Ocean Domain:
You have the ability to breathe water as if under the effect of a water breathing spell, for up to 1 minute per level. This effect occurs automatically as soon as it applies, lasts until it runs out or is no longer needed, and can operate multiple times per day (up to the total daily time limit)

Protection Devotion:
Once per day as an immediate action, you can activate a protective aura. While it is active, you gain a +2 sacred (if your deity is good or neutral) or profane (if your deity is evil) bonus to AC, as does every ally within 30 feet of you. This bonus increases by 1 for every four character levels you possess (maximum +7 at 20th level). This effect lasts for 1 minute.
Use Turnings for more daily uses.



Equipped Magic Items:

First shot.
I think she'll be a decent counterspeller in battle, with the usual clerical skill to buff before it and heal afterwards.
Of course she'll mostly grow into that once she has some Dispel.
Gladly taking tips to improve.

Edit: Envoy of Balance has features that will greatly improve her counterspelling, even against more powerful foes.

What are you doiiiiing!!!
Seriously though, I love Dispelling builds, but a level 3 dispeller is a joke. Give her Divine Defiance at level 5 or 6 at the earliest, when she can actually use Dispel Magic. Improved Counterspells is nice, but it requires "a spell of the same school one or more levels higher than the target". This means that you're using 2 feats for the amazing power of counterspelling level 1 spells. :/
However, long-term Dispelling is awesome. I'm not sure what the PrC you want to put her into later is (my firewall blocks pfsrd which is apparently "untrustworthy and linked to past viruses"), but if you can I'd suggest dipping Wizard around level 9 (or somehow getting Magical Training), taking Alternate Spell Source before taking 1 level of Archmage (for "every spell Counterspelled is in fact returned to sender"). Doing this is feat-heavy (3 required to get into Archmage) but it's amazing in a build that Counterspells a lot. It basically makes your whole party immune to save-or-die spells, especially if you use advantages like the Inquisition Domain or Dispelling chord.

And if she's doing dangerous encounters, I strongly suggest that you get her Healing Devotion instead. It auto-activates when you go beneath 0 HP, after all.
And if she's meant to be a healer for Amrelath, consider Draconic Aura (Vigor).
Or how about a Persisted Lesser Vigor? DMM, Extra Turning, Extend Spell, Persist Spell. If you took Undead Domain (free Extra Turning) she could take Chain Spell, buy a nightstick, and cast a Persisted Chained Lesser Vigor over 4 people.
EDIT: Or she could use Domain Substitution every few days to get the Undeath Domain, if her God doesn't offer it.

That's actually a strategic action, but I didn't assign anything to the local action in Tyrosh beyond the generic "spy on locals".

Ah, so is that retconnable now, just for this task?
I'll fully admit to it not being of any great importance at the moment, but I'd like to throughly check this asshole of a god nonetheless.

Ask DP, though I would have added it if you had said something earlier.

As a general rule, Inquisition stuff is strategic.

Considering the changes to the economic value of silver, I don't really want to risk Abberation taint over this anymore.

Though they would be awesome research specimens.

No, the aberration taint was an experiment from another person who tried to convert aberration meat into silver because actual meat is as rare as the mineral in the PoE. Silver Bells are safe as long as we don't try to cheat the system with existential horrors.

Well, it was a project of mine before. Also I like all the things that petrify in some way. Like Stonesingers. I still want Xor to casually diplomace one at some point.

EDIT: Problem is that RAW using a SU ability is a Standard Action, so he can't use Hide in Plain Sight as part of a normal Hide/move action. Derp.
@TotallyNotEvil, maybe edit that to an (Ex) ability like the Dark Template?

Also, the Su is much better than the Ex version.

It just modified the hide skill, so no problems.

As for Waymar, I would really like to stick him into Abjurant Champion. It's not bad! He'd have to Wish himself Combat Casting (or retrain it) and he really should be learning Dispel Magic (or get a runestaff) but it would allow him to cast Abjurations as a swift action. Quickened Dispel? Quickened Resist spells? Quickened Shield? Sweet!
Otherwise of course there's Stormcasters from Stormwrack. He qualifies, but it has poor Bab (so he'd be losing 3 points of Bab in 5 levels...) but it has some nice stun effects attached to its spells. Maybe a variant with less spellcasting but full BAB?
And hilariously Waymar just about qualifies for Sacred Exorcist (he'd need a Runestaff and 2 skill points retrained). Sacred Exorcist is great: it gives Turn Undead, which can power Devotion feats Waymar could Wish himself in the dreamlands. It's also 3/4th bab :(

I'm pretty sure you have to actually know spells to qualify for PrCs that require them, and then you wouldn't be able to quicken a runestaff' spells through Abjurant champion.

Besides, he already knows a Dispel.

Abjurant Chamption is great for him, yes, but much like Tyene, continuing on his base class isn't a bad option at this point, Duskblade is a solid 20 level class.

Yep. We could have done it earlier, but now it's even easier with Viserys' gear enhanced caster level. All we need is for him to Blood Wish an Harmonic Chorus spell on himself before casting Greater Teleport to raise his caster level from 19 to 21. Or Lya could cast it on him.

I would still like to run them through the Fungus Forge first. Just in case.

Given that we already mulched metal-templated Devils and a calf from Irony, we might be able to unlock other metals and all the metal templates.

And I really want metal templates.

We will make a gold-templated donkey for the menagery. He will shit fools gold. And we will name him Tywin.

Edit: @egoo, add that we reforge Aedons VS sword into a nightpot called Bittersteel.

I refuse to be locked into getting their service. They are nothing but sacrifices that we'll dominate to make them tell us everything.

Irony needs to be adamantine-plated at some point. So all my yes into that research.

Just checked: Waymar actually already has Combat Casting. He therefore qualifies for Abjurant Champion already, and taking it is strictly superior to continuing Duskblade.
I just checked his spells known list, and I can't seem to see any Dispels? What did I miss?

As for Tyene, I absolutely am in favor of just continuing Mystic for 5 more levels. Would you support that?
I mostly just want to avoid making her a second awesome custom PrC, you see. And I fear that if none is proposed, it'll happen again.

Why use the Shadow Tower and potentially put magelings at risk on the off chance that something goes wrong? We've been using random caverns in the Plane of Earth just fine with no issue.

Let's... not do that, just for now.

We can spare a cultist or two for a teleport, and I'd rather not come into territories beyond the wall by overpowering the Wall's anchor. It feels like a bad idea.

@Azel, what's our shopping budget this turn? As a tentative plan when we get to the Opaline Vault I was hoping for two sets of Titan's Tools and three more Mind Blank items to finish equipping the party.
