Posting to all games: I'm feeling under the weather and also working 60 hrs this week. I'll try to keep up with stuff, but if I lag on posting, that's why.
@Sebecloki:
Understood. Thanks for informing us.
@All:
On the matter of what we do, at this stage I'd normally just have my character say or do something. The reason I for one haven't (besides being unavailable for a few days) is that I wanted to get a clear picture of what the party overall wanted to do.
Anyway, at the moment I see a slight consensus in favour of violence if we can't pursue this line of enquiry any further. The Unfettered Prince will negotiate a tad longer then attack. This will give other players or PCs time to interject if a consensus for leaving develops.
I don't think violence is necessary if the big guy intends to peacefully depart with his companions. I'd be more in favor of leaving to look for answers among the locals.
That's fine by me! We can wrap this up and walk. Or more likely fly.
I'm waiting for everyone to make up their minds I think...
Well, those who spoke ended up speaking about departing. So that's what we shall do!
Shall we update our sheets?
I mainly ask because the Unfettered Prince is going to visibly change somewhat. Mostly in size.
I cleaned up a few bits since my last version. This should hopefully be fully ready, bar the equipment and cohort (haven't had time to properly go over that).

M3: Eldritch Heritage (Mythic)
Eldritch Heritage (Mythic)
The blood of your sorcerous ancestor mingles with your mythic power to great effect.
Prerequisite(s): Eldritch Heritage.
Benefit: You gain sorcerer bloodline powers of the bloodline tied to Eldritch Heritage as if your sorcerer level were your character level – 2. For that bloodline‘s 1st-level bloodline power, use your full character level to determine its effect; for all other bloodline powers, treat your sorcerer level as your character level – 2.
Improved Initiative (Mythic)
You leap into the fray with speed and confidence.
Prerequisite(s): Improved Initiative.
Benefit: The bonus on initiative checks granted by Improved Initiative increases by an amount equal to your tier. This bonus stacks with the bonus from Improved Initiative. In addition, instead of rolling initiative, you can expend one use of mythic power to treat your roll as a natural 20.
Mythic Improved Iron Will (Mythic)
Your legendary clarity of thought allows you to resist nearly any mental attack.
Prerequisites: Improved Iron Will, Iron Will, Mythic Great Iron Will.
Benefit(s): Once per day, when you fail a Will save, you may choose to replace your saving throw result with 20 + your total Will save bonus (as if you had rolled a 20 on the d20 roll for your Will save, though this does not count as an automatic success). You must make this decision immediately after discovering your initial Will save failed. This benefit is in addition to (does not replace) the normal benefit of Improved Iron Will.
Mythic Paragon (Mythic)
Your mythic power is even more potent than that of most other mythic beings.
Benefit: Your tier is considered 2 higher for determining the potency of mythic abilities, feats, and spells. This doesn’t grant you access to mythic abilities or greater versions of mythic spells at a lower tier than you would normally need to be to get them, nor does it grant you additional uses of mythic power or adjust the dice you roll for your surge.
Power Attack (Mythic)
Your attacks are truly devastating.
Prerequisite: 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.
Combat Stamina (Combat)
You stop at nothing to drive your attack home.
Prerequisite(s): Base attack bonus +1.
Benefit(s): You gain a stamina pool. After you make an attack roll with a manufactured weapon, unarmed strike, or natural weapon attack with which you are proficient, but before the results are revealed, you can spend up to 5 stamina points. If you do, you gain a competence bonus on the attack roll equal to the number of stamina points you spent. If you miss with the attack, the stamina points you spent are still lost.
Special: Since you have a stamina pool, you can spend your stamina points to use any combat tricks associated with combat feats you possess.
Fey Foundling
Prerequisites: You may only select this feat at 1st level.
Benefit: Whenever you receive magical healing, you heal an additional 2 points per die rolled. You gain a +2 bonus on all saving throws against death effects. Unfortunately, you also suffer +1 point of damage from cold iron weapons (although you can wield cold iron weapons without significant discomfort).
Noble Scion
You are a member of a proud noble family, whether or not you remain in good standing with your family.
Prerequisites: Cha 13, must be taken at 1st level.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on all Knowledge (nobility) checks, and that chosen Knowledge skill is always considered a class skill for you.
When you select this feat, choose one of the benefits listed below that matches the flavor of your noble family. Work with your GM to ensure that your choice is appropriate.
Scion of War: You use your Charisma modifier to adjust Initiative checks instead of your Dexterity modifier.
Eschew Foci
Eschew Gestures
Eschew Incantations

Imposing Scion (social)
Magical Knack (magic)
Reckless (combat)
Bred for War
You tower above most other humans and possess a physique of hard, corded muscle. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Intimidate checks and a +1 trait bonus on your CMB because of your great size. You must be at least 6 feet tall.
Finding Vengeance (campaign)
This class is always a favored class to you, and your dedication to it is such that every time you take a level in the class, you gain +1 hit point and 1 additional skill point over and above what you would normally gain.
Paragon (region)
You are a product of Hermea’s breeding programs—either your parents were chosen to be citizens, or you were, but later failed to live up to the island’s high standards. Whatever the case, you are quicker than normal members of your race, and gain a +2 trait bonus on Initiative checks.
Imposing Scion (social)
The reputation of your bloodline grants you a degree of fearful respect. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Intimidate checks. If your bloodline is keyed to a specific creature type, your trait bonus increases to +2 when interacting with creatures of that type.
Magical Knack (magic)
You were raised, either wholly or in part, by a magical creature, either after it found you abandoned in the woods or because your parents often left you in the care of a magical minion. This constant exposure to magic has made its mysteries easy for you to understand, even when you turn your mind to other devotions and tasks. Pick a class when you gain this trait—your caster level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t raise your caster level above your current Hit Dice.
Reckless (combat)
You have a tendency for rash behavior, often disregarding your own safety as you move across the battlefield. You gain a +1 bonus on Acrobatics checks, and Acrobatics is always a class skill for you.
Drawback
Vainglory
Vainglory
You compulsively seek recognition for your deeds, making it hard to act with subtlety. You take a -1 penalty on Bluff, Disguise, and Stealth checks, and the save DC of any illusion you create is 1 lower than normal.
The antipaladin’s class skills are Bluff (Cha), Craft (Int), Disguise (Cha), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), and Stealth (Dex).
The oracle’s class skills are Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (planes) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int). In addition, oracles receive additional class skills depending upon their oracle mystery.

Defense Racial Traits
Deathless Spirit: Particularly strong-willed aasimars possess celestial spirits capable of resisting the powers of death. They gain resistance 5 against negative energy damage. They do not lose hit points when they gain a negative level, and they gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against death effects, energy drain, negative energy, and spells or spell-like abilities of the necromancy school. This racial trait replaces celestial resistance.
Magical Racial Traits
Immortal Spark: Aasimars with this racial trait defy the powers of death.

Special Abilities: A half-celestial gains the following special abilities:

Once per day, as a swift action, the half-celestial can smite evil as a paladin of the same level as its Hit Dice. The smite persists until target is dead or the half-celestial rests.
Spell-Like Abilities
A half-celestial with an Int or Wis score of 8 or higher has a cumulative number of spell-like abilities depending on its Hit Dice. Unless otherwise noted, an ability is usable once per day.

Rebuild Rules: AC increase natural armor by +2; Ability Scores +4 to all ability scores (except Int scores of 2 or less)
Fortune-Blessed Creature (CR +1)[3pp]
Whether blessed by the gods or simply born lucky, some creatures seem to live charmed lives. They are the fortune-blessed, able to beat the odds time and time again.
Fortune-blessed creatures look like normal specimens of their kinds, but many exhibit an attitude of near-foolish overconfidence. Fortune-blessed creatures tend to be risk-takers, and they frequently act without thinking. More often than not, however, this same impulsive nature gets them out of whatever trouble it gets them into.
Creating a Fortune-Blessed Creature
“Fortune-Blessed” is an acquired or inherited template that can be added to any creature (referred to hereafter as the base creature). A fortune-blessed creature uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature +1.
Type: If the base creature is an outsider it gains the chaotic subtype.
Armor Class: A fortune-blessed creature gains a +2 luck bonus to Armor Class.
Special Attacks: A fortune-blessed creature retains all the base creature’s special attacks and gains those described here.
Augmented Criticals (Su)
The critical threat range of each of a fortune-blessed creature’s attacks doubles. The doubling follows the standard rules for doubling critical ranges and does not stack with other doubling effects, such as keen edge or the Improved Critical feat.
Lucky Strike (Su)
As a swift action, once per minute, a fortune-blessed creature can apply a true strike effect to a single attack.
Skills: A fortune-blessed creature gains a +2 luck bonus on all skills. This bonus stacks with the luck bonus it gains on opposed checks (see favored).
Special Qualities: A fortune-blessed creature retains all the base creature’s special qualities and gains those described here.
Favored (Ex)
A fortune-blessed creature gains a +2 luck bonus on all saves and opposed checks, and a +1 luck bonus on all attack rolls.
Turn of Fate (Su)
Once per day, a fortune-blessed creature can reroll any failed roll it has just made. It must accept the results of the second roll.
Giantblooded Creature (CR +3)[3pp] (Stone Giant)
“Giantblood” is an inherited template that can be added to any living, corporeal creature of at least Small size and naturally humanoid shape that does not have the oni subtype (referred to hereafter as the base creature). Creatures that do not reproduce in the same manner as giants cannot receive this template. Furthermore, mating between giants of the same kind does not produce giantblood offspring.
A giantblood uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
Challenge Rating: As base creature +1
Size: If the base creature’s size category is smaller than that of the giant parent, the giantblood gains one size category (maximum Colossal). A giantblood that changes size does not gain the normal bonuses associated with an increase in size. Instead, it gains the bonuses/penalties outlined in this template.
Type: If the base creature is a humanoid it gains the giant subtype.
Speed: If the base creature gains a size category, each of its speeds increases by +10 feet over that of the base creature. If the base creature increases size and can fly its maneuverability decreases one step.
Armor Class: The base creature’s natural armor bonus improves as given on Table 2-21 and gains a size penalty depending on the giantblood’s final size.
Table 2-21: Giantblood Traits Final Size Natural AC Bonus Space/Reach Bonus Rock Throwing Range Increment
Medium +1 +0 ft. 60 ft.
Large +3 + 5 ft. 120 ft.
Huge +4 +5 ft. 140 ft.
Gargantuan +5 +5 ft. 180 ft.
Colossal +6 +10 ft. 220 ft.
Defensive Abilities: The giantblood gains rock catching if its giant parent has it.
Attacks: The bonuses on a giantblood’s attack and damage rolls changes based on its new base attack bonus, Strength modifier, and its new size modifier. If the base creature has any natural attacks the damage increases by one step.
Space/Reach: Same as the base creature unless the giantblood gained a size category. In that case, the giantblood’s space and reach increases by the bonus given on Table 2-21. Reach bonuses from specific attacks do not increase.
Special Attacks: A giantblood gains rock throwing with a range increment given on Table 2-21. If the base creature already has the rock throwing ability it uses either the base creature’s range or the one granted by this template, whichever is greater.
Abilities: The giantblood’s abilities change based on its final size, as shown on Table 2-22, even if the giantblood’s size did not change. Abilities reduced by the application of this template have a minimum of 1.
Table 2-22: Giantblood Ability Modifiers Final Size Str Dex Con
Medium +6 -2 +2
Large +10 -2 +4
Huge +10 -2 +4
Gargantuan +14 -4 +6
Colossal +14 -4 +6

Stone Giant
Stony Soul (Ex)
A stone-blood’s natural armor bonus improves by +2.
Solaric Creature (CR varies)[3pp]

Defensive Abilities: A solaric creature gains fire resistance 20 and the following:
Light Immunity (Ex)

Suzerain Creature (CR +1)[3pp]
“Suzerain” is an acquired template that can be added to any intelligent creature with a Charisma score of 10 or higher (referred to hereafter as the base creature). A suzerain creature uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature +1.
Defensive Abilities: A suzerain keeps all the base creature’s defensive abilities and gains the following:
Dauntless Courage (Ex)

Born to Lead (Ex)
So long as a free-willed follower of the suzerain is within sight and capable of witnessing its actions, the suzerain has a +4 morale bonus to AC, attacks, damage rolls, checks, and saves. Mounts, familiars, animal companions, and trained animals do not count as free-willed creatures for the purpose of this bonus, but cohorts and followers the suzerain has gained via the Leadership feat do.
Additionally, if the suzerain has any teamwork feats, it can grant a number of followers and cohorts gained from its Leadership feat equal to its leadership score the use of any one of its teamwork feats once a day as a free action for a number of rounds equal to its Charisma modifier (minimum +1).
If the suzerain has cavalier levels, the duration for its tactician ability increases by a number of rounds equal to its Charisma modifier (minimum +1).
Enchanting Presence (Su)
The first time a creature comes within 30 feet of the suzerain, its attitude toward the suzerain shifts one category toward the positive, if it was not initially hostile (Will save negates). This shift can be further modified by the suzerain’s actions, or it might change over time naturally. The creature must be able to see, hear, or otherwise notice the suzerain to be affected. This is a mind-affecting enchantment effect. The save is Charisma-based.
Abilities: Int +4, Wis +4, Cha +6.
Feats: A suzerain gains Leadership (racial HD count as levels for the purpose of the suzerain creature’s Leadership score) as a bonus feat if the base creature did not already have it

Stirring Speech (Su)
As a standard action, a suzerain creature can inspire greatness (as the bard ability) in its allies within 30 ft. a number of times per day equal to its Charisma bonus.
Organization: Solitary plus cohort and followers
Hide in Plain Sight (Su)
A shadowdancer can use the Stealth skill even while being observed. As long as she is within 10 feet of an area of dim light, a shadowdancer can hide herself from view in the open without anything to actually hide behind. She cannot, however, hide in her own shadow.
Evasion (Ex)
At 2nd level, a shadowdancer gains evasion. If exposed to any effect that normally allows her to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, she takes no damage with a successful saving throw. The evasion ability can only be used if the shadowdancer is wearing light armor or no armor.
Darkvision (Ex)
At 2nd level, a shadowdancer gains darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If she already has darkvision, the range increases by 30 feet.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex)
At 2nd level, a shadowdancer cannot be caught flat-footed, even if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A shadowdancer with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her.
If a shadowdancer already has uncanny dodge from a different class, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.
Rogue Talent
At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, a shadowdancer gains a special ability that allows her to confound her foes. This functions as the rogue talent class feature. A shadowdancer cannot select an individual talent more than once. If a shadowdancer has the advanced talents rogue class feature, she can chose from the advanced talents list instead.
Green Tongue (Ex) - Ignan
Benefit(s) The rogue gains Aklo, Aquan, Auran, Giant, Ignan, Sylvan, or Terran as a bonus language.
In addition, the rogue can attempt a DC 15 Linguistics check to communicate basic concepts with magical beasts and monstrous humanoids with which she does not share a common language.
Shadow Illusion (Sp)
When a shadowdancer reaches 3rd level, she can create visual illusions. This ability functions as silent image, using the shadowdancer’s level as the caster level. A shadowdancer can use this ability once per day for every two shadowdancer levels she has attained. The DC for this ability is Charisma-based.
Summon Shadow (Su)
At 3rd level, a shadowdancer can summon a shadow, an undead shade. Unlike a normal shadow, this shadow’s alignment matches that of the shadowdancer, and the creature cannot create spawn. The summoned shadow receives a +4 bonus on Will saves made to halve the damage from positive channeled energy and the shadow cannot be turned or commanded. This shadow serves as a companion to the shadowdancer and can communicate intelligibly with the shadowdancer. This shadow has a number of hit points equal to half the shadowdancer’s total. The shadow uses the shadowdancer’s base attack bonus and base save bonuses.
If a shadow companion is destroyed, or the shadowdancer chooses to dismiss it, the shadowdancer must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude save. If the saving throw fails, the shadowdancer gains one permanent negative level. A successful saving throw avoids this negative level. A destroyed or dismissed shadow companion cannot be replaced for 30 days.
Nanite Strike (Ex) (CL 6) 22 rounds
At 1st level as a free action, you can cause nanites to flow from your body and coat the striking end of any manufactured melee weapon you wield. When you hit with a melee attack using this weapon, some of the nanites infect the blood of the victim (Poison—injury; save Fort DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Con modifier; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1 Str damage; cure 1 save).
At 5th level, weapons you use with this ability are treated as magical for the purposes of overcoming DR, and the poison also deals 1 point of Constitution damage. At 7th level, the damage increases to 1d2 points of Constitution damage and 1d2 points of Strength damage. At 11th level, the cure becomes two successful saves.
You can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier; these rounds need not be consecutive.
Nanite Surge (Ex) (CL 4) +7
At 3rd level, once per day as an immediate action, you can cause your nanites to surge, granting you a bonus equal to 3 + your sorcerer level on any one d20 roll; this ability must be activated before the roll is made. If you already possess the nanite surge ability from another source (such as from being an android), you can use your nanite surge an additional time per day.
At 9th level, you can use this ability an additional time per day.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Antipaladins are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor (heavy, medium, and light), and with shields (except tower shields). Oracles less so.
Aura of Evil (Ex)
The power of an antipaladin’s aura of evil (see the detect evil spell) is equal to his antipaladin level. A paladin who uses smite evil on an antipaladin deals 2 points of damage per paladin level on his first successful attack.
Detect Good (Sp)
At will, an antipaladin can use detect good, as the spell. An antipaladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single Item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is good, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the antipaladin does not detect good in any other object or individual within range.
Smite Good (Su)
Once per day, an antipaladin can call out to the dark powers to crush the forces of good. As a swift action, the antipaladin chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target is good, the antipaladin adds his Charisma bonus (if any) on his attack rolls and adds his antipaladin level on all damage rolls made against the target of his smite. If the target of smite good is an outsider with the good subtype, a good-aligned dragon, or a good creature with levels of cleric or paladin, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the antipaladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite good attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.
In addition, while smite good is in effect, the antipaladin gains a deflection bonus equal to his Charisma modifier (if any) to his AC against attacks made by the target of the smite. If the antipaladin targets a creature that is not good, the smite is wasted with no effect.
The smite good effect remains until the target of the smite is dead or the next time the antipaladin rests and regains his uses of this ability. At 4th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the antipaladin may smite good one additional time per day, as indicated on Table: Antipaladin, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.
Unholy Resilience (Su)
At 2nd level, an antipaladin gains a bonus equal to his Charisma bonus (if any) on all saving throws.
Touch of Corruption (Su)
Beginning at 2nd level, an antipaladin surrounds his hand with a fiendish flame, causing terrible wounds to open on those he touches. Each day he can use this ability a number of times equal to 1/2 his antipaladin level + his Charisma modifier. As a touch attack, an antipaladin can cause 1d6 points of damage for every two antipaladin levels he possesses. Using this ability is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Alternatively, an antipaladin can use this power to heal undead creatures, restoring 1d6 hit points for every two levels the antipaladin possesses. This ability is modified by any feat, spell, or effect that specifically works with the lay on hands paladin class feature. For example, the Extra Lay On Hands feat grants an antipaladin 2 additional uses of the touch of corruption class feature.
Aura of Cowardice (Su)
At 3rd level, an antipaladin radiates a palpably daunting aura that causes all enemies within 10 feet to take a –4 penalty on saving throws against fear effects. Creatures that are normally immune to fear lose that immunity while within 10 feet of an antipaladin with this ability. This ability functions only while the antipaladin remains conscious, not if he is unconscious or dead.
Plague Bringer (Ex)
At 3rd level, the powers of darkness make an antipaladin a beacon of corruption and disease. An antipaladin does not take any damage or take any penalty from diseases. He can still contract diseases and spread them to others, but he is otherwise immune to their effects.
Cruelty (Su)
At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, an antipaladin can select one cruelty. Each cruelty adds an effect to the antipaladin’s touch of corruption ability. Whenever the antipaladin uses touch of corruption to deal damage to one target, the target also receives the additional effect from one of the cruelties possessed by the antipaladin. This choice is made when the touch is used. The target receives a Fortitude save to avoid this cruelty. If the save is successful, the target takes the damage as normal, but not the effects of the cruelty. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the antipaladin’s level + the antipaladin’s Charisma modifier.
L3: Shaken: The target is shaken for 1 round per level of the antipaladin.
L6: Staggered: The target is staggered for 1 round per two levels of the antipaladin.
At 9th level, an antipaladin adds the following cruelties to the list of those that can be selected.
Cursed: The target is cursed, as if the antipaladin had cast bestow curse, using his antipaladin level as his caster level.
Exhausted: The target is exhausted. The antipaladin must have the fatigue cruelty before selecting this cruelty.
Frightened: The target is frightened for 1 round per two levels of the antipaladin. The antipaladin must have the shaken cruelty before selecting this cruelty.
Nauseated: The target is nauseated for 1 round per three levels of the antipaladin. The antipaladin must have the sickened cruelty before selecting this cruelty.
Poisoned: The target is poisoned, as if the antipaladin had cast poison, using the antipaladin’s level as the caster level.
At 12th level, an antipaladin adds the following cruelties to the list of those that can be selected.
Blinded: The target is blinded for 1 round per level of the antipaladin.
Deafened: The target is deafened for 1 round per level of the antipaladin.
Paralyzed: The target is paralyzed for 1 round.
Stunned: The target is stunned for 1 round per four levels of the antipaladin.
These abilities are not cumulative. For example, a 12th-level antipaladin’s touch of corruption ability deals 6d6 points of damage and might also cause the target to become fatigued, dazed, poisoned, or diseased. Once a cruelty is chosen, it can’t be changed.
Channel Negative Energy (Su)
When an antipaladin reaches 4th level, he gains the supernatural ability to channel negative energy like a cleric. Using this ability consumes two uses of his touch of corruption ability. An antipaladin uses his level as his effective cleric level when channeling negative energy. This is a Charisma-based ability.
Spells
Beginning at 4th level, an antipaladin gains the ability to cast a small number of divine spells which are drawn from the antipaladin spell list. An antipaladin must choose and prepare his spells in advance.
To prepare or cast a spell, an antipaladin must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an antipaladin’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the antipaladin’s Charisma modifier.
Like other spellcasters, an antipaladin can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is the same as that of a paladin and is given on Table: Antipaladin. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score. When Table: Antipaladin indicates that the antipaladin gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, he gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to based on his Charisma score for that spell level.
An antipaladin must spend 1 hour each day in quiet prayer and meditation to regain his daily allotment of spells. An antipaladin may prepare and cast any spell on the antipaladin spell list, provided that he can cast spells of that level, but he must choose which spells to prepare during his daily meditation.
Through 3rd level, an antipaladin has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, his caster level is equal to his antipaladin level –3.
Fiendish Boon (Sp)
Upon reaching 5th level, an antipaladin receives a boon from his dark patrons. This boon can take one of two forms. Once the form is chosen, it cannot be changed.
The first type of bond allows the antipaladin to enhance his weapon as a standard action by calling upon the aid of a fiendish spirit for 1 minute per antipaladin level. When called, the spirit causes the weapon to shed unholy 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.
Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s cost (sorted and listed below).
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:
+1: flaming, keen, vicious
+2: anarchic, flaming burst, unholy, wounding
+3: speed
+5: vorpal
These bonuses are added to any properties the weapon already has, but duplicate abilities do not stack. If the weapon is not magical, at least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. The bonus and properties granted by the spirit are determined when the spirit is called and cannot be changed until the spirit is called again. The fiendish spirit imparts no bonuses if the weapon is held by anyone other than the antipaladin but resumes giving bonuses if returned to the antipaladin. These bonuses apply to only one end of a double weapon. An antipaladin can use this ability once per day at 5th level, and one additional time per day for every four levels beyond 5th, to a total of four times per day at 17th level.
If a weapon bonded with a fiendish spirit is destroyed, the antipaladin loses the use of this ability for 30 days, or until he gains a level, whichever comes first. During this 30-day period, the antipaladin takes a –1 penalty on attack and weapon damage rolls.
Beacon of Evil (Su)
A dread vanguard unleashes the powers of his vile masters to strengthen both himself and his allies.
At 4th level and every 4 level thereafter, a dread vanguard gains one additional use of his touch of corruption ability per day. As a standard action, he can spend a use of his touch of corruption ability to manifest the darkness in his soul as an area of flickering shadows with a 30-foot radius centered on him. These shadows don’t affect visibility. The antipaladin and all allies in the area gain a +1 morale bonus to AC and on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against fear, and also ignore the first 5 points of hardness when attacking unattended inanimate objects. This lasts for 1 minute, as long as the dread vanguard is conscious.
At 8th level, the aura grants fast healing 3 to the dread vanguard as well as to his allies while they remain within it. Additionally, while this aura is active, the antipaladin can use his touch of corruption ability against any targets within its radius by making a ranged touch attack.
At 12th level, when he activates this ability, a dread vanguard can choose to increase the radius of one antipaladin aura he possesses to 30 feet. Also, the morale bonus granted to AC and on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against fear increases to +2.
At 16th level, the fast healing granted by this ability increases to 5. Additionally, the antipaladin’s weapons and those of his allies within the aura’s radius are considered evil for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
At 20th level, the beacon of evil’s radius increases to 60 feet, and the morale bonus granted to AC and on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against fear increases to +4. Lastly, attacks made by the dread vanguard and his allies within the aura’s radius are infused with pure unholy power, and deal an additional 1d6 points of damage.
This ability replaces the spells class feature. A dread vanguard does not gain any spells or spellcasting abilities, cannot use spell trigger or spell completion magic items, and does not have a caster level from this class.
Invocation (Ex)
At the start of each day, an insinuator can meditate for 10 minutes to contact and barter with an outsider to empower him for a day. An insinuator can freely invoke an outsider of his own alignment. He can instead invoke an outsider within one step of his own alignment by succeeding at a Diplomacy or Knowledge (religion) skill check (DC = 15 + the insinuator’s antipaladin level). While invoking the power of an outsider, the insinuator radiates an alignment aura that matches that of the outsider’s, and becomes vulnerable to alignment-based effects that target that outsider’s alignment (such as smite evil or chaos hammer). None of an insinuator’s supernatural or spell-like class abilities function unless he has invoked the power of an outsider, and the alignment of the being invoked may affect how some abilities function.
This ability replaces aura of evil.
Detect Balance (Sp)
At will, an insinuator can detect strong moral leanings. This functions as detect evil or detect good, but does not actually reveal the target’s alignment, only whether the target is neutral (rather than good or evil) and the relative strength of that aura.
This ability alters detect good.
Smite Impudence (Su)
Once per day, an insinuator can beseech the forces empowering him to punish their shared enemies. As a swift action, the insinuator chooses one target within sight to smite.
An insinuator cannot use smite against a target that shares an alignment with the outsider he has invoked for the day. The insinuator adds his Charisma bonus on his attack rolls and half his insinuator level on all damage rolls made against the target of his smite. If the target is an outsider, dragon, or divine spellcaster with an alignment opposed to that of the outsider he has invoked for the day, the bonus damage on the first successful attack increases to 1 point of damage per antipaladin level the insinuator has.
Regardless of the target, the smite attack automatically bypasses any damage reduction the creature might possess. In addition, each time the insinuator declares a smite, he gains a number of temporary hit points equal to his antipaladin level.
The smite effect remains until the target is defeated or the next time the insinuator rests and regains his uses of this ability.
At 4th level and at every 3 levels thereafter, the insinuator can use smite one additional time per day, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.
This ability replaces smite good.
Selfish Healing (Su)
Beginning at 2nd level, an insinuator can heal his wounds by touch. This is treated exactly like the paladin’s lay on hands class feature, except it can be used only to heal the insinuator and cannot be used on other creatures.
This ability replaces touch of corruption.
Aura of Ego (Su)
At 3rd level, an insinuator radiates an aura that bolsters allies and deters enemies. Each ally within 10 feet gains a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects. Enemies within 10 feet take a –2 penalty on saving throws against fear effects. This ability functions only while the insinuator is conscious, not if he is unconscious or dead.
This ability replaces aura of cowardice.
Stubborn Health (Ex)
At 3rd level, an insinuator takes only half damage from diseases and poisons, and none of his ability scores can be reduced below 1 by these effects.
This ability replaces plague bringer.
Channel Energy (Su)
At 4th level, an insinuator can channel negative energy, treating his antipaladin level as his effective cleric level. If he invokes a neutral outsider for the day, he may instead chose during the invocation to channel positive energy, but treats his effective cleric level as half his antipaladin level. Using this ability consumes two uses of his selfish healing ability. This is a Charisma-based ability.
This ability alters channel negative energy.
Bonus Feats
At 4th level, an insinuator gains one bonus feat, which must be selected from the list of combat feats or Skill Focus. At 7th level and every 3 antipaladin levels thereafter, the insinuator gains one additional combat or Skill Focus feat.
This ability replaces antipaladin spells.
Ambitious Bond (Sp)
Outsider Servant: This functions as the antipaladin ability, except the insinuator gains a new outsider servant each day, whose alignment must match the alignment of the outsider invoked for the day. The outsider servant functions as much as an agent for the patron invoked by the insinuator as an ally of the insinuator himself, and may turn against him if he violates his patron’s alignment or interests.
Nature Mystery
Class Skills: An oracle with the nature mystery adds Climb, Fly, Knowledge (nature), Ride, Survival, and Swim to her list of class skills.
Bonus Spells: charm animal (2nd), barkskin (4th), speak with plants (6th), grove of respite (8th), awaken (10th), stone tell (12th), creeping doom (14th), animal shapes (16th), world wave (18th).
Revelations:
Flash of Insight (Su): You gain the cyclops racial ability of the same name. If you already possess this ability, you gain an additional daily use.
Natural Divination (Ex): You can read the entrails of a freshly killed animal or humanoid to gain an insight bonus equal to your Charisma modifier on one saving throw. Alternatively, by observing and interpreting the flights of birds, you may apply a +10 competence bonus on any one skill check. Finally, by charting marks in dirt or stone, or observing the behavior of sand when thrown into the wind, you gain a +4 insight bonus on one initiative check. These bonuses must be used during the next 24 hours and you must declare you are using the bonus before the check or save is made. Making a natural divination takes 10 minutes. You may use natural divination (in any combination) once per day plus one additional time per day for every four oracle levels you have attained.
Nature’s Whispers (Ex): You have become so attuned to the whispers of the natural world, from the croaking of frogs to the groaning of great boulders, that your surroundings constantly keep you preternaturally aware of danger. You may add your Charisma modifier, instead of your Dexterity modifier, to your Armor Class and CMD. Any condition that would cause you to lose your Dexterity modifier to your Armor Class instead causes you to lose your Charisma modifier to your Armor Class.
Curse: Foretold [3PP]
Your life fulfills the predictions of one or more important prophesies. You may choose to embrace, or resist, your foretold fate.
Effect
Subtract your curse level from the DC of gather information or Knowledge checks to learn things about you. You suffer a-10 penalty to Will saves versus non-mind-affecting spells and spell-like abilities of the divination school. Once per day, you can “take 10” on a check even you would not normally be able to do so because of distractions or threats.
At 5th level, add either augury or enthrall (your choice) to your spells known.
At 10th level, you gain a bonus revelation.
At 15th level, add screen to your spells known.
Bonus Spells
Each time a cyclopean seer would gain a bonus spell from her mystery, she instead selects a divination spell from any class’s spell list. If the spell is not on the cleric spell list, it must be at least 1 level lower than the highest-level oracle spell the cyclopean seer can cast.
This ability alters the bonus spells granted by the oracle’s mystery.
Assume Fate (Su)
As an immediate action when targeted by an effect that requires a saving throw, you can choose another creature within line of sight that is attempting a save against the same effect. The target takes a penalty on its saving throw equal to 1d4 + 1 for every 4 levels you possess. You gain the value of their penalty as a luck bonus on your saving throw. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to your Charisma bonus.
This ability replaces the revelation gained at 1st level.
Brutal Trance (Su)
Once per day as a standard action, you can enter a trance that lasts 1 round per oracle level you possess. While in this trance, you are confused, but each round that you can act normally, you can ask a single question as if using commune.
This ability replaces the revelation gained at 7th level.
Revelations
All cyclopean seers have access to the following revelations, regardless of their chosen mysteries.
Doomsaying (Su): As a standard action, you can pronounce doom on a creature within 30 feet. The target takes a penalty equal to your oracle level on either all skill checks, all savings throws, or all attack rolls (your choice) for 1 minute or until he fails one such roll. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to your Charisma bonus. This is a curse effect.
Flash of Insight (Su): You gain the cyclops racial ability of the same name. If you already possess this ability, you gain an additional daily use.
Prescience (Ex): You gain a +2 bonus to your Armor Class against attacks of opportunity and a +2 bonus on concentration checks. At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, these bonuses increase by 1.
This ability alters the revelation class feature.
Final Revelation
Upon reaching 20th level, you embody ancient cyclopes’ insight. You can use each of the following once per day as a spell-like ability: discern location, prying eyes, and stone tell. In addition, using flash of insight to select a d20 roll result equal to or lower than your Charisma modifier doesn’t expend that ability.
This ability replaces the final revelation of the oracle’s mystery.
Martial Flexibility (Ex)
At 1st level, a warsighted can use a move action to gain the benefit of a combat feat she doesn’t possess. This effect lasts for 1 minute. The warsighted must otherwise meet all the feat’s prerequisites. She can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + 1/2 her oracle level.
The warsighted can use this ability again before the duration expires in order to replace the previous combat feat with another choice.
If a combat feat has a daily use limitation (for example, Stunning Fist), any uses of that combat feat while using this ability count toward that feat’s daily limit. At later levels, when she gains multiple feats through this ability, she can use those feats to meet the prerequisites of other feats she gains with this ability. Doing so means that she cannot replace a feat currently fulfilling another’s prerequisite without also replacing those feats that require it. Each individual feat selected counts toward her daily uses of this ability.
At 7th level, a warsighted can use this ability to gain the benefit of two combat feats at the same time. She can select one feat as a swift action or two feats as a move action. At 11th level, a warsighted can use this ability to gain the benefits of three combat feats at the same time. She can select one feat as a free action, two feats as a swift action, or three feats as a move action. At 15th level, a warsighted can use this ability to gain the benefit of one combat feat as an immediate action or three combat feats as a swift action.
Mythic Tier 3
Ability Score
Upon reaching the 2nd mythic tier, an ability score of your choice permanently increases by 2. At 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th tiers, another ability score of your choice permanently increases by 2; this can be an ability score you’ve already increased or a different ability score.
Mythic Feat
Select one mythic feat or non-mythic feat as a bonus feat. You must qualify for this feat normally.
You gain another mythic feat at 3rd tier, and again every 2 tiers thereafter.
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.
Amazing Initiative (Ex)
At 2nd tier, you gain a bonus on initiative checks equal to your mythic tier. In addition, as a free action on your turn, you can expend one use of mythic power to take an additional standard action during that turn. This additional standard action can’t be used to cast a spell. You can’t gain an extra action in this way more than once per round.
Recuperation (Ex)
At 3rd tier, you are restored to full hit points after 8 hours of rest so long as you aren’t dead. In addition, by expending one use of mythic power and resting for 1 hour, you regain a number of hit points equal to half your full hit points (up to a maximum of your full hit points) and regain the use of any class features that are limited to a certain number of uses per day (such as barbarian rage, bardic performance, spells per day, and so on). This rest is treated as 8 hours of sleep for such abilities. This rest doesn’t refresh uses of mythic power or any mythic abilities that are limited to a number of times per day.
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.
Impossible Speed (Ex)
Your base land speed increases by 30 feet. In addition, if you expend one use of mythic power, for 1 hour your base land speed increases by 10 feet per mythic tier.
Punishing Blow (Ex)
Any opponent you hit with a melee or ranged attack loses the benefits of regeneration and fast healing for 1 round. In addition, if you score a critical hit against the target, it loses the benefit of its damage reduction for 1 round. A creature whose regeneration can’t be suppressed or ignored (such as the tarrasque) is immune to this effect.
Titan’s Rage (Su)
You can cause yourself to grow in size, becoming a terrifying sight to behold. As a standard action (or a free action if you have the rage class feature), you can expend one use of mythic power to increase your size to one size category larger. This grants you a +4 size bonus to Strength and Constitution, imposes a –2 penalty to Dexterity, grants you a +2 natural armor bonus, increases your natural reach by 5 feet, and increases your weapon damage based on the new size of your weapons.
This size increase lasts a number of rounds equal to your tier, and doesn’t stack with any other spell or ability that alters your size.
Divine Surge
Inspired Spell (Su)
(See FAQ below) You can expend one use of mythic power to cast any one divine spell, treating your caster level as 2 levels higher. This spell must be on your divine spell list (or your domain or mystery spell list) and must be of a spell level that you can cast using that divine spellcasting class. If you are a spontaneous spellcaster, you don’t need to have the spell prepared, nor does it need to be on your list of spells known. Using this ability does not expend a prepared spell or available spell slot. You can apply any metamagic feats you know to this spell, but its total spell slot level must be a slot level you can normally cast.
Tongue of the Land (Su)
Animals, elementals, fey, and plants are magically able to understand you when you speak Druidic, as if you were using speak with animals or tongues. If speaking to creatures of different types at the same time, you can allow all of them to understand you or speak understandably to just one type at a time. For example, if speaking to a group of animals and fey, you can make yourself understandable to all of them, just to the animals, or just to the fey.
Faith’s Reach (Su)
Whenever you cast a divine spell with a range of touch, you can instead cast the spell with a range of 30 feet. If the spell normally requires a melee touch attack, it instead requires a ranged touch attack.
Enduring Blessing (Su)
Whenever you cast a spell with a duration of 10 minutes per level or longer upon one willing target, you can change that spell’s duration to 24 hours. If the spell has other duration conditions, those still apply (for example, the duration of stoneskin changes to 24 hours or until discharged). A creature can’t be subject to more than one spell affected by this ability at a time; if another is cast upon the creature, the first one ends. You can select this ability a second time at 6th tier or higher. The second time you select it, you can use it on spells with a duration of 1 minute per level or longer.

The Unfettered Prince stands eight feet tall, with sleek black hair reaching three feet down his back. His massive musculature is easy to spot, since he only wears a loincloth, a leather strap across his huge chest, and an engraved helm sporting a pair of curled horns. Likely trophies of some ferocious battle.
That his face is hidden is no impediment to gauging his moods, as he is immensely expressive and unconcerned with deceit. Self-assurance practically radiates from his figure.
The Unfettered Prince knows of the Glorious Court, rulers of a realm of wonders. Nobility, the products of ancient and powerful bloodlines, competed and collaborated for power and position. He knows that he was a scion in that very court.
The Unfettered Prince can summon the might of the earth, the rage of the Burning Angel, and the secrets dwelling in his blood.
But he cannot remember much else.
It matters not. He knows enough. Above all, the two things which matter.
Someone has wronged him.
And the Unfettered Prince will have vengeance upon them.
I've been waiting for the discussion to settle down a bit before making changes. I'm not quite sure what I'll do with Eirikur; Henric isn't going to change much at all. I might adjust Eirikur a bit in regards to the animal companion, Dagun, since the new rules apply to companions now.
One reason I didn't have the Unfettered Prince introduce you all by name is that I'm not certain that everyone actually titled themselves out loud IC.
Also, are we pretty much fixed on the new build rules?
Regarding the build rules; Numenera was the campaign where we had an "extra" 2 archetypes thrown on top of things on each side of the gestalt. (Eirikur only has one extra on each because his classes do not have many archetype options of interest).
From Seb: "read above, I just changed it -- you just choose 2 archetypes for each of the gestalt classes and slap them on top of the class features without substitution." - that was about a year ago (dec 22 2018) and the last I can find on it?
Is that staying a part of the system for this game, or for all of the games?
it is
All of the games.
Rogue Genius Games Archetypes work with any class.
Hmm... I wonder if it's worth considering any of the listed archetype packages on that page as being "classless" archetypes that anyone can take, since they are all given as equivalent to the ones from RGG?
Most of them are worded in such a way to stand alone, and some of them - the cleric or oracle ones come to mind - might help fit some concepts together better that have been discussed on here recently.
I must have missed that... That opens some doors. I'll have to take another look at Eirikur for sure and possibly Henric too. Thanks for the clarification!

I'm going to try to edit all the build stuff and the house rules expanded document for all the campaigns this coming week, it's just kind of a big project.
I've been experimenting with the class build rules as they appear currently.
e.g. An upgraded version of Razan Al-Amin might look like:
Human Paladin (Virtuous Bravo)-Weapon Champion 12 with Oath of Charity (oath not a free archetype) // Bard (Arcane Duelist, Dervish Dancer) 12 - Holy Vindicator 2 // Mystic Theurge 2 - VMC Cavalier (Order of the Star) - Mythic Tier 2
Lots of channels, lots of dextrous swordplay.
I think I might put out a feeler for resurrecting the Mongol campaign so that people would have time to start working on characters for a month or so. I want to get all my current games over 1,000 posts before I start another though.
That makes sense. Razan was a character I got inspired to revisit to see how he might look with new rules applied.
There is technology all around in the setting. Its sort of supposed to be like a Dnd world where high technology is indistinguishable from magic. Do you have any of the books? I could show you some of the stuff if it would be helpful to understand the setting (I have almost the whole line of books except for a few recent releases). Some of it is clearly inspired by Greyhawk.
As far as I understand it, Numenera is a setting where the technology is "sufficiently advanced" enough to appear as magic and it takes detailed knowledge to know the difference.
I'm pretty sure that in this setting, our characters have a whole bunch of weird genetics combined with advanced nanites etc etc.

I think i have most of the books as pdf from a sale, didn't have time to really read them yet though.
Was mainly asking to see wether i incorporate something technological to my character or not.
Makes a great difference if you use a bow or a lasergun^^
Anything technological is good to go, knock yourself out.
This is basically an old school hex crawl a la Judges Guild Wilderlands in a new setting. I'm drawing inspiration from the Village of Hommelet and Resternford for my depiction of Halfstar.

Posting to all my games -- I'm nearing the compilation of the House Rules into a formal document: HERE is the file for inspection and comments. I think I've finished going through the magic system now.
Cheers, Sebecloki. I hope to be able to look over them during the week.
Had some more time to work on this and tried to add in revised advancement tables and some other stuff; tried to add in some page breaks for tables and sections to make stuff easier to look at; Here's a repost
I'm trying to only include stuff I've made significant changes to and edited to the point that it's impossible to easily just reference the individual 3.5 and PF iterations.
I don't see any point in including classes, since everyone picks such a bewildering array of stuff, there's no way to include everything. I might include a couple of popular homebrew things like the unchained ninja or beguiler if there seems to be some great interest, but in general I don't see the point of that.
Same for races unless there's some obscure something everyone wants to see in there.
I recreated the advancement tables to account for the additional feats, as well as for multiclass variant characters.
I included a new section on archetypes to include the gestalt rules.
I need to put something like that in for mythic perhaps.
For feats, I think the decision to make scaling varieties an option is the best -- there are too many feats to rewrite everything to scale, and multiple scaling versions of each feat as well. I'm going to allow anyone to rewrite a feat they want in a scaling version if they so desire, and if it's accepted by the group, then it's fine, and it will go in this document.
@Sebecloki: Do we upload our revamp once we're done, or when we get the go-ahead?
Also, a question. Is glassteel from 3.0 book Races of Faerun, p158 okay by you? I like the idea of a unique totem spear made the stuff for the Unfettered Prince's main weapon. It even has a fey vibe to its background.
The RoF version grants the same non-magical enhancement as adamantine and is about as light as mithril. For a large totem spear, that would be 12lb x 2,500g/lb for 30,000g just for the weapon.
I'm not interested in the revised version in Champion of Valour, p65, which is basically more expensive mithril. I'm pretty keen to have the Prince's main weapon be at least as sturdy as adamantine and to be able to overcome adamatine resistance.
Whenever you're done.
Glassteel is fine.
I know bizan said she'd be back at some point, but i think we're down to three. I think it will be fine if we keep up the posting rate but I want to leave open the option of making some pets or something to fill out the party sometime next year if they need muscle to investigate the local dungeons.
Right now, I'm planning basically a lot of rping introducing the town and it's inhabitants. This is supposed to be sort of an hommage to old school settings like Hommelet and Restenford which there's a lot going on socially in the settlement you can get involved with.
Thanks, Seb.
A period of social encounters can work out, especially since Charisma will soon be universally higher in the party.
I'm getting close to having Eirikur revamped. Focusing more on class levels than templates, and shaking things out a bit from the original framework.
I aim to sort out the revamp for the Unfettered Prince by the end of this weekend, including gear.
I don't know if I'll get his companion also sorted as well. There are a *lot* of rules to consider. I assume companions can join in whenever they're done?
Yeah just whenever. There are a lot of NPCs to introduce in this town -- this will take a while to set everything up.
Assuming it's still okay, I would like to put together a PC for this game.
Before I get too far into build and questions about things, would a powerful vampire warrior inspired by Sorin Markov and Dracula be fitting/acceptable for both the setting and the group make up?
@Sebecloki: Cool.
@Monkeygod: So long as they can cooperate with the other party members, I imagine they'd be fine. Not commiting atrocities is also a good idea. ;)
Seb, would I be able to create my own race for this?
It would basically be an imperious human, so nothing crazy out there, or overpowered.
If you want, I could write up a bit of history for them as well. Probably nothing too long, but I'm sure I can manage at least a couple of paragraphs.
That's fine, just make it about in line w/ the other characters.
That's fine, just make it about in line w/ the other characters.
How many race points should I go for? In the Mogol game, you suggested 31, but the PCs races here are 15 for Aasimar, around 9-10 for Changeling, and about 25 or so for Taninim.
Question for Seb/the group:: Are the RAW restrictions of "potion effects are set at the time of casting" and "cannot make a potion of personal range spells" still in place? If they are, are there any ways around those restrictions? I'm adding a splash of alchemist and Brew Potion / Mythic Brew Potion, and those two restrictions are a frequent headache... Lesser Restoration, for instance, has 12+ valid "configurations" that can be potioned out.
Secondly, are we running any of the divine rules that Monkeygod suggested for the Kobolds game?
Thirdly, do we get one line of Favored Class bonuses, or one line per side of gestalt?
@MG, I'd say drow noble (41) or less... but I'm also probably running a human or half elf or half orc for the rebuilt Eirikur if I change from the Changeling, so I'm not heavily invested in the balance of the races.
On the potions, I'm not sure if there have been any changes there. Though I have no objection to changing it.
Also don't know about divine rules.
I was assuming one line, but I'd be happy to be corrected.
Also no objection, though I'm mulling somewhere underneath drow noble for both the Unfettered Prince and Razan al-Amin (in the Mongok game).
I would say favored class bonus for both sides of the gestalt.
For the face issue -- this is kind of hard. What kind of thing are you imagining monkeygod?
I have no idea about the potions question unfortuntately.
Cool. I'll include those in the Unfettered Prince's rebuild. I'm still fiddling with a few things there.
For the potions question: Would this HOPF be sufficiently in-theme for someone drinking a potion to be able to choose it's effect, while still using the standard action called out? These would be potions I crafted for myself, too.
MAGICAL CONTROL
[Horrifically Overpowered]
You have complete control over your magic. Prerequisite: Spellcaster 1+.
Benefit: You can dismiss any spell with a duration you cast at will, even if the spell is not normally dismissable. You can do so at any distance as a free action. As a standard action, you may alter any variables of an active spell within sight you have cast. The new variables must be within the limits of the spell when you cast it. You cannot alter the spell’s location or targets. For example, you could alter a fire shield between a chill shield or warm shield, and modify the trigger conditions for a symbol spell, but could not have the fire shield affect a different creature or move the symbol.
I maybe found a way around the personal restriction, too; Mythic Reach Spell allows for shifting from Personal Range to touch.
