A Sword Without a Hilt: A Song of Ice and Fire/D&D 3.5 Crossover

Reader mode
Regarding the spirits - getting them gear bodies now, and let them work on/earn better resurrection options sounds like a good compromise to me.

I like having it in writing whenever possible. :V

More seriously, I'm thinking when we get around to it we enchant hundreds, possibly thousands, of Dragonbane Arrows. We help our Erinyes go dragon hunting, and when we have the skies we turn our ire on the mages.

We also have the Dragonbane Cold Iron Shortspear from Mammon that could be put to use.

Unnecessarily wasteful and expensive. Viserys can now cast Magic Army so that it grants all allied weapons within range a +4 Enhancement bonus, if he wants to.

There aren't that many Dragons under Tiamat's command on Planetos, and they aren't that tough.

When we do find the ritually-empowered Tiamat Champion, I desperately want to throw Malarys at it. His class feature to force Wyrms into human form has fascinated me for ages.

His classfeature forces people in their true form.

For a mage turning into a dragon that's a problem.
For us it might be one, because we are both dragon and man and he might be able to switch us from one to the other.
But he can't change a born wyrm into a human shape, only the other way around.
 
@Azel Thoughts on sending Nuri with the Yi-Ti expedition? She has all the skills and abilities needed to be a great addition to the voyage and is dangerous far beyond what her HD would suggest.
 
@DragonParadox, can we keep the vote about the actual expedition composition open over night? I think we will need a bit to finagle with all the details.

[X] Make them gear bodies for now in exchange for their services. Keep them at arms length from research not related to themselves, government information and other vital areas.
 
We need to:

1) Decide which ships are going. Looks like that's worked out for the most part, with @Azel's shifting of the navy.
2) Decide which people are going. Kind of needs some re-prioritization given recent revelations.
3) Decide what kind of trade goods we're selling/quantities of money we're sinking into this.
4) Decide on strategic goals to take this turn. Are we negotiating with the Azure Emperor to dissuade them from working with Tiamat? Reaching out to the Hammer? Are we going full-covert? Which provinces are we going to put our first Outposts? How will we coordinate? (Braziers?)

Okay so grandma has made some moves in the East. Texts from Nefer and weapons too. That's interesting. We have a location now and a place to hit but no time. As for the Yi-ti mages I agree with Lya. We should convince them to take the gears deal and work towards true bodies.

We could also go the Amrelath way, and make a soulless body from the Fungus Forge to implant their souls in.

How would we even do it with them? The ritual requires the brain of the person being transferred, and the brain must have been dead for less than 8 hours, it don't seem like the kind of thing to work for reviving them.

@DragonParadox, here's a quick stat block for Selyse. Feel free to put it wherever!

@Duesal, did I forget any gear? I gave her an item of +1 Cha and +2 Int because we know that Garin likes giving her magic items, and he is very rich...

@TotallyNotEvil, please forgive me for this build. I succumbed to a dark, twisted urge: replace all her feats with Open Minded so she could have all the skills I wanted...
Whatever. She's a Lady, not an adventurer. Skills are where it's at! Indeed, if she ever does reach level 6 I would have her enter Unseen Seer, just to get Advanced Learning (Divine Insight) next level. No Mindbender on a social Beguiler is a crime, I know... But Divine Insight is so good skill-wise! And she can always hop into Mindbender later.
It's not like her stats will ever matter anyway.

By the original class, yes, but I'm suspecting that DP has modified that class feature to have it be able to force dragons from dragon form to human form. Otherwise, what was even the point of the Valyrians developing a weapon like this? Why even have this ability develop in the rebellion if all it does is keep the dragons in their most dangerous form?

Anklets of Translocation. Also she has that one Shadow Cloak that Garin gave her.

Why not Able Learner?

And do you truly need that many extra skills on someone that has the Beguiller list?
