So my slayer in a Reign of Winter campaign bit the dust and because he got cocky about being unkillable after the party cleric raised him the last time he died, Torag has refused to raise him again.

As a consequence I have a level 13 fey/elemental crossblooded sorcerer coming into the campaign. With how are GM does starting equipment for new characters at these levels, he has a minor ring of spell storing. My GM thinks this is a good fit for my spell caster but I don't see it.

What could I possibly use this for except to put spell into it and hand it out to party members each day so they could use it. I understand it's a few levels of spells I could put into it for the next day if I don't use all my spells but that seems like fairly limited use. I have a fair number of spell slots and don't think I'll be running out on a regular basis.

I do have the option of selling for half price but am wondering if there are other options to make this more useful for a spontaneous caster. Buying scrolls and putting them into the ring? Seems kinda costly and redundant although it does save on action economy.

Any advice is welcome. Sell? Use for extra slots? Something else?

Would a ghost's

Corrupting Touch (Su)
All ghosts gain this incorporeal touch attack. By passing part of its incorporeal body through a foe’s body as a standard action, the ghost inflicts a number of d6s equal to its CR in damage. This damage is not negative energy—it manifests in the form of physical wounds and aches from supernatural aging. Creatures immune to magical aging are immune to this damage, but otherwise the damage bypasses all forms of damage reduction. A Fortitude save halves the damage inflicted.

affect a devil at all. I'm guessing not since devils don't age but I couldn't find an actual source to confirm this.

So what would Eccardian do if he managed to gain control of Westcrown and Aberian fled? What kind of policies would he enact as new mayor if he was allowed to rule by Abrogail?

I see a large tax increase (to help repair some of the damage from his devil army0 that would never quite be enough as it always seemed to find its way to dad's (Mammon's) coffers. Maybe upping the rate of excruciations in an attempt to prevent another rebellion/sedition by would be heroes.

Similarly trying to use the Order of the Rack to reinterpret the events surrounding the former Mayor's rule and subsequent removal of office by a "man of the people." (This one is probably beyond the scope of office)

I had campaign come to an end before the end of book 6 (completed four books but switch the order of Infernal Syndrome and Mother of Flies). So while my players ended the shadow curse Eccardian was left to enact his plan of control of the city. I am now planning picking up a campaign in Westcrown 10 years later (after the Glorious Reclamation) and was wondering if Eccardian managed to survive (went into hiding is my thought) and get reinstated after the Rebellion was put down, what would Westcrown look like?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered and I also feel like this may have been mentioned in one of the books but I was unable to find it in my re-skimming of of the AP.

But what would happen if Barzillai’s heart was stolen from the soul anchor before he died? Would it prevent the transformation? Kill him?

The former would be my inclination while the latter seems unlikely but does anyone else have any thoughts?

So while researching through Planar Adventures and such I wondered what would happen to a person's soul if they had died, were standing inline waiting to be judged and then found a way to be teleported or travel back to the material plane without reuniting with their original body?

Determined travelers who overcome the Boneyard’s systems for preventing accidental egress can also traverse the length of the Spire itself, a massive rock face riddled with yawning archways that lead into spiraling tunnels and staircases.

So what exactly besides maybe the Psychopomps are the systems for preventing accidental egress? And is this a work around to having someone returned back to "life" without the traditional raise dead or resurrection? And what happens to the persons original body if this was to work?

I’m looking for advice on adjusting Eccardian’s build which seems to have a consensus that it may be a little anti climatic and underwhelming.

I liked a suggestion of making him a mesmerist but admittedly know next to nothing of the class or more importantly how to make an effective build of that class. I like the theme of having him being a more subtle manipulative type character and the mesmerist suggestion also has made me think of an enchanter with a dip into rogue or fighter to add something to a final confrontation.

So my question is would the enchanter be as effective or would it be worth it to wrap my head around the mesmerist? And does anyone have a 15~18 build that would fit and would be willing to share?

Thanks in advance.
