@DragonParadox, I urge you not to apply the Feral (Savage Species) template to Valyrian Dragons. Just have them be Feebleminded, lose claws and spellcasting. Feral piles in even more good stat boots, fast healing, adds in claw attacks and pounce and rake... It's honestly stupid.

He's using the Feral Dragon template from Pathfinder, not the Savage Species template.

Looks good, you are missing an extra +1 from the full plate. should be +11 with reinforced and +2
I also don't know... @Goldfish did we ever get keen sheathes and enlarge person effects approved for them or?

Reminder that they are considered to have a +4 Enhancement on everything, so that would have to be a different kind of bonus.

Oops, yeah. Totally forgot that. And I'm the one who pushed for Enhancement bonuses...
Duh!

He's using D&D fullplate AC value, which is one point less than PF, which you seem to be referencing.
I've just not gotten home, so I haven't had a chance to look over stuff too closely. Scabbard of Keen Edges are just too expensive, at 1,600 IM each. That is almost as much as all of their gear combined. The Enlarge Person item, however, is something we can squeeze in reasonably, as it will only cost 180 IM before any multi-effect taxes are paid.

Enlarge Person would be pretty beastly, since it stacks with the Primal Warrior stance.
As is, they count as Large for the purpose of Trip attacks, special abilities, etc. while in that stance and their weapons deal damage as if Huge.
I've just glanced over the numbers and they have a roughly 50% chance to lay an Adult Red flat on it's ass with Disparity Blow.
With Enlarge Person, which explicitly stacks, they would count as Huge, their weapons as Gargantuan and they could pretty much tear through a castle wall with their swords.

Hmmmm.
What if we give them adorable tiny animals that sit on their shoulders? Will that increase their Charisma?

Edit: Last edit promise.
@Goldfish thank goodness, I was freaking out there for a second.
and with Valyrian steel their swords would probably survive it.

Thinking about it, I think what happened is that this is our first Big Celebration.
By Westerosi Standards, all those things are Feast and/or Tourney worthy victories, so by us not making a big deal about it the Westerosi understanding amounted to "Something about these events has Viserys not want to celebrate them, therefore something wonky must have gone on or it must have otherwise not been as big of a deal regardless of what the Rumors say."
Basically we failed to follow up on the PR portions of our successes allowing our enemies to spin what happened against us and limit the support we otherwise would have gotten.
I didn't remember what Animal saves were offhand and figured that bringing it up would at worst cause the current exchange.

There's no reason why we shouldn't in the end, since we can also harden Adamantine.
Other than sonic attacks and maybe acid hardened adamantine would be pretty much indestructible to anything that doesn't use magic.

It's really not. It's our first international celebration. It's not our first big celebration. That was right after the Saltfest of the Plane of Earth, where we got to blow off a whole bunch of steam being happy with how things had gone. This included the Hearthfire speech from myself, the Tavern Speech from @bigbow and the Founding of the Legion from @Azel
This is nice, no question, but it's not going to alter the founding narrative of our kingdom in the same way.

@Azel Just wanted to say that those super soldiers look really scary. As far as feats go, being able to lay out a dragon with a well placed attack puts them on par with Spartans IIs, if not Astartes. They don't have as many varied implants for that, even discounting feats like tearing into tank armor barehanded.
I'm quite excited to see them appear.

@Azel Here's the Praetorian's gear with just a bit of reskinning/renaming to fit the theme. The belt costs 293 IM rather than the 75 of a standard Healing Belt.
Amulet of the Stalwart Defender:
Praetorian's Regalia:
Amulet of the Stalwart Defender:
- 3 Charges/Day: 1 Charge (12 Temporary Hit Points), 2 Charges (18 Temporary Hit Points), 3 Charges (24 Temporary Hit Points), Duration: 10 minutes
- 3 Charges/Day: 1 Charge (Darkvision 60 ft., 1 hour), 2 Charges (See Invisibility, 10 minutes), 3 Charges (True Seeing, 1 minute)
- It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a Bag of Holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds.
- While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what the pack contains. Retrieving any specific item from the pack is a Move Action, but it does not provoke the Attacks of Opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does.
- Use Enlarge Person(self only) as a Standard Action for 10 rounds at will.
- Healing (3 charges/day): 1 charge (Heal 2d8 points of damage), 2 charges (Heal 3d8), or 3 charges(Heal 4d8)
- Benefit from a +30ft Enhancement bonus to ground movement speed.
- 2/Day Instantly teleport as per a short dimensional hop (with no chance of error) up to 10 feet. The new space must be within line of sight and line of effect. One cannot use the anklet to move into a space occupied by another creature, nor can one teleport into a solid object; if such an attempt is made, the anklet's activation is wasted. The Wearer can bring along objects weighing up to your maximum load, but you can't bring another creature with you.
- 1/Day you can make one extra attack with any weapon you are holding if you already made a full attack on this turn. This attack is made at your full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. This effect is not cumulative with any other effect that grants you an extra attack when making a full attack, such as the Rapid Shot feat, a speed weapon, or the haste spell.
Praetorian's Regalia:
- Razorsharp Valyrian Steel Thinblade (+2): Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2[Enhancement] (Piercing), 18-20/x2, Weight: 3 pounds
- Fearsome Valyrian Steel Extreme Shield (+2): Armor Bonus: 3 + 2[Enhancement], AC Penalty: -4, ASF: 10%, Weight: 25 pounds. Fearsome: +5 to Intimidate [Enhancement], can demoralize foe as Move action
- Reinforced Segmented Valyrian Steel Fullplate of the Commander (+2): Armor Bonus: 8 + 1[Reinforced] + 2[Enhancement], Maximum Dexterity Bonus: +2, ASF: 30%, Base Speed: 20ft, Weight: 55 pounds. Special: Commander (+2 competence bonus on Diplomacy checks, and each ally within 30 feet of you (not including yourself) gains a +1 morale bonus on Will saves, -5 penalty to Hide checks)

I wonder how many Essosi are looking at the joust and deciding they want to give it a shot? I'm willing to bet there's a bunch of young Braavosi men having a blast making awesome banners for their 'houses' and running around on horseback in fullplate trying to nail each other with lances. It's actually really fun, and with magical healing eliminating almost all the danger even more engaging.

Their real advantage is numbers. Once you got two Praetorians fighting side by side, they can buff their Fort and Will saves against each other. Leading a bunch of regular Legionaries also helps a lot, as they can buff them and thanks to Warleader - Distracting Charge combo, they can rack up ludicrous To-Hit bonuses against single targets by leading a massed charge. Finally, getting mobbed by a bunch of dudes is actually a problem for big gribblies.
If you want to see something truly awesome / depressing though, send them to lead a charge in a battle against regular infantry. Or, heck, led them lead a counter-charge against cavalry. On foot.
