I was joking about Varys. I just think a passenger compartment might be helpful to transport people, or prisoners, should it prove necessary.
Done. Forgot to check the damage output.Damage is more than twice the average, and half again as high as a Mature Adult Red, which PF considers CR 15. Lose the two claw attacks and lower strenght by six, and it comes to a little over 100 average damage, so you are at about 1.5x average damage for CR 15. This also brings the attack bonus down a bit.
So it's top tier still, by crazy PF standards. In 3.5 I'd say it's CR 16-17.
I already slashed his BAB to 3.5 values, as PF told me he should get BAB +20. Toned down STR to 33 and added the additional fire damage, as that should mostly balance each other out with the lowered BAB.If it already hadn't a super strong melee, I'd say make Fire Aura give its attacks 1d6 fire damage, but that's not necessary in the least here, even if it's logical, and cool. You could give it this effect if you reduced the bites to 1.0x strenght instead of 1.5x. Assuming you tone strenght down to 30, you'd gain about 6.5 damage against non-fire immune foes and lose about 5 against those who only take half due the searing, which seems neat.
I'd maybe have everyone attacking it take 1d6 fire every time they hit it with natural or non-reach weapons, compensates for its lower HP.
Forgot his WIS bonus. Though there isn't terribly much stuff that targets Will-saves that could actually affect him in the first place.
Done.
Do you have a suggestion? I think +50% is the customary limit.
Do you mean for the breathweapon? As Inferno is 1/day anyway.
I only caclulated with 80.
And here we have something to sink them into. Going to lower some other stuff a bit.
Switched Pounce for Hover. Unless you have a good feat to take it's place?Also @Azel Pounce is a special attack, not a feat. You can lose Alertness for Hover instead of mucking about with Aerial Alacrity.
In general I'm not a fan of a passenger compartment. I'd rather just make a saddle or something.I was joking about Varys. I just think a passenger compartment might be helpful to transport people, or prisoners, should it prove necessary.
It would be really odd to have a passenger compartment in a construct that has "constantly leaking Searing fire" as a feature.It would be in the part not filled with Widfire...
Viserys' level up should be settled now. Here's the final tally from this morning before we started voting on other stuff.
Dragon's Roar clearly won.
So it'll be even more of a surprise when a squad of Inquisition heavy hitters hop out of the Harbinger to round up the lawbreakers!It would be really odd to have a passenger compartment in a construct that has "constantly leaking Searing fire" as a feature.
Yeah, can only reuse them after 3d4 rounds.
2 per HD, +2 INT, times 23 (as he has 20 HD).
Nono, seriously, STR 30 and the fire attack is already pushing very much, and the fire attack should only get in if the bites don't deal 1.5x STR.I already slashed his BAB to 3.5 values, as PF told me he should get BAB +20. Toned down STR to 33 and added the additional fire damage, as that should mostly balance each other out with the lowered BAB.
As he is Huge, it's at least 4,000 lb of VS or 80 HD of Fiends.@Azel, how many pounds of Valyrian Steel do we need for the Harbinger?
That seems very little for a Huge Dragon. That's less than an average pickup truck.As he is Huge, it's at least 4,000 lb of VS or 80 HD of Fiends.
We should be able to fill in the remainder with Adamantine, Mithral, Dreamstone, and Purified Living Brass.That seems very little for a Huge Dragon. That's less than an average pickup truck.
His BAB is pretty anemic for his CR. A CR 14 PF Adult Red has BAB +17 and STR 31. Even a CR 13 Iron Golem has BAB +18 with STR 32.Nono, seriously, STR 30 and the fire attack is already pushing very much, and the fire attack should only get in if the bites don't deal 1.5x STR.
15 BAB + 10 STR comes out to +25 attack bonus, which is plenty good.
I'd go with:
Melee 3 bite +25 (2d8+10 + 1d6), 2 wings +20(1d8+5 + 1d6), tail slap +20 (2d6+5 + 1d6)
Where 1d6 is searing fire damage.
To get his HP closer to the suggested value without adding even more HD. Most PF constructs have grossly higher HD at their CR then what the table suggests.You gave him +80 bonus HP from construct size... why? It should be +40. His DR is supposed to compensate for his low HP. His should be 155.
Well, I certainly could.I suppose you could up his HD to 24 or so, bringing his HP to 177, I believe. Would up the BAB by 3, bringing it to the sort-of-too-high +28 to hit.
Seriously though... please please please let us find a massive Valyrian Steel door or portcullis or something in Valyria. The Larder cannot keep up with the amount needed to make the Emissary and Bigger Fish and such. If Volantis gets to have an entire portcullis of Valyrian Steel, one can only hope that the more important places in the capital city itself like the various temples, important jails, and residences of the Forty Families will have doors of the stuff.
Aebys' tales speak of great spikes of dragon-steel driven into the stone beneath Valyria, piercing veils of molten stone to channel the power of the earth's fiery blood to the dragonlords' will.
On another note, do people think we should consider waking up Malarys' devil hating colleague from his nap and recruit him to our cause? Unlike before we have lots to offer in general and we could use a high level inquisitor doing stuff like that in background to further delegate matters
I wouldn't bring the Iron Golems, personally. They're a major hassle for transportation.Are there any specific preparations we need to make before setting out for Valyria?
Should we bring one of the Iron Golems? Maybe bottle the Seeker?
Anything else?
Argos doesn't have any available days for us to assign.@Goldfish should we bring Argus since he is our highest level minotaur and has natural ability to deal with any mazes we come across? Also would be nice to bring him along in general to interact with him.
Not sure we should bring Seeker unless there is a benefit from doing so, like he acts as a key to security systems or something but our bloodline is better than that.
Maybe bring Fury for ability to see through things in general and fly easily in environment since used to hell?
