*everyone is excited about making a Zomok guardian*

Oh, fine.

But I will fight to death on spending the last remaining sacrifice-juice to empower SD and Stepstones, and not upgrading the staff or whatever else.
}:C

At least Zomok is useful to SD and the surroundings.

I agree we can make our own Guardian, particularly if the result of spending all this juice is only CR20, this has been planned for so long that if we just threw equivalent research time at it we'd blow it out of the water with a construct.

I wish we could just take cool/fluffy Mythic Powers for the Companions. Lya is already an optimized theurge with multiple bodies: does she really need even more cheese?

Furthermore, Mythic Crafting powers don't feel very necessary.
Maybe that's just because I want Lya to take the field more often.

Poor Lya is stuck in the crafting mines... might as well make it memorable when she leaves.:V

It's pretty simple. Actually becoming a god entails a lot of shit we don't want. Thus, we're gaming the laws of divinity and nature to achieve a comparable amount of power while avoiding all the negatives.

Just a few more points of failure... but if you want to be the best, like no one ever was, you have to catch them like the rest. At least make it difficult for them to ruin our God Complex.

Get it? Because it's a administrative building complex...

...I'll see myself out.
 
@Thread, specifically @Azel, @TotallyNotEvil and @TalonofAnathrax but everyone else as well.

What sort of things would you be interested in seeing Lya move towards as unique abilities? Remember, we have three to work with, at Ranks 3, 6 and 9, and then a unique Capstone.

Suggestions are most welcome. Focus on crafting? Focus on knowledge and minor (at first) acts of reality bullshit? What? Something like combining Beyond Morality with Perfect Preparation actually synergises really well on the fluff level, so say we go with that as her Rank 3 special.

For those wanting to give more simple answers, well, what do you see as Lya's founding narrative? We know that creation and unravelling of secrets is getting her Mythic, but how do people feel that should take shape?

I for one would aim for a general "I reject your reality and substitute my own. It's much better organized." feel.

I wanted the basic Mythic Archmage package. Fluffwise, it just fits.

Otherwise, I would prefer more fluffy abilities that focus on breaking planar law, becoming a multiplanar/multibody being, and being very very good at magic and Spellcraft. Not so much crafting, really.

Lya casts spells. All the spells, all the time.
 
To be fair, since the Creation line of spells exists, I can't really think of something in particular that I want for Lya.

Maybe the ability to give planar-related qualities to an area for a limited time?

Like suddenly going "You are partially in the plane of fire now. Let me and all my students fire maximized fieraballs at you!"

Crafting for a start, definitely. I feel that people are missing the point. While it's nice to have a bunch of mid-level crafters, there are some projects that are Lya-specific. Having accelerated crafting time on those is a boon we can't ignore.

To be fair, the multiple bodies trick she gets will defuse a lot of how she's often tied up with that. Still, I'm considering a few options on that score, similar to what @Azel had about pointing at the Akasha and being able to fiddle with her Mythic Creation feats. By which I mean...spend x Mythic Power to swap a Mythic Item Creation Feat 1/day/week/month/whatever.

And she's totally getting access to a Create Artefact special Mythic Feat.

An idea for Lya that I've had for a long time would be a specific skill in unravelling/dispelling. Even tried making a mini-class for her last three levels for it, but that didn't work out.

Seperating magical effects into their base components.
She has done that a lot under lab-conditions, now bring it in the field.

I could see some mechanical options in that area, obviously a bonus on Dispel-CL, but also an ability to supress more than one item per Dispell-casting, or even a variant of Unravelling that can be easily "put together" by her later, to be able to use that spell without permanently destroying loot.
Or a selective Dispel that targets what you want, while still hitting an area.

This has a lot of fluff, imo. Lya has always been a master crafter. Getting better at it is perfectly natural.

That would be neat.

I'd like something that focuses on her Sage of Creation capstone.

- Arcane Rebirth
-- Create a ritual that regenerates/resurrects all lost bodies. All currently alive bodes must participate.

- Circle Magic
-- Extra bodies can participate in the casting of a spell, each participant grants 2 levels to be used for metamagic. This requires close physical proximity or a ritual circle.

The first one is just a ritual she'd come up with, and the second one would be a custom feat to me. I'm not seeing anything particularly mythic about them.
 
What happen with EXP once we reach level 20? Can we only use it for things such as wishes, or do it have some other use at that point?
