say hi to dad if you see him!
I'm going to say that, at least until Lyn has time to weigh in, that the boneyard is likely more like a a group effort by all the various gods of death.
Yeah, I'm in agreement with this. Agartha has people from many different worlds and cultures and practically any deity you can think of is worshipped there in some form. I think that someone from a particular world with one set of deities would see their deity in charge there, but someone coming from the very multicultural Agartha would end up in a sort of outer waiting room where people are being sorted into which 'boneyard' they go to depending on which deity they worship. Sort of like a courthouse with each god presiding over a different courtroom.
K. Congrats on Star Voter DB3. :)
Also, sorry for my lack of posts today. The day has not gone as planned. Kidlet is home sick. He was up all last night puking. He's doing better now, but that mostly means that he wants attention and to be entertained.
Read him some of our posts. I find this entertaining. :D
Ice this all kicked off when I asked about playing a Dragon PC as I think carls heading to NPC mining land for Jiminiy.
Seems there is a lot of interest in doing the same, and something coming up in mouths nay years time that may let me and others by the looks of it play Gem Dragons.
;)
Well, emerald was one.
I call that character idea!
:D
I'm going Sapphire dragon when in say a years time this comes about but I'm not calling, the Race Magic, Everyone's free to play any PC Lynora OKs in my sleepy view.
Long term gem dragon holding PC here.
Kind of like the Crystal, but also like the idea of Pisonics with the Sapphire
So going with Sapphire.
Actually, amethyst is mostly psionics, I think.
But, they'd be even more play complicating than the new ones. XD
I think crystal works better with psionics, IMO. :)
The plan for the Emerald dragons was for them to be psionic as well.
I believe the same holds true for all the gems. They are innately psionic in the way the chromatic/metallic are innately magical.
Could be mistaken though, but that seemed to be the direction.
Oh. Amethyst is the only one we've seen, so I was a bit mislead, but still. :)
Not that big a deal.
All of the gem dragon, classically, have been psionics users. Instead of casting like a Sorc, they manifest as a Psion(Wilder? I forget, lol).
Btw, in case you were wondering, I say classically because that's how they were in AD&D(2ed) and 3.x. I have no idea how they are, or if they even exist, in 4.0 and due to them being a product identity of WotC, they can't exist in PF.

Yeah, I'm still using the 3.5 gems. And they are all innately psionic. I think there are conversions floating around somewhere. Just not official ones.
So, that offers a different type, as a possibility, just in general.
Mmmm that interesting,
I also like the idea the Sapphires are the most militaristic of the Gem.
With well trained army and under them. They come over as kind of sudo-Spartan in nature. Move that on to a setting of Tech and you get a kind of
Techo-Spartan race built around clans. Commanders and war leaders over more softer Gems.
Nice write up of Them here
Breath weapon: Cone of panicking sound
Terrain: Inner Planes, underground
Alignment: Always lawful neutral

Notes: The sapphire dragons of the Io's Blood Isles control subterranean domains beneath two of the larger southern islands. While most of the territory above their realms belongs to the emerald dragons, they keep a small portion of the surface area as their own as well as the extensive caverns beneath the tropical jungles.
From birth, sapphire dragons are beautiful, with scale ranging from light to dark blue in color, which sparkle in the light. Because of their coloration, they are sometimes mistaken for blue dragons. Of all dragonkind, perhaps the sapphire dragon clans are the most militaristic. They fervently protect their territory from outsiders, going so far as to distrust anyone who even gets close to their borders. They work to keep their vassals in peak fighting condition, maintaining some of the best-trained armies in the isles. As most of the territory that interests the sapphire clans is below the ground, they rarely come into conflict with other dragon clans unless they attempt to take caverns currently in use. Only the black dragons compete with them for the tropical underground, and even they are wary of going into direct conflict with the armies of the sapphire clans. Most of the demihuman vassals serving the sapphire dragons are either dwarves or gnomes, as these races have no problems living and working beneath the ground. Also, elves are too much like drow, whom these dragons consider to be one of their natural enemies. Dwarven vassals are treated little better than slaves, as the two species were once at war, and they are almost never granted the kindred bond. This honour is usually reserved for gnome only. Giant spiders make up most of a sapphire dragon's diet, and great hunts are conducted through the subterranean tunnels to find these delicacies. When a dragon lord feeling particularly lazy, it will send its Dwarven vassals into the tunnels in search of the spiders. Of course, they must capture the spiders alive. While militaristic and warlike, the sapphire dragons are not quick to attack. They prefer to observe intruders (all visitors are intruders) so that they can plan how to deal with them. If drow or Dwarves from another clan approach, they are immediately attacked. Others can often at least make some gesture of friendship or parlay before being told to leave. If a sapphire dragon or its treasure is ever threatened, it attacks immediately with its breath weapon, spells, and physical attacks. It uses psionics and special abilities to escape if faced with a more powerful foe. Sapphire dragons take a single mate for long periods of time, however sapphires seek to possess a mate to enhance their prestige and status more than other reasons
In this setting the Idea being they would be very capable for the mass space combat that is the kind of norm for the Empire.
With uniforms troops, ships the works with in their sub-culture for the Gems.
Some Links
Is there a specific order we have to find the dragon planets in or could we find sapphire or emerald first? :D
As said before, Sardior does not exist in this setting.
And the info given in that wiki may or may not be entirely accurate for the setting.
Also DB3 is partially responsible for the quest to find the other worlds as it's his character who has the map. And he's running at least one of the other worlds I think. I think FCD may be running one of the others. But I've forgotten which ones they were. I know I'm running Haven (where the Crystal dragons live). Anyways, order found is somewhat up to DB3.

Forgot to mention:
Finished our first performance of the play I'm in. Another tomorrow night too. :)

Dang, I thought having a bunch of new little gems flying around was gonna happen.
Ooh, if we get enough hatchlings though they can make a swarm! :D
that would be terrifying
Speaking of, that actually might be something I might want to play,
Not the swarm, but will any/all of the kids want/be able to join the elementary kids?
just going to repost this question, not trying to be rude

That's pretty far in the future. The babies aren't even going to hatch until months from now in game. And then it would be years before they were old enough to be school age.
At this rate, maybe our kids can play them.
XD

lol. I have a feeling we might do a several year time skip after this school year ends since it will coincide with a major plot ending. But it's still going to take us a long time to get through all of that.
Ooh.
I wonder where we'll be in a couple years, if we did it right now. Hmm...
Just wonderings, of course I know there's lots to do. :)
Lynora PM
I warned you.
Though, i have no idea what we are supposes to do.
There seems to be no cure.
Honestly, i would just have a willing volunteer polymorph any object into a mini self-sustaining sun exactly the size of the city. Sterilize the whole place.
Love that spell. Most powerful spell in the whole game.

Heh. A bit drastic. And Prof Yrrum still hasn't weighed in as he's busy running tests. You don't actually know what you're dealing with yet.
I'd love to find out the results of my tests, btw.

1: A sun the size of a city would melt the planet
2: To Sterilize the town you need need an object kicking out the power of as sun about the size of a soccer ball
:)
A "sun" meaning a ball of self-sustaining plasma. Not a actual sun.

You're the one who started this storyline off in the first place....
*hint* It's a book.....
Off to see The Desolation of Smaug now. Later all.
Couple things.
I realized that Tybalt can't be pyrophobic. A phobia is an irrational fear. Tybalt's fear of fire is completely rational.
Could someone link me to the page we use for Air Bending?

You could have him have reactions to fire be irrational. Like freaking out and snuffing out small candles, avoiding birthday cakes, etc.
However,
You haven't been truly RPing his fear as best you can. Every time you're around Dave you should be a near wreck, worried that he'll use a fire spell, power or ability. Even if it makes zero sense for him to do so, you know he's somewhat of a pyromancer.
Also, Firebirds should PUT THE FEAR OF THE GODS in you. Just seeing Igni, Raelle(where there's smoke, there's fire), and the rest should send you running in the other direction via teleportation, cuz actual running is too slow.

here is the link for what I used.
here is another version but I never really looked over this one too much
OK. That's kind of extreme.
Fire is /the/ most common type of elemental spell.
I would be @#$%ed up if I knew /anyone/ around me could do magic.
It's also not an actual phobia.
He wouldn't use fire for /anything/ unless it's to help other people. Never for himself.
And he recognizes the look Dave gets when he plans on using fire. That look scares him, but he's too into Dave to be like that all the time.
He isn't quite as pyrophobic as I've talked about.
That would be like us being deathly afraid of firearms or chainsaws.

[facepalm]
You have access to a library containing every book ever written....
You're totally just messing with me now, aren't you?
Also, yeah, I can't see Tybs being scared of Raelle at all. She can barely summon a spark.
I could see him being outright scared of Igni since the guy goes around working metal with his hands using his natural fire abilities.
I deal double damage to those with the cold subtype instead of an extra half, too.
Well, ya. Igni makes sense because he's all fire all the time.
Raelle is fine, he's probably his favorite firebird, outside of Pyry if he even counts.
He can be OK with Ardiente as long as he doesn't start throwing around fire.
Igni is pretty d@m scary to him with the super heated metal and all.
Mithros isn't really around enough for him to scare me. XD
I think that Asha will be OK, since she doesn't do fire either.
Ignace would be pretty scary too, if I see her for sewing, but if she stays calm, it's fine. :)
I don't really see Chara at all. *shrugz*
