Sorry, both my kids are still sick, husband's sick, and I'm sick now. Not a good week. I'll post when I can.

Thanks.

I hope you all get well again soon. Take care.

Sorry, both my kids are still sick, husband's sick, and I'm sick now. Not a good week. I'll post when I can.

If we were neighbors I'd cook you a dinner (and then thrust it into your hands at your door and run away so you didn't get me sick.)

Feel better soon!

Hahaha! I accept your imaginary dinner with enthusiasm!

Does Draghis want to take the new scrolls? She doesn't need a check to use them and they might come in handy down the road.

Sure, but keep one of each for yourself since we know Draghis is going to get benched for a bit. Draghis will take two of each.

And who doesn't have many potions in their inventory? Take the healing potions!

Davok has one clw and one cmw. I don't really know the spread of potions among people, and I can't access the loot document from work. Feel free to just tell people that they have the potions in their inventory, now. :)

You guys should start considering level 5! It wont be much longer.

Nice!

My lvl5 will be Furious Focus for my feat, and my shield will become 1d8 (bashing) 2d6 (piercing)

For divine bond will pick Weapon (as oath of the crusade means that I can use it for Outsider Bane)

I'm looking at weapon of the chosen and divine bond for Fredric's weapon.

I'll post this now while I can. Assuming Sariel survives...

@Kaeldron:

While "enjoy" may or may not be the apt term, I hope your next few weeks aren't entirely woeful. Take care.

Story wounds are fine if you’d like Kaeldron out of action

This is all just an elaborate plot to get Kaeldron alone with Draghis. I see this now.

(See you soon, Kaeldron!)

Don't worry. Claire's onto them!

I miscalculated damage on my smite! That first arrow should be 21 damage. If she's an evil outsider, that goes up to 25 damage. The second looks like a miss so it doesn't matter.

*cries as he reads combat tactics...*

"doesn’t bother using spells with saving throws against paladins."

...so many good spells... she probably thinks Claire is a swashbuckler or rogue to be honest. Sariel seems like a ranger, everyone else though... I mean they could be pious fighters? If you guys had done several raids into this place she'd be better informed.

And casters can be arrogant.

"Of course *my* magic can break even paladin! MUHAHAHAHA!"

An idea. Every character “needs” cloaks of Resistance, amulets of natural armor, and rings of protection. As we are all paladins, our “need” is equal.

So, when they drop we rolls a dice.

1: Claire
2: Davok
3: Frederic
4: Kaeldron
5: Sariel

When someone has it then if the roll lands on them add 1, which if it is a 5 then counts as 1.

No discussion is then needed for who gets what on the common items everyone wants. Game keeps flowing. The next best thing to ABP for not having to worry about those common items.

1d5 ⇒ 1

Claire and Davok each have a cloak of resistance. Enjoy your +2 cloak, Frederic!

1d5 ⇒ 2

Oh, and it looks like the amulet is mine.

Fredric may not hit often, but the Abyss will have a hard time killing him. Or any of us! :D

"I have no experience handling strange rods."

Davok looks at the others.

"Do any among you have experience with another's rod?"

I apologize from the bottom of my hear that I wasn't strong enough to resist this.

I'm dying...

You should feel bad.

But it was still amusing. ;)

I edited Fredric's post. IC because he's pretty impatient and OOC to move things along. If someone seriously wants to speak up, I'm all for that IC or OOC.

Welcome to level 5

Enjoy your one fight template, soon you will be getting your first Mythic Tier!

If anyone is a fan of DS9 I like to imagine the visions a bit like the ones the Prophets send.

Oh, wow.

I'm looking forward to this fight!

I’m back! Kinda! Still in Fort Polk, just got my phone. But still in the woods and no charger until tomorrow night.

Training was so bad that one of my best times was getting tear gassed while eating lunch. JRTC is Hell. But I’m back! Catching up and leveling up

Lvl5:

HP: +8
BaB: +1
Saves: +0
Feat; Furious Focus
Divine Bond:

“The first type of bond allows the paladin to enhance her weapon as a standard action by calling upon the aid of a celestial spirit for 1 minute per paladin level. When called, the spirit causes the weapon to shed light as a torch. At 5th level, this spirit grants the weapon a +1 enhancement bonus. For every three levels beyond 5th, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +6 at 20th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon bonuses to a maximum of +5, or they can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: axiomatic, brilliant energy, defending, disruption, flaming, flaming burst, holy, keen, merciful, and speed. ”

Oath of the Crusade

“At 5th level, the paladin adds evil outsider bane to the list of weapon special abilities that can be added to her weapon and removes f laming from the list.

This ability alters divine bond.”

This is awesome.

@Kaeldron: I may have laughed out loud. But I'm glad you're getting near the end.

@Sariel: The delicious understatement!

Level 5 Oath of Vengeance Paladin

54 HP (44+10)

BAB +1

Skills:
Intimidate, Knowledge History, Knowledge Religion, Sense Motive

Feat: Weapon Focus (Bastard Sword) - prequisite for Weapon of the Chosen

Class Features: Divine Bond

Weapon. Definitely weapon.

Spells:

2 x 1st level

End of Book One. Time for a bit of down time...

...but you guys just gained you first mythic tier and hit level six... the shiny template is gone however!

Also your traits kind of mutate becoming more powerful!

@Fredric
Stolen Fury
The PC gains a +2 trait bonus on Fortitude saves. By expending one use of mythic power as a swift action, she can ignore a single demon’s damage reduction for 1 minute, and increases the critical multiplier of any weapon she wields against that demon by 1.

@Sariel
Child of the Crusades
The PC gains a +2 trait bonus on Will saves. Whenever he successfully aves against a mind-affecting effect from a demon, as an immediate action the PC can expend one use of mythic power to cause the demon to become staggered for a number of rounds equal to the PC’s mythic tier. The demon can reduce this effect to 1 round by making a successful Will save (DC = 10 + the PCs’ mythic tier + the PC’s Charisma modifier).

@Kaeldron
Exposed to Awfulness: The PC gains +3 hit points per level. When she is reduced to negative hit points by an attack or effect from a demon, as an immediate action the PC can expend one use of mythic power to heal damage equal to 2d6 + twice her mythic tier. This healing occurs
after the damage is done—if the damage is enough to kill the PC, she cannot activate this ability.

@Davok, Claire
Touched by Divinity: The PC can select a second domain granted by his affiliated deity. He can use the 1st-level spells of both domains as spell-like abilities a number of times per day each equal to his mythic tier. By expending one use of mythic power, he may use any of these two domains’ spells as a spell-like ability, but may only use spells of a level equal to or less than his mythic tier.

End of Book One. Time for a bit of down time...

...but you guys just gained you first mythic tier and hit level six... the shiny template is gone however!

Also your traits kind of mutate becoming more powerful!

Whoo!

Wooo! Loads of Hp!

Paladin 6
Lvl 6:
HP: +8
Saves: +1 All
BaB: +1 (Iterative attack!)
Skills: +2
Paladin Mercy: Enfeebled: The paladin dispels any magical effects that are reducing one of the target’s ability scores (paladin’s choice)
Channeling: 1d6->2d6

Mythic 1
Mythic Trait: +18 HP
Mythic Guardian: +5 HP
Mythic Ability: Sudden Block (As an immediate action, you can expend one use of mythic power to hinder a melee attack made against you or an adjacent ally. Add your tier to your AC or the ally’s AC against this attack. The creature making the attack must make two attack rolls and take the lower result. Once the attack is resolved, you or your ally (your choice) can make one melee attack against the creature. The damage from this attack bypasses all damage reduction.)
Mythic Feat: Dual Path Champion (Fleet Charge (As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to move up to your speed. At any point during this movement, you can make a single melee or ranged attack at your highest attack bonus, adding your tier to the attack roll. This is in addition to any other attacks you make this round. Damage from this attack bypasses all damage reduction.)

Hard to Kill (Ex)

Whenever you’re below 0 hit points, you automatically stabilize without needing to attempt a Constitution check. If you have an ability that allows you to act while below 0 hit points, you still lose hit points for taking actions, as specified by that ability. Bleed damage still causes you to lose hit points when below 0 hit points. In addition, you don’t die until your total number of negative hit points is equal to or greater than double your Constitution score.

Mythic Power (Su)

Mythic characters can draw upon a wellspring of power to accomplish amazing deeds and cheat fate. This power is used by a number of different abilities. Each day, you can expend an amount of mythic power equal to 3 plus double your mythic tier (5/day at 1st tier, 7/day at 2nd, etc.). This amount is your maximum amount of mythic power. If an ability allows you to regain uses of your mythic power, you can never have more than this amount.

Surge (Su)

You can call upon your mythic power to overcome difficult challenges. You can expend one use of mythic power to increase any d20 roll you just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the result. Using this ability is an immediate action taken after the result of the original roll is revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll. The bonus die gained by using this ability increases to 1d8 at 4th tier, 1d10 at 7th tier, and 1d12 at 10th tier.

———-

In total: +31HP!
In addition Kaeldron and adjacent allies can make the enemies reroll particularly nasty hits. For example: a demon with a scythe crits Claire. If Kaeldron is next to her then she gets +1 AC, the demon has to roll again, and one of us gets a free attack.

Dual Path is taken for more tactical flexibility. Guardian is too much defense, so the dual path is needed to make Kaeldron into anything but a punching bag.

@Kaeldron wheres the reroll ability coming from. I don't doubt you just not sure. Pathfinder builds are complicated without adding the mythical sauce!

@All "Legendary Item (Ex)
You gain a legendary item. This item grants a number of abilities equal to your tier (maximum 3). At 3rd tier, you can select this ability again, increasing the maximum to six abilities and causing the item to become a lesser artifact. At 6th tier, you can select this ability again, increasing the maximum to 10 abilities; the item then becomes a greater artifact"

This is great with the upgradable ability! With enough money a tier 1 character can upgrade their legendary item in eight hours... other restrictions matter a lot less. 100k+8 Hours and you can make your legendary weapon a +10 item.

@Claire Although legendary would be great with radiance it'll auto upgrade at certain milestones anyway so upgradable isn't too needed I admit.

“Mythic Ability: Sudden Block (As an immediate action, you can expend one use of mythic power to hinder a melee attack made against you or an adjacent ally. Add your tier to your AC or the ally’s AC against this attack. The creature making the attack must make two attack rolls and take the lower result. Once the attack is resolved, you or your ally (your choice) can make one melee attack against the creature. The damage from this attack bypasses all damage reduction.) ”

So, as I read it. You post:

Bad Guy attacks me: 20 + 8 = 28
Confirm: 20 + 8 = 28
Scythe Damage: 8d4 + 48 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3, 2, 4) + 48 = 69

That’s be bad. So I use Sudden Block. This pushes my AC up to 20 and makes the bad guy roll again, picking the worst of the attack rolls.

Bad Guy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

So he misses. And the mythic ability furthermore let’s me get in a counter attack.

——

Mostly, though, I like how it is insurance against really nasty hits.

Oooh! Exciting!

I'll work on my level up and everything tomorrow.

Level 6 Paladin:
FCB +1 skill point
HP +7
Skills (3): Acrobatics +2, Disable Device +1
Background skills (2): Sleight of Hand +1, Linguistics +1 (Infernal)
Distant Mercy: At 6th level, a divine hunter can expend two uses of her lay on hand ability to use her lay on hands ability on a target within 5 feet per paladin level. Distant mercy has no effect on creatures harmed by positive energy, such as undead. This ability replaces the paladin’s 6th-level mercy.

Mythic (Champion) Rank 1
Bonus HP: 5
Hard to Kill
Mythic Feat (Extra Mythic Power)
Mythic Power 7/day
Surge 1d6
Champion's Strike (Distant Barrage): as a swift action, use 1 power for tanged att (+1 bonus, ignore cover/conceal and bypass all DR).
Path Ability (Impossible Speed): base speed increases 30ft, and spend 1 power to increase speed by 10 ft/tier for 1 hour.

I get you now Kaeldron, it's not exactly a reroll but it's a bit tough to do it normally in the medium.

So, I just realized my trait says you pick a domain and get its spell, not its domain power. For some reason I thought it was domain power and had 'elysium's call' down as my ability. Which is wrong! Haha. Correcting it now.

Her two domains are charm (love) and good. That grants her charm person and protection from evil as a spell-like ability once per day each.

I'll finish her levelling soon.

Paladin
+8 hp
+1 BAB
+1 Fort, Reflex, Will
+1 rank in Diplomacy, Spellcraft, UMD
+1 rank in profession (bartender, painter)
+1 Acid resistance
Mercy: haunted

Mythic Tier 1: Hierophant
+4 hp
Mythic Feat: Extra Mythic Power (+2)
Hard to Kill
Mythic Power
Surge

Divine Surge: Inspired Spell (lets her spontaneously cast any spell from the paladin spell list without using a spell slot at +2 CL)

Path Ability... Tough decision! I'm going with Alter Channel. This lets her mess with an enemies attempts to channel energy by making it either affect the opposite kind of targets (undead or living), or change whether it heals or harms, but not both. Channeled energy that has been changed in this way heals or deals half the normal amount of damage. If our enemies ever channel energy let me know!

Full details for all new abilities are in my profile

Interesting choice! I'm really enjoying seeing what people choose for their mythic powers.

Level 6 Oath of Vengeance Paladin / Tier 1 Champion

69 HP (54+10+5)

BAB +1 to +6/+1

Fort +1
Ref +1
Will +1

Skills:
Intimidate +2, Knowledge Religion, Sense Motive

Class Features: Mercy

Diseased: The paladin’s lay on hands ability also acts as remove disease, using the paladin’s level as the caster level.

Spells:
Still 2 x 1st level

Tier 1 Abilities:

Hard to kill, mythic power, surge +1d6

Champion's Strike:

Sudden Attack (Ex): As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to make a melee attack at your highest attack bonus. This is in addition to any other attacks you make this round. When making a sudden attack, you roll twice and take the better result, adding your tier to the attack roll. Damage from this attack bypasses all damage reduction.

Mythic Feat:

Power Attack (Mythic)

Your attacks are truly devastating.

Prerequisite(s): Power Attack.

Benefit: When you use Power Attack, you gain a +3 bonus on melee damage rolls instead of +2. When your base attack bonus reaches +4 and every 4 points thereafter, the amount of bonus damage increases by +3 instead of +2.

In addition, the bonus damage from this feat is doubled on a critical hit, before it’s multiplied by the weapon’s critical multiplier.

You can expend one use of mythic power when you activate Power Attack to ignore the penalties on melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks for 1 minute.

Champion Path Ability:

Burst Through (Ex): When you charge, you can move through allies and opponents almost as if they were not there to obstruct your path. You can move through squares containing allies freely, but you must succeed at an overrun combat maneuver check for each opponent that obstructs your path to the target of your charge. If the result of the check exceeds the opponent's CMD, you may move through the opponent's square and continue toward the target without provoking an attack of opportunity from that opponent. If you fail any of these combat maneuver checks, your movement ends in the square before that opponent, but you may resolve the charge attack against the foe that stopped you.

I'm thinking about making Fredric's sword a legendary item later on.

On another note, I may have to spend a mythic feat slot on a *gasp* non-mythic feat.

To do this plan, which I think actually really suits Fredric's brutal fighting style, I'll need four non-mythic feats but only have three slots left with VMC.

Feats: Weapon of the Chosen, Improved WotC, Greater WotC, Vital Strike

Mythic: Vital Strike

Also, in case anyone hasn't seen it, there is a guide to mythic:

Guide to Mythic Adventures

Fredric do NOT spend a mythic feat on a regular feat. Its not worth it and I don't believe you can. They're very powerul once you get them going. At the least there are mythic feats to choose an extra path ability. You may be too low tier to get maximise critical but theres a great other champion one called always a chance which meams you don't auto miss on ones... horrifying on a gunslinger.

@Claire just remember you spend mythic power to do that but its very nice.

Glad you like the build that much!

If a rebuild is allowed...

Trait: Omen or Berserker of the Society
L1: Power Attack
L3: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Bastard Sword)
L5: Weapon Focus (Bastard Sword)

Swap a trait for Heritage Weapon, which gives Profiency Bastard Sword.
Swap lvl3 feat for weapon focus
Swap lvl5 feat for Weapon of the Chosen

That saves you a feat right there, and gets the build started. Wouldn’t change much and you get started faster.

Made a mistake. Didn’t choose a mythic ability, only took the feature. My first time doing Mythic. So how I think it works like this:

(1) Choose path, get a feature (Guardian: Sudden Block)
(2) Choose an ability: Extra Mythic Feat- Mythic Power Attack
(3) Choose a mythic feat: Dual Path (Champion)

Damage goes from 2d6+14 to 2d6+17

I'm happy for you to do a bit of a rebuild Kaeldron.

Thank you :)

+2 bonus to a skill of his choice. Perception
5 permanent hit points. 80!
+2 increase to an ability score of his choice +2 Str: 22

Anaba is medium size for just this one level, so I'm going to go ahead and use that mechanically but treat her as large size for flavor so that it's not too jarring when she is suddenly large size when Davok reaches level 7. I'm also taking the liberty of having Draghis also understand Anaba's Beast Speech ability, but let me know if that's not all right.

Davok has taken a +2 to Dexterity and a +5 to the Ride skill from his blessing from Iomedae. I plan to get him fully leveled and mythiced today. And then I need to level up Draghis.

So for no reason at all, just confirming Anaba is a female wolf?

And does not have the exclusive trick.

This definitely will not lead to any out of combat shenanigans.

...Trust me!

So for no reason at all, just confirming Anaba is a female wolf?

That's what was implied when I called her a "she-wolf," but I appreciate your need to be certain.

And does not have the exclusive trick.

I don't know what that is!

This definitely will not lead to any out of combat shenanigans.

This statement will be true if all shenanigans turn out to be combat shenanigans!

...Trust me!

Pros and cons to being in the same party as another, lecherous animal spirit were weighed before I created her. There were no cons.
