Kyra Banior's page

My players messed up. How bad? They broke the ceiling to the bottom chamber, stopped the forbidiance spell, got the sword removed from the portal. Then the dice went bad, people died, and they had to flee, without the sword, but the Shrouded Queen is still alive.

The sword is no longer keeping her there since it is not in the portal, so would she stay? They are planning on resting and going back in(though first their ship has been taken by Captain Valerande “Barracuda” Aiger). Would she be their, or would she fly away to freedom and they just find the sword?

Lets get Moving!!

Kyra will swift action Bane his imporvised weapon, for Bane Human, and charge the nearest guard who appeared to take full damage from the fireball.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + (1, 5) + 2 = 17

Is it technically round 2 then?

Same as Lucifer, Kyra removes the Cuffs as His standard.

RRRAHHHAHAHA. Time to strech my legs

Kyra keeps the cuffs in hand to use them as an improvised weapon.

I will be traveling from Michgian to Minnisota tomorrow, so I will not be posting until late in the day.

Kyra stealth fully removes his own shackles, but hold onto them to use them as an improvised weapon. Waiting for Dani to cast on one of the guards.

stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

I like it. Lucifer I think you are our best liar, so whenever you are ready.

I pretty much agree. I added some more details though.

1. Someone lures the guard over. (I've offered to do that, I think I have the highest Bluff modifier of the whole party)
2. While the guard is distracted, other people free themselves in order to either incapacitate the guard, or at least weaken him and/or relieve him of weapons. (Danira uses magic as first try after that we use force)
3. Once we're all free, we sneak over to our gear (and Kyra's rhino), except maybe Alluriel, sorry you have low stealth, but your choice on how far away you want to be.
4. Once we're reequipped, we just leave, dealing with the other guards if/as necessary. I may have to kill one just to prove a point, but yes

Also did we lose our witch already?

"If he is in such a bad state we can take his weapons, this will be perfect. Good enough even you might be able to keep him for a celebratory picnic. Even if we can;t take his weapons, we can still move past him and get to our goals."

Ready when everyone else is

" I think we should stealth as far as we can, and once we are caught, Fireball would make an excellent opening salvo. From there I can use My flames of the faithful spell, and my particular skills, to be a bane to our human captors. Though I won't be as effective using manacles as an improvised weapon as I would be with a real weapon. I bet I can take 1 or 2 down that have been hit with fireball. Then with their weapons, Lucifer and I can fight our way to our gear, or free the rhino, whichever is closer.

My vote is we start with stealth, only the stealthyist of us moving, which I suspect is everyone but our esteemed cleric, and we head for our gear, or the rhino, whichever is closer. If we make it all the way to one we try and sneak to the other as well. Dyr is much more stealthy than you would imagine for a rhino. When all hell inevitably breaks loose. We hit them with fireball, and rush them. Hoping that the fireball weakens them enough that my spells help me take at least 1 out with my improvised weapon. then we take that guards weapons and press the attack.

Is Dyr being transported with us, or will I need to get a new animal companion? If he is with us, is he with us, with the equipment, or in a different area?

While being shoved into the Kyra snears at the guards one last time. "better watch our boys, caravans like this where how I made most of my money, and I rarely left survivors"
perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

On the first day Kyra is mostly silent. occasionally praying to the dark god Ghulander until interrupted by the wagon hitting a large pot hole.
I swear they are doing it on purpose

Lucifer, if I can get free and cast on myself, I should be able to take a guard, even with just improvised weapons, however I may have a better chance of using stealth to at least get some weapons, or free Dyr. Then the fun can really begin. The rest of you, what are your particular skills? Do you require weapons?

do we have holy symbols now, or are we completely bare?

"Does no one else think it is funny that the leader of a prision, is going to sacrifice his own men just so we can"Air Quotes"Break out of prison" and go murder this s*~+bag that is apparently so evil, he is worth letting us go? Seems a lot like he should have one of these things planted in his neck too.

Hmm, speaking of which anyone think they might be able to figure out a way to remove these things at some point?

sheet updated with new stats.

"This plan is s!*+, but not as s!+# as this prison." Kyra growls and looks around at the guards in the distance

"If the guards there and in transit are a lot like the the ones here, we should make our move at night. Most or all of us can see to some distance in the dark. If we make our move when they are sleeping, tracking us will be much harder for them at night. I will simply have to guide Dyr, assuming they are transferring him with me."

Agreed. I will go with an additional +2 strength on my rhino. With that I am pretty much good to go. I will update stats and then add a link to a character sheet for spells and such in my character page, and will post in Gameplay shortly.

Kyra is your pretty stereotypical half orc, though much more agile than the standard of his race. He spends as much time as he can trying to grow different plants and fungi in the corners of his cell, but by now the guards have caught on and his attempted creations are destroyed quickly.

Kyra would almost constantly be in fights. fighting for dominance, or for any perceived slight against him, weather it was true or not. His success would very. He has more strength and speed than some(Thank you animal focus) and some of his abilities can be used with the standard improvised weapons one might find and make in prison. However he would often bite off more than he can chew, and have to be saved by the guards, who despise him just as much if not more than his fellow prisoners do.

Ok I should be pretty much good to go. The only thing left is the animal companion question I had posed in recruitment and did not see an answer for.

In short: my choice of archetype and domain grants me my animal companion and the option for a second one at my level -3 or a +2 bonus to one stat on my first animal companion. Obviously the first option is stronger(especially with the boon companion feat later) but me having 2 animal companions could cause some problems later on, basically a rhino and a boar charging in the same round is a lot of DPS(Bebop and Rocksteady, best minions ever).

So options are 1. second animal companion like that.2. the stat bonus, or 3. I pick a less useful more story based animal companion to have around for fun, like the giant Mosquito using the vermin animal companion rules.

This is Kyra checking in. I will catch up with more info and update character account in a couple of hours.

I would vote for regular progression as well. But if you had a link to more info on E6 that would be nice.

This is Mark.Twain007 submitting Kyra Banior a Half Orc Inquisitor(Huntmaster) of Ghlaunder with my rhino animal companion. I also have the Fur domain, which could give me a second animal companion, which I will happily take, but if you don't want me to have 2 animal companions, the hunter rule of getting +2 to an animal companion score for that is fine.

I may be playing in a Mummies Mask campaign soon, and I want to play a bloodrager/living monolith. My problem is I was to start taking levels in living monolith ASAP, and I'm a little worried by the requirement of having a sphinx or living monolith present about when we would hit level 6. Am I worrying too much, or is this something I need to work out with my GM?

Some thoughts.
If you want to be a conjurer, you may want to either do dual path with heirphant, or trickster and take path dabbling to get mighty summons.

Know that they changed the wild arcane power to a standard action.

Crafting mastery is awesome.

Late game, you should be an encounter ender. Know your opponents, learn combos to kill them. Quickened enervation plus mythic maze. Prismatic wall plus quickened hydrolic push, hydrolic torrent, or sign of wrath. Even quickened mythic ray of enfeeblement plus waves of exhaustion can probably take down a caster.

When in doubt, persistent mythic disintegrate

Improved initiative is your friend, as is the mythic version.

Give yourself lots of CON

There is no shame in hiding behind the Champion when you need to.

I thought I would also throw in my original description of how a worshiper of why god of diseases would be interested in building a city.

I know it might not sound normal to have a worshiper of the god of plague and disease in a campaign where you are trying to build a city. But Kyra is more subtle about it than just putting plagues everywhere. There is a time and a place for them when the population of weak individuals is dragging down the success of the city or community as a whole. A strong parasite also requires a strong host, as a disease can’t spread far if there are no people to spread it. So most of the time all for city growth, and community and stuff, then once in a while a little bit of pestilence.

Plus, if need be we can pull out the old Warcraft 3 tactic, and send export some slightly diseased grain, so no other city.country notices until it is too late. Then we can strike upon our weakened enemies.

I'll throw Kyra Banior back into the mix, a Sacred Huntmaster Inquisitor of Ghulander.

Congratulations to those selected. Build a kingdom that makes paladins shutter at the mere mention of it's name.

"This is the worst part, the calm before the battle.'
"And then that battle isn't so bad?"
"Oh, right I forgot about the battle"

I vote our new nations flag simply be a black goatee.

Hello, So I am playing a fighter in a Second Darkness Campaign, and I was just given the option to take the Lantern bearer prestige class. I would like to but there is a problem, I want to get greater weapon focus, so I can take Deadly stroke, but I don't want to wait until I have 8 levels of fighter to start taking levels of Lantern Bearer. Is there any feat or magic item that would let me treat other class levels as fighters levels for the purposes of taking Greater weapon focus? Even if it was just 1 level.

Thank you.

Thanks, I'll think on it and decide what to do. One more question, how do I determine if an undead keeps his class levels or not when I create him? Skeletons and Zombies say they lose them, but no other undead say that. So can all other undead keep class levels? Is it all intelligent undead keep class levels?

Some back story, my players lost 2 party members to a necromancer Lich,and left the dungeon to get 2 new party members and try again. Instead of giving the Lich the minions they killed back, I was going to have him use Create Undead on them, to make the party fight their failure.

So here are my questions:

1. If I make the paladin that died a Skeletal champion, would he automatically shift from LG to LE due to the template?
2. He is intelligent, and has his former personality right?
3. If he is willing could use atonement to move his alignment to CE?
4. Does he actually have to be willing for that, or can I use command undead to make him?
5. If enough of this is true with enough time he could become an anti paladin?

Also in reference to meteor storm, it really depends on what you want to do with it, and if you can hit them. the 2d6 extra damage is nice but what you are really after is the -4 to the save for the fire damage. You can send all the orbs at one person give them a -16, or spread them out a bit, giving multiple party members, like ones that have high reflex and evasion, negative to make sure they feel at least some of the effect.

What is your party makeup, and how do they normally win fights? What books did you allow you players to use? (I don't like to give bosses anything my players can't have)

I am not to him in my campaign yet, but I already looked over the fight and was thinking of the following changes.

-I swapped something for fiery body, my party uses a lot of weapon damage and fire attacks, so immunity to crits and fire helps a lot, plus all the other bonuses.
-Swapped polymorph any object for quickened enervation. If you have a player with high saves, but low INT, or just any player with low INT, hit them with it, then Maze. DC 20 INT check to escape, if they have a negative Mod, they are out of the fight.
-If they have people who can't fly, quickened hydrolic push has a good chance to push them into the lava below.
-As far as I can tell, even though he has no access to the spells, you can use wish/limited wish to cast illusion spells. Displacement or mirror image are both great defensive spells.
-Maybe have his cloak also give a bonus to Saving throws.
-Unless your party uses a lot of teleportation, I plan on opening with Waves of Exhaustion. -6 STR lowers melee to hit, compound bow to hit, damage, and carrying capacity. -6 DEX is less AC, ranged to hit, and reflex saves. No charging, and all movement speed is halved. Plus they don't get a save.

I would also age the dragon until he is gargantuan size, so Old age. Give the rune giant a couple of levels in fighter so you can give him a couple extra feats. I might also remove the part where the storm giants turn on Karzoug if the Rune giant is killed.

Also, the glave isn't great, but every round it can either shoot a fireball at a non caster, or heal Karzoug. Not great, but every little bit is going to help.

Thanks. My party is much more likely to run in and touch it, or worse, the bard will figure out what it is, and the barbarian will try and break it. Another reason I want to do it is that 2 of my players will have negatives in that hall, and 1 will have the bonus, and I don't want them to just have those for the one fight.

Wonder if he can use a Wand of Mirror Image, though he may consider that beneath him as illusions are... an inferior magic.

I was thinking EXACTLY along those lines -- losing both Displacement and Mirror Image sets Karzoug up for a major pounding, but I just don't see him eschewing the Illusion school and then saying, "Oh, whoops! My two best defensive spells are in that school! Better buy some wands!"

Just doesn't seem very Karzoug-like...

Not there yet, but I plan to fidge around this using limited wish during his time stop rounds. By the rules of that spell, I figure he can cast mirror image and displacement, because the magic of the spell does it, not him.

Also on a different note, in the runeforge abjuration halls, the disjunction pulse was permanent in the 3.5 version, but is just minutes based in the AE. Has anyone made it permanent anyway? I was thinking about doing so, but having their items go back to normal if they dunk them in the magic pool. I know it would be super mean, but I'm a little afraid my party is going to steam through most of the book without much challenge, plus it's fun to see them a little angry.

I have another character that got accepted to a different WotR play by post, so I am bowing out. Good luck to everyone.

Mythic will be interesting. I play tested with my regular group, and I think the reactions were mixed towards it. Hopefully the official version is a bit more toned down. I did see the initiative bonus was nerfed, that was crazy good. Now it is just good.

Part of why I am trying to play through the AP is so I have a good in-game feel for how the new systems work.

Me too. I want to know if it is worth if before I commit to running a whole AP or campaign with it for my players.

I would like to submit Kyra Banior, Half-Orc inquisitor of Desna who will later take some levels in rouge if all goes well. She uses the Trickster Path.

Her Stats are currently 15 point buy. He 20 point Buy stats are as follows
STR:14 DEX:18 CON:12 INT:10 WIS:14 CAR:8

I would like to submit Kyra Banior. Inquisitor that will use the trickster path.
