50300 + base value of the weapon. 50000 for the +5 Enhancement, 300 for the masterwork component, plus the base value of the weapon.

If it's a special material, the 300 can be subsumed by the cost of Adamantite or other materials.

My players at 13/6 right now range in unbuffed ACs from 25 (a Witch) to 36 (Captain +14 Dex Mod the Gunslinger). By the time they reach the Marilith I fully expect everyone but the Witch to exceed AC 40. My players resemble Magnuskn's to a large degree, having 14 something years of 3.X/P experience, not to mention years of earlier systems.

My biggest complaint for this AP is the endless assumptions that NPC X will teleport away at Y HP. Thanks to Legendary Item, both my Bard and Gunslinger have Phase Locking Firearms. Nothing teleports away. Ever. When a stat block reads "teleports away at X HP" you can just substitute "dies, tired, running away from a hail of bullets and flying swordstrokes".

As Whovians, our group pronounces Galfrey as ROH-Mah-Nah-De-Vor-Ra-Teh-LOON-Dar IV, Lady President of Gallifrey and Mendev. This tends to confuse her, but it's entirely sincere and respectful, so she's game enough to run with it. They're hardcore like that.

Perception checks have yet to detect K-9 Mark II, but the PCs continue to try.

Mystic Theurge to the rescue! Wiz/Clr/Mystic Theurge

Step -1: Cast Blood Money to avoid the Restoration material costs.
Step 0: Cast Contingency: Restoration - if I suffer any new ability damage after this point.
Step 1: Cast Blood Money - take 52 points of Str damage
Step 1a: Contingency kicks in, immediately and instantly curing all the Str damage
Step 2: Cast Wish for free.
Step 3: Watch as DM suddenly has your deity bless you with no longer having blood, but another substance in your body. Substance functions exactly as blood except is not suitable for Blood Money.

I'm looking for some clarification/feedback/validation on Divine Source. One of my Wrath of the Righteous players wants to take this ability, and I want to make sure I'm implementing it properly.

Divine Source (Su) wrote:


(1) You can grant divine spells to those who follow your cause, allowing them to select you as their deity for the purposes of determining their spells and domains.
(2) Select two domains upon taking this ability.
(3) These domains must be alignment domains matching your alignment if possible, unless your alignment is neutral.
(4) You grant access to these domains as if you were a deity.
(5) Creatures that gain spells from you don't receive any spells per day of levels higher than your tier; they lose those spell slots.
(6) In addition, you can cast spells from domains you grant as long as their level is equal to or less than your tier.
(7) Each day as a spell-like ability, you can cast one spell of each level equal to or less than your tier (selecting from those available to you from your divine source domains).
(8) If you're a cleric or you venerate a deity, you may change your spell domains to those you grant others.
(9) At 6th tier and 9th tier, you can select this ability again, adding one domain and two subdomains to your list each time and adding their spells to the list of those that you can cast.

Based on my reading, I stipulate the following:

1) A LG Oracle must take both Law and Good domains as their first choices, per sentence 3.
2) Said LG Oracle would add the spell lists of their selected domains (up to their tier) to their spells known per sentence 5.
3) In addition to adding the spells to their spell known list, said Oracle can use one Domain spell per spell level (limited by their tier) as a SLA, per sentence 7.

Any disagreements?

Now here come my questions.
4) Does a character get access to the Domain powers of their selected domains? The language stipulates access to spells limited by Tier, but doesn't mention granted powers (or other abilities, for example Travel's +10' of movement). It's sort of odd they could give those powers to others but not have access to it themselves, so I'm inclined to grant them.
5) Per sentence 9, when selecting subdomains, is the character required to already have the Associated Domain? A cleric would not normally be allowed to have both a subdomain and it's associated domain, but it strikes me that the character should do so in this case.
6) Sentence 8 strikes me as a little clunky. Does this imply that divine caster characters who worship a particular deity also get domain slots? My immediate reaction is no - this is intended for Inquisitors, Domain Druids, Sacred Servant Paladins, etc. who have Domains already.
7) For those domains and subdomains that grant Miracle as their 9th level spell, isn't this a license to have a no-material component (SLA) "very powerful request" Miracle each day? If the character is granting their own Miracle, that pretty much blows the "out of line with the deity's (or alignment's) nature is refused" clause out of the water, assuming the player is acting in character. As GM I'm feeling a need to introduce a heretofore undisclosed Overpower to moderate such a thing.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Adventure Details:
Team Aasimar diplo-manced all three NPCs, dedicating one high charisma face to each one (poor Dentanis drew Horgus). Thanks to some good RP and rolls, all the NPCs were all Friendly before they reached the ruined chapel, and the Mongrelman were on board.

They proceeded to curb stomp their way up to and through the ruins of Kenabres, knocking all 3 safehouses off before arriving at the Inn.

Then they managed to roll the Gray Garrison in one go. The only speed bump was the Alchemist, and that due to Blur's miss chance. In doing so, they managed to pick up every devotion point except cleaning the Chapel, which they picked up afterwards.

Since there were five, they managed to reach the final fight at only level 4. They were refreshed per the encounter notes, but I "forgot" to give them any of the bonuses, thinking I'd phase them in if necessary. Thanks to the Gunslinger, the Paladin, and a purchased scroll of Haste, there were only 4 Babaus after the first round; they never got their bonuses. In the end, thanks to some good tactics and fairly conspicuous potion consumption, they won.

Based on my reading of their Mythic choices, I may need to give everything in the next module the advanced template. Possibly more than once.
