There's still quite a bit of time left for it, but I'd forgotten the feat halves the duration of even positive mind-affecting effects.

Tier 4 summary
+1 CON = 16 →
+1 Fort = +15
+14 HP (4 tier, 10 CON) = 154 max, 88 current
Surge dice = 1d8
+2 MP = 1 +2 (gift) +2 (tier) = 5/11 currently
+1 Initiative = +7

Mythic Focus - Confidence (3/day surges)

Talent: Mythic Sphere Knowledge
As a free action, you may spend 1 mythic power to acquire any base sphere (or any talent from a sphere you already know) for one minute. If a talent gained with this ability normally allows you to expend martial focus or a spell point to make its effect persist, you may do so even if you lose access to this talent before spending the resource. You may not have more than one active effect lasting 1 hour or more created through this ability at any given time.

Note: While a character can use this ability more than once per turn, the GM decides how many free actions it is reasonable for a character to take each turn. If you aren't sure how many is appropriate, a character should not be able to take more than five free actions each turn. This ability still does not allow gaining any advanced talents without GM permission, and the GM may limit this ability to once per round.

New Wound thresholds
115 Grazed

…Finally, Paula and I talked about trading the Radiant Drawback for
Drawback: Cursed: Shattered Psyche: Unafe has the disorienting experience of constant voices and opinions from Goryon and other ancestors inside of her. Your mind is crowded with dozens of voices, and disorienting snippets of your past lives. You take a –2 penalty on all Intelligence-based skill checks, Wisdom-based skill checks, and concentration checks.

…Paula, let me know if that goes into effect now (with the new tier) or will be part of any rebuild after this adventure is over.

The others pointed out two unclear points in my questions.

2) For expertise and the heavens revelation, would Hinagiku still be slain by a coup de grace by epic weapons or does the ability supersede that?

5) For FCB, I was wondering mainly about this: "At GM discretion, characters with normal races instead of origin traditions may also take these bonuses."

Hey Paula, dropping in with some notes about my own retrain:

Keeping it fairly simple and straightforward.

Gonna trade out my Martial Training discipline one last time. It seems like the crowd-favorite winning discipline is Silver Crane.

I'll dip a level of warlord (vanguard commander) to regain the Eternal Guardian and Golden Lion maneuvers I want next level.

Maneuvers:
1st - silver strike, silver crane waltz
2nd - blazing crane's wing, blessed pinions
3rd - exorcism strike, silver knight's blade, stance of the silver crane

I'll also trade out my Berserker Deathless talent (which makes me less likely to die if I'm knocked below 0) for the Shield Shielded Focus talent (which lets me spend a move action while fighting defensively to restore martial focus).

I'm thinking about interacting with the mythic drawbacks and boons system, but I still need to think a little longer.

Looking at this now, no answer is necessary for question 4 i have decided to drop the idea of yamabushi and street fighter

Summary of Li'an's Respec

It would appear that Sairazul's power had an unintended (or intended?) consequence!

Per our discussion in Discord, I have updated Ehren's stats to reflect his transformation into an ironsoul oread. There will be a few more changes once we get the chance to rebuild, but these will take effect (almost) immediately. This will, of course, be addressed as soon as Ehren drops wild shape. ;)

The Crystal Queen works in mysterious ways!

Sorry, slight corrections to the above. Ehren is a regular oread.

It's too much to put in one post, but after her shower, Unafe will take at least a short nap to take the Moaning Diamond into her dreamspace.

Per the request on buff tracking, I'll be using the calendar-based buff tracker going forward.

I'll use the calendar-based tracker for dispellable buffs.

Kiora, if it works for you, I'll continue using my tracking spoiler for various other resources and (Ex) self-buffs, which mostly last 2-5 rounds.

Just so that everything is in the same place, I also will be using the calendar-based tracker for buffs. There is a link in Hinagiku's header to it.

I'll use the calendar-based tracker for dispellable buffs.

Kiora, if it works for you, I'll continue using my tracking spoiler for various other resources and (Ex) self-buffs, which mostly last 2-5 rounds.

Yes, but you need to deduct your buffs out of combat too using your spoiler. You usually only track in combat.

I'll also be pitching in by adding my buffs to the spreadsheet. This will be especially important since Ehren will soon be polymorphing through spells rather than a supernatural ability. I will continue to track my resources through my header and character sheet.

With my signature below, I hereby attest that my buffs will be on the most recent Excel sheet. If I cannot access the sheet for some reason, I will place buffs at the end of my header. In case that my buffs are not easily auditable, I agree that they should not apply.

Myrna Riversoar

Well, I'll go first. Linked in my profile is the Google Doc with my new statblock. Very little is different. I swapped out my discipline for Martial Training and one combat talent. I also recorded one bonus Equipment talent from the Combat specialization of the Hedgewitch class (Unfettered Armor). I noticed I had benefits from two Hedgewitch paths, so I struck the spiritualism buffs from my sheet.

Everything else is the same.

Her header will now record her current stance. By default it will be +3 Reflex, AC, and +5 to initiative.

The followers document is a work-in-progress, but should be done soon.

Hinagiku will take advantage of the rebuild. The changes are listed above in the quite long post I made about it.

Hinagiku's header is finalized. I have added it temporarily as a static header in her alisa, but will soon change it to one that I update every post.

Hinagiku's new statblock is finalized. If can be found at the link in the header.

Character Sheet

I basically had to rebuild Ehren from the ground up, but I will do my best to summarize the major changes:

Ehren got us talking on the player channel about backup characters. At the risk of jinxing us, I'm rolling for my trap-wielding Trickster build. ;-)

...which I'll hopefully never actually play...unless we start an alternate timeline version of the game (or some new mythic game, when this one finally comes to a dramatic end).

4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 1) - 1 = 18
4d6 - 4 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 5) - 4 = 15
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 1) - 1 = 9
4d6 - 3 ⇒ (3, 5, 3, 6) - 3 = 14
4d6 - 3 ⇒ (6, 4, 3, 4) - 3 = 14
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 4) - 1 = 9

To be perfectly clear, I am not expecting us all to die horribly, but it has been a while since I have seriously toyed with any backup character ideas, so I will go ahead and roll a new ability score array here.

4d6 - 3 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 3) - 3 = 15
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 2) - 2 = 10
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 6, 5, 1) - 1 = 12
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 5) - 1 = 10
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 1) - 1 = 13
4d6 - 4 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 4) - 4 = 16

Self Audit, discussed on Discord, noting here and on my sheet.

I'm removing:
- Drawback: Shielding
- Talent: Slippery

...because I realized I'd misread the drawback, and it actually would just invalidate ALL my Protection talents. :-/

Unafe, L6 L.Medium / L5 Striker Hybrid

Maths sheet, Character sheet (doc)

This summary combines level up to L11 and a free rebuild (generously granted by Kiora when I realized that flex talents don’t typically work the way we’d expected in SoM/SoG)

+6 levels of L.Medium
FCB is now +2 Seance bonus (+⅓ / level)
Have 11 Assertion Points / day that I can spend for +1d6 spirit surge (free action, costs 2/roll if I spend after rolling), or to gain new Fate/Divination talents for 10 min.
Have 5 essence to split between all my spirits (only gaining seance bonus when investing 1+ in that spirit). Moving essence is a swift action.
Must make choices for all spirits when I do a seance (10 min), whether I’ve invested in it or not.
Default investment (unless I specify otherwise):
. . 2: Champion
. . 1: Guardian, Spherecaster, Trickster
