I don't know if you're taking suggestions, but I'd change Golden Gun to Named Bullet, Greater Named Bullet, and maybe Mythic Named Bullet (since mythic is a thing, though I don't think the mythic version is all that great).
Let the character take feats, SLAs are harder to get, and these seem more thematic
Also, Arrow Eruption would be pretty cool too, have it trigger x/day on a kill.
So the important thing here is that is doesn’t actually give the feat, but emulates it with a bit of extra to it (namely that it can be used as part of a full attack, and indeed, all can be used on a full attack.)
I was also thinking absurd numbers that fall in waves each round as the Last Word pops heads with each shot... splat splat splat... and somewhere else someone has a Huge Greatsword that chops several targets in half with each swing... spellcasters dropping nukes from orbit... the Barbarian punches out the heart of the dragon, eats it, then swings its dead body around by its tail like a flail tripping the entire field of zombies...
Not an entirely inaccurate description of what happens at time. Usually right before some awful thing comes and drops half of them before becoming paste itself. Basically the only thing “balancing” it is the fact that he only has three “small” goldies and one big one, and there’s usually some other nasty just around the corner.
So do you take whatever your Monster's health is and just multiply it by 10? How does any monster survive combat with Supreme Vital Strikes from already redonk weapons in your game?
So, first and foremost, the WoLs do NOT regen with an hour and a mythic point. Second of all, things aren’t supposed to be surviving The Last Word. It’s <i>THE</> Last Word. Third, these gloriously broken lunatics have been fighting Campaign Cappers since 5th level. We left balance and anything resembling sanity at the door a while ago.
I thought I’d share some of the Weapons of Legacy I drew up for the Mythic, Gestalt, WoL game I run. Yes. Balance is a distant, vague concept. At best. But I thought I’d like to see what ya all thought of them. First up is The Last Word, a la Destiny! (For those who don’t know, a Weapon of Legacy is a ruleset that levels up with the wielder. Typically they have costs. Mine don’t. Whoops.) This particulat weapon goes up to Level 22, as I allowed the player to take the Mythic Ability “Legendary Item) to treat them as one level higher each time for the purpose of their WoL. Apologies for the formatting as I’m on mobile.

Aligned: The Last Word is a good aligned weapon.
Golden Gun: You may make an attack that behaves as a Vital Strike as a single attack in a full attack routine. You need not actually possess Vital Strike. At sixth level, this functions as Vital Strike, and as though you had a full BaB. At 11th level, this behaves as Improved Vital Strike at full BaB, and at 16th level, it behaves Greater Vital Strike.
Lucky: You may spend 1 grit point to avoid a misfire, or 2 grit to avoid both a misfire and a fumble. Your attack is still rolled at -5
Run Like Hell: You may spend a grit point to make a double move (as a move action) without provoking an attack of opportunity. Each point of grit you spend past the first increases your base speed by 10 feet for this movement
Out For Blood: You may spend 2 grit points to automatically confirm a critical hit.
The Last Word: Once per day as a standard action, you may make a single golden gun (even if you’ve otherwise expended all uses) attack against any target in eyesight. This attack ignores any cover (assuming the target can be seen), concealment less than total, range penalties (and indeed, this attack can be made more than 5 increments away), and targets touch AC. This attack can be made as an immediate action whenever you would be knocked unconscious or die, even if your body would be completely destroyed. When using The Last Word, you deal damage as though you had Supreme Vital Strike (from the Homebrew Pathfinder Epic Level Handbook) four times (allowing you to roll any additional damage from weapon qualities and apply damage bonuses four times.
Note: The Last Word’s Endless Ammunition quality is an exception to the rule that Firearms cannot possess this quality. Note that this quality only produces regular ammunition. The weapon may still be loaded with special ammunition.
So, I have a custom item that one of my players founds after a particularly nasty boss fight, and he wants to upgrade it. I did not use the PF guidelines for creation, and thus, have no real idea of what the price (and thus the cost to upgrade it) is. I figured you folks might be able to help me.
Ring of Warping
CL 10
Five times per day, you may activate this ring use Dimension Door. Once per day, as a Swift Action, you may Dimension Door to five different squares. Until the end of your turn, you are treated as though you were in all five squares and may make any part (or all of) a full attack action from those squares.
I for one would like both, and I am *absolutely* willing to contribute to this wonderful project should it come to pass. Not bad for a Tzimisce and a Gangrel team-up, eh?
With the retirement of 1e, I find myself saddened that there was never an NPC Codex made to included non-base classes. I was wondering, however, if a. someone had went ahead and made a non-base class codex (whether in the community or a 3pp), and, failing that b. if there would be interest in making one.
Anyhow, thanks, y'all.
Okay, so the advice here is all very solid. Something important to remember- Ileosa herself is an Evil Bard. You know what Bards do? Mind Affecting Effects. A simple first level spell (prot vs. alignment (evil))accessible to most spellcasters removes these as a problem, and there are more powerful spells that bestow this effect. I *strongly* suggest making Illeosa not an enchantment monster or, at the very least, make her a Bard/XYZ Gestalt.
Oh boy. Necro post. My party messed up the Mantis Assassins and the Cinderlander at the Skoan-Quah camp, leading her to flee. So, my party took mercy on Cinnabar at Death’s Head Vault, allowing her to flee once again. They later came upon a redheaded woman named Cin at the vaults who looked an awful lot like her, handing out food, who got queasy at the sight of blood. Many sense motive checks, and an alignment check revealing her to be NG, they let her go.
Later, during the a later fight Cinnabar reappeared, wielding her sawtooth sabers to save the party from a bad spot. After helping them dispatch some Gray Maidens, apologizing that she couldn’t stay long. And that the party must not tell Cin that Cinnabar still lived. Cin returned, saw the blood and burnt bodies, and passed out.
So, lemme tell you the DMs secret: we don't actually need dice. What we say happens happens. Unless you're running PFS, you decide when the PCs hit and miss, how much HP the mob has, when the mobs hit or miss. If an encounter is too much, feel free to tone it down. If the PCs are piledriving an encounter, bring in reinforcements, boost the mobs To Hit, boost their damage, increase their AC. I have quadrupled my bosses HP in the past. The tricks to being a "good" DM are consistency, improvisation, knowing when to pull your punches, and knowing when to hit the party with a semi-truck.
A common trick to facilitating this is a DM screen that hides your rolls.
Ask him WHY your character would care about the opening of the campaign. Don't worry about being interested in killing Lord Wears-A-Black-Cape. That comes *during* the campaign. But why are you in the starting village? This applies doubly so if you are a weird race. How do you know how to be (character class)? If you have any unusual gear (exotic weapon, etc.), where did you grt it? What god do you follow?Why? Super important if you are a religious class.
Just a note for first level characters- you are not a badass yet. If you're really unlucky, a first level commoner could take you in a fight. So, no, you didn't join a band of mercenaries because they were super impressed with how awesome you are. A first level character is a small fish in a big pond.
Hey all! I am going to be taking a break from this project for a bit to do some homebrewing. I *do* have all the loot laid written out. I just haven't gotten around to valuing and adding it all up. If someone wants to take over I am more than happy to share my notes. Further, is the anywhere I can get feedback on homebrew? I have done something to the hive that is potentially beautiful and horrific but want some feedback.
@Malefactor This was completely unrelated to by poor sleep habits. It just gave me something to do while I waited for a reasonable time to pass out. I just slept 18 hours so I'm good.
@Duametef Unused- the used ones are just boxes and have no printed value.

I am about 127% certain I did my math wrong for this chapter. If someone could re-run the numbers for me, that'd be great. I am running on -14 hours of sleep.
Many thanks. I didn't hit any of the traps. Further, many items are given generic names so as to avoid spoilers. Also, I as a GM have issues valueing a Harpischord at 50gp. It's basically a freakin' piano, sooooo.
Personally, I think actions boil down into 5 basic types per axis.
Saintly: This is good taken to the extreme. This is being a 20th level paladin with leather armor and a longsword because he donated all his money.
Helpful: This is good that costs you little, or is tempered by law or chaos. Helping the little old lady across the street. "Good" falls between this and saintly.
Neutral: You brush your teeth.
Sketchy: This is unpleasant. It borders on evil, but has some redeeming factor. Passively sacrificing (i.e. allowing them to die) 20 to save 200.
Vile: Eating babies for pleasure. "Evil" comes into play between here and Sketchy.
Paladins, in my opinion, should perform 15% Saintly actions, 40% Helpful actions, 30% Neutral actions, 5% Sketchy actions (at most), 0% Vile actions.
Rigid: The letter of the law. If eating ice cream on Tuesday is illegal, then you MUST arrest the offender.
Legal: The spirit of the law. If a law is either obsolete or ridiculous, it can be ignored or lobbied for change.
Neutral: You brush your teeth.
Erratic: Doing your own thing. It doesn't bother you if other people are lawful, but if you want ice cream on Tuesday, you're gonna eat ice cream. This is the type of chaos that most CG characters are, I find.
Anarchic: Rage against the machine. Do what you want. And everybody should do what they want.
Paladins, in my opinion, should perform 15% Rigid actions, 40% Legal actions, 30% Neutral actions, 5% Erratic actions and 0% Anarchic actions.
Lawful Good. Paladins. The bane of many players. The foe of many DMs. The catalyst of many a game table argument. But what constitutes lawful good? What constitutes a Paladin's fall?
Just a couple guidelines:
1. Let's avoid strawman fallacies. My favorite comes from the "Weirdest Justification of a Ruling" thread in the form of what is essentially "Eating Breakfast is not Good. Paladin falls."
2. Let's avoid personal attacks. Alignment varies from table to table and player to player. Just because someone has a different LG from you does not make them stupid or crazy. Unless they think burning down a town and killing the residents as they flee is LG. In this case, you may call them stupid or crazy.
3. Don't be a Shelyn/Calistria-shamer. Seriously. Uncool.
So, I'm going to kick this off woth that famous Paladin quandry: "What in Baator do I do with these Goblins?"
I personally think that the Paladin is in the right if he executes them in battle/on the spot.
1. It's more than inconvenient to transport a caravan of Goblins to the nearest town- it's a liability to the Paladin, his allies, and the townspeople.
2. The Goblins are likely out of any jurisdiction of a nearby town, and must thus transport them to the county/national seat to legally detain them.
3. The Goblins are almost certainly not citizens of the jurisdiction, which removes any protection by the law. If they are mentioned in the law at all, they are either likely outlawed via racial profiling or considered vermin, in which case the law likely encourages their extermination.
4. Any "trial" the goblins may recieve is likely a sham, and likely to result in a painful, extended, and torturous death. Killing them on the spot is more humane.
5. Given the fact that it's unlikely that Goblins are in a heavily trafficked area, and ergo near any city of significant size, it's fairly likely that, in a religious nation, the paladin is the ranking authority in the area, giving them the legal right to hand down a sentence on the spot.
Firstly nothing to be sorry about (at least in my mind) this is an awesome aid to the community and I'm grateful for the work, will hardly be upset if it takes a while.
Secondly you write all this on a phone? Not sure if possible to give more respect for you than now given.
My computer is currently an expensive paperweight. Soooo. Yeah. I've been doing this on my phone sonce RotRL chapter five.
The Paladin fell because, this being the internet, it quickly devolved into defamation of the Paladin's character on Macebook. Because the Paladin's deity does not know how to use Gnoogle to fact check, he had to believe the monk's claims that the Paladin was in fact, a "goblin faced bby-eeter lollolrofl," whatever that means. The deity also smote the monk.
Great idea. I haven't had a chance to double check yet. But is this from newer Handcover version or older Paper modules? Appears there was lots of changes along the way.
Either way, thanks for posting.
This, along with the list I did for RotRL here are the updated editions.
It's that time again, except for CoCT this time! And, I'm ACTUALLY running this one!
For thise of you just joining us:
Now, this thread makes a few assumptions.
1. The party loots EVERYTHING. If the wall has gold leafing, they have scraped it. If the table is made of darkwood, they're packing it. If it's nailed down, they're pulling it up.
2. The party has found a way to sell everything. I don't care if they have to hike to Absalom, they've found someone to buy everything. Additionally, they have, for whatever bizarre reason, decided not to keep anything.
3. Mundane items and all magical items are sold at half value, as per the rules. No diplomacy check has been made to change the value.
4. Commodities (coffee, sugar, etc.,), art items, gems, etc., are sold for full value.
5. The PCs are unusually kind and haven't killed any friendly NPCs for whatever reason.
6. Any item larger than medium has its base and material value doubled for every size larger than medium. Any item smaller than small has its base and material value halved.
7. Broken items have a value equal to 75% the normal value. Because we're selling items at 50% of their value, this means that broken items are sold for 50 percent of that 75%, or a total of 37.5%.
8. All values are rounded DOWN to the last copper (i.e. Something worth X gold, Y silver and 3.4 copper has its copper value rounded to 3. If it has a copper value of 3.999 bar, it is rounded down to 3.
9. The formula I am using to determine wand value is value*.5*(x/50), where x is the number of remaining charges.
10. I am assuming optimal performance- the bad guys don't get to use their potions or scrolls, and none of them are destroyed.
11. I am using a spellbook cost calculator from a website called Kingdom of Morrain. Sorry if this isn't terribly accurate.
This thread is also using some formatting. (Parentheses) are used to denote per-item value. [Brackets] are used to denote lot value. For items that are singular for their chapter, (parentheses) are skipped. {These thingies} are used for personal notes/commentary as well as adjudication. Further, spellbooks have the number of spells by level listed between <these guys>, starting at cantrips.

Probably the thing I am most thankful for from CoCT is the merciful lack of wizards.
Just my five cents, after one player asked me if he could sell the protoflesh from Halls of Wrath:
James Jacobs wrote:
In a case like this, where it's unclear what something might be worth, the best bet is to look at table 12–5 in the Core Rulebook and use the value per encounter per the PC's level. So if your party was an average level of, say , 14th at the point they emerged from Runeforge and looked to sell the protoflesh, I'd cost it at about 13,500 gp (which is the value for an encounter at 14th level on the fast XP track, which Runelords uses).
For that one, I would rule that the magic preserving the protoflesh dissipates upon leaving Runeforge, causing it to dust. Similar to the dude.

So. Yeah. Two posts in one day. Turns out my PC becoming a toaster means a bored Scottie, which means accounting. I'm thinking that it goes without saying that I am the accountant in my group.
Just a caveat- it's very likely that I have missed a few things, probably screwed up my math at parts and made other errors. That said, this should be mostly correct. Mostly. After I recover, I am going to do CoCT: Updated.

Episode Ten: Weapons of Power
There is no loot here, except any Runeforged weapons the party may make.
Okay. Thread has been dead for about a week. But here are my 2cp. A quarter of alignment, I think, is intention. Another quarter is circumstance, another is reaction, leaving just a quarter for action. If a paladin sets up a trap against a numerically and physically superior force, which backfires and kills innocents, I wouldn't make him fall immediately. But you can darn well bet he'd better be digging through the rubble, healing folks and trying to fix his screwup. If I tell the player the consequences of his actions, and his reaction is "meh," he's gonna fall. Fast. If the party comes across a lone bandit, and they kill him outright, that's a Bad Thing. If the party comes across a group of known-hostile bandits outnumbering them 2-1, who have them outgunned, killing the bandits is unfortunate but necessary. Self-preservation againsts those who seek to snuff you out, I don't think, is an evil act. Self-preservation at the expense of those who mean you no harm is neutral, at best.
That said, if you come across something that pings as evil, that does not mean you have carteblanche to slay them, ESPECIALLY if you have an upper hand before combat. My favorite example is Salvatore Scream in CoCT. I am honestly confused as to why he's considered evil in the first place. Morbid, sure. Evil as a person? No. I do understand that he has a corruption, but still. It's tenuous at best.
Anyone who's read this far: thank you for reading my barely coherent ramblings on alignment.

Undead are immune to criticals. Because they don't need kidneys to function.
Well how about all the memes about killing zombies etc with head shots? And vampires with heart shots?
Dropping a zombie with a headshot relies on those zombies being created via a disease (Zombie Survival Guide Zombies) and not magic (Most tabletop zombies).
I do allow crits against vampires with Vorpal weapons and wooden piercing weapons. This is the exception and not the rule.
In case of Kreegs, I guess Barl might enchant them? Then again I'm not sure he had item crafting feats and he is the boss so why he would do that. Maybe there is just some master smith ogre in the mines who has that feat that allows you to craft magic weapons with craft weapon :p
Well, there's no way it can be Mammy Graul- she lacks Craft Magic Arms and Armor.
Also, worry not, lovely humans, I am still working on this project!
This is mostly just my personal "issues" with cataloging things. I was gonna do it anyway, then I figured I should share my insanity with you kind people.
I have a few.
Undead are immune to criticals. Because they don't need kidneys to function.
If you roll two twenties in a row, you roll to confirm a second time. This confirmation causes you to deal max damage with the crit.
I handwave carry weight to "You cannot carry a house, no."
XP isn't a thing. You level up when I say so. (Usually as the AP says.)
You can't roll most "social skills" against other players.
You roll for HP. If you get less than half, you get half. Same for healing, for I am a kind and merciful goddess.
Let me start off by saying that these are old deaths. My group is currently at "A History of Ashes," so I'm likely foggy on some of the details. All three (plus an NPC) of these deaths took place while I was converting the 3.5 version to PF on the fly.
Name of PC: Tylenol
Race/Class/Level: Human Rogue 5
Adventure: Seven Days to the Grave
Catalyst: Bringing grenades to a knife fight.
The Gory Details: :
The party went to go solve the wererat problem for Yelloweyes. The party gets down there and everything is going typically. The party sent the rogue down to scout, and lo and behold, he gets jumped. Now, the wererats weren't too terribly high level, but having four rogues flanking you is going to do some Bad Things. This resulted in the Tylenol very quickly being dropped, but not dead. Now, almost immediately prior to this adventure, he'd picked up a bunch of alchemist's fire and grenades of various types. I rolled a die to decide which way he fell. Flat on his back. The flasks broke, which set of the grenades, making him an unrecognisable pile of gore. To add insult to injury, all of the wererat rogues proceeded to succeed their saves with evasion. The upside? The party proceeded to come down on the wererats with the speed and efficiency of the Spetsnaz.
Name of PC: Rogar
Race/Class/Level: Dwarf Cleric of Iomedae 6
Adventure: Seven Days to the Grave
Catalyst: A successful will save, followed by a failed fortitude save.
The Gory Details: :
The party had just finished off a fairly brutal set-piece encounter, which included almost all of the Clerics of Urgathoa, almost all the plague doctors (which I'd given levels of Alchemist to), Jolistina (who had escaped), Davalus (also escaped), and Rolth. Nobody actually died in this encounter, but 2 party members were hit with a blindness spell (the fighter and the alchemist, if I recall), and the party had maybe 10 first level spells between them. What do they do? They look at each other, and say "Yeah. Let's keep going."
And so they do. Whatever little sense they possess keeps them from messing with the leukodaemon, but that sense leave them quickly, as they barge into Lady Andasain's room. The party quickly took shots from range (she has air walk) on at her before her initiative count, which is when she hit them with her Mass Suggestion to go prone. All but the Cleric decided that the Temple of Urgathoa was an awesome place to lie down. The cleric took one more shot at her, and was hit by a ranged touch of death. Now, this particular player has problems with "magic dice" that always seem to roll high, so I casually announced that this was a big save and gestured toward the center of our table. All eyes on him. And he fumbles his save. Boom. Dead. The small consolation is that the blind fighter, directed by the bard proceeds to lay waste to Andasain, even with the house-ruled -4 to hit and the 50% miss chance.
Name of PC: Ibuprofen (of Tylenol fame)
Race/Class/Level: Tiefling Alchemist 10
Adventure: Escape from Old Korvosa
Catalyst: Trying to tank. Was not a tank.
The Gory Details: :
A little info on this guy. This was Tylenol's replacement. This alchemist had the strangest aversion to carrying alchemist's fire and/or grenades on her person. So, shortly after descent into the vivified labyrinth, the party came across the fungal Djinn. For some odd reason Ibuprofen was in the lead, and was promptly flanked, and laid to waste. No silliness with this one. Just plain bad luck. The Djinn got a few good crits on her, and down went the alchemist.
Name of NPC: Vencarlo Orisini, aka "Snazzy Robinhood"
Race/Class/Level: medium-age [sic] human Rogue 2/Fighter 5/Duelist 2
Adventure: Escape from Old Korvosa
Catalyst: A few bad saves
The Gory Details: :
Vencarlo, whom the party insisted on calling "Snazzy Robinhood," did not have an intersting death. Vimaya, being the walking TPK she is, had many of her stats subbed out, which did grant her some spellcasting. Now, Vencarlo happened to be part of the densest line, and got nailed by a lightning bolt, and a few other spells before dying an ignominious death.
What WAS interesting was what happened after Vimaya went invisible. Using her Disguise Self, she turned into Vencarlo, (Pretty sure this would break invis, but it didn't because I say so.) lay down next to him, and cast invisibility on his body. Pretending to be Vencarlo, "he came back to life." Now, despite the reincarnated cleric making an awesome heal check and determining that Vencarlo was 110% stone cold dead a minute before, nobody questioned it. Not one of them. These people are not nearly paranoid enough for people whose job involves treasure chests trying to eat them on occasion.
They make it up to the topmost bridge, which was above the bottom-most ledge. Vimaya then attempts to make a CMB check to reposition the cleric from "on the bridge" to "not." She rolled a one. It was frustrating to have this awesome plan that was destroyed by a die roll, as I roll in the open. Then again, I've seen many players experience the same.
As written, no. But, I would rule that yes it would, though at half efficacy. This does not apply to an LN cleric of an LN god. Only an LN cleric of a LE god.

Int 24
Wis 20

Magic item -
Wand of make whole
Satchel of holding (type II)
Mystic tattoo (shy woman) (special ink, more like paint then a tattoo. You can't really "tattoo" a snail. Underneath shell.)
Special ablities-
Hear me out-
With a dc 30 diplomacy check, ... Can shift a creature (or creatures) attitude to her and her companion to unfriendly from hostile, for one minute. This allows her to make a proper diplomacy check to calm crowds, locals, etcetera...
This does not work on creature above 5 HD, and is really just there of dealing with commoners.
.
Is a zif who, by human standards is a genius. By zif standarda, she is quite intelligent. She Left Zif society at a young age, acting as a scout of sorts, to see how the majority of people would react to them. It went over well-
She graduated an arcane collage at the age of ten, and crafts constructs. She wanders around, looking for a school that could teach him more. Her time sight needs honing, and perhaps she could start on his psionic talents. She is also trying to find a way to recreate her greatest success- a life-spark construct. So far, any attempts to do so hate resulted in anything from wasted Material to arcane explosions. She treats her companion much like one would treat a brother. She has an imperial accent, as the zif haven't changed thier accent since they got here.
"Tural"
Her companion is a young clockwork lifespark agathion (leonial) that has a small ego, knowing he is a created creature. The fact that he isn't a real dragon is a very touchy subject, and he often denies that he isn't "real".
