I'm pretty sure they don't want that. Preening nobles are preening nobles, no matter what blood flows in their veins.

And the flesh forging/enchanting process makes it self-repairing via something like mending?

That's for a full suit, including the padding worn beneath the chainmail itself and the gauntlets that come with it.
Reducing the Adamantine to 30 pounds wouldn't be amiss in this instance, because it won't have any of those unnecessary additions adding weight.

It's precisely because of those new magical organs that I think they'd need a special diet.
@DragonParadox ?
The "5" was not a typo, y'know.
I feel +7 NA is a tad too much for +2.

Chainmail also only covers to the knees.
It's a fair approximatio: sub dermal armor giving protection equivalent to Chainmail weights as much as Chainmail. Simple.

@DragonParadox, quick question.
Rather than tossing Varys to Yss right away, would we get a bonus to the subcutaneous armor mesh research and how to replicate it if we have Vee dissect him in the safety of Bloodraven's tree so Mammon can't get to his soul?
EDIT: Also, who installed that into Varys? Where can we find them?

it's what Varys had, tho'
Pretty sure it wasn't Adamantine either.

I don't think a special diet would be out of the question, but it just seems needlessly complicated. And easily circumvented with a Ring of Sustenance. After all, our Praetorians will not bow so easily to the weakness that is the requirement for sleep.
I do agree, however, that +5 Natural Armor is plenty, @Azel. I won't argue over +7, but it wouldn't hurt them much to lose it, either.

Adamantine doesn't give more AC, it gives DR.
And are you sure? I recall it being chainmail equivalent.

It was a breastplate, not chainmail.

Is the comma the typo or are you missing a zero? Big difference.
Sorry it's a little late for me to be dissecting the balance of NA adjustments. I'll look it over some more in the morning
- Vee already got it out of him

+2 NA comes from the Advanced Template and accounts for the flesh between the subdermal protection and the skin.

Wait. So if Vee already got the benefit, does this mean we've already got a head start on the research for replicating it?
EDIT: Also, we have a prime target among the Golden Company artificers.
Typo. His debt to the Iron Bank is less than a million marks with probably more to the Lannisters and the Faith.

I would rather keep the +7. If we had different grafts, we could easily go higher then that and / or get a ton of DR on top.
Alright, so not that bad.

Meeting with a Mockingbird
Fourteenth Day of the Eighth Month 293 AC
One virtue Petyr Baelish appears to possess amid his multitude of vices is an elegant sense of style. Slight and short with the pale complexion of one who spends far more time pouring over ledgers than walking in the sun, he could all too easily have been pushed into using brash colors or gaudy displays of wealth to compensate. Instead he had opted for a subdued blue doublet and over which you can see a single discrete silver talisman upon which lies a familiar enchantment, a ward for the mind. Looking closely you realize it is of Braavosi make, most likely to have simply been bought from one of the minor enchanters who call the city home. The curling dark hair and neatly trimmed goatee complete the portrait of a man who would not look out of place walking the corridors of the Iron Bank.
"Well met, magister," he greets you in excellent Low Valyrian spoken in the Braavosi manner. He gives brief smile that does not quite reach his cold green eyes. "I must admit you have the advantage over me... "
"Naegor," you say, giving a Valyrian name to match your glamour-shrouded features, though refusing to give either a family name or an occupation. The robes you had chosen to show hint at Volantis, but your words carry the faint echo of harsh Ghiscari consonants, the last legacy of the tongue of Old Ghis. Your bow is low and elaborate, unctuous without surrendering all control of the conversation.
To his credit Baelish does not preen at the show of respect, or if he does he gives no sign of it. "Surely such a man as you has more than one name to offer," he probes, a needle hidden behind silk, at least to your ears.
"Indeed I do, but there are times for men to be known by fewer names, places where the fulsome honors of rank get in the way of doing business." Like the brothel downstairs, the words hang between you unspoken.
"You must yet be new to fair King's Landing I see." A sardonic smile curls upon the lord's face. "Dealing in coin is seen as an unfortunate necessity here in Westeros, much like taking out the chamber pot."
"The more fools they, then. The world moves to the rolling of coins, more surely than the charge of armored knights or the waving of banners in the wind," you say with perfect honesty among the field of lies you are carefully sowing. "I assure you I was not sent here by chance."
"Sent?" Baelish asks, measuring out his words with great care, like a water dancer's opening flourish.
"I represent wealthy and influential interests in the east, who have grown concerned over the latest developments in the Disputed Lands, the Dragon, and his insatiable appetite for conquest."
Baelish drums his fingers on the table carelessly. "I had heard his dominion extends east of Volantis also, to Tolos and Mantarys. Is that not so?"
"Yes... yes of course, but that it of lesser import," you say as though flustered and not wishing to give away your 'true' patrons. You go on to explain that in the wake of the disastrous failure of Lys' attack you had been sent to attempt subtler means of containing 'the False Dragon's' conquests. "Alas the king is unlikely to be amenable to direct diplomatic relations..."
"Generally one must know where the envoy was sent from to be received at court," he notes dryly. "Otherwise the seating arrangements are a nightmare I am told."
The joke would have actually been worth an honest chuckle if it had been spoken by another. As is you put on the false smile of your borrowed guise and admit: "I have been sent from farther east than Volantis as you have guessed. More I cannot say..."
"What is your purpose here then, besides making me five hundred dragons richer that is?" Again the cold smile crosses his features, though this time it lights up his eyes also with a glint of greed.
"Why to make you much richer than that, and the king also. To make Westeros strong, the better to withstand the storm to come," you reply.
"And for this you offer..." He leans across the polished oak writing desk slightly in what you recognize as a calculated move.
"Information from the east more reliable than common rumor, advice that could pay great dividends," you reply simply. "It costs you nothing to listen."
"But it might cost me something to act upon it, eh?" he turns from you, looking out the window where the silhouette of the Red Keep is visible as a jagged shadow against he stares. "I am not a particularly brave man, for I have not found it profitable..." A shadow of true pain darkens his eyes for the merest instant. "Nor does the king expect it of me. So tell me then, why should I act against the Dragon in the Stepstones at the advice of your masters so very far away?"
What do you reply?

OOC: That was a rather hard sense motive check you passed there when he mentioned courage, the sort most people would not have had a prayer of passing.
I mean I know that being so poor and lowborn and inconsequential is how Baelish shields himself from an otherwise colorful history given that pedigree, but isn't it at least known, of all the noteworthy facts about Baelish, of which there aren't many, that he had a very public duel with Brandon Stark over Catelyn Tully's hand? All the more outrageous given it was Lord Paramount tier betrothal and he was the ward of one of the Lord Paramounts.
I'm pretty sure there should have been a circumstance bonus to our advantage in that roll.
I'm inclined to agree. I was just pointing out that I'm not in a position to argue the point this late
Speaking of the time good night guys see you tomorrow with more from the Baelish discussion and then a cat delivery.

I had already rolled knowledge nobility to see if Viserys knows about the duel. He does not.

Is that eight million, or 800,000?

We're going to need to bring up the new dangers of the Lannisters discovering Elia and Rhaenys (and possibly directing the Faith in angry mobs at the Evil Dragon defying the Seven and turning back death).
Either Dorne needs to seriously step up their protection, or Elia and Rhaenys need to come live with us in Sorcerer's Deep.

Well... hey. Either that means Baelish borrowed more money from Tywin (which we don't have to pay back automatically) or alternatively the Faith (which given their control over it at the moment isn't far from belief).
If it's more money from Tywin, that's ideal. We can eat the cost of the IB debt. As for the Faith, that will particularly depend upon certain... considerations being borne out... in our favor.
