Return of the Runelords Spoilers:
With the 2e transition, Belimarius is dead. Have not done Return-OTRL only ROTRL and Shattered Star, but there is no way in heck my group leaves her alive (maybe if she had clones like Shorshen idk). Shorshen, before her redemption arc, is the near the worst of the worst as far a people can be and the only reason she has a chance of redemption is because she has the time to try due to functional immortality. The only reason she would be alive is because there is NO WAY they are beating a level 20/ 9 MR Wizard without doing 1e munchkin shenanigans. Belimarius then would have no chance for my group of friends that have played the Runelords adventures

"The Dresden" A Thaumaturge (Amulet, Wand(Blasting Rod), Weapon(Staff) with the Sorcerer Dedication(for blast spells). Whatever background is closest to a P.I.

Maybe vice versa after I get a look at the dedication for Thaumaturge and/or the lack of full spell prof. progression for the Sorc. blast spells is too crippling (which is very likely).

Spoiler from books:
Maybe Chosen One background? i.e. Starborn

I personally would prefer the proper names, with the common names in the parenthetical. It's not a big gripe, but enough that I would post on the forums and let it be known that it irks me.

A special super-sized gate spell put in the way of the stars orbit about the center of the galaxy.

Given the our own solar systems speed of ~220kms about the the center of our own galaxy and our Sun's size it would take a little over an hour and a half to fully disappear through the gate itself.
That would give the PC's some time to stop whatever is powering this spell.

I made a point of only using spells from the Core for Sorshen's loadout, since James said the point of runelords was to show off what could be done without expansion pack spells and such. However, I had to break this rule for the items in order to get her stats to match her CR but I again had precedent on my side so that wasn't much of a problem.

I did not know James said that, I will have to adjust accordingly later when I have some time to look through them.

You did very well in my opinion. It looks like I did a lot of the same stuff and I may have to steal the things I like for your build that were different for my own, in the nicest imitation is the sincerest form of flattery kind of way. :) I did not use the mythic rules though, mine just uses the simple beyond 20th level from the core rulebook since it has worked well for me in the past as long as you don't go to far above 20.

Here is my first draft of sorts still needs a good bit of tweaking

Sorshen-ZarkinFrood

Oh and I have to thank you for reminding me of google docs it is great for this.

You have said that the thassilonian specialization cannot use focused schools, but i might just make an exception for my stating of Sorshen for my continuation of CotCT campaign. I find the idea of the Force of Will ability still getting the PC's with high will saves puts a pleasing evil GM smile on my face, such as our wizard making his will save but having a precious wish spell used for her benefit via a dominate effect.

Do you think it is too much to change it in such a way? I find that given the centuries since Sorshen and the original seven runelords assassinated Emperor Xin they have had ample time to delve deeply into and modify the original teaching Xin laid out when he first laid the groundwork for thassilons magic. Since she would not able to change to a focused school after she chose it after coming under Xin's tutelage, i am personally thinking of an artifact of her own construction enabling her to somehow shift to the contoller school or other enchantment focused schools. Thoughts? Comment?

What do you mean by "focused schools?"

The Focused Arcane Schools from the APG, such as admixture, controller,counterspell schools.

I am really looking forward to this one, being a fan of the NPC gallery in the GM Guide. Even if I don't get a lot of use out of it myself I'm sure the others folks in my group who GM games will. It'll be very nice for the impromptu games we like to have on days when no is session planned.


Also i changed updated my card information for my AP sub and still do not have access to the PDF's in my downloads. I understand the physical copy taking a while due to S&S #6 being on back order just wondering why the downloads have not shown up. Order # 2173359


It is currently not being applied to my cart items and I don't think it applied to my last order. I'm sure you guys are busy with Gen-Con so no rush, wish I could be there.
