We are going to burn out at this rate

Whenever i tried to make my character a workaholic my dm would normally start inducing penalties due to stress and overwork (like draining stats until my character did something to relax.)

Ha!

We are long past this point, man.

Viserys is mentally unstable, his whole being screams "workaholic".
And, well, compared to other variations of "Targaryen Madness", this is highly preferable.

REEEEEEEEEE

But of course, still, please make search of our lands with Commune With Nature a detailed one.
And specify Leylines "if possible", too, and you'll have my vote then.
We had a lot of great ideas about Leylines back in the day, and, well, better not miss a chance.

LonelyWolf999 said:
Viserys deserves to spend some time with his family.

Oh, it he spends aplenty.
Just off-screen, you know?

...I'm pretty sure that's the case.
He's a workaholic, but since Rhaella's inception into companions, his mo has changed a fair bit.

of drinking

yeah, you are right.
A month in which of interest to me are only minor actions is sure going to drive me to drinking >_<

I could also just have someone else like Malarys handle the fiends if you guys want. He is more or less free.

Doesn't Malarys lose XP each time? Viserys loses no XP for doing this

Let's not have poor Malarys waste his XP here when there's a superior option.

LonelyWolf999 said:
Can that be automated, or should I include that in my vote?

Please don't. The Malarys option burns XP, whereas Lya or Viserys doing it spends no XP.

Chill. The fiends can wait. We can finish up devil summoning at the beginning of next month and potentially hunt down the missing Valyrian Dragons.

Unless you ant to do something specific with that it can be automated.

Allowing oneself to burn out in years instead of centuries or millennia is the mark of a lesser king.

Oh right you need Arcane magic to do it for free. Malarys could travel to Volantis and enlist Zherys fiend binding.

Have Lya do it, and we're golden.

I'll add Maelor's dad as a target of priority for the next month's summoning, if Lya finishes up PM-based devils this month.

Zherys has Greater Planar Binding as one of his spells known?

Alright, Nevermind, it burns xp. It can just be handled next month.

No. That's defeating the whole point of this.

No just standard planar binding. You are not aiming for greater fiends here.

Goldfish · Jan 12, 2019

I would rather not involve Zherys in our Summoning practices.

OOC: It's not that Viserys has not had any free time this month, it's just that full free days are rare as hen's teeth, so finding out he has two of them was startling.

Viserys: "Lya, what is this?"

Lya: "It's a Calendar Viserys you know what-"

Viserys: "Not that, this!"

Lya: "An empty date box."

Viserys: "But it's today?"

Lya: "You do know that if you don't fill them in they don't magically fill in by themselves yes?"

Viserys: "They can stay empty? What circle of spell is this?"

Agreed. While it's nice to have the option, I'd rather keep this among the Companions.

wouldn't Viserys be able to roughly remember if he's still in that 17+ mile-radius of the previous cast, and orient based on landmarks?

If no, then fucking scrap that part altogether. Please.

Knowing that we might have missed something important would be worse than not having done that at all.

...Ah, I think I finally remembered what was first spot in trifecta of "things I ignore the existence of in this quest", now.

This spell. Then Aberi. Then Magical Ship-girl Princess Rhaella.

@Azel this is good for one day but we have two free. Perhaps append something about spending time with the various ~~children we've kidnapped~~ wards for the second day?

Duesal · Jan 12, 2019

@Goldfish, for the graduation kits of the cleric and the mystic, are we going to have their armor be steel or Mithral?

I would prefer Adamantine. They don't need Mithral to reduce any ASF chance, while Adamantine will give them DR 3/--.

Mystic:

Sorcerer's Deep Adventurer's Kit©
Ring of Protection from Evil
Healing Belt (+2 CON)
Headband of the Whisper Within (+2 WIS, +1 Charisma)
Earrings of Arcane Acuity
Anklets of Translocation
Ring of Sustenance
Handy Haversack
Wand of Cure Light Wounds
Amulet of Tears
+1 Reinforced Segmented Adamantine Fullplate
+1 Extreme Shield
+1 Razor Sharp Adamantine Thinblade
Total: 3,085 IM

Malarys could probably use a break as well. In fact, everyone could. I think the only people we track who don't get days off are Viserys, Lya and Sir Richard.

Viserys and Lya could spend another day together, but this time they could do something they really like to do; Viserys can teach Lya a new spell! That'll get her motor revving.

Avasculate would be nice.

@egoo we can do the leylines action next month. Along with all the PR we are going to do.

It would require us to fly around. A lot.

PR action is all but set up, with Viserys staying at SD (or wherever Azel wants him) and brainwashing everyone through his diplomacy and the power of mass-media.

@everyone, please don't bring up this spell ever again, or I might just spontaneously combust.
I sure will never do so myself :/

Nothing wrong with doing so. Plus it will be good for the subjects to see their dragon king fly around while finding resources in their kingdom. Although I still prefer it if we got item versions of the spell so that we can do a proper census of our kingdom and what resources it had.

Sample Mystic build and progression:
Mystic 1 - HP 8
STR 8 - DEX 12 - CON 10 - INT 14 - WIS 15 - CHA 13. Feats: Healing Devotion, Magical Training (cast as sorcerer, Prestidigitation, Message, Launch Item), Precocious Apprentice (Zone of Truth).
Flaw: Noncombatant

Non-human: No Diplomacy at level 1, then no Knowledge (arcana). Gain Flaw: Inattentive.
Skills: Max Concentration, Diplomacy, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (Religion), Spellcraft.

Special: Sun Domain: gain ability to turn undead as a Cleric.
Spells known: Detect Magic, Guidance, Create Water, Read Magic, Conviction, Resurgence

Advancement:
2nd: Learn Mending.
3rd: Enter Church Inquisitor Prestige class. Use extra skill points for Sense Motive and if non-human Diplomacy, otherwise Bluff. Gain the Inquisition domain (learn Detect Chaos, get +4 to Dispel). Learn Protection from Evil.
4th: +1 Wis. Get Heat Metal from Sun domain and Zone of Truth from Inquisition domain. Learn Substitute Domain and Purify Food and Drink. Retrain Practised Spellcaster into Expanded Arcana (Zone of Truth - to be able to Substitute away the Inquisition domain if needed).
5th: Learn Command, Divine Insight. Retrain Magical Training into Expanded Arcana (Enthrall).
6th: Take the Divine Defiance feat. Learn Dispel Magic and get Searing Light and Detect Thoughts from Domains). Retrain Expanded Arcana (Zone of Truth) into Expanded Arcana (Zone of Truth, Dark Way).

Combat gear: Reinforced Segmented Fullplate, Extreme Shield, Razor-Sharp Thinblade, two javelins, razorsharp dagger. Misc gear.

tl;dr: At level 1 they have decent healing through turn-fuelled Healing Devotion, and 1/day Zone of Truth. At level 4 they get excellent flexibility thanks to Substitute domain (which they can end whenever they want if they want their actual Domains back). At level 6 Divine Defiance makes them very useful in large land battles: they can spontaneously dispel enemy spells as a standard action!
They also have some social skills thank to Church Inquisitor and Divine Insight (so they could be decent as lawmen or Inquisition goons).
Sadly they have no save-or-die spells (that would require switching to the Dream domain to get sleep or something, which they can't do before level 4) but they can always just buff themselves and hit things in melee anyway.
Thanks to Healing Devotion which auto-activates when they fall to 0HP or less, they're our toughest magelings by far!

How about swapping Dexterity and Constitution?

And instead of learning Protection from Evil at 3rd level, what about something a bit more useful for the Mystic; Barbed Chains, Burning Disarm, Stone Shield, etc.
