@DragonParadox, so Anu has been sitting on a creation ritual for Warforged for a while now.

Can we give him enough Adamantine for, say, five or so new Warforged as a test run? As well as to serve as guides and mentors for the incoming influx of Warforged?

Sure, he would be more than happy with that

Edit: Oops did not notice you said adamantine. That's a RA

We need to do a separate RA to get Warforged out of anything but Living Brass.

[] Tinker further with Warforged and their creation.
-[] Artempt creating warforged from various materials, including but no limiting to: Mitrhil, Adamantine, Steel, Bronze, Cold Iron, etc.
-[] Have divination involved, so that no flawed or pain-inducing vessel is created inadvertedly.
--[] Steel/Bronze/Cold Iron (Progress: 10 6 when using Thinaun)
--[] Mithril (Progress: 14 10 when using Thinaun)
--[] Adamantine (Progress: 20 16 when using Thinaun)

Can we put in a bulk order?

5 Adamantine Warforged
1 Mithril Warforged
1 Cold Iron Warforged
1 Bronze Warforged
1 Steel Warforged

Sounds great. I don't want to break anything so I will run though the numbers tomorrow when my brain is better equipped to deal with numbers

I can handle the Manatrys mages and the Night's watch manually, they are few in number

Same with breaking the cap I can get back to rolling d100 and seeing what sticks, those are rare instances outside of the narative and always have been

Warning : you can test-run the "input numbers" which calculates new magelings awakenings just fine. But if you start copy-pasting the last few tables as indicated, you will be permanently erasing old data.
The problem was that I had to manually insert a bunch of old numbers from the previous system, and the tables run in a "take old numbers, change them THIS way" manner. So whenever you do the copy-pasting, you permanently lose whatever came before and it will always affect future uses (by changing the input data).

Basically, you pretty much can't test-run it entirely unless you use the "save edit/revert to save" function of Google Sheets. If you do, you should be able to test-run it just fine !

What? No. Just no.

@DragonParadox, we have the ritual.

Why do we have to research further? I understand research for the true mass production, but for singular warforged we should be set. We did all the work and research already.

Just noticed you said adamantine, you can't do that without a Research action

Sorry for the mix-up

Because different metals have different mystical properties. Otherwise where to I draw the line at production? The ritual takes hours. You could literally make thousands in a month

@DragonParadox, by your own writeup of the ritual, we already have the capability of using any metal for our Warforged in the singular rituals.

Sallosh's Last Gift

School: Transmutation Level 8

Casting Time: 80 minutes

Material Components: 25 lb. of Living Brass to form the core of the construct, 55 lb. of hardened steel (or other more arcane metal for bones and armor), various woods and resins totaling 150 IM for the peripheral internal structures

Blood Component: None

Required Caster: Mage with the Craft Construct feat

Secondary Casters: Up to three

Skill Checks: Craft Metal-working (DC 18) 4 successes; Knowledge Arcana (DC 22) 3 successes

Backlash: Caster becomes lightheaded as the ritual uses his own language skills to teach the newborn war-forged, the jumble of half glimpse memories means they must pass a DC 20 Concentration check to perform any task requiring intense focus over the next day. Casting Sallosh's last Gift a second time is except from this price as the ritual smoothly resonates with the lingering effect

Effect: The creation of a Warforged. All Warforged begin as level 1 fighters though unlike most other beings they find retraining this first level relatively simple.

Failure: The tortured spirits within the living brass resist the transformation damaging the caster's sanity (2d6 Wisdom Drain)

@DragonParadox Once the Creation Forge is completed, will completed Research Actions to make new types of Warforged be automatically available for it?

Tomcost · Jun 23, 2019

Hey, about minor actions, how about one to talk with Azirah, the Erinyes who was resurrected? I bet that her worldview has changed, and I want to know what did she do on those three day she took off duty.

No bonuses for working with fellow Phoenixes?

In that case I think we should assign a second person to doing it, I want it to be possible that it get done this month.

I want a second person on the Fire Whale action, but I have no idea who it should be, so unless I figure out who, I will just go with your plan.

Hmm, that is fair and after crunching the numbers he could only make 540 Warforged doing nothing but ritual casting 25/7 so OK trial run approved

No, the system is not really designed for a lot of circumstantial bonuses,the numbers used are quite low.

To be clear I never wanted to churn out Warforged day in and day out. That's a fantastic way to lose a valuable researcher. I just wanted a small trial run of around 10 or so Warforged so we can observe behavioral patterns and abilities and teach them to be mentors for all future Warforged since Anu will be far too busy.

We can start mass production with the actual mass production machine.

I don't want to pry.

I mean, I do want to know OOC, but I think Viserys shouldn't ask.

@DragonParadox, can Soft Strider help Velen with training Summoned Phoenix Fire Whale gem harvesters?

I know you did not intend that, but like with the flesh forge I have to think of extreme cases to keep the world consistent and the characters acting intelligently. If you guys could make thousands of Adamantine Warforged per month the forge becomes redundant.

...so, I shall remove that RA from the list, then?

This, @Tomcost. Very much this.

Also, @Duesal, I believe there was something about an MA from you last few pages, but I can't find it anymore..?

Unfortunately not, that takes administrative skill or knowledge of the planes she does not have. You guys can throw in Azema though,she would enjoy that.

You can always declare that when handcrafting Warforged, it takes extra time when using non-standard materials, so we don't need an extra research action, but it takes Anu x times more, to make an Adamantite Warforged, that's an change to the Warforged rules, I would find quite fair.

Look at it like this -- the ritual being cast over and over would completely remove Anu as a researcher, and we need him at work. It'd be actively detrimental if he tried to mass produce Warforged with this ritual instead of just working on that Warforged Machine.

egoo said:

Yes, we already have that available. A research action is redundant.

I'm not sure? I can't think of much beyond a few trees to grow.

Good solution, though given that the numbers are in the hundreds not the thousands even for unrealistic 24/7 I don't think it's necessary. No sense adding superfluous rules
