Draghis Scarred-Sight's page

Draghis presses herself against the wall as Lomasi barrels past her. She reaches out to Davok as he rides past, casting lesser restoration on him.

Ability points healed: 1d4 ⇒ 4

"It will not yield, heroes! His fear blinds him to mercy! Retribution is all that remains!"

Sermonic Performance: +3

Draghis reaches out and manages to cast bull's strength on Lomasi before the rhino is out of reach.

Also, a reminder that Draghis has magic circle against evil going.

"Surrender to these champions, and you will have no end of people to talk to!"

While the others talk, Davok uses Detect Evil on the seven-armed rune.

Draghis shivers, and then casts Magic Circle Against Evil, centered on herself.

Draghis casts bless on the party and then transitions into a rousing sermon about how bugs over a certain size are inherently evil.

Bless + Inspire courage: +1 to saves vs. fear, +3 to attack and damage rolls

Draghis continues to use slightly problematic motivation to spur her allies to violence.

Inspire Courage +3 is still up.

Then she unloads her crossbow at the pink cultist in front of Sariel.

Ranged attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 1

Sorry for dropping the ball last round.

Draghis grants Lomasi a Touch of Good blessing.

"Heroes, the enemy bands together, for they realize they are no match for you alone! Show them how little difference their numbers make!"

As per inspire courage +3.

Draghis can't really see what's going on from behind Lomasi's giant butt, but she is able to reach forward and touch Davok's leg to grant her brother a Touch of Good blessing.

+4 to attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws

Draghis steps forward and takes in the assembled figures. Guessing that they're spellcasters, she takes a risk that a damnation spell will be effective.

Basically, if they have any spells with the evil descriptor prepared (prepared casters), known (spontaneous casters), or cast (anyone) they'll take damage as per the linked spell. If not, then nothing happens. DC 18 Will for half.

"You fought very bravely. Let Vildeis reward you with her healing."

cmw: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (8, 5, 2, 1) + 4 = 20
clw: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
clw: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

After that, feel free to use the potions. It's always a pet peeve of mine that a party hangs onto consumables and they don't get used.

Draghis reloads her crossbow.

Draghis steps forward and casts holy smite, catching both Claire's and Frederic's opponents in the spell's radius.

Damage: 8d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 4, 6, 3, 3, 5) = 35

DC 19 Will for half damage. If they fail the save, they're blinded for one round.

Draghis runs forward and grants Claire a Touch of Good blessing.

+4 sacred bonus to attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for one round.

"Your face is whatever."

"You not nagging me would be useful right now."

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

"I need to start preparing air walk regularly," Draghis thinks as she fires her crossbow at the same target as Kaeldron.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Draghis grants Sariel a Touch of Good. +4 sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for one round.

Draghis sets her gaze on one of the fiendish minotaurs on the other side of the portcullis. Her already powerful voice takes on a supernatural quality, a sign that she is channeling Vildeis' power into her words.

Casting suggestion. DC 19 Will to negate.

"Open this gate and fight us face to face before Sir Sariel ends this battle with you cowering on the other side of it!"

I really need to take another look at Draghis' default spells. Many of her buff spells are redundant now that she can do more than a few rounds of inspire courage (morale bonuses don't stack), and her debuff DCs are unimpressive against enemies that are supposed to confront mythic characters.

Suggestions welcome!

Rushing forward (by taking the movement bonus from blessing of fervor), Draghis moves into the midst of her allies and casts sanctuary.

"They fall before your might, heroes!" <-- Inspire courage +3 continues.

Upon seeing the enemy, Draghis kindles righteously violent feelings in the heroes.

"Heroes, the wicked approach! Once again, you must show them that evil has no place here!"

Draghis starts her Sermonic Performance (as a move action), granting +2 to attack, damage, and fear saves.

She also casts blessing of fervor, but the attack roll benefit from "Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves" will not stack with her inspire courage from above.

Draghis calls down holy power onto the floating hag.

Casting holy smite. DC 18 Will for half damage. If the hag fails the save, it is blinded for one round.

Holy damage: 3d8 ⇒ (7, 4, 1) = 12

Will: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 = 22

Draghis grants Davok a Touch of Good blessing. (+3 to sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws.)

Draghis moves herself and her magic circle into the tower with the others.

Also short on time, sorry. IC is still up.

Draghis moves closer to the others and casts magic circle against evil.

DC 17 will to negate.

Draghis casts blessing of fervor.

Both she and her brother opt for the AC/Reflex bonuses.

Believing that they are not of this plane, Draghis sets her sights on the closer of the two drakes and casts dismissal.

DC 18 Will to negate

caster lvl check vs. spell resist.: 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 3 = 17

Inspire Courage +3 continues

"Another fortress will fall before our crusade!" Draghis declares as the heroes enter battle.

Inspire courage +3

@Davok: Which of those scrolls does Draghis want? Claire will take whatever's leftover, but you can have first dibs. Most are on your spell list and not mine.

Draghis is a cohort, so PCs should always get first pick. (Plus, that makes it easier to manage a second character.)

That said, you should take restoration since it's on the paladin spell list and isn't affected by caster level. Greater dispel magic is also on the paladin spell list, but Draghis has one caster level higher. However, one level isn't a huge difference, and it could be very useful in melee, which Claire is more suited for.

Draghis will take heal and spell resistance, unless you want them.

*************************

I don't want the belt, Kaeldron.

Draghis makes a snort of disgust at the woman's claims.

"You have forgotten our peoples' ways. You have betrayed them," she announces before granting Davok a Touch of Good blessing.

That's what I was secretly hoping you'd say. :)

I'll level her when I get a chance.

Draghis is levelled. Changes of note:

Channel Energy is bumped up to 4d6

Access to 4th level spells. She's preparing Air Walk (for Lomasi), Dismissal, and her domain spell Holy Smite.

As she continues to inspire the heroes, Draghis grants Sariel a Touch of Good.

+4 to sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws.

"Their evil in insidious! They seep into every crack like vermin! We will not cease to eradicate their infestation!"

Sermonic performance +3

As Draghis invokes action, she fires her crossbow.

I haven't leveled her, yet, but inspire courage is now a move action at level 7.

Ranged attack vs. red: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 10

That's what I was secretly hoping you'd say. :)

I'll level her when I get a chance.

*******************

Level 9

Feat: Mythic Companion

Hey, I just noticed this about Draghis:

When you reach 7th level, this feat automatically upgrades to the Leadership feat (meaning that you effectively lose this feat and replace it with Leadership). You gain all the normal benefits of the Leadership feat, except that your squire must remain at least three levels lower than you and must continue to take levels in her first class. In order for your squire to be able to be two levels lower than you, your squire must be at least 4th level, and you must witness her as she single-handedly defeats a creature with Hit Dice equal to or greater than her own. Upon the creature’s defeat, your squire graduates to full knighthood and acts as a normal cohort; she may begin taking levels in other classes if she so chooses, and she may increase in level to up to two levels lower than yourself.

So because Davok has passed 7th level, Draghis is going to have to go pick a fight.

Draghis steps closer to Claire.

"I will find out where Anaba has gone and let you know."

"I have tried explaining to him that this is Anaba's choice as well, and anyone may make the choice to start a family, but... it doesn't help that Alistair doesn't seem like the type to make this decision with a family in mind."

"Ah. Davok, do you have someone to take care of the puppies?"

"That is why Anaba is leaving. They will be well cared for in the celestial realms."

"Claire, please... Davok is very upset right now. Anaba is leaving, and he blames your spi-- he blames Alistair."

Also, her archetype limits her to light armor!

You mean +2 because of her Fate’s Favored trait, right? Because the item itself only grants +1.

It wouldn't work, if that's the case. Fate's Favored only adds +1 once a Luck bonus is established. She already has the Sacred Tattoo trait, so Fate's Favored is applied to that. (I realize that I don't have it spelled out on Draghis' character sheet. Just another example of how paperwork is hard for me. :) But I do have it already accounted for up in her saving throw calculation.)

As I'm sure you're aware, d20pfsrd has to strip all of the Golarion-specific flavor from their content. The actual name for the item is Lucky Drunk's Mail. So, Davok is using armor re-purposed from Iomedae, and this would have had Draghis using armor from Cayden Cailean. Divine hand-me-downs.

Thanks for doing all of the loot calculations, Kaeldron.

I certainly won't say no to splitting the loot so Draghis gets some of it. There's not a lot of options or feats I can take to raise her defense (though there are a few), so any help is appreciated.

I think I've finally made my Tier 3 decisions, so I'll get Davok updated as soon as I can.

Draghis casts detect magic on both swords (for the full three rounds), trying to ascertain a difference between the two.

Sariel, can't you just jump off the cloud that the scale forms? Or are you treating it as a levitate effect targeted directly on you?

Draghis takes a deep breath and finishes her sermon. Her voice cracks and she goes silent.

This is the last round of sermonic performance/inspire courage.

As she finishes, she reaches out and grants Kaeldron Vildeis' Touch of Good ability.

+2 sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws

This dude's AC is either 34 or 35.

Continuing her holy sermon, Draghis moves up behind Frederic and grants him Vildeis' Touch of Good Ability.

+2 sacred bonus to Fred's attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws

While continuing to recite inspiring scripture, Draghis rushes up behind Davok and casts bull's strength on him.

"Move out of the doorway so you cannot be pushed into the pit!"

Draghis moves forward, following her own advice, as she launches into a recitation of holy scripture meant to inspire her allies.

Inspire courage +2

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Hearing Kaeldron's words, Draghis reaches up and places her hand on her brother's shoulder.

"Stay close to our allies, brother."

Draghis casts magic circle against evil on Davok.

Looking at the loot here...

- Dimension door is a bard spell. Will Draghis use it? She should at least take the scroll of it. And if she wants the wand she can have it. Otherwise Claire will take the wand.

Draghis is a cleric with a couple bard abilities due to her archetype. Dimension door doesn't make it onto her spell list, and she has zero ranks in UMD. I'm not really interested in the wand, and I'd rather the scroll go to someone less likely to miscast it if we're in a pinch.

Now that the urgency of stopping the ritual is over, Draghis tops everyone off with her wand of cure light wounds.

Claire: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Claire: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Claire: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Claire: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Claire: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 <--- Should bring Claire to 79

Fred: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Fred: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Fred: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 <-- Up to 101

Kaeldron: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 <-- Up to 106

Draghis ends her inspire courage sermon, but Kaeldron, Claire, and Sariel still get it for this round.

Draghis runs forward to assist Claire.

clw from wand to Claire: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 <-- :/
