You folks outside of the US probably haven't seen any of the Liberty Mutual insurance TV commercials featuring Limu the Emu. Needless to say, they're all quite awful.Holy shit i was just browsing through d20 advanced creatures and theres a fucking battle emu

If the commercials were about Limu the Battle Emu, however, they would probably be awesome.

@Deliste, as a citizen of the only country that lost a war to non-human forces, what do you wish to say to this?

Will Advanced Druid Lotus Leshi work well enough?
They compare horribly to anyone else we have in SD, but my understanding of the sheets is apparently abysmal - if they can provide good enough numbers, I think we can make near-infunite (in terms of "can use within the Scholarum system") amounts thanks to dead bodies.
Also, I didn't really like the idea of making more Philosopher's Trees before...
I've invested lots of emotion into that shite, it was basically the first thing I contributed to the thread, ye?
(Even if as an idea, to Azel).
But now, now that I generally cooled down to this place, I maybe can think more rationally 'bout things.
*infernally suffers internally for own shitshow when "let's not summon Outsiders" was brought up*
*generally hugely ashamed of many actions/interactions within this thread*
How many Trees we need?
One per Branch, ye?
Can do.
@Duesal, have you looked over what provinces yet need Healing Trees, or shall I get on it tomorrow?

If they can cast as level 5 Druids, then it does work mechanically.
Classes taught by Druid Leshy will mean that we will teach more Adepts than Hedge Mages, and more Druids than Wizards or Sorcerers. It won't change the total number of mageling much, but it will affect their distribution.
I'll let you decide whether that's a bad thing or not.
I'd prefer if we didn't fill an entire school with Druid Leshies though. Maybe add in some Arcane teachers, for variety?
Part MMMLXXIV: A Tangled Heritage
A Tangled Heritage
Thirtieth Day of the Tenth Month 293 AC
"Lord Edric, I shall be in touch. Remain strong and stand by your father just as you have done today. You do not need magic to look after your kin," you say, having made your decision. Better to watch and wait for the messenger, than to let haste shatter all you have achieved here.
"Thank you, my... Your Grace." This time it is not a mental stutter, but a rather deliberate correction, the better to mark his role in persuading his father to entertain the notion of swearing to you. One can hardly blame him for using those insights and enchantments while they last, you think, amused and genuinely approving all at once. "May fortune favor you in the face of whatever is to come," you add before breaking the thread of power between you.
After assuring your mother that Lady Mallery will have little cause to poison her husband when he comes back, though he might find the marriage bed cold, you make your way on to the next House you might consider gathering to your cause, the one that should prove either the easiest or the hardest depending on how they take royal displeasure and shaming.
***
The twin black porcupines of House Blount snap in the morning breeze almost as though they were fighting above the squat sandstone keep perched like some impossibly large toad upon the banks of the Blackwater Rush. What the castle lacks in architectural inspiration, however, the large bustling village makes up for in energy. They are fishermen here, selling their catch downstream to feed ever-hungry King's Landing, and from the looks of things at least, Ser Borros' spell-fulled disgrace and death had not harmed the local trade.
As had already become custom in such instances, you seek a tavern to learn more of the local lord from those most knowledgeable of the matter, his own subjects. It does not take many ales bought for the local gossips at all to get an earful, in truth you suspect they may have been waiting for a new audience to air their 'wares' in front of.
"I saw the Pimple today, ridin' round like 'e's a real lord," one man proclaimed between hearty swings of his ale. Turning to look at you he adds, "That's Petyr Blount, Daelna's get. 'E took over when the old lord died, of shame they say, over what 'appened with the queen and his brother. Bollocks to that, I say. 'Twas the gout that did him in... that or his sister, be enough to drive any man to the quiet grave, it would."
"This sister being Daelna, mother of the current lord?" you check. "Why didn't she inherit, then?"
"Twoundn't be seemly, woman inheriting before a man grown, if you'd call the pimple a man, or grown come to that. His mother rules him anyway," the talkative old fellow continues. "At least that's what old Yohn wrote down should happen after his death, and a raven came down from the Red Keep to keep to it."
"And was the succession contested?" your mother asks with good cause. The more complicated the line of succession, the more likely someone is going to contest it over the wishes of a dead man who cannot argue his point regardless.
"Oh aye, there's a bastard of Ser Boros who said 'e married his mother in front of a septon in secret before 'e joined the Kingsguard, but the septon's dead, too, ye see." Good-natured chortles in various states of inebriation fill the room. No one seems to be particularly offended at the implicit insult given their new lord.
"If they was goin' to hand it to a bastard, they might as well hand it to Janna Waters, Yohn's daughter. She's more a man than the Pimple," one wit calls. You mark another name, though the former lord's female bastard has hardly a hope of making a claim.
"I heard from up at the keep that Daelna has 'er working as a maid in her own father's keep now, if you can imagine it," another man adds, leading to a line of questioning about how he was 'hearing things at the keep'. He may or many not be sleeping with one of the servants, to judge from the tangled back and forth, though you do not pay it much heed.
A new lord of a disgraced house, whom not even his own subjects respect. It should be easy to secure his support, though if rumors are true you wonder if it might not be his mother you should be persuading.
What do you do?
[] Approach Petyr Blount
-[] Write in
[] Try to find that bastard of Ser Boros, it pays to have a second string to your bow in case the current lord should prove intransigent

Yes, it's a joke, specifically about over-communicative spirits who socialize with him. I should have included an emoticon.

We could make Wizard Leshies if we wanted to. And Cleric Leshies. We have the template.

Perhaps he won't tip off his parents but he will have supernatural insight into them which is likely to be awkward and it's already been established with Lord Velaryon that it can rattle your perception of yourself being magically better than you can ever be otherwise.
The update has dropped though so I'll just have to see, maybe the existential crisis gives him a half decent class.

Perfect!
I would suggest replacing the Leshies by PCs with more than 5 levels whenever possible, but a level 5 Wizard or Druid is far better than nothing. We can use Leshies for now and phase them out later whenever we get better teachers as people-loot.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lotus Leshies don't really work with any casting templates but Druid.
At least, stat-wise, not sure on casting levels, I checked that about 2 months ago, Its been a while.
I also failed to find anything we'd be able to summon to act as a teacher at least somewhat en-masse.
I'd like to have some more teachers of arcane, sure - but aside from fleshforging little comes to mind, and making something that won't be truly Valyrian levels of fucked in the head...
Research actions, for which we definitely don't have the time :/

Agreed. After we have sufficient teachers for one Scholarium we can move them to new Scholariums as they are being phased out of old ones. Because we will be building them for the foreseeable future. We need to place an order though. Maybe at the end of the month?

Perfect teacher needs:
1) Either 6 ranks of such Profession (pointless to try to look for, though, its setting-specific here), or 12 points of Diplomacy.
2) Caster Level of 5+
Having the first point acts as a modifier to what the teacher can do, and its weighty.
Not being Chaotic, or Devil/Demon/Daemon bound to assholes, is but sensible requirements too.
A normal (albeit almost painfully inefficient compared to others) teacher needs but, as Talon said above, ability to cast as level 5 caster.
G'night all.

@TalonofAnathrax don't Leshy's have 7 HD? Doesnt that mean they are incapable of casting 5th level spells?

Even if the mother doesn't rule in truth, I get the feeling she'd be the better one to approach, the one who is probably gritting her teeth at how far her house has fallen and the fact that she was implicitly passed over for Lordship when Petyr Blount is basically a laughing stock in his own fiefdom--it doesn't say good things when the Lord doesn't even respond the typical Westerosi way and quell the rumors and backchatter with a few violent examples, it implies they're spineless.
Ordinarily I would disdain someone who thought they could rule through fear but it's what I would have expected, not wanted.
[X] Approach Lady Blount rather than the Lord. You won't behave as though he's completely without two wits to rub together, but even if he was eager to sell his House to you, is that really the manner of oath you wish to take? Better a calculating and motivated hand at the helm than a Lord who can't even gain the respect of his own subjects.

No, it's to have a Dedicated Wright despite not having the necessary item creation feats to craft and use one for yourself the normal way.
