How many mages using Astral Projection have we met so far?
Zero.
You can try but that would be a very difficult project. Swords that can cut the very soul usually are.

"Because I have more important and frankly far more interesting things to worry about than a country which decided to implode for the ninth time this year. Or month. Hard to say with Westeros"
I want to get snarky with him because we have saved their asses more times than we could count. We could have let Rina tear the North apart, we could have let the Deep Ones consume the Iron Islands. Their small "Oh my brother got kidnapped by a Deep one" is potatoes compared to "There is at least 4 apocalypse coming down and we need to prepare".
I mean we can't guarantee that. The thread get mighty bloodthirsty. Chances are he will probably call Lya some choice words and we will kill him for it. Or he will let loose some threats and we will kill him for it. Or we will kill him because he said something stupid. Or because we felt like it. So promising we won't fight him is not a promise I want to make.

Excellent... @DragonParadox, can this be used to aid in Dark Sister's upgrade?

Temporary undeadifying.That's kind of strange...but whatever...
Viserys has plenty of other options; Amber Sarcophagus, Smoky Confinement, Temporal Stasis, Sacramental Seal, Imprisonment, Flesh to Stone, etc. Any one of those spells should render Maggie immune to life draining effects indefinitely.

Amounts of progress/cost for these, please?
25 for the first, 16 for the second (since you are building off Xor's existing power).
Not really you would have to make a weapon wholly out of the claw.

...Kinda makes that too situational for us to ever use. Or even make.
Oh well.
At least the eye is great

How about casting? How many levels of spells do you think he should have. Cause the complexity needs a bit of a trim.
Also you giving him maneuver like abilities? And a self targeted Heal SLA?
I'll probably toss unlimited agression honestly. It seems superfluous.
- Maneuver-like abilities and cleric casting at HD-2 sound fair
- The Heal SLA on the other hand feels a bit superfluous with the healing heavy cleric casting

I'm musing on making a construct for the Astral Sea and giving it these claws......Kinda makes that too situational for us to ever use. Or even make.

...The point of it being..?
No, really.
We don't have enemies there (apart from usual existential horrors and Lovecraftian shit), nor any targets that great.
This thing would be kinda useless, Imo.
As was pointed out, it wouldn't hurt all that many beings native to the plane, and finding a random traveller there?..
Yeah, fat chance of that.

What do directions in the Astral Sea look/sound/taste like?
Just to make something clear you do not have to make the weapon the size of the claw, you just have to make it out of the material, aregular sized sword or axe will work.

Natives of the plane shouldn't all be incorporeal—example being the dreadnaught itself—so the claws should do plenty against them.
As for why, we have enemies literally everywhere, in every plane. At minimum I'd keep this as a reserve resource.

Preliminary plan. Not too happy with it but I don't have time to refine it.
[X] "Just as the Cult of Tiamat and the Deep Ones have their own plots, so too do I. Where they wish to see the realm splintered and weakened, so as to make it a prize all the more easily taken at their leisure, I wish to preserve the strength of Westeros, to see it remain a united, cohesive whole.
-[X] "Make no mistake, and please do not take this for idle boasting, but if I wanted Westeros, I could rule the continent within a week and crush all meaningful opposition before the month is complete. To do this would dramatically weaken the fighting forces of Westeros, however, which I wish to avoid.
--[X] "The Faith of the Seven, at least some factions of it, seek to cripple Westeros by outlawing the practice of all but barest fraction of available magic. As you no doubt have seen, against some enemies the only recourse is the power wielded by mortal mages." Familiarize Baelor with those enemies he is not yet aware of.
---[X] "Westeros must remain whole and it's people strong, including those who would wield magic whether in the name of the Seven, the Old Gods, or no deity in particular, for there are worse trials and tribulations to come. My purpose in being here in Old Town during the Conclave is to prevent a harmful shift in the Faith's policies toward magic which will needlessly weaken humanity as a whole."

Well...
That then leaves the question of how many HD you think would be best @DragonParadox 13 is the median between Planetar and Trumpet Archon.
I hesitate because TNE recommended...
So I guess the question here is how... A planetar has more cleric casting than it does hit dice.
What?!?!
Regardless... I was thinking of erring towards 15 HD, but with WAY Les casting power than a planetar gets. Probably HD -3?
I honestly just think the extra health and BAB is what he needs most.

I'd rather keep it at HD-2 rather than intentionally knee-capping him here.

Agreed.
I'd rather get less/no maneuvers even, if that will have him casting at same/better HD.
