Hello Everyone,
This recruitment is primarily a replacement for a previous one that called for 18th level characters. I and many others submitted for it, and currently no response from our perspective GM, so I decided to make my own. That being said all entries are welcome. The campaign itself is not chosen yet. Looking for 4-5 players
Recruitment will end on Monday 7/31 at 9:00AM EST. Up until that point you may make changes to your characters. That’s right there’s an s there. You may submit 2 characters if you wish. I will review them all and post my decisions on 7/31 or 8/1 depending on number of submissions.

Feats- Power attack, piranha strike, and deadly aim are all free feats for everyone.
House Rule: If while attacking you roll a 20, and you roll a second 20 on your confirmation roll, Roll a third time. If it is also a 20 you had a perfect swing/shot. You may choose to either kill the creature you are attacking, or leave it unconscious at -1 HP.
Backstory – If you have one great include it, if not, don’t worry about it. A short description of your character personality is fine.
For all submissions please answer the following questions:
What would you rather play: A slightly modified high level module like WarWitch legacy or the Moonscar, a modified end of an Adventure path such as Rise of the Runelords, or a short original adventure written by a guy that you have no idea if he is any good at that sort of thing or not?
Your character walks into a bar. What is the first thing they do?
Your character learns that an evil wizard is gathering power to try and invade the country that is the enemy of your native homeland. No one else seems to notice or care. What do you do?

You are given 30,000G. However with it you can only buy 1 non magical thing from Ultimate Equipment. You simply get 30,000G worth of that thing. What do you choose?
Please let me know if you have any questions.
List of changes for those who had made characters for rorek55’s recruitment.
Changes
• Templates changed from “I have a plan” to NO
• Unchained Version of classes changed from Must play Unchained version to May choose regular or Unchained
• Leadership to NO. Sorry it’s not a balance thing, it’s about keeping things moving, and concentrating on your character, not his/her following since I’m not yet sure what kind of short adventure this will be.
Please also answer the 5 questions.

About your questions:
- I would rather play a modified end to an Adventure Path I think - the last few scenarios or encounters - than a high-level module like the Witchwar Legacy... unless said module looks really narratively fascinating instead of just being a random difficult module.
1. After folding in his folding plate, Azorn loudly demands a very large drink, takes the most comfortable piece of seating nearest the fire (or moves seating over to the fire it it isn't available) and kicks off his boots. He relaxes, taking up as much space and time as he can get away with and drinking a lot without paying for it.
2. Azorn, being a king, would unite a strike force of his greatest warriors and servants. He would travel directly to the home of the wizard and attack head-on with his full strength. Once he had won, Azorn would send hit men after the wizard's entire family, and all of his friends to ensure that revenge would never come to pass.
3. With a ferocious roar, Azorn would charge into combat against the dragon. Knowing that such a creature doesn't have any resistance to his greatest trick, he would challenge the creature. Manifesting a massive hammer made of magma from nothing, Azorn would strike at the creature with all of his strength. The blow would be hard enough to completely shatter the magma hammer, which would spatter hot lava all over the dragon in a massive fire explosion.
4. Azorn chooses steak. 30,000gp worth of steak put in his larder should last him for good meals for a long time, and good cows are hard to come by in the mountains where he has his kingdom.
What I'd like to play: I like AP's, particularly if we're picking just the last book or so!
Walks into a bar: Checks for evil outsiders, stand in the corner looking disapproving, try not to hit anyone or get horribly annoyed.
Evil Wizard: I teleport into his base/throne room and give him a good smacking. If anyone else can be convinced to come then help is always good!
Ally: Run in, eat the AAO if need be (AC51 should help), grab the ally and Abundant step back out with the ally. Next round Step back in and lay down smack!
30,000gp: without reading all of UE I'm going to buy servants - that way I can create just about anything! Otherwise, probably mithril cooking utensils - they're completely pointless but make the best pancakes!
HedwickTheWorldly's first submission: Solomon Volstadt (Separatist Cleric of Cayden Cailean 8/Brewkeeper 10)
Questions:
1. I love the idea of either a modified adventure or a brand new/homebrew thing. I think APs often have a lot of continuity and build-up, and for people who haven't played one, the last book seems bizarre out of context.
2. Solomon would enter the bar wearing his Shawl of the Crone, looking like a decrepit old woman. She'd hobble in, find a place by the fire, and start telling stories. She'd taste the local beer, and if it was passable, she'd even pay for it. If it wasn't, she'd simply drink her own, from her pack. She'd tell stories about Solomon, Champion of the Accidental God himself, and his exploits.
3. Well, a chap has to do what a chap has to do, right? If nobody else is paying attention to the goings-on of a terrible evil, I s'pose that means it's a chap's responsibility to handle it. By himself, if necessary. After all, it's what ol' Cayden would've done, and at least it'll make a good story, right? It's better to have friends, of course, and it's more than likely that Solomon could bribe a few with promise of glory, of treasure, of beer. With his colleagues in tow, it would be prudent to storm the front door and solve the problem!
4.
Round 1: Move 30' towards my ally, cast Quickened Breath of Life, cast Time Stop
Round 2: Step towards her, touch her, ready action to teleport when Time stop ends.
Round 3: Grumble something about lack of preparation and almost being an Accidental grease stain, today.
Round 4: Time stop ends, teleport both of us to the nearest large city to gather some friends and slay the beast.
5. A fleet of 6 trained Hippogriffs, obviously. All the better to travel the world righting wrongs and doing deeds!
Rosa has leadership so will change that, Ill work out a way to get her sword the way I wish.
A modified end of an Adventure path such as Rise of the Runelords.
Waits by the door as most of the customers run out the building. Then stoops walks in and ask the barmen for a red wine and two slices of dry white toast.
Her native homeland is the Hell's, so he must be Chaotic of mad, she files a report and waits to see if she is ordered to pay him a visit. If not she dose nothing, rules are rules, If she is, she will go collect his soul and bring it in for questioning. Arr the bureaucracy of hell.
Rosa moves to the fallen hero,
She grabs her ally an Dimension hops them both 60' away. While her Intelligent item costs HMW on the fallen ally.
"The HELLS have come for you WARM! best RUN!"
A single work of great art by a great artist, Something she can place in her office. Rosa likes art.
Hi! I am a late addition to the old thread, and found out the creation of this thread as a wonderful gift! I've never played Pathfinder at such high levels and that would be quite an enriching experience!
My character will finally be a ranged Warpriest. I have more or less in mind the personality and a vague story, and the crunch will be finished between today and tomorrow. But I think I can have a go at the 5 questions!
1-What would you rather play: A slightly modified high level module like WarWitch legacy or the Moonscar, a modified end of an Adventure path such as Rise of the Runelords, or a short original adventure written by a guy that you have no idea if he is any good at that sort of thing or not?
I would like to play the one option that ensures the longest and highest quality experience (mostly in that order).
2-Your character walks into a bar. What is the first thing they do?
He will probably look at the customers to check if he recognises anyone (for good or for bad)...
...then check which football team shield is displayed near the TV (to avoid engaging in dead-end arguments over endless beers :P).
3-Your character learns that an evil wizard is gathering power to try and invade the country that is the enemy of your native homeland. No one else seems to notice or care. What do you do?
OK, this one's tricky. Evil Wizard. Enemy country. Possibilities include talking to the enemy country and try to reach a truce to join forces against the Evil Wizard, getting to spy the Wizard to know about his plans, intervening in the Wizard's conquering agenda, and trying to profit from the (hopefully) joint operations to turn the relations with the said country from enemies to allies. All of this, though, doesn't mean he is qualified for it - specialists for every assignment should be found and trained.
4-Your ally is on the ground unconscious and bleeding out. Standing 5 ft behind their body is a Gargantuan Great Wyrm Black Dragon. You are 35 ft away, and it is your turn. What do you do (with rolls please!)
Most probably produce his Reach Metamagic Rod and cast any Cure spell on his ally from Close distance, thus stabilising him and maybe waking him up. I don't think rolls are really needed in this case.
5-You are given 30,000G. However with it you can only buy 1 non magical thing from Ultimate Equipment. You simply get 30,000G worth of that thing. What do you choose?
Arrows. Or cheese. Or both. Nah, sod the arrows, bring me more cheese. If you run out of cheese, though, bacon would do.
Rosa has leadership so will change that, Ill work out a way to get her sword the way I wish.
** spoiler omitted **...
Rosa, I went down the rabbit hole of how your sword works and got slightly lost. Can you describe it for me? The devil is bound in the sword making it more of just an extra powerful intelligent weapon. Is that sort of right?
We can discuss a way to make that work for you.
I'm thoroughly enjoying my choice of questions so far.
I will begin familiarizing myself with characters tonight, so I may have questions for more of you at some point.

Description: Pele stands 6’ tall, weighing 130 lbs. He has the typical reedy frame of most elves, with pale skin and light blue eyes. Unlike most elves, he wears his hair closely cropped to his head, with a narrow leather headband around his brow, bearing a single blue gem directly between his eyes. He wears dark red and black robes, with a heavy hooded cloak over all. A longsword, longbow, and dagger sit in sheathes on his person, while he carries a stout carved quarterstaff in hand. Several gemstones cut into intricate designs rotate around his head.
Personality: Pele learned very early in life that nothing comes without a cost. Through years and years of dedicated study, he mastered the elemental powers of magic, favoring fire and the pure destructive energies therein. His father, a potent wizard and sage himself, beat any idea of the use of necromancy out of the young elf, to the point that he will target undead creatures and the wielders of necromantic magic almost above all others in combat. He also learned how to master the difficult art of casting while under duress and dangerous situations. He now travels the lands far and wide, seeking out new knowledge and ferreting out the forces of undeath to burn where he can.
Background: Pele grew up hard, for an elf. The bastard son of a high counselor, he was made to know his place early and often. He spent his early decades cataloguing scrolls, shelving books, and working essentially as a slave/apprentice to his father. While not quite a social outcast, Pele took to the studies hard, in an (ultimately futile) attempt to garner true acceptance from his father. Luckily, he possessed the drive and natural ability to really master the arcane arts, and pulled himself out of that social standing through that work. Having mastered his magic, he now travels as if a forlorn elf, seeking adventure, companionship, knowledge and the chance to do some real good in the world.
Questions 5:
What would you rather play: A slightly modified high level module like WarWitch legacy or the Moonscar, a modified end of an Adventure path such as Rise of the Runelords, or a short original adventure written by a guy that you have no idea if he is any good at that sort of thing or not?
I am down for whichever the GM is more interested in. Fun interplay and a switched on GM is crucial for high level play, I've found
Your character walks into a bar. What is the first thing they do?
Assuming no threats present themselves right away, head to the bar and order a bottle of wine. If delicious, consider buying a case (or barrel) for the road.
Your character learns that an evil wizard is gathering power to try and invade the country that is the enemy of your native homeland. No one else seems to notice or care. What do you do?
Travel to known allies of the more martial/divine variety and offer to sponsor a campaign against the baddy. If all else fails, contact evil wizard and try to negotiate a pre-emptive peace, offering spellcasting & research help if needed.
Your ally is on the ground unconscious and bleeding out. Standing 5 ft behind their body is a Gargantuan Great Wyrm Black Dragon. You are 35 ft away, and it is your turn. What do you do (with rolls please!)
Move to stand over ally, cast telekinetic sphere, then teleport or gate out of there to healer allies.
You are given 30,000G. However with it you can only buy 1 non magical thing from Ultimate Equipment. You simply get 30,000G worth of that thing. What do you choose?
15 Mastodons. Then recruit a whole bunch of Ulfen or Irriseni to go a dragon-hunting in the Land of the Linnorm Kings, to go on the lookout for a crown.
I had submitted a brawler to the other game, but I kicked around a few ideas and decided that I'm going to make a vigilante (as I'm not sure how a high-level one plays).
With that in mind, here are the answers to my 5 questions:
What would you rather play: a modified end of an Adventure path such as Rise of the Runelords
Your character walks into a bar. What is the first thing they do? Shut out the lights as it will make taking out the guards easier.
Your character learns that an evil wizard is gathering power to try and invade the country that is the enemy of your native homeland. No one else seems to notice or care. What do you do? Infiltrate the wizard's tower and disrupt his logistics planning.
Your ally is on the ground unconscious and bleeding out. Standing 5 ft behind their body is a Gargantuan Great Wyrm Black Dragon. You are 35 ft away, and it is your turn. What do you do (with rolls please!)
Engage the Dragon. that idiot never should have went running in without being about to handle it.

A Rabbit hole it is too, but it works by the games mechanics.
In a nut shell its this Magic Item Possession
Outsiders and incorporeal undead are more likely to have the ability to inhabit objects than other creatures.
She also has Miracle as all Hounds of Hell have calling a Devil to bind into thire weapon of office. In this case, her case +5 Great sword.
In this way she bound the Devil into the weapon where it can use its Ex Su and other powers but has the from of a sword.
Leadership was to bind it as a cohort to her will
I think she can still do it, with out leadership just making it a possessed item.

Drogar is a 6'10" immensely muscular and yet oddly handsome half-orc with grey skin and green eyes. He has one protruding white tusk. He is garbed in winter clothes, including a polar bear cloak and wolfskin pelts for pants and boots. He wields a polearm with an adamantine blade said to have been forged from the tooth of a white wyrm dragon.
1. I prefer modified end to AP.
2. When Drogar enters a bar, it is to eat and drink and slap wenches' asses. Later, after eating and drinking the place dry, he tries to intimidate his way out of paying the bill. If that does not work, he runs a tab (see answer #4).
3. Drogar is wary of all magic but especially hates evil wizards so he will gather allies to go kill the lich. He tolerates clerical magic to a limit.
4. Upon seeing the dragon, Drogar grips his weapon and chuckles, "Should have stayed in the air, ya fool. Now I'm going to mount yer head on my wall and pay my bar bill with yer treasure!"
5.UE includes lodging and services. If that is allowed, Drogar would spend 30,000 gp on escort/companion services (high price of 10 gp per session) so he is good for 3000 female visits (almost 10 years' worth) to put a smile on his face.
I have done her sword and items to match new rules GM.

Just a dot. Will work on something later
thinking perhaps a ranger/planeswalker
The war with the undead was over, now new dangers where to be found in the world. But not today, today she needed a drink a place to sit down.
Rosa stoops and steps into the Inn true, then waits by the door as a few of the customers run out the building. Seems some owed debts to the Hells. Then stooping in she ask the barmen for a red wine and two slices of dry white toast. Heading over to the Fire and pulling out her own seat sits by it. Lights a Cigar and sits back waiting to see whose in.
Dot. Thanks for taking up the job of GM.
Hello! Father Laszlo is Jereru's Warpriest/Evangelist of Milani. Crunch is coming soon, don't turn off your TVs!
Since I rarely get to the end of one, I would prefer the end of one of the AP's.
Your character walks into a bar. What is the first thing they do?
Depends on the day she's had. Awful: large ale and a quiet corner. Good: tip the bard and listen to something nice. Excellent: Start hiring new people to be part of her crew.
Your character learns that an evil wizard is gathering power to try and invade the country that is the enemy of your native homeland. No one else seems to notice or care. What do you do?
She's no pirate but that doesn't mean she doesn't know how they work. She'd try to help by hiring out her services as a privateer for the enemy nation under the condition she would only attack vessels under the wizard's command. She'd also try hit and run tactics to disrupt logistics using constant powerful storms.
Your ally is on the ground unconscious and bleeding out. Standing 5 ft behind their body is a Gargantuan Great Wyrm Black Dragon. You are 35 ft away, and it is your turn. What do you do (with rolls please!)
With divinely granted wings Chell swoops in past the dragons snapping jaw and swiping claws, to land near her fallen ally. She raises her shield to fend off its attacks while placing a hand on their dying companions shoulder. A pulse of light shoots through her comrade, bouncing them off the ground and shocking them back to life.
You are given 30,000G. However with it you can only buy 1 non magical thing from Ultimate Equipment. You simply get 30,000G worth of that thing. What do you choose?
Spend 15,000 to buy 1.5 million candles (1cp a piece). Once I buy all the candles I'll use the remaining 15,000 to fund a candle making company and create a monopoly.
Finally dropped off the Evangelist! Warpriest (Arsenal Chaplain) 18 it is. Crunch is about to be finished, only some magic item purchases will be hanging on till probably the selection day (or after).
I don't know how you could keep up with some many spells.
I'm going to agree with rorek55 and go with No on the SLA
Figure I'd ask again. Qualify for prerequisites with SLA?
Edit: for mystic theurge the difference would be in spells 9th wiz/ 6th cleric
Vs
Non sla is 8th wiz / 7th cleric
I believe that was the only question for me. Let me know if I missed you, looking forward to all the options!
What would you rather play: A slightly modified high level module like WarWitch legacy or the Moonscar, a modified end of an Adventure path such as Rise of the Runelords, or a short original adventure written by a guy that you have no idea if he is any good at that sort of thing or not?
I'd go for Moonscar or the homebrew, since I'm not familiar at all with either.
Your character walks into a bar. What is the first thing they do? He'd order a bottle of the best wine in the house and a glass. Lefty's a bit of a wine snob.
Your character learns that an evil wizard is gathering power to try and invade the country that is the enemy of your native homeland. No one else seems to notice or care. What do you do? He'd tell Queen Telandia. She knows him well, and she'd listen.
Your ally is on the ground unconscious and bleeding out. Standing 5 ft behind their body is a Gargantuan Great Wyrm Black Dragon. You are 35 ft away, and it is your turn. What do you do (with rolls please!) He'd already be invisible, and most likely flying.
Lefty would cast Time Stop, pick up his friend, and use his Robe of Stars to whisk her/him away into the astral plane. There, he would use his wand of CLW to get the friend conscious and able to fight. Then, they'd plot their revenge.
You are given 30,000G. However with it you can only buy 1 non magical thing from Ultimate Equipment. You simply get 30,000G worth of that thing. What do you choose? Easy. Wine! He'd go for the finest available, and put 2000 bottles of it in his wine cellar. He should live long enough to drink it all, if he paces himself.
Nkondo's answers to GM MT007's questions:
1. What would you rather play: A slightly modified high level module like WarWitch legacy or the Moonscar, a modified end of an Adventure path such as Rise of the Runelords, or a short original adventure written by a guy that you have no idea if he is any good at that sort of thing or not?
I'd be game to play any of the options above, though I'd love for the end of an AP to be modified such that it makes sense as a standalone adventure.
2. Your character walks into a bar. What is the first thing they do?
Find the bar's lucky cat (there's always at least one, to catch the mice!) and befriend it. Then sit at the bar and pet it while reading a book and keeping to himself.
3. Your character learns that an evil wizard is gathering power to try and invade the country that is the enemy of your native homeland. No one else seems to notice or care. What do you do?
Nkondo would begin arming people in border villages with Ironwood weapons and armor, so they could defend themselves if his plan goes sour. Then he'd scry on the enemy wizard to learn whatever he can about the specifics of the plan. Next, he'd teleport into the wizard's tower/fortress invisibly, and try to steal his spellbook and plans. Afterwards, he'd bring them to his teachers and mentors in the Magaambyan College, a place he knows to be well-defended. After convincing the college to mobilize, he'd face the enemy wizard 1:1, though his foe has been denied access to his spellbook.
4. Working through this now. Will post separately.
5. You are given 30,000G. However with it you can only buy 1 non magical thing from Ultimate Equipment. You simply get 30,000G worth of that thing.
Spellbooks. All of the books. For a library, and for his potential one-day students back at Magaambya, where he hopes to become Headmaster.
4. Your ally is on the ground unconscious and bleeding out. Standing 5 ft behind their body is a Gargantuan Great Wyrm Black Dragon. You are 35 ft away, and it is your turn. What do you do (with rolls please!) He'd already be invisible, and most likely flying.
Always-on Buffs: Mage Armor, False Life, Mind Blank, and Overland Flight
Nkondo, upon seeing his friend in dire straits, would immediately jump into action. There isn't much time before things become quite grim, so the first thing to do is attempt to shatter the Dragon's mind, leaving it a much less threatening opponent, and then buy himself some time.
Swift: Quickened Feeblemind (Potent Magic to increase DC) (DC 27), -1 Arcane Reservoir point (7/8)
Standard: Time Stop

There, now I have some breathing room Nkondo thinks to himself, as he looks down at his friend, bleeding on the ground. Still not sure how I'm going to get you out of here. Guess I'd better just kill the damned evil beast. With that, the Mwangi man rolls up his metaphorical and mental sleeves and gets to work.

Description: Rygar is a stout, well-muscled dwarf of around 85 years. He wears his dark brown hair tightly drawn back and almost always hidden under a helm or arming cap. He commonly wears exquisitely crafted full plate armor, polished and enchanted to a mirror finish, with a matching mithral shield. He is absolutely never seen without his longsword, a beautiful dwarven-made weapon of adamantine and ebony.
Here's my second submission, a dwarven fighter of rather significant prowess. (Side note: high level fighters are stupid hard to hit and do crazy damage)

I'll be adding to the list, tallying questions responses, and maybe making the list look nicer later. Keep it up! remember the deadline for characters is Monday Morning!
Hero Points? GM
I'm interested in making a character for this, but I have a quick question before I start: are we allowed to use the Magic School Rules from Inner Sea Magic; specifically, Eclectic/Esoteric Training? From the book:
"choose one spellcasting class you
have at least 1 level in—you increase
your effective caster level in that
class (including the number of spells you know and can
cast per day) by +1, to a maximum caster level equal to
your total Hit Dice."
When you achieve the appropriate Fame score between levels 8-10, the bonus increases to +3 in that class, and you get to choose another class to gain a +1 ecl in.
Sorry, but I didn't submit Danielle Corsin.
Also, a question: In last thread, we weren't allowed to buy a Cloak of Resistance, and instead received a Resistance bonus for free. Does this still hold true here?
I submitted Wraith.

I have no preference in the least. Just playing is enjoyable enough for me.
Your character walks into a bar. What is the first thing they do?
Sits in a corner, near the fireplace, on the floor while drinking water from his trusty waterskin.
Your character learns that an evil wizard is gathering power to try and invade the country that is the enemy of your native homeland. No one else seems to notice or care. What do you do?
Try to convince them of the error of their ways. If/when that doesn't work, they have chosen to forfeit their life to their cause. They can become a martyr.
Your ally is on the ground unconscious and bleeding out. Standing 5 ft behind their body is a Gargantuan Great Wyrm Black Dragon. You are 35 ft away, and it is your turn. What do you do (with rolls please!)
Lil understands that life is fleeting and dying for an ally would be a good death.
Click heels(free action) haste
begin d dooring(swift)| provide flank for myself for first attack and all subsequent attacks.

You are given 30,000G. However with it you can only buy 1 non magical thing from Ultimate Equipment. You simply get 30,000G worth of that thing. What do you choose?
Food and water. It is surprising on the different planes how scarce those can be
"The HELL'S have come for you WARM! best RUN!"
Lets see now. see now Unchained Intimidate says
The big bad Black Great Wyrm Dragon just S**ts itself and it's whimpering for it's mummy.
A Will save (DC = 10 + your number of ranks in Intimidate
Should'n this be 10+18? I'm having trouble to get how can you have 35 ranks in Intimidate.
Vs 10+19HD+6Wis=DC35
Also CR does not equal HD. You never managed to beat the DC by 20. Its' HD is 26 which makes the DC of the intimidate 42. You beat it by 13 and 18 respectively. With the damnation feat, you could make it frightened with the second roll but it likely would have tried to tear your head off after the first try.
Also, I hope you never fall in battle cause those feat make it near impossible to bring you back. Wish and Miracle are the only means.
Somebody is getting rules-lawyered! Damn!
Also, I've changed my mind again - I'm sticking with the eldritch knight statblock in my profile. It's much more flexible.

Also, not to pile on but you did not add -4 to your Intimidate check as you are definitely smaller than the gargantuan dragon.
Okay, I'm thinking of a rogue/fighter two weapon guy and a Tanky McTankFace Barbarian.
Wow thanks, I wanted to check the rules on that, I see a missed a few things, Ok check this then.
So Changed a feat giving Rosa an Intimidate Skill of +43
Rosa Vs Black Dragon.
Rosa says BOO!
Intimidation 1d20 + 43-4[Size of Dragon Vs Rosa] ⇒ (14) + 43 - 4 = 53
Vs 10+26HD+6Wis=DC41 [53-41=12]
Unchained Intimidate says
10 Ranks: If you exceed the DC to demoralize a target by at least 10, it is panicked for 1 round or frightened for rounds (your choice) and shaken thereafter.* A Will save (DC = 10 + your number of ranks in Intimidate) negates the frightened or panicked condition, but the target is still shaken, even if it has the stalwart ability.
Dragon Will Save Vs DC Intimate skill 41? or Rolled intimate 53?
Humm
save = 1d20 + 21[will save] ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35 Fail
Frightened
A frightened creature flees from the source of its fear as best it can. If unable to flee, it may fight. A frightened creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. A frightened creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.
It runs away, or she dose the same again.
This time its saves at -2
I wish Psionic where alowed, a Dread PC would be so much fun mixed with the Dammed feats.
Talking of which, Dammed feats, At this level and with the fact that death sends her back to her boss in the Hell's. It's really up to him [GM] if she's sent back again.

Well, not according to the explicit wording on the feat.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
You can already shake a CR 19 dragon on a 5 or better. Like a Dread is really necessary. Also the will save is DC 28. 10 + ranks in intimidate. You have 18 ranks in intimidate. I t can make that save fairly reliably.
(Side note: high level fighters are stupid hard to hit and do crazy damage)
But if a dragon pops an antimagic field, your AC drops by 10-20, attack by 8 and damage by 9 (or somewhere in there). I wish Path of War was available. Fighters rely too heavily on magic. At least PoW has movement options, buff, debuff, etc that is not magic.
Wow you guys are going to make this 18th level game so much fun.
You all know the rules so well.
*Finally, upon taking a fourth damnation feat, the character can no longer be returned from the dead by any method short of a wish or ^miracle. The character’s alignment shifts one more step toward the alignment of whatever creature serves as his patron.
^Miracle
You don’t so much cast a miracle as request one. You state what you would like to have happen and request that your deity (or the power you pray to for spells) intercede.
Rosa is Dammed, her soul sold to the hell's long ago. Her relationship with death is not the same as most PCs, She is owned and belongs to The Hell's. She works for the Hell's and only gets out her office in the hell's when her boss sends her to the prime. She is in a nutshell she's already dead. Her boss Devil, Caasimolar (Former President of Hell) is Noble of hell and her de-fact-o Deity as part of it's bureaucracy. That bureaucracy is what she worships, that is her god. The rules of order and law.
In other words IF she fails in doing her "Job" on the prime and is killed there, her boss decides IF she can go back as per her contrast and the rules.
------------
Its an 18th level game, Fluff has a large part to play when you get this high level, with bespoke crafting personal planes, keeps and other thing. Back at lower levels you could stick to the rules, but here at the high levels is the spirit and intent that count as much.
@Zayne Iwatani
Got ya, well that brakes intimidate at this level then.
Unless she wants to scare things she can just kill anyway.
As for Dread, they can scare EVERYTHING! hehe.
