I think your minittary budget has a enough troubles without it, plus fluff-wise you are using fungus and that is explicitly low maintenance.

I could see Crusader, once you get some martial lore from Yi Ti or just put Ser Richard on it.

Thanks for reminding me.
*rolls twice*
Dany, Tyene/Waymar and Garin are done
Richard 91%
Lya 73%
Maelor 89%

Question, would Richard need to make a separate action for us to get Crusaders, or would making a Martial Primer allow it to sort of percolate by itself without a full action from him?
OK here's Dany's book. I'll get to the others as I come up with the mechanics.

I would say the primmer is enough
Divine Permutations
Divine Permutations
By: Dany
Description: Copies of this book are bound in plain dark leather, heir only distinguishing mark being that the title is written in three tongues: sharp edged draconic glyphs shaped more to be carved into stone than writ upon parchment, the archaic calligraphy of High Valyrian and the more simplified style adopted in the centuries after the Doom in Braavos
Content: Serves as a primmer relating to religion and the Spheres of being. Additionally having studied it grants +4 competence bonus to sense motive or knwolege rolls made in response to a false or misleading statement of a cleric or other divine servitor related to the power or nature of their god, making it a useful tool for detecting those who would hide proscribed cults and rituals behind the trappings of recognized faiths

Talk about a lasting legacy. It's one thing to pass on some of your skills which few, if any, will ever be talented enough to make full use of.
This will go on to create unparalleled warriors gene engineered to bear the finest weapons and clad in the strongest armors.
And like him, they shall know no fear. Literally, have you seen their bonus against mind-affecting saving throws?

Ni~ice.
Can we assume to have this be Inquisitor's handbook in addition to guide on Daemonic cults we passed out to them all earlier?
This would certainly make investigations into Drunk God's faith easier.
Not to mention, how happy will this being widespread make Yss.
Down with the falsssse godssss!
Inquisitors will certainly be making use of this yes.

I think Viserys should pen a chapter or two of his 'The Prince' analogue that he has so often alluded to this month, during his musings of Corlys Waters and the nature of ruling and playacting.
Though come to think of it, would that even be appropriate for Viserys to write, even under a pen name? I think someone suggested Maelor should do it. That's a good idea, and Viserys can help with it. But while the nitty gritty of ruling is very little divorced at times from running and running with a street gang in squalid slums as compared to gilded palaces.
That makes it harder to think of something he would take time to write, except obscure lore pulled from the Dragon Dream (which could fill hundreds of volumes).
Actually, that seems the most worthwhile use of free time spent writing.

Please, no. I would prefer to have Viserys write the "ruling a gang or a kingdom" book. It's something he sincerely believes in, it'd make for some unique PR, and it would be fun for him.
We already have Rhaella's book to give our court the weight of legitimacy and tradition, after all.

@DragonParadox - When you're finished with the books, can you write up the part about the Red Faith?

@DragonParadox, since you're already writing up books at the moment, can we get these written up?
The first was the gift from Lord Redwyn in anticipation of the conclave in Highgarden, the second was the recent gift from Benerro right before we gave the speech to the foremost Red Priests in Volantis. The second especially is important considering it's a decorated hand-written copy of their holy book as well as all their sacred texts and hymns.

Why would we only use Tritons as super soldiers?Tongue-in-cheek name for our supersoldiers: Planes Marines
Sure I'll add them in too.

I believe people have said 11 or 12 is the average stat of the population in d&d so they have the same stat in dex as an average peasant would in d&d

@Azel I was just looking over the individual mods intended for use with our Praetorians. While mechanically sound, the fluff for some of the mods is a bit...icky, for lack of a better word.
I'm assuming that each super-soldier is going to look human, correct, not like a mushroom and vine covered freak? The Fungal Forge should be able to internalize all that stuff so that their physical appearance, beyond being somewhat taller and more buff, is unaffected.

And that's the issue. They shouldn't have average stats in anything, even a dump stat. If he started off with 10 Dexterity, it should be at 14 now.
To have a Dex 10 and Cha 11 after becoming a Praetorian, he would have had to start at Dex 6 and Cha 7. That's not just subpar, it's borderline crippled.
Yes,barring minor cosmetic details.
Anyway I moved the library to the research page so it will be more visible and added the two holy texts to it.

Viserys should have come into this conversation with Detect Thoughts active. Reading Baelish's surface thoughts during the meeting would help us tailor our approach to him from an IC approach, because we really shouldn't have a great idea of his motivations or proclivities, beyond what Varys and Pycelle may have known.
