Party Buffs we cast: Message, Good Hope, Mass Planar Adaptation I am riding Meteor and Meteor is flying about 100 feet up.
That fire aura DC is way to low to really affect anyone from the mooks, but that boss DC is hard to ignore. Also keep in mind that the rest of the mooks are not immune to each others auras and they would get just as burned by the aura as anyone else would (unless they have a fire resistance/immunity). I think we all have a way to play keep away from the boss and beyond his reach he is really hampered and can't do much. A couple of javelins is not going to cut it for damage and without his own means to fly to get us, he is in trouble. If he turns into the dire bat form (really bad idea) he is much worse off and looses most of his devastating attacks and all that armor and size advantage, then is subject to getting beat up in flying combat which some of us are really good at. Forgot to note that Vampires cannot enter a private home or dwelling unless invited in by someone with the authority to do so. Mooks can't invite so I guess he couldn't even come in the building even if we figured out the D-Door or teleport to get him in there. Not sure if he is allowed to destroy the building as a means to get in. There is probably some rule about that. From a creativity standpoint, if we just stay in the building, then he can't get to us. Worst case, I d-door outside above the building to safety.
Keep in mind that if he comes in the room, he can share floor space with us as he is 3 sizes larger than everyone else in the room, but the roof will still be a problem for him. If he is standing up, then his head, shoulders and arms are all going to be sticking out the top of the building. He wouldn't be able to see in the building to do anything until he destroys enough of the roof to see through it. As Kuchen said, I would have assumed he had some way of Dimension Door as a free action to get inside at that level (1000HD). Though he would still have problems standing up in there. I would have just D-door'd onto the roof and came crashing in if I needed to get close. Really though, his level is beyond god like. Even adding in the 10 mythic tiers for all of us, I don't think we would survive the fight. We'd all resurrect the next day or sooner and could probably keep everyone alive long enough to kill all the mooks but succumb to the boss in the end.
Looking around like I lost a contact lens. "Where'd Kuchen go? I heard him and I swear I just saw him a second ago right over there and now he's gone. Everyone be careful where you step we don't want any accidents." "Meteor get out here, we have trouble. And get off the bed, I know you're on it aren't you? I've told you a million times, you have your own bed and stay off mine."

Meteor wakes up from his nap in the other room and is standing on the bed.
Having been lured to the pizza slumber party by a guy in a white nondescript van that said free candy on the side. I was looking forward to some food and something called "playing doctor". As a big fan of Dr. Who I couldn't resist the invitation. "I'm hungry, I didn't get any slices of the pizza before Casper stole it all. I thought this slumber party was going to be fun but now we can't watch movies or play any console games on the busted TV. I wonder if we're going to play doctor now?"
Character is built and attached to this alias.
fluff: Background: Tinsel is a Paladin/Cleric/Holy Vindicator Meteor is my Paladin Divine Bond Mount/Monstrous Animal Companion/cohort of the Emperor Kirin type (Sorcerer/Cleric) which is a flying stag skinned as a flying reindeer. I'm generally riding my mount and we are flying. I have a lance for use while mounted. Strategy:
First attack is generally a flying charge. Pet makes a Powerful Charge gore attack and tries to impale the enemy (Impaling Charge). I attempt a normal mounted charge attack with lance after swift action activating my Stigmata. Subsequent round attacks are breath weapon or full attack from Meteor and full attack from Tinsel. If multiple enemies, then vital strike/cleave. Additional attacks may use sword instead of lance. Alternate attack strategy is mounted fly by attacks. Occasionally Meteor will use a Delayed Blast Fireball (17d6) spell. Healing:
I got the impression we would need a lot more than standard lvl 20 to go against the things Sebecloki was going to throw at us. I assumed he was going to scale it based on our crazyness, but I also assumed I was going to die in a big giant mess of red snow as my blood rains down all over the place. I see Krampus making snow angels in the red snow of his fallen foes. With just a single level 20 gestalt character, I think we could all make a single character that could kill Krampus one on one just using the regular rules. I was just assuming each of the bad guys was going to be scaled a bit to make it challenging/deadly. I'm mean Krampus with his 8 Dire Reindeer would easily overwhelm any of us and be a challenge.
Can you check my rules mastery (and even more cheese) with the below? LOL, I built a Goliath Druid/Tetori Monk as a grapple monster while trying to come up with the concept I wanted for this campaign. I was going to style it as a huge teddy bear that just wanted to hug everyone and smothers them under all the affection. Single round grapple/pin/tie but decided that would be no fun for everyone else. You would need some GM approval for this because mounting the weapon cart to your animal companion is not really allowed. How are you getting your Animal Companion larger than Gargantuan? Assuming you're riding a Mammoth, there is no size larger than the gargantuan for a Mammoth. It can start out as Huge (mammoth rider pet) and Animal Growth up one size. I don't know of any trick to get this pet larger. It can't Wild Shape (Beast or giant) into larger than huge. Also Peppermint would need to be carrying the weapon and mounting cart when Wild Shaping which isn't really possible, so the weapon would grow, the mounting wouldn't. I'd build around the fact that the character will always be prone when shooting that thing.
I'm not using any third party stuff (don't own any) and keeping everything within the PFS rules (except Leadership, gestalt, roll your own ability scores, and roll your own HP). My Pally mount would be slightly less buff if it wasn't a Monstrous Companion (cohort from Leadership). But even with just standard stuff, level 20 is pretty good for a silly Christmas themed Krampus hunting. I would guess everyone would be about 250-300 HP with a 40 AC (AC 20 + level) for a pretty standard level 20 power curve. Average attacks would be +30/+25/+20/+15 (BAB level + 10).
Plugging that into Hero Lab for a weapon and increasing size. 2d12 -> 6d6 -> 8d6 -> 12d6 -> 16d6 (caps out)We know that 1d12 -> 3d6 based on the rules in the Core Rulebook. So 2d12 should go to 6d6. I'm not sure why Hero Lab caps out at 16d6, but the next logical step would be 24d6 based on the doubling.
Fleshed out a bit. Backstory: Tinsel Swordmaker was a happy little elf in Santa's toy shop making the toy swords for all the little boys and girls of the world. Making all those swords eventually led him to start practicing with them and he became very good with the sword over the many years of toy making and made some of the finest examples of nerf swords known to man and elvenkind. His faithful companion Meteor the Reindeer has been with him for years and serves as his reliable mount. If you hear Tinsle shouting a warning about Golden Meteor Showers, run for cover because Meteor seems to think it is really funny to pee on everyone below him while he flies overhead. Tinsel was there the night Krampus and his evil allies attacked Santa's Village and killed most of the Toy Makers (Profession and Craft). That was the night the Stigmata (Holy Vindicator) reappearred on Tinsel's body which resulted in the Bloodrain that painted the village red with his blood as it rained down on all his foes. Unfortunately Krampus was able to get away so we gathered a posse of the few living elves and followed the trail of destruction from human village to village as Krampus slaughtered all the little boys and girls. We were able to find a couple of the kids that hid well enough not to be found during Krampus's rampage and they have joined our crusade to save Santa and Christmas.
