<p>Like, an 18 Dex monk (and that's burning quite a bit on maxing dex) has the same AC as a raging 14 Dex barbarian. I guess by level 20 the monk is sort of catching up, but considering most gameplay happens at low level, why is the monk the single easiest class to hit/is there a way to fix this?</p>So, I've been sitting around creating playtest characters with friends all day, and I gotta say: Monks have the lowest AC of any class.

<p>Which means my options are</p>
<p>A) Delay entering Horizon Walker until level 8, which (for very complicated reasons) increases my AC by 2, which would get me up to 23/26 shielded AC at level 8, 23/27 at 9, and 25/29 at 10. None of those numbers are super great :/ but this is probably my best option, and Crystal Spaulders make it less terrible.</p>
<p>B) save up, craft an Armiger's Panoply and buy regular full plate armor. This means taking a standard action to get •out• of armor (not super terrible for mythic characters), and roughly the same AC but with extra goodies from not burning class abilities for it.</p>
<p>C) Just avoid melee combat or something. Maybe craft some obscure AC boosting items through nefarious means. At level 11 I can get hustle power and a +5 boost to AC through metamorphosing into a small armored humanoid as a move action because everything is shenanigans.</p>
<p>• • •</p>
<p>My big problem with ABP is that it seriously back-ends a lot of bonuses that frontline fighters/martials would otherwise prioritize; at level 17, for instance, AC goes up by 3, while at our level it goes up by 1 every 3 levels, and as a result ABP tends to down-power martial character. Which honestly is probably fine because martial characters are OP anyway, and gestalt balances all that out.</p>Yeah, I might stay away from the front lines for a bit.

<p>Some of the ideas mentioned above might be a bit tricky to explain to the characters around you without being intensely distrusted or even persecuted, such as a Soaring Blade's telekinesis and summoned weapons (vs, say, a throwing-focused class whose magic is more subtle), the Alchemy stuff (as Rednal mentioned, explanation is going to matter there), a Sun Warrior who shoots giant laser beams out of their sword(vs one whose light magic perhaps manifests in less dramatic ways), etc.</p>
<p>The GM will obviously have more thought-out opinions about all this stuff. I'd just suggest at the end of the day making sure your character feels like they'd be at home with vikings, either as a local or a foreigner who has been able to find acceptance.</p>I'd just like to add that it's worth having a way to cover for anything that might normally be "witchcraft."

<p>I apologize for Atheos coming on too strong. I think he was a bit of an antagonistic deity from the start, but I was also expecting new gods to fight back more directly.

<p>I'd be fine resetting a bit, but if so, I think Atheos might be retiring somewhat, and letting a more neutral version of him (maybe the librarian he created) take over as an entity more interested in the creation of worlds.</p>Hey guys!

<p>In the deepest darkness, Atheos felt the presence of another. Something dark, and terrible—but also absent, leaving behind only a city in the darkness, a city built on surprising perfection.</p>
<p>And on fear.</p>
<p>Atheos sensed the chaos of this place. Here was a race built on the same sparks of life that now stretched across every strata of the world; but their creator had sown them as creatures of fear, misunderstanding, violent hunters in the darkness. Or so was their potential, at least. A society bound together in a rigid caste system strained against what he saw as the Nithrans' nature; and perhaps it was only fear and belief that kept them in their places, little more than servants to the upper castes by nothing but a divine fiat that held them in fanaticism.</p>
<p>This, he knew well.</p>
<p>The Lord of Atheism's campaign against the Nithrans was longer and more involved than his brief work with the dwarves. But there was potential here.</p>
<p>From the darkness, voices came. Demons, creatures of night, and other gods. It would not have been enough to fool any who had heard them speak, but Atheos called forth to the stoutest warriors with the voices and grandeur of a prophet of Apedemak, promising glory and eternal honor to any who held just battle as the only true purpose of life; with the whispers of the Irtarans, he called out to the most skilled artists and smiths, explaining that they could find personal satisfaction in perfecting their craft, offering no help to others as they retreated to find new caverns in which to practice their craft alone. Spiders crept to the nobles in their castles, promising a greater understanding of all things through inaction, patience, and music.</p>
<p>And as Atheos delivered the gifts that other gods had shared to this new, darkened city, he imparted some of his own as well. The farmers, growing mushrooms and hunting lizards in the caverns, learned democracy, demanding greater and greater control over their own lives.</p>
<p>Perhaps it would not have ordinarily been so easy; but these were creatures of chaos and fear. And as chaos began to spread, disrupting the orderly castes, fear spread as well, pitting sectors of society. Within a month of his arrival, the five leaders of the Nithrans were pulled from their houses and executed by a revolutionary band, the words <b>"Another proves more worthy, and casts you down"</b> written in their blood on their streets.</p>
<p>It was perhaps a bit bloodier than Atheos had intended, though this was the only act of outright violence, as the warriors began to see strength of words and ethics as a nobler weapon than the swords forged by the "inferior Makers." But still, the thing was done. The castes of the Nithrans still stood, but now they stood as conflicting factions, fragmenting, allying, and arguing with each other about who should rule their people, and how—and the Nithrans scattered further as a people, into factions and rebellions and political party.</p>

<p>In caves of magma and basalt, Atheos came across the dwarves, creatures educated in darkness and greed, the servants of a great dragon. Endlessly, they toiled away, amassing wealth for their creator. Atheos sensed Tissari's influence in the magic of the caverns, but creativity herself had missed a crucial point.</p>
<p>And so a new voice joined the dwarves in their mines. He was Nothing, he told them; just another servant of Lortimas. And did this seem right? A great big, fat, greedy snake sleeping all day while his creations brought him wealth? Of course it did, it was how things were. Nobody could imagine a different world. And Nobody spoke, explaining how impossible it would be to change life for the dwarves. Owning property of their own? How preposterous. Of course they would simply have to step forward, demand the right to spend time growing better food, living quarters, limited hours. Of course they would simply need to set aside most of the jewels and metal they found as personal wealth, paying their god only a cut, tithe, or tax in exchange for being allowed to mine on the land that he apparently owned.</p>
<p>But Nobody supported this idea. After all, it would require the dwarves to work together to deliver their demands. Sure, they were a lawful race, but did that mean they could stand in solidarity, learning from their creator and mimicking his own greed? Perhaps it did. </p>
<p>And so a few of the most senior and respected dwarves banded together, and on flowing scrolls of parchment given to them by No One, wrote out a list of demands: personal wealth, personal living space, and freedom to guide society under their own direction and greed, rather than that of an uncaring fire snake.</p>

And, gathered in one place, they eventually fell into violence and arguments, unable to decide who would lead this convocation of tribes.</p>
<p>From the quarreling crowd, a simple, unadorned tribesman stepped forward. Others around him had claimed they were the wisest, or the quickest, or the cleverest, but one by one this stranger defeated them in battles of words, showing greater wisdom, greater wits, and clearer thought through riddles and challenges. When asked his name, the stranger replied he was No One, and slipped away into the shadows.</p>
<p>Many of the tribesmen had returned to their canoes and rafts, and then traveled back to the island with the hunting spears they had left behind at their tents on the riverbanks. One of these claimed he would rule the island, and kill any who opposed him. A woman stepped forward, clutching a small child. "I am Nothing," she said, "And you have no right to rule me." And so the man with the spear stabbed the woman, and she died, horribly, the child wailing at her side; and the crowd fell sick to their stomachs, and turned on the man with the spear, and the dead woman and child were gone.</p>
<p>On the island, some turned from violence, but many turned away altogether, prepared to divide up the island, or return to the far away sea banks. And a small child, calling himself Nobody, chastised them, called them names hurtful and true, over the fact that they would willingly abandon food and safety in order to be free of their differences. And this argument struck true as well.</p>
<p>And as the people of the island began to talk again, they no longer argued as before, but discussed their differences respectfully. Three names were put forward to lead the island: No One, Nothing, and Nobody, and the oldest and wisest among them began to understand, and soon, talks began on a way to reorganize the island, with each tribe led by nobody, and thus giving each human a voice in turn.</p>
<p>As the many tribes at the mouth of the sea began to blend together into one, nobody came to help them. Nothing moved among them, suggesting new locations for tents that showed more organization, allowing fields to be carefully planned out, simple huts organized along the same basic plan as the idyllic city of the Great Axis. No one showed how to build fences and stockades of trees and sticks, protecting the island against the predators of the sea, or against the tribes that had not joined them.</p>
<p>And slowly, piece by piece, the City of Quarrel's End began to rise above the potato fields of its small island, surrounded by the rafts and canoes of fishermen and lumberjacks.</p>

Sure, Araneae had granted them foresight. But Zakaz's children preyed on them no more than any other creatures of the forest, Tissari's Irtara stayed far away, and Apedemak seemed far more preoccupied with his beasts.</p>
<p>And perhaps this was for the best. It was a sign—perhaps too optimistic, but a sign nevertheless—that the other gods might continue to leave humans alone, small and forgotten creatures that they were.</p>
<p>Still: getting to the sort of world he wanted would require the gentlest of nudges.</p>
<p>At the mouth of the Sea of Fire, near the ocean, sat a small island. Wind scoured it, rain soaked it, and finally, lightning set the whole thing ablaze, until the soil of the whole island had been fertilized with layers of ash. Carefully guiding the winds from afar, Atheos had watched the fire carefully; and in its stead was left behind a simple, dirty plant.</p>
<p>Still, with the trees gone, the single plant thrived on the small island, growing into new and taller forms. In the rich soil that mixed Zakaz's blood with wood ash, the island grew lush and green. On the banks of the sea around it, a small group of humans grew curious, and swam to the island, discovering to their surprise that the tubers lying below its greenery were large, filling, and nutritious, even in the half-light. Over a generation, this small group began to care for the island, picking away any plants that did not belong, and eventually picking the smallest and dullest tubers as well, until the plant began to change and adapt, nature tamed into a staple crop.</p>
<p>For a time, they were alone; but the bounty of the island was great, and the local tribe prospered. Soon, they were met by members of other tribes, who had seen the people on a distant island and, curious, made the dangerous swim.</p>
<p>Or, some floated. The people of the First Philospher's finger lived short lives, and adapted quickly, guided by Zakaz's stolen blood flowing through them. When strong valley winds or lightning strikes knocked down trees, they saw how these trees floated on the lake; and the last tribes at the island did so on rafts of logs, lashed together or carved out into canoes. And when the island grew full, these new tribes took tubers on their new boats, and traveled to the nearby banks across the sea, knocking down trees to make new growing space, which they filled with berries and broad leaves and nut bushes as well as the tubers of the island. A few of the most enterprising found new uses for their hunting spears as well, pulling glowing fish and sea creatures from the depths to use as lanterns and food.</p>

Because it seems like hitting any enemy right now requires a very difficult PER roll, which itself takes a half-phase to look around, which means at best we get half our normal actions, and that not even every time we act.

<p>@Astral projection: Astral projection isn't a teleportation effect, and neither is shadow walk. Blightburn crystals (found in the black desert) block all spells with the teleportation subtype.

<p>Astral projection is much harder to stop, which is why the vampire uses it. Previously, none of the illustrious and ancient drow had thought about astral projecting their "servants" as a blood source, but the mechanics check out. Sure, "willing" is a requirement, but when a bunch of liches and vampires hold a magic knife to your face and say "astral project with us our else," you go along with it.</p>
<p>@Shimsil: Yeah, that's fine.</p>
<p>@Amaven: Yeah, now's as good a time as any.</p>
<p>@Summoning: Yeah, you can get a custom summons list of all fiends—with the requirement of "you need a specific fiend of that type to be willing." I guess cohorts probably qualify as well, if they're otherwise left behind in the village. My rationale is that fiends normally summon others of their type because they serve the same cause, and those are demons/devils etc. they'd normally "command" if on their home planes.</p>Sorry!

<p>His twisted gold bracelet hangs empty, a secret compartment at the ready for any delightful small snack he might wish to save for later.

I'm having a TON of difficulty following this game so far. We've got a dozen players controlling 20 characters, each of whom is embroiled in conversations and long descriptive text posts.

<p>-Have we been given anything yet other than "mingle time?" Best I can follow, they just read out the proclamation, and certain random people are talking to each other in the crowd but not actually about anything yet other than small talk. I guess I could try to join in on that, but I can't actually tell who's talking to whom, or where in the city it's happening (and "block 1" isn't a ton of chronology).</p>
<p>-Will be be continuing the whole game with this many players in one thread? If so, can people, when spoilering conversations, maybe hint at who they're talking to or where the conversation's happening in the spoiler?</p>
<p>-Did I miss anything important in the plot yet?</p>
<p>-When people are doing status bars with their vital info, maybe more important right now would it be possible to have a brief description of who/what people actually are?</p>Okay, so...

He's not exactly happy about the designation "high bounty," since it's not doing wonders for his reputation—but these "ex-cons" (at least the ones he trusts enough to personally hire, though maybe not the whole group) are poachers, smugglers, pickpockets, etc.—not bandits or armed robbers, and not the sort to actually get into armed fights.

<p>Milo might know Anton's brother Orvin, who was until recently one of Restov's most talented forgers/smugglers of cut-rate Kyonin artifacts, but that's also a different sort of crime.</p>

<p><b><span class=messageboard-ooc>The night before</span></b></p>
<p><i>The Casket-Head Inn</i>, located a short ride down the road from Restov proper, has seen a few hard years—with bandits what they are these days, even among the farmlands, there's less and less travel and trade into the Stolen Lands; and those that ride with wealth and status prefer the peace of mind offered by well-guarded city walls. In a few days, Father Mackowski will be leaving the inn and all of its contents to his creditors. But Orvin Rabinoff is quite well-read in Rostland contract law, and is confident that this only includes whatever <i>happens</i> to be left behind in the inn. The furniture, the rugs, and the candlesticks have already been sold to junkers or bundled up into wagons; the provisions that will keep are squared away as well, as the priest of Cayden "sold" every last tack loaf, mead barrel and strip of jerky to himself (and, legally speaking, his final customer) for all the spare change he had in his pocket. Which means that everything else in the storerooms—the meats, eggs, and small beers that would spoil fast on the trail—will be eaten tonight.</p>
<p>It was supposed to be a <i>small</i> celebration. The Brothers Rabinoff, their personal servants, and a few other members of the Iron Alley Boys now also gone legitimate, smoking whole sides of beef over a roaring fire while good old Caskethead Mackowski showed once and for all that he had finally got the hang of brewing. There were enough rooms in the inn for everyone to sleep comfortably in a bed one last time—or at least to sleep on half of a bed. But then the <i>others</i> showed up. Men, women, a few canny and well-armed orphans. A certain familiar shiftiness to their company, though signs indicated that they might not own the same generous quantities of soap Anton Rabinoff had purchased for his followers. And the names they called themselves—terrible names, the sort that reveled in shamelessness, with "High Bounty" apparently being the consensus. A few had been invited by the trappers, and they invited others, and others, and soon half of the inn was people its owner couldn't name, sleeping on the floor where they passed out, bringing their own jars and bottles of terrible grog, and praising Anton Rabinoff and his brother in ways that made the Swordlord scowl with embarrassment and disappointment.</p>
<p>Still. If people other than the original hand-picked team want to follow the well-stocked Rabinoff wagons, they'll no doubt learn to fall in line quickly, and realize that this expedition is a clean slate, not simply a coat of paint. And this thought gives Mackowski and the rest of the Iron Alley Boys a bit of relief, as well as knowing just who will be in charge of rationing the <i>good</i> beers.</p>

<p>It's still quiet a full hour after sunrise in the Casket-Head Inn. A few men have woken up, stoking embers in the fireplace while the rest still sleep. In the broom closet, Orvin Rabinoff hides under a pile of blankets, slipping notes out through the door to request breakfast from the first person willing to make some. Upstairs in his room, Anton practices his standard morning routine—training quietly with a wooden sword for a full two hours after sunrise, only to emerge later than everyone else in the inn, and politely apologize for sleeping through breakfast. In his experience, being a Swordlord comes down mostly to practice and experience.</p>
<p>Anton Rabinoff has no interest in actually standing around in a square full of farmers and soldiers for two hours listening to rumors while everyone gets cold and smelly. Instead, he has found a seat at the nearest <i>actual</i> eating establishment with a balcony view into the square; his herald, Barnie Costak, works the crowd, listening for names, making introductions, and potentially inviting others over to Anton's table for a cup of tea and a brief respite from the noise and crowd.</p>
<p>Still, tucked away carefully in his haversack, Anton carries a number of books. A few of these are blank; on the pages of one, he writes down every name his herald mentions. Later, he will look up the families, deeds, and arms of any names he does not recognize; especially those who might be aligned to a noble house.</p>

<span class=messageboard-ooc>(sure, why not)</span></p>
<p>As he's moving through the crowd, a small bard taps Darvan on the knee. <b>"Hey! Fist man!"</b> the halfling squeaks. <b>"I hear you've been challenging Swordlords to a punching contest all morning. That's a realllll bad idea—telling hot-tempered duelists who devote their lives to the sword that they'd be better off without one is about as bad as insults get, and I'd be careful not to wander into any South-side alleys for the next day or two. Still. Stilllll. If you want to see how your foreign battle arts stack up against an actual Swordlord, I know exactly one who'd be willing to give you the time of day... though perhaps any day other than <i>this</i> one."</b></p>Oh, man. This many people trying to converse in one threat is gonna get... hard to follow. Ah well. Time for the standard PBP long introductory post...
The night before
The Casket-Head Inn, located a short ride down the road from Restov proper, has seen a few hard years—with bandits what they are these days, even among the farmlands, there's less and less travel and trade into the Stolen Lands; and those that ride with wealth and status prefer the peace of mind offered by well-guarded city...Anton Rabinoff (alias of thunderbeard)2016-12-20T10:31:43ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post: GM Supergreat's Skull & Shackles: Some Kind Of Pun About Fish People - GameplayReefclaw Kraol (alias of thunderbeard)https://paizo.com/campaigns/GMSupergreatsSkullShacklesSomeKindOfPunAboutFishPeople/gameplay#432016-12-20T09:01:24Z2016-12-20T09:01:24Z<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Wait, so who still hasn't gone?

<p><b>"But that said—there is a power vacuum stretching across the entire continent to the north. Ending Shaorhaz and his legions was a work of exceptional craftsmanship and intelligence; there are crusader orders that will refer to it as the "Miracle of Greengrave" for centuries to come, though I suspect in the retelling, certain priests will maintain that Iomedae herself opened up a holy volcano under the demon's keep. Restoring what we have of this city is a great service indeed; and most of you have shown a certain resilience to dying."</b></p>
<p><b>"So, with that in mind: I, and the other elder members will follow me on this, am offering membership in this city—or perhaps this nation's—governing council to every member of your group. In Meredian's case, our priestess would remain a provisional councilor, with the full title contingent on solving her mortality problem, though Diamanda has a great deal of knowledge on Drow physiology and assures me there are several quick and painless ways to accomplish this."</b></p>
<p><b>"As decisions of the council, including admitting new members, have historically been decided by simple majority vote, this would give your group—I suppose I can no longer call you mercenary agents—control of our decisions from here on forward.

<p>Ragepouncelance, of course, isn't actually as good as it sounds, since only the first attack is multiplied by lance/spirited charge. However, mythic vital strike doesn't have that problem; it multiplies your damage (including spirited charge bonus) by the number of attacks you get from BAB. Depending on the wording of pounce + swordsmanship, you could arguably make one attack at the end of the charge that gets massively multiplied, then make your other attacks as regular (as with normal ragepouncelance but with significantly more damage).</p>
<p>Coordinated Charge is the kicker. You get a valet familiar, have it charge a different enemy, and you get two of your massive death attacks per turn. (And if one of your pre-req teamwork feats is escape route, shared with your mount, you never provoke AoOs for moving while mounted).</p>CT said it was okay because that makes spiderling's cooler, and it's a high-powered campaign.

<p>With 9 attacks, Kiki might just be the highest damage dealer in the group already, though I haven't done the math, ragepouncelance or flurrying large bastard sword might be more effective. </blockquote><p>There are two ways to think about this. The first is that A) according to a strict RAW, you can't actually use Multiweapon Fighting and ITWF at the same time at all, and need to pick one; the second is that B) If you want to argue RAI it makes sense to be able to improve it, there's the consideration that the devs clearly intended for it to give only one more attack, as there exist no feats that grant more than a single extra attack.
<p>According to the B interpretation, you could probably take ITWF multiple times, one for every limb.</p>
<p>Note that it's technically possible to have 4 off-hands on a two-armed character (boulder helmet/barbazu beard, two spiked boots, and a regular shield). However, a normal character can only attack with two of those, generally following the argument that "the mind of a two-limbed character can't process more than two weapons." Thus, you can wield a boulder helmet or spiked boot alongside a 2H weapon with 2WF, but even a Kasatha could only use up to two boots and two arms (again, the whole "no more attacks than limbs" thing is actually pretty defined in the race builder).</p>Xanya Zellor wrote:CT already ruled that it works for multiple arms, that is you get an iterative for each one.

<p>Around level 5-6, when I bother to take Shield Other, my eidolon will have (effectively) around 90 HP. The real kicker comes when Arcane Bloodrider hits level 8, though—constant displacement AND resist energy, plus heavy armor barding, means Pamburu will hit around 35 AC and effectively be able to take around 300 points of damage before dropping.</p>
<p>Not all mounts are weak; you just need to use them cleverly.

Sorry, missed this earlier, I'm back from a busy weekend (in which I prioritized my existing games over checking recruitment threads).</p>
<p>Dan's full-caster side is focused on conjuration, but he'll move into creation at higher levels—slow, out-of-combat spells that give him utility and utility summons that will fill missing party niches as we level up. (One summon is heal-focused, giving fast healing instead of cures for healing that's mostly useful out of battle; one is buff-focused, boosting saves and party abilities in combat via war trumpeting; and one is basically a big riding cat that can play the drums) This side is also basically totem-themed.</p>
<p>On the combat side, he's focused on destruction, but moving into alteration, giving sonic shout attacks and war songs that will transform the party, with more of a traditional skaldic-type magic. Together, there's a bit of a creation/destruction split in the gestalt. But I picture Dan as sort of the closest you can get to a hard rock bard in a fantasy setting.</p>Hey guys!

<p>The Crimson Stranger works quickly; despite the fact that, like all powerful magic, opening a <i>Gate</i> to the abyss disrupts somewhat the form to which you are accustomed. Boldened, perhaps, by your consistent chain of successes, she approaches the task quickly, and for the first time you catch a glimpse of her broken form without her retreating. Transmutation and illusion spells melt away, and her human form is momentarily reduced to what appears to be a skeleton coated in a thick layer of lead, before she steps <i>out</i> of her body to draw a few magic circles. To Meridian’s trained senses, Crimson appears to be nothing more than a faint astral projection (like herself, though perhaps more translucent) as she casts the spell, before quickly muttering a <i>Possession</i> and then merging back with the skeleton, which warps and swells through a variety of forms before settling again on “human.”</p>Meredian:

If people want me to stick around and try to be more active, I can, but I get the feeling that this game already has enough players and I'm not contributing much to the world.Arvid Songstál (alias of thunderbeard)2016-06-25T09:45:48ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post: GM Choon presents The Witchwar Legacy GameplayCharlotte Adellan (alias of thunderbeard)https://paizo.com/campaigns/GMChoonPresentsTheWitchwarLegacy/gameplay&page=8#3822016-06-25T09:41:54Z2016-06-25T09:41:54Z<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Hmm!

While he's never had a head for this tactical stuff, he seems to be one of the few people at the protest actually paying attention, and that's made him nervous. <i>I'm not the only one playing the crowd, am I?</i></p>
<p>Stepping out of the pond, he dries himself off with a wave of prestidigitation, and gathers a handful of dirty water from the banks. Focusing on the spell, he freezes the water into three crude, small orbs of room-temperature ice, which he juggles briefly and then tosses to people in the crowd. <span class=messageboard-ooc>Prestidigitation, so they're "crude objects" which will melt into mud after an hour.</span> <b>"Show's over,"</b> he says, shaking his head, <b>"Today's not a good day for satire, apparently."</b></p>
<p>And, trying to be inconspicuous, he returns to his tree, noticing a woman pontificating on the fountain. Turning to lean against the trunk, he spins a quiet <i>Message</i> spell, and then turns to point at Lia with his left hand. With his right hand, he covers his mouth as he whispers. <b><span class=tiny>"Psst! Ms. Politician. Things are going a bit far, and this could get dangerous.

<p><b><span class=tiny>"Don't know what you're trying to accomplish, and it might well get a few people hurt, or worse.

He's trying to blend in, but as long as he's got an audience... well, he might as well give them a show.</p>
<p>And so he puts on a big, oversized smile, and walks towards the lake, reaching into his bag as he does so and pulling out his smallest metal ring and largest leather ball. With a laugh and a flourish, he tosses the ring to one of the smaller audience members, then gestures for them to throw it back. By the time they do, he's close to the lake. Focusing for half a minute on an ongoing <i>Prestidigitation,</i> and summoning an <i>Unseen Servant</i>, he colors the ball bright silver, and the ring in stripes of red and black, the colors of Imperial Cheliax.</p>
<p>Jack throws the ball and ring to new audience members, and waves his hands in a "pass them around" gesture," as he steps into the lake, leaving his pack on the shore. When he's reached shoulder height, he waves again, and this time his Unseen Servant retrieves the ball and ring, rolling them artfully across the park and into the lake.</p>
<p>With a bit of effort, Jack manages to jam the leather ball inside the metal ring such that it sticks, forming a sort of saturn-shape. And then he hurls the ball-and-ring as high as he can into the air, dives into the shallow water, swims for several seconds and pops out again, leaping several feat into the air, fist held aloft; with any luck, he manages to punch the ball so that it flies upwards and out of the ring, and then uses his other hand to spike the silver ball into the crowd while spinning the red-and-black ring on his arm. (If the stunt fails, he tries it a few times, making the failures look intentional). Landing shoulder-deep in the water, he points to the audience, then to the silver ball, then to the opera house and then to the ring on his arm. </p>
<p>And then the Unseen Servant takes the ball back to him, and he shrugs. <i>Nothing I can do,</i> his exaggerated frown says, and then he points at the audience again, and winks, and laughs several seconds of a practiced, tinkling, stereotypical "Elvish" laugh as he does a few backflips.</p>
<p>He'll repeat the performance a few times. The symbolism is crude, but with any luck it'll appeal to the sympathies of the crowd, and maybe get them motivated to go back to protesting. Meanwhile, he scans the observers for anyone not obviously amused, hoping to spot the Silver Ravens contact.</p>

<p><b>"There is more than one ritual,"</b> Jiator replies. <b>"I walked with the servants of the Runelords in the days when the Whispering Way was young, optimistic, unrestrained. There were differences of opinion—some sought knowledge, and lichdom. Others sought power; the strigoi, first vampires on Golarion, were brought forth by wizards who wished to drink their blood. And the simplest, the hungry fools, became ghouls and wights."</b></p>
<p><b>"But even among liches, there was diversity. My ritual, though I remember little, was carried out through song and geometry. Adrexa spurned the whispers in the shadows, forged her own rituals—but they were violent: as she claimed to the Council once, eight hundred Osiriani slaves died screaming in a pit of blood to achieve it, the insult that first drew Pharasma's ire in the centuries before our city's founding."</b></p>
<p><b>"And there was the dragon. Small, green, at first. One of the many familiars who came to Escarra in the days after the city's founding. No one but Hiesnar knows the necessary runes and incantations; but he solved your problem, once.

"There is more than one ritual," Jiator replies. "I walked with the servants of the Runelords in the days when the Whispering Way was young, optimistic, unrestrained. There were differences of opinion—some sought knowledge, and lichdom. Others sought power; the strigoi, first vampires on Golarion, were brought forth by wizards who wished to drink their blood. And the simplest, the hungry fools, became ghouls and wights."

<p>1) Another caster can provide the spells necessary for crafting a magic item; however, they need to cast those spells every single day until the item is finished.

<p>2) "Enchantment" in PF and other d20 games refers to the school of magic, not making magic items like in GURPS.</p>
<p>3) Simon and Blink would be just as effective as crafting as Aleksara, if not more. It should just come down to who has the most unneeded feat slots.</p>
<p>4) Crafting masterwork weapons and armor is actually much harder than enchanting them; these will probably just be far easier to buy.</p>
<p>5) Simon: a sorcerer is going to be better off with a scroll of Permanency than sacrificing a 5th-level slot. And the only way a sorcerer CAN permanency GMF is with a second scroll, and a very high UMD roll; until level 15 or so you're much better off just casting the spell yourself 1/day since it's actually on your list.</p>
<p>Also, an Agile Speed weapon isn't going to be affordable until around level 10, and at that point there are far better weapons you can buy (Boots of Speed and a +3 agile weapon will hit much harder, etc).</p>Okay, let's see.

<p>It's been over a month, but finally the Crimson Stranger reappears at the gates of Escarra. Over the next few hours, she calls the party—and Jiator, and Sir John—to a meeting in the newly constructed town hall.</p>
<p>First, she apologizes for such a long absence; she is happy to see Jiator returned alongside his impressive retinue of bards, but did not expect the party to accomplish this so quickly. <b>"I spent the past month searching for allies,"</b> she explains, <b>"In unexpected places. We never investigated the Rain of Stars in our search for immortality, Jiator—and that was an oversight. Strange things have crawled out of the Silver Mount in the last millennium, and Numeria is a nation transformed from what you may remember. Not much of the magic of the Androffans has made its way underground, let alone to Garund, and I may have found a new and secret weapon for this city. The Technic League called him 'a perfect instrument of death,' when I tortured the agents who refused to treat with me; he is an ancient wizard of Old Androffa, who has found a path beyond death through artistry entirely different than our own, and all he seeks in exchange for his secrets is a chance to conduct his research away from the nuisances of surface life. And perhaps a few assistants, and some rare metals, and aid in testing a few weapons, but these are things Escarra can provide."</b></p>
<p>And then she sits up straight, and imposing; for the first time, you see her pale skin briefly flicker, and for a second the Crimson Stranger is a translucent skeleton wearing too many layers of see-through flesh. And then she is whole again, and speaks with a different voice, at a frequency that seems to resonate the very room you sit in, shaking dust from ancient carvings of stylized rainbows and skulls. <b>"So, now begins the first meeting of the Council of Colors in over twenty-five hundred years. Red, black, and violet preside, hosting petitioners; the meeting will proceed in Undercommon for the convenience of our audience."</b></p>
<p>The Stranger returns to her normal voice, though it is still more resonant than before. <b>"This city has been restored—and I offer you all the chance to be a part of its leadership and growth, should you so choose. Escarra was built as a refuge, a palace of freedom where the world's truly powerful and uninhibited could study magic and war uninhibited by the petty concerns of the living. A place where I could contemplate eternity, Sir John could perfect his reanimations, and Jiator could see his artistic vision realized properly. Others, too, who came later. This hall was once the seat of the Council of Colors, Escarra's ruling body, and it is only its layer upon layer of protection magics that allowed any remnant of it and my libraries to survive at all."</b></p>
<p><b>"But the Council is small. For those of you who wish to join the three of us as equals, I will explain its charter. One, Escarra has no true rulers—our titles are those we craft, and earn, for ourselves—though in the past, I have served as the city's governor, overseeing its administration. I do not wish to take on that role again."</b> And she pauses, listening to a telepathic message, before continuing. <b>"Though Jiator, apparently, has a new-found interest in leadership. Hmm. Such an appointment, as most major decisions in this city, would need to be approved by a simple Council majority."</b></p>
<p><b>"Point two. Council members are inducted—and can be expelled—by a simple majority vote of existing members. However, we require three things of all such petitioners, to be argued in writing, speech, or some other form. First, members of the Council must have found a way to defeat death, in a permanent fashion. Second, members must offer a unique or exceptional talent to the success or survival of this city. Third, members of the Council must be master of their own soul, and their own destiny."</b></p>
<p><b>"Should you wish to remain in this city, build your own residence, and even take on a role of local leadership, there is no requirement that any of you join the Council of Colors. Should you wish to do so, however, Jiator, John and I will be happy to hear such petitions now, or over the next few weeks."</b></p>

<p>Jiator and his party return to the city two days after the arrival of the Drow. Hungry Doom and the Mouthers peel off first; Jiator explains that the shoggoth has claimed ownership of the nearby river, and plans to sustain itself by eating anything it finds not wearing a sigil of Escarra. Supposedly, the Gibbering Mouthers plan to assist it as some sort of border patrol, but the actual words and shouts involved in this conversation are very hard to separate from gibberish.</p>
<p>Next, the party passes the three lyre-zombies overseeing construction of a small mine overlooking the city. Jiator acknowledges the work, and sends the skeletons and zombies off to tunnel—or, at least, to sit in the tunnels until appropriate mining gear is supplied. <b>"There are no mindless dead in Escarra,"</b> he explains, <b>"Unless Black John has already explained that to you, which I suppose he must have."</b> And then, seeing the ruined state of the city, he laughs and shakes his head.</p>

<p><b>"That is... not a bad plan,"</b> Jiator responds, and ponders for a few minutes. Eventually, he presses two small diamonds into the eye sockets of an itinerant zombie, scrawls a message on its back in some sort of magically-conjured ink.

<p>While Anaxian busies himself with gathering bodies, another concern is raised. Under the Mayor's guidance, the reconstruction of Voshgurvaghol was carried out primarily through undead labor; but with every Necromancer in the city slain, the skeletal workforce has become more of a liability than help. The new Overseer is not especially concerned; he is happy to see the ancient othagu capital returned to the rightful order of things, with proper slave labor guided by aboleths, under the tutelage of whatever veiled masters might wander by, but ultimately controlled by a single omnipath. Nevertheless, when he suggests shredding the city's skeletons where they stand, Master Jiator instead offers in tones of generosity to take the skeletons with him as the party leaves. <b>"No simple, weak skeleton could survive for long the magical auras of Escarra,"</b> he explains, <b>"But we had quarries once, in the surrounding caves—Sir John's idea—where we left them to mine stone and ore, transported by song and canal. This may be enough of a workforce to reopen one of those old quarries, if the ruins still stand."</b></p>
<p>Hungry Doom presents another problem. The Shoggoth, Jiator explains, was captured in the depths of the Sightless Sea by the Master of Souls, and dragged up to Voshgurvaghol from the Darklands through a wandering sunken waterspout called the Braid. But Hungry Doom has devoured several aboleths today, and their smell will cling to him for months—and while it does, both the Shoggoths of his home and the Deep Aboleths who hunt in the seas above it will mark him as an enemy, fit to be destroyed. Instead, Jiator has offered to feed the Shoggoth and its Mouther companions as many of today's corpses as they wish, in order to enlist the ancient ooze's aid as a guide; following Hungry Doom, Jiator and his horde should be able to safely swim up into the Braid, riding upwards to Lake Nithran, whose shores lie a mere five hundred mile trek from Escarra.</p>
<p>In fact, Jiator explains, one of the tributary rivers of Nithran flows less than two hundred miles of Escarra; and if Hungry Doom is amenable, the Shoggoth's aid could be helpful in re-dredging the great canal that once fed the city's trade and gardens. But that will be a discussion for later.</p>Alright, let's move forward. Take your time leveling up—we shouldn't see combat for a bit.

The +30 to Perception was from the Eternal Potion discovery; I mostly wanted him to be someone really good at seeing things from far away. I can probably toss it or reflavor some of the perception bonuses into only for seeing things at a distance, not telling who's disguised, etc. (Though we're high enough level for half the party to have true seeing, which is why Lord Rook took precautions against it).</p>
<p>One of the problems with a game at this level is—25, with mythic and gestalt, we're basically gods. Minor gods, sure, but the same things that threaten or stymy a normal party aren't going to apply, and scenarios are bound to play out differently.</p>
<p>...Lord Rook doesn't even have the highest knowledge. But knowledge checks only have the ability to cover things you can conceivably learn. Yeah, with time, he can probably find a bit of info on every rich/powerful/important game-player in all of Golarion (as can, say, a Legend Lore spell from a 10th-level bard, which anyone at this point can trivially hire), but if you name some random peasant in Varisia, he'll never be able to find that guy's family tree.</p>
<p>Basically, everyone: assume diminishing returns on skills. I was using the D20 epic level guide as a guide for this—a Perception check of 80, for instance, can overcome a failed will save against a mundane illusion spell, and a Perception check of 60 lets you detect the presence of magic (but not it's aura). With an Acrobatics check of DC 90, you can balance on water in a magic-free zone, while Acrobatics DC 120 is the poor man's Cloud Walk—but other than that, there's not much difference between 30 and 130 Acrobatics.</p>Fair enough.

DT can definitely do more damage, and more importantly has awesome status feats that shut down everyone—Janus is just there to hit him with four cool alchemist buffs per turn (his familiar is basically a buff syringe full of extracts he can deliver on touch). And I don't plan to actually send him anywhere dangerous, just leave him behind in cities, and possibly not fight at all. If there are problems, I can certainly change things. However, I will answer some questions, as they apply generally—
<p>6) Re-read the Automatic Bonus Progression section. At the end it says "In this system, adding bonus-equivalent special abilities to items costs significantly less because you are paying only for the special ability, not for a base enhancement bonus (see the table below)." The table below prices +4 of abilities at 32k. The flame tongue case <i>does not</i> apply because it's a •specific• magic weapon which uses an entirely different pricing system.</p>
<p>7) Redo the math. It's 4+3+1+1 legendary weapon gifts, which are listed on the character under "automatic bonus progression." Doctor Janus also has spent 6 points on legendary double weapon.</p>
<p>10) Launching Crossbows are a full-round action to load, not fire. They fire like any other weapon, and RAW can be used with Crossbow Mastery. If you don't like this, I can ditch them and have him throw bombs by hand; this just drops his healing range from 600' to 100' and means he has a bunch of spare legendary gifts I can't spend on anything.</p>
<p>Fast Bombs also specifically says you can throw as many bombs as you can make attacks, which means he'd get 9 healing bombs/round regardless of whether he was using crossbows or not.</p>
<p>When I get around to revising all of these, I can replace Dazzling Display/Gun Twirling to get Extra Arms. No worries.</p>Kryzbyn wrote:Is this how it's going to be? Getting out classed by a cheesed to hell cohort?

Sorry that wasn't more obvious, and that answers 9) as well.</p>
<p>2) I... didn't really bother writing out abilities as much as I should have, because he's a cohort. Immortality comes from the listed grand discovery "Eternal Youth," which is the equivalent of the Wizard's immortality.</p>
<p>3) Grand Mutagen discovery gives a +6 to Natural Armor (I misread it, that's my bad). It also lasts for 20 hours a day, so except when he's asleep it's always active (and with Vest of Beneficial Mutation there's no downside).</p>
<p>4) Natural Armor Enhancement comes from ABP, same as an Amulet of Natural Armor (which it doesn't stack with, or barkskin, etc, but it does stack with regular Natural Armor like the Alchemist's mutagen or the Druid's wild shape)</p>
<p>5) +5 Dodge comes from Gunslinger's Nimble. I probably should have listed that somewhere. >_<</p>
<p>6) Weapons are priced assuming they were covered by ABP; I was waiting to see if that's the case or not for cohorts before recalculating. And yes, this is the correct calculation for ABP cost: A +5 Speed Distance Limning Launching Crossbow, for instance, is an effective +9 weapon, but we subtract the +5 enhancement to gain +4 of special abilities, which cost 32k (see the table at the very bottom of the ABP section; see the example pricing of a +2 keen scimitar. Specific weapon abilities are priced DIFFERENTLY than generic magic properties).</p>
<p>7) Legendary Twin Weapons x3 means he's got all four weapons attuned. They are a +5 Speed Distance Limning Launching Crossbow, a +5 Speed Distance Light Crossbow, +5 Distance Launching Crossbow, and +5 Distance Light Crossbow. No armor attuned, since he's a monk, it's just a flat armor bonus.</p>
<p>8) Dual here was supposed to mean "dual wielding with another similar weapon"</p>
<p>9) He didn't receive the letter, but he's in constant telepathic communication with his master and 8 other people; I posted as him receiving notification from the guy who got the letter.</p>
<p>10) Launching Crossbows are in the crossbow weapon group, thus benefit from Crossbow Mastery and can be reloaded as a free action; with Inexplicable Reload, this time is further reduced to not require an action at all. They just sort of automatically reload. It's weird, which is why I took Gun Twirling as well (common consensus appears to be it applies to crossbows for a Bolt Ace), but both should let him reload crossbows while dual-wielding (If you want to GM rule against this, that's fine, I'd just replace Dazzling Display/Gun Twirling with two Extra Arms through the discovery feat, although that feels kind of inelegant). After that, Fast Bombs allows him to make as many bombs as he can fire, hence the 9 attacks per round.</p>1) Yeah, he's my cohort. Sorry that wasn't more obvious, and that answers 9) as well.

<p>-Can AoE heal up to 400 damage per character in a single round, FROM 600 FEET AWAY
<br />
-Bombs (or regular splash weapons like alchemist's fire) negate invisibility/concealment for all allies for a round
<br />

-Bombs (or regular splash weapons like alchemist's fire) negate invisibility/concealment for all allies for a round

<p>If you want to throw a few extra feats into it (or we get extra feats with gifts), consider getting both + Critical Mastery and maybe Stunning Critical.</p>
<p>Staggering Critical means every time you score a critical hit, an enemy is •guaranteed• staggered for at least one round even if they save (plus one round on additional saves). With TWF+Haste, you're critting at least once almost every round, and thus whoever you're fight is incapable of making full attacks to retaliate (and when added to dazing assault against standard mooks, there's multiple save-or-suck effects piled on). Casters can't 5' step out of your reach and teleport either, because staggered.</p>
<p>Blinding Critical, on the other hand, is just murderous when it succeeds, but doesn't have as good an effect if they make the save (Staggering or its upgrade, Stunning Critical, work well even against enemies that can always make a DC 33 fort save).</p>
<p>Basically, either of those feats mean the only things that can retaliate against you are undead, constructs, oozes and the tarrasque—they're pretty much the best two "assassin feats" I can think of</p>I'm still not a fan of Psionic Critical (with your crit rate, it increases damage by an average of less than 1 point per hit).

<p>She points out to Anaxian that the spell will only be powerful enough to carry a single large creature, and he should pick his favorite skeleton; if the rest remain behind, they might prove useful should more Erinyes attack the ruins. Currently, your home base is nothing more than the large foundation stones and wall slabs of a ruined city, with some strategically buried treasure and bones, though presumably a Drow caravan laden with steel and lumber will arrive in 3-4 weeks' time. Malefeasance is nowhere to be found, having been apparently whisked back to hell by a Phistophilus devil after the battle of Lavosha; Iranaset is presumably still murdering her way through an entire forest of vegepygmies for the fun of it.</p>
<p>The spell, according to scries, should take you to an isolated stone beach in the Sodden Lands, about one days' walk Northeast of Port Peril, where you should be able to find a pirate shaman specializing in shipwrecks.</p>
<p>Port Peril is a rather rowdy city, and Illia-'s usual disguise is the only one likely to stick out; the corsairs of the Shackles have little love for the Chelish Navy and by extension all devilkind, while Inevitables are also not known for their fondness towards piracy. Most of the local Elves belong to savage and remote Mwangi tribes, with Drisquar and Meredian likely passing as standard Elves to the average townsperson; Sir John's armor is likely to pass as a daring fashion statement. Anaxian might turn heads in his large dragon form, but could probably pass for an unusual pet.</p>
<p>Once in Port Peril, it should cost only around 100 gp to buy a coracle and a scroll of Call Animal; this should let the party row out to sea far enough to catch and murder a mid-sized whale, an encounter simple enough that I don't think it needs rolling.</p>

<p>3. A way to overcome DR/good. This is VITAL; without it, we won't be able to damage the thing, and it'll pick us off like appetizers (and we need to achieve 1 to KNOW about it). There are a few ways to go about this:</p>
<p>-3A. A scroll (or three) of bless weapon and someone with the UMD high enough to use it.</p>
<p>-3B. A scroll of Align Weapon, and an inquisitor to cast it (alternately, I can cast it from a scroll as a warpriest, though it'll burn a whole round of combat and my god will be pissed with me)</p>
<p>-3C. A +1 Fiend-bane arrow. These are 360 gp a pop, and I'd probably need, like, 10 of them to kill the thing, so maybe not ideal.</p>
<p>With grit, I can attack 3x/round, and roughly 1/2 of those attacks should hit; with Align Weapon, they pierce its DR completely.

If the rest of the party throws down spells and smack downs to keep the thing from charging me or fleeing, I might be able to DPS it to death (possibly aided by damage melee or spells)</p>-Not sure what to do with the bar

<p>Harron—do you want to follow whatever plans you might have to bring yourself back to life? Otherwise, we could probably hit you with some sort of Raise Dead/Reincarnate, which would bring Harron back to life as a •living• person again, and the inconvenience of life is the sort of thing Runcible would see as an appropriate check on Harron's dark ambitions. (And Runcible would be alright bringing you back—evil or not, Harron is capable of magic/science that nobody else in the kingdom can pull off, and that's valuable).</p>
<p>If Lucielle decides to dub Runcible with the power of Emperorness, that's his plan to bring y'all back (though, Verix: Reincarnate, if it's the only option, does turn you into a random race, which is entertaining). Leaving Runcible temporarily unable to walk, with a magical/clockwork wheelchair to carry him around as Emperor, could also be entertaining, and potentially a check/balance against whatever power being the Emperor confers, forcing him to rely on the aid of more mobile generals like Sir Rosenkreuz and now Lucielle and a humbled Verix/Harron.</p>Huh... so I could've hit ol' Emp'ry on less than a 20 (though at one attack vs. six attacks, probably not worth it)

There's a new feat called Steadfast Personality that uses Cha instead of Wisdom for Will saves (and anyone can take it), and another one (Stoic, from a splatbook not on the PRD, and a local feat not for a region he's from) which uses Cha instead of Con for Fort saves. I might have an interest in shuffling some of that around...</p>
<p>-Sacred Huntmaster changed such that I now need to either get rid of my companion (i.e. turn it into a normal lion), get rid of Betraying Blow (use bluff to add to damage each round), or swap the Tactics inquisition out for Chivalry (lose the ability to grant +7 to everyone's initiative). Not sure yet which is the most suitable for the character, but I'll think about it.</p>So: ACG errata 2 just came out, and a lot of things changed.

<p>Kwale is extremely arcane (full caster + half-caster), although he specializes in battlefield debuffs and control, as Mad Magic + Bloodrage gives his spells some massively high DCs. Once he hits Tier 2, he'll be able to use his hexes with Amazing Initiative, which will let him combine some excellent buffs/debuffs with continued spellcasting or attacking. As a witch/bloodrager, he adds some new spell lists to the party's repertoire, including some extra healing/skill buffs.</p>
<p>As a Dual-Path Guardian and a full BAB attacker with Combat Reflexes, he provides a reasonable amount of "reach weapon shield" to defend the party. Arcane Bloodline gives some neat tricks, like the ability to spider climb whenever raging at level 4, and should provide enough bonus combat feats to let him focus on spell-boosting ones. Also, he's pretty darn tough.</p>
<p>He only gets 8 skill points per level, which isn't amazing, but it's enough to pull off good pretty Disable, Intimidate, and a handful of the other most important skills (picking up more knowledge and whatnot at later levels).</p>Alright, this is thunderbeard—finished building my character.

<p>2. Any chance we can get more description of world "attunement," following up Hotaru's question? "As for attuning to worlds, you are only attuned to ONE world, usually the first world that you enter after walking the Grand Staircase. If you are a Master of Wrighting, you may create as many worlds as you want, but you are always attuned to only one world. The process of changing said attunement is a long process and tailored to the individual and world involved."</p>
<p>...but are attuned worlds accidental, or would Gossamer Lords choose an intentional attunement (or either, depending on their knowledge)? Does the Gossamer Lord influence the character of the world (as a sort of protector/guardian/demigod), or vice-versa? Is the world itself a reflection of them, that they are somehow responsible for creating or maintaining?</p>
<p>3. Should our characters have cool nicknames/titles beyond just their names? Do the Gossamer Lords tend to put a lot of stock into titles?

<p>Meanwhile, the suggested (but optional) ruling in Kingmaker says that a Lyre of Building can produce up to 4 BP of building-creation per month. Assuming it's played by someone competent but not focused on performance, this corresponds to roughly 4,000 gp of construction per hour or so of strumming, including the music necessary to quarry the stone or cut the lumber or whatnot.</p>You don't need a fort save after 30 minutes. But you can only hustle for up to an hour a day without making checks to avoid becoming fatigued, and I'd say constantly strumming an instrument is on the same scale (have you ever tried to play guitar for two hours straight? It's not that bad, but 12 hours would be much tougher).

Followers are generally contacts and agents who will work to help you, but might not literally follow you around (though it's a great way to manage, say, a ship's crew). Keep the captain title if you expect to be and remain a captain of something, Sir if you'd prefer to be a knightly agent over one in an organized position of power.</p>
<p>Quickdraw shield can be stowed for free as long as you're drawing another weapon.</p>
<p>@Opilio: Your challenge, I believe, only gives us that bonus if you're threatening the target. Then again, in another level or two you could get Improved Snap Shot and threaten everyone with your guns.</p>Well, in the extended description of leadership it specifically recommends that followers shouldn't be participating in combat.

Lookout is quite good—but only really useful when granted by someone with high initiative. If you trip a lot, the best feat to grant is probably Paired Opportunists.</p>
<p>I've got decent out-of-combat healing (4d6 channel, 6/day), but I'm not a dedicated healer any more than an average paladin. However, I've always thought followers could only be NPC classes, and I'd recommend keeping them out of most combats.</p>
<p>There's some arguments out there that a Silvanshee improved familiar on an arcane spellcaster could lay on hands pretty well, but our best bet will probably be winning fights fast with high defenses and then cleaning up afterwards.</p>
<p>@Lexarius: If you're invested in both tripping and defense, getting Quick Draw and a Quickdraw Shield could let you switch between offensive and defensive styles in the middle of combat. If you're going to be riding your cohort into battle, a Lance can be wielded one-handed or two-handed, and with the right shield you can switch between those modes quickly.</p>Oh, right.

<p>And how exactly are you granting your teamwork feats constantly, without using Tactician? I wonder if that's something I can get once I get Coordinated Charge next level.</p>
<p>I've never actually gotten a chance to use a capstone, hmm. Opilio: your banner bonus doesn't stack with mine (and mine is a bit better because I've been dumping favored class into it), but I guess it never hurts to have a second banner if the party gets split.</p>
<p>@Lexarius: cavaliers can grant teamwork feats as a move action, or a swift action at level 9 (so I take a move action now, but at next level I will join Opilio in granting them swiftly). It's still only one per turn, and Challenge is also a swift action, so having multiple people granting them is pretty cool. Mine focus on boosting either defense or mounted combat, and if yours boost flanking that gives cool synergy.</p>And I'm just messing up all over the place, posting with the wrong alias.

<p>Oh, and P.S.: To anyone who gives constant passive party buffs (since there are so many of us), I encourage you to list them in a statbar spoiler so other players can look them up when making attacks/saves</p>
<p>Lexarius: Combat Expertise is actually a really good feat, though. Also, if you take two levels of Lore Warden Fighter, you get it for free on top of a bunch of great class skills and the two normal fighter feats, which you could use for something like mounted combat.</p>
<p>Also, I can already grant Shake It Off, and at level 13 I'll be able to get two more, one of which will be the awe-inspiring Coordinated Charge. So I guess don't take Coordinated Charge or Shake it Off, but Outflank would be a good option, and I believe there's one that helps ranged attackers as well.</p>Noooo I posted in gameplay by mistake, and now it's too late to edit. :'(

Cavalier (Beast Rider) 8 / Cleric 3 (Devout Pilgrim) / Fighter 1 (Dragoon)</p>
<p>Role:
<br />
-Melee striker and defender, bringing decent back-up healing, social skills, and a ton of passive party buffs
<br />
-Like a paladin, but more fun (and as a Cleric of Cayden, can Create Ale at will!)</p>
<p>Perks:
<br />
-Grants bonuses to attacks, saves, freedom of movement, telepathy, and at level 13 will allow allies to take a ton of bonus charge actions
<br />
-Single-target striker (like any cavalier, can do single hits large enough to punch through any DR)
<br />
-With massive saves, reach weapon, stand still, and high-armor pet, can effectively wall off enemies for battlefield control
<br />
-A few decent cleric buffs, with excellent out-of-combat healing (channels like a level 8 cleric)
<br />
-Can bluff, persuade, magically alter his appearance, and <b>construct buildings with the power of guitar solos</b>
<br />
-Must spend an hour every day in merriment or he gets morale bonuses and disappoints his god</p>

<p><b>”Let’s get down to business,”</b> she says. <b>”The matter with the High Priest was a small but urgent task that needed to be dealt with, and it was good to see that you had no trouble with it. But it’s not the job I had in mind when I gathered you all.”</b></p>
<p><b>”That task,”</b> she continues, <b>”Is one that you should feel free to spend months on, and you may need to. You may wish to spend time crafting or buying things before you depart, and that is fine.”</b></p>
<p><b>"To put it simply, there are several objects and people I need gathered. One or two may reside on the surface world, but I suspect that the rest have been scattered somewhere within the depths of the Darklands.”</b></p>
<p>And, finally, the task at hand. “<b> The first, I have located. It is a skull, possibly decorated with metal or gemstones. You will, without a doubt, know it when you see it.”</b></p>
<p><b> "The skull has found its way into the hands of a collector of such things, by the name of Lady Mencara, the petty ruler of a petty drow city called Lavosha. It's not one of the major drow settlements that you'll find on a basic map. Her realm is little more than a single well-defended fortress town with a few outlying villages and farms full of serfs and thralls. With the right cover story, you could probably walk right into the town unmolested, maybe even do a bit of shopping or gambling."</b></p>
<p><b> “Eventually, you’ll want to find your way to the palace. Lady Mencara is fond of hedge mazes, menageries, and dragons, but her greatest passion is the dungeons beneath her palace. These are, I suspect, warded against teleportation and the like. Mencara's dungeon is a prison, torture chamber, menagerie, underground garden, and on its lowest levels a vault for her impressive collection of magical relics.” </b></p>
<p><b> “Feel free to loot the place blind, and inflict as much harm on the princess as you like. But there will probably be guards and wards stationed throughout his palace and dungeon, and it might be best to not let on to them that you’re planning on robbing him, unless you have a way to keep the guards from following you—we are talking about an actual drow army here, albeit a small one.” </b></p>
<p><b> “I can teach you a simple cantrip that will tell you the general direction to the skull when it’s nearby. When you find it, IT IS IMPERATIVE that you do not touch it. Do not allow the skull to come into direct contact with any magic items or the skin of any creature, living or undead.” </b></p>
<p><b> “Should an unforeseen circumstance cause the skull to become… <i>agitated</i> in some way, just shout the phrase (indecipherable) at it loudly until it stops, and you should survive.”</b></p>

<p><b>”These ruins sit near a spiraling tunnel, remembered by few. With a little rubble cleared, you will find easy passage to the surface world, on the edge of a small nation called Katapesh.

<p>She waves her fingers in a short gesture, and a map falls to the ground in front of her. It depicts the location of the tunnel entrance, the town of Solku, several mountain patrol forts and one large gnoll camp.</p>
<p><b>”Central to the town of Solku is the Lambent Citadel, which these days serves as little more than a barracks and training ground for paladins of Sarenrae.

<p>She pauses for emphasis here. <b>”And I mean really, properly killed. Burn the body, or bring me his soul in a soul gem, something to keep him from just being Resurrected.”</b></p>
<p><b>”It might not be easy—I do not recommend simply walking into town in broad daylight and fighting your way through the entire defense force.
