Looks like the Scholarium Mind Dragon is missing from your list.

I can add it all when I get back to my computer.
 
With all the discounts Lya has for crafting elements, what is the cheapest she could go in creating a living thing?

I am mostly curious, as she does feel like a genius.
 
For the moonchasers and similar vessels do enchantments that are immobile fix themselves relative to the ship if they are integrated into it? I ask because Radiant Panels could be useful for ablative armor that doesn't require crew control. For the smaller ones twinned cubes of force might work, supposing we could make some that all have useful sides instead of stuff like a gas filter.

On the armament end, how do you guys feel about lacing our incendiary devices withPyre Salt? For 70 IM anyone or thing destroyed by the flames it's tossed into can only be magically restored if the caster makes a DC 20 CL check. It also doubles the damage that fire does for one round.

It only gives a minimum size fire for the effect, so we might be able to get some significant mileage out of each dose. If we could work it out a double damage SoD would be fun, but you can't activate it by casting on it, and SoD usually kills everyone who's going to bite it in one round.

It's use case would be sort of narrow, but making it more costly to recover from raids or decapitation strikes could be useful.

She can create living beings in the form of intelligent items and free-will Constructs, but she doesn't have the requisite feats or interests needed to create living beings wholesale. That's more Vee, Qyburn, and Elaheh's area of expertise.

Radiant Panels wouldn't really work for our purposes, IMO. Too expensive for too little effect, plus the mechanics of the item specifically say that moving them after activated causes the Force barrier to shatter.

Pyre Salt is new to me. It's an enchanted item, which is less than ideal, but it's a very cheap one. I've also been thinking about producing Incendiary Catalyst in large quantities to use in conjunction with Alchemist's Fire and Wildfire.

EDIT: @BronzeTongue, Add these to your goody page, please?
Incendiary Catalyst
Price 40 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Incendiary catalyst can be thrown at a creature as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet. On a hit, the target is doused with accelerants that give the target vulnerability to fire for 1 round. Incendiary catalyst does not affect creatures that are already vulnerable to fire, and the target's fire immunity and resistances apply as normal. Crafting this item requires a successful DC 20 Craft (alchemy) check.

Click to shrink...
@Azel, what do you think of Wildfire bombs that are doped with Incendiary Catalyst and Pyre Salted? They would be more expensive, but well worth the effect.

Although we still don't know the exact mechanical stats for our superior formulation of Wildfire, just using our standard Alchemist's Fire bombs as a base shows what we might be able to expect. Doubled damage plus the added effect of being made temporarily Vulnerable to Fire (+50% damage), isn't too shabby.
  • Alchemist's Fire:Depending on distance from the epicenter, creatures and objects may take additional damage from burning Alchemist's Fire or be ignited and continue to burn, suffering 1d6 Fire damage per round for at least three rounds unless extinguished. A target can use a Full Round Action to attempt to extinguish the flames before taking additional damage, which requires a separate DC 15 Reflex saving throw. Clothing, wooden structures (which automatically catch on fire), and other objects which are ignited may continue to burn long after the Alchemist's Fire is depleted.
    • Launcher Munition / Bomb #1 (10 pounds / 4.5 kg): 4d6 Fire damage to everything within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the target space and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire. Everything within the area between 5 (1.5 m) and 30 (9 m) feet of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or take half the fire damage, but they do not catch on fire.
    • Bomb #2 (20 pounds / 9 kg): 6d6 Fire damage to everything within 10 feet (3 m) of the target space and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire. Everything within the area between 10 (3 m) and 40 feet (12 m) of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or take half the fire damage, but they do not catch on fire.
    • Bomb #3 (40 pounds / 18 kg): 8d6 Fire damage to everything within 15 feet (4.5 m) of the target space and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire. Everything within the area between 15 (4.5 m) and 50 feet (15.25 m) of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or take half the fire damage, but they do not catch on fire.
    • Bomb #4 (80 pounds / 36 kg): 10d6 Fire damage to everything within 20 feet of the target space and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire. Everything within the area between 20 (6 m) and 60 feet (18.25 m) of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or take half the fire damage, but they do not catch on fire.

A #4 bomb could go from 10d6 damage to 20d6 * 1.5, for average of 105 Fire damage.

Well, we'd need a Metamagic Rod of Persist spell somehow... And finding + buying that risks being harder than just buying the scrolls in the first place.

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a Metamagic Rod of Persistent Spell, at least for the D&D 3.5 version of the feat rather than the very different PF version. And like you said, by the time this could all be arranged, Lya will have leveled and be able to make them herself or we'll have found somewhere to purchase them outright.

@Goldfish, @Azel, you two do take into consideration that we have Flame Clove growing in our Empire and could arguably add the effect freely to pretty much anything fire-based at this point?
Flame Clove
A favorite with travelers, flame clove is a garlic-like herb imbued with energy from the mental Plane of Fire.

Raw flame clove contains a mild but unpleasant poison (ingested; Fort DC 13 initial damage 1d6 fire, secondary damage 1 Dex). When boiled in salt water and crushed and blended into food, however, flame clove has a taste similar to garlic and keeps hot food hot for 1d4 days without drying out and with no outside heat source.

Adding a sprig of flame clove to alchemist's fire (which must be done when crafting the alchemist's fire originally) makes for a more potent batch. This enhanced alchemist's fire deals double the damage of normal alchemist's fire and burns for twice as long.

Flame clove is remarkably easy to grow and reaches maturity a mere five weeks after planting and remains viable for three weeks after that.

A single healthy mature bulb sells for 20 gp.

I'd argue that with it we could enhance Wildfire as well, if to a lesser degree.
 
Bit of a random idea, but it could turn out very good for us.

What if we had Melisandre figure out how to enhance Wildfyre with R'hllor's own wrath to deal even more damage against the Void?

Not the highest priority, but damn if I'm not having fun imagining it.

I keep forgetting about that stuff. If our cultivation has reached a useful level, I would be all for adding it to all of our Alchemist's Fire and Wildfire.

A #4 Alchemist's Fire bomb with Flame Clove, Pyre Salt, and Incendiary Catalyst could potentially inflict 30d6 * 1.5 damage, for 157 average.

I was surprised to see an enchanted consumable material like this too, it seems like it should be an alchemy thing. There are some other good ones though, like Sterling Salt. It'd be kinda hilarious to arm any devil casters we get with this stuff and send them after our various evil enemies.

A devil, upon dealing 'good' damage by eviscerating a daemon with blood wind: "This is a perversion of the natural order that even Hell didn't prepare me for... I love it "

Yeah alchemy is pretty bullshit for matters of scale, if you think about it. I mean it adds up to being pretty expensive, but not beyond the budget of a military industrial complex.

Whereas pretty much all enchanted equipment is disproportionately expensive in comparison to its raw utility. Absolute game changer for a small scale knife fight between minor demigods, but not going to win any wars on its own TBH.

Super Alchemical Bomblets teleported into enemy faces? Now you're getting tactical.

Carpet bombing enemy mooks with larger payloads? Now you're getting strategic.

Building production facilities to outproduce your enemies in an arms race? Now you're getting economical.
 
@Goldfish, special notes for the wildfire production facility.

You need to make all the equipment and possibly the walls and floors out of Valyrian Steel. To date it is the only material utterly impervious to Wildfyre.

And we will want much better than average security for this facility for obvious reasons.
 
Wyvern-Class Anti-Gravity Fighter

The body of the fighter is an ellipsoid measuring 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter and with a length of 20 feet (6 m). At the front sits a Hardened, conical Quartz cupola that contains the cockpit, thus allowing the pilot an unobstructed view of his surroundings. Folding out from the front of the fighter are two large, swept wings which do not generate lift, but are instead intended to aid in maneuvering. It has a wingspan of nearly 33 feet (10 m) with the wings increasing the full length of the fighter to 30 feet (9m). The wings can be folded close to the fighter's body, thus allowing it fit in a much smaller space than is immediately apparent, such as the cargo bay of a larger vessel.

Due to its Anti-Gravity propulsion system, the fighter can hover in a stationary position, though its single propulsion unit makes this a challenge. It's generally easier and safer to hover stably with decently strong winds, but otherwise a short runway for starts and landing is preferable. The independent control surfaces on each wing are controlled remotely by the pilot via a minor Telekinetic effect. Due to the exceptional thickness and durability of its armor, as well as it being able to form a perfect environmental seal, the fighter can operate in nearly any environment, including underwater or in outer space.

Manticore-Class Anti-Gravity Fighter-Bomber
The body of this craft is elongated and vaguely dagger-like with a length of 30 feet (9m), a width of 16 feet (5m) and a height of 8 feet (2.5m). The cockpit sits on the top of the vessel, about one-third of the length from the back. It furthermore has two more quartz cupolas in the front and back, each housing a turret. Unlike the Wyvern, this craft has no wings and instead uses a steam powered gyroscope system to stabilize itself, which also allows it to hover with nigh perfect stability and even lets it operate at ground level.

A Manticore is heavily armed, having two Launchers with Magazines of Holding in both the front and the back cupola and with two Steam Cannons as it's main armaments. Like the gyro stabilizer, these cannons draw water and heat from an integrated water supply system and an Everflame Boiler. To operate, the craft requires a crew of five people. The pilot, two gunners for the turrets and two loaders / engineers who operate the Steam Cannons. Lastly, the craft is equipped with multiple bomb bays and an internal Beetle Bomb rack.

    I'll hold off on that until @DragonParadox says it's necessary. Each facility is meant to be a large industrial scale work site, with proper precautions and equipment. For superior Wildfire, which I would expect to be less stupidly volatile than the common stuff when properly stored and handled, there shouldn't be any issue with using standard Alchemical production tools, which is going to involve a lot of Hardened glass. If Valyrian Steel is needed, I would expect it to be in storage vessels and vaults, not all of the walls, floors, etc.

    Click to shrink...
    TBH you would not go awry being more cautious than that, because sabotage is still a thing and it would be really bad PR to have anything bad happen related to wildfire, period. Emergency shutoffs via Anti-magic field and some dispel sprayers would be pretty good I think.

    Edit: IIRC to put out wildfire, you need to dispel it, and then snuff it out.
