Necress Nyx's page

@Necress Nyx: My point being that Undead Master appears in Ultimate Magic, and we are only using Core and Advanced Player's Guide.

Oh, gotcha.

I think I'm going to have a hard time remembering which book something is in. I'm going to go ahead and withdraw my submission, and wish you all the best of luck going forward!

@Necress Nyx: Welcome. It seems like an interesting character. Can you check the skills? And the Undead Master feat I think is not valid. About your backstory, remember we start at Magnimar.

Okay, I corrected my skill points and changed my starting location to Magnimar.

As for Undead Master, I qualify for that feat through Bones Oracle, which gives me Undead Servitude as a Revelation:

The Undead Master feat has this prerequisite:

I have both of those prerequisites met through my starting feats and through Bones Oracle revelations.

Alright, Necress Nyx, Oracle 1, at your service.

Thanks for your consideration!

Best of luck! This looked fun.

This looks like a full house, but I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring, anyway.

Necress Nyx, Human Oracle 1, at your service.

Stat block, background, appearance, and personality are included on my character sheet.

Thanks so much! Great run!

Not the most talkative group member, Necress does not say much at the debriefing, but does consider the group incredibly capable.

"A top-notch group," she reports.

Great run! Many thanks!!!

Necress follows to the north. "Where there are orc beds, there are bound to be orcs," she observes.

Necress follows the others toward the western passage and casts shield of faith on herself.

Necress also tries to clean up the tainted area, using create water the purify what she can.

"I think honoring both traditions, as Orophin suggests, would bring her peace," Necress says.

"I suggest we put her to rest now," Necress says. "I am familiar with restless spirits. They haunt me continually, those only I can see. They all want something, and once it is theirs, they will rest in peace. We should do our best to give her the proper ritual."

religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Necress nods as she reads Kivuli's lips.

"Shizuran tradition is to cremate the body on a pyre under the midday sun, then distribute the ashes to the deceased’s descendants. Lastwall’s tradition is to cremate the entire body save the skull, which is etched with the name and dates of birth and death then placed in The Ossuaries of the Fallen in Vigil."

Necress examines the blade, but can't tell anything about it.

"This is wholly unfamiliar to me," she says as she looks at the symbol on it.

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Necress watches the others scout ahead. Hefting her shield, she lifts her bone club and prepares to battle anything in the room to the west.

Necress watches indifferently. "If everyone is ready, let us search the rest of this place."

Necress can't tell what the cloaks are, either, but does successfully identify the potion.

"This will heal wounds," she says, offering it to any of the injured.

spellcraft cloak: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
spellcraft cloak: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
spellcraft potion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Necress doesn't know quite what is happening, but seeing Kivuli hold back, she readies an action to command the orc to fall prone if it attacks.

DC 17 Will save

sense motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Yeah, good point on Command...I guess that one does have some language-dependent components. Too bad...I like the idea of just looking at someone and willing something bad to happen.

That said, I think there are some verbal-only spells that don't require language...I'll look into those.

You're right...I edited my post. I hadn't read the spoiler since I thought it was just some DM rolls.

Necress reels as the unseen sounds waves batter her form, even though she can't hear it.

The unsettling oracle looks at the orc and wills him to fall prone. No spell components for me since it's verbal and I cast all spells as silent.

Casting command, DC 17 Will or fall prone.

Necress follows the others into the room as she looks at the enemies ahead.

She prepares to protect her companions should they be attacked.

Move action into the room. As an immediate action, I can use Misfortune if it attacks anyone.

Necress stares at the family of dwarves inscribed on the wall, not quite making it out but having it on the tip of her tongue.

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 Can you aid on knowledge checks, or no?

Looks great! Let's do it!

Necress continues to wait silently while the stealthy members of the group look for traps and enemies. Having not been with a group with quite so many skilled rogues, she is not used to this and waits apprehensively..

Necress confirms that she cannot speak the language, either.

Examining the script, she can't make much of it.

linguistics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

"Why would this room be full of disarmed traps?" Necress wonders. "Has someone been here ahead of us?"

Necress examines the statue with interest, having heard this tale.

"The statue depicts Kols, one of Torag's sons, demigod of duty. The inscription retells a tale where Kols successfully turned Droskar into a snake and nearly strangled him before Droskar slipped away," she says.

Once they pass that room, she follows the others, characteristically quiet except when she talks to the spirits that surround her.

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Necress follows along quietly. As Eldon suggests trying the eastern passage, she nods and hefts her mace.

Necress remains a bit behind while the stealthier party members sneak ahead.

Necress again thanks the thoughtful Crios for his help.

"What did you find in the water?" she asks.

survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

Necress rolls her eyes at something only she can see. The oracle casts protection from evil no herself and follows the others down the hallway.

Necress examines the oils, but can't determine what they do.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Necress makes her way forward, and her eerie presence is off-putting.

Will use Misfortune on the first orc to attack this round.

If there are undead, I'll attempt to control them. Otherwise, I'll buff the group or cast Summon Monster II.

FYI, I'm taking a weekend trip with my beautiful wife to get away from the Utah cold. I'll be back on Tuesday.

Hopefully I don't miss much with it being a weekend, but I'm unlikely to post. Please bot me as necessary!

Necress pads along behind the group, taking the rear guard.

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Necress looks at the desecrated statue and nods. "They will not be friendly."

Necress wanders around the room as if she is looking at someone that is not there. She peers down the hallway to the south.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Necress advances and attacks one of the blood-sucking creatures with her bone club.

bone club attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d6 ⇒ 1

Necress, seeing the swarming bloodsuckers to the east, draws her sling and fires a stone at the one next to Kivuli.

sling attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d4 ⇒ 3

Glad for Crios' consideration in speaking so she can see, she casts shield of faith on him to prepare him for battle.

+2 deflection bonus in addition to your +4 shield bonus.

Necress carefully follows after the others, looking around carefully.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Necress casts light on her shield and prepares to enter the complex.

She says little to her companions, but watches them for clues as to what is happening.

Necress reads Eldon's lips as he explains the location and nods.

"Let us hope we find something when we get there," she says.

Necress does her best to read the lips of the group, and though she has trouble following the words from Waki's beak, she has worked with him before and nods to him. It is difficult for her to keep up with all the rest of the chatter.

She looks around the room as if listening to something, which seems strange coming from a deaf woman.

"The spirits have whispered to me about this Fustbickle fellow," she says, then shares what she knows. Feel free to read the diplomacy spoilers.

diplomancy (gather info): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
knowledge religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Nearby stands a fellow Pathfinder, a beautiful lithe female with long, straight black hair and pale skin. She wears scale armor and carries a large mithral shield, in addition to a club made from the femur of some large humanoid creature.

Despite her attractive appearance, something seems...off. There is an eerie feel about her, almost like fingers on a chalk board. Someone accidentally knocks a tankard from the bar behind her, but she does not react. It is suddenly clear that the woman is deaf.

She observes the other Pathfinders, then turns and looks at no one in particular, scowls, and rolls her eyes.

"Shut up," she whispers to no one.
