They might be a recent landing for all we know, though I ultimately don't care all that much. Would have just been a neat little barony to hand out.
 
Considering we could slap a dragon the size of the Black Dread out of the sky with the kind of power we have... @DragonParadox, please make sure to give us as much dragon corpse to work with when the time comes.

I mean... you would still be able to hand it out. No less than distributing the lands of any other attainted Houses.
 
:cry::cry::cry:
Why not? Is it hard to understand, or just not to your taste for some reason? Or is it mechanically weak?

The BAB prereq can be met by a Wizard 6, the skills are easy (take 2 knowledge skills and a few ranks in all the social skills and you're pretty much there) and Alertness even comes free for people with Familiars !

If it's flavor, then... Yeah. I made this class to fit the "I'm damn good at what I do, and I use it for spycraft" theme. If our Inquisition personnel don't have these skills, then why do we keep them around? Bruisers should go straight to the army :D
We want James Bond, not Thog the Barbarian!

Otherwise, have some more PrC suggestions:
  • Stay a plain wizard. Why not? Every five levels you can get Spontaneous Divination or a domain ability. That's already better than most PrCs. And the world needs people with no PrCs!
  • Loredelver. She'd have to take a Rogue/Beguiler/Spellthief/Factotum level and mechanically this would not be very powerful (losing 2 caster levels sucks) but the skills are amazing for an Inquisition agent and the Loredelver's class abilities are then quite good.
  • Divine Oracle. It's accessible to arcane spellcasters, and it's quite good.
It's not weak, though I hate caster PrCs that drop caster level progression. If I had been around when Danny's Dreamweaver class was being discussed and voted on, I would have raised all holy hell to prevent her from taking a class that dips two caster levels, regardless of how powerful it is.

I don't mind the flavor, but I don't think it fits Mia. She's a Wizard working for the Inquisition, a job she started at 5th level, not a Wizard trained to be an Inquisition agent, if that makes any sense? She doesn't need to invest in social skills. There are other agents for that.

She might stay a straight Wizard or go into some other PRC. I'll check when I get off work.

Sure, but the Hook is less prestigious as a locale then Dragonstone. So still fine real-estate, just not quite as great.
I think you might be underestimating the amount of prestige and fear Tywin will be able to wield if he has dragons, even if they're less spectacular than ours.
I don't care about the amount of prestige he gets when he has them.
Because he will loose that and more the first time one of these dragons meets us and his entire investment is lost.
After giving it some thought, I have to side with Artemis here. Yes, for the time being this solidifies Tywins power-base and gets him a lot of prestige, but those will crumble all the harder when we open the Invasion by making it rain dragon giblets over the Westerlands.

For now, it's even a positive thing. Robert doesn't have dragons and looks weak. Tywin does have dragons and is the only LP looking strong. This will make people wonder if the post-war order in case we loose won't be King Tywin Lannister and that's a prospect very few people would enjoy.

Could always just make it into prime real estate!

Seriously, landforming projects are my favorite thing now.

Well, I did assign a set of Titan Tools to make some cozy terraces next turn.

Also, we will make Stannis a port post-conquest. A nice one, with stormbreakers, wind protected anchorages and a bit of room for a nice village going from the piers and growing up the cliffs. It will look really cozy.

And terrify the shit out of everyone.

While we're at it we should have a team of our tritons tear down all the rocks in Shipbreaker Bay. Those things just bleed money with every sunken ship, and Stannis would probably appreciate the gesture.

Hm... I'm not sure...

I would rather have them use the material to build an artificial reef to lessen stormtides and other weather related issues. It could double as a nice spot for a Triton settlement.

We've only got 930-something Tritons. I'd rather just have them settle in Sorcerer's Deep until we have more.

In any case, with the reef, sure, just so long as "Shipbreaker Bay" no longer earns its name.

That's a long-term idea, nothing urgent for now. I'm sure we will have ten thousands of Tritons in the long term, especially once the squids are gone.
 
I think the general plan for their primary mages is actually to flip them if we can. They've already shown an understanding of how utterly outclassed they are right now, and the distance between us is only going to increase. When the Reconquest begins, we'll be sending them letters, and they'll get the choice. Don't fight, and save their line. Or fight, and...well, if they're lucky, they live. But we won't try to save them. If they oppose us on the field of battle, and the easiest way to remove them is death, then they die.

It's pretty much that simple.
Personally I say if we haven't even met them in person, then if they fight we kill them, but since they haven't rejected us in person, we call up their soul for a chat, and if they agree to work for us we revive them(this is of course only for the higher level PCs, but any low level PC we face, is so outclassed that we can actually safely take them alive)

Frankly, there will not be all that much left of them if they face us in the field.

We will definitely teach Gerold the old adage "kill the mage first" and I don't think that low level mages and artillery fire get along that well.

How many field battles are we planning anyway? Personally I prefer the idea of starting the war, by teleporting around and killing enemy leaders, in order to get as much of the opposition as possible to surrender, those peasant levies are our future subjects after all.
 
I guess we'll have as many battles as we have invasion points, but at least two. We will leave enough people living and fleeing to spread the word, then I expect a lot fewer people wanting to fight us. Then it becomes a protracted police action. I think.
 
So my guess about how Tywin is cheating plugs into my earlier theory: Tywin is hiding the dragons in an expanded Demiplane, and he's cheating dragon aging constraints by making the time inside it accelerated.

Solved, he gets huge sized dragons in one year instead of two.
I would be ecstatic if the Lannisters had a demiplane. I just want to loot it, so they'd better not have a self-destruct feature anywhere on there.

That said... @Azel, if I recall correctly, we settled on sending the spare adventurers Beyond the Wall to get started on hunting down Winterborn and evacuating wildlings? If so...
Secrets of the Farthest North

Hunters upon the Frozen Shores

Description: Even among those the men of the Seven Kingdoms call wildlings, there are some counted savage by their fellows, those who dwell in the coldest and most unforgiving places in an already perilous land. Whether they were driven there for their heinous deeds or driven to them out of desperation Bloodraven knows not and does not truly care to find out. What he does know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that mages have begun showing their powers among these unkindly folk and they have not shown themselves open to his guidance, though as far as he knows they do not yet serve the Power in the North either.

CR: 3-5

Likely Foes: Wildlings, Magic Users, Charmed Beasts

Barrows of the Lost Clans

Descriptions: In times past it was not the Thenns alone amid the Free folk who dwelt in halls of stone and paid homage to their Magnars in the oldest traditions of the First Men. Yet where the Thenns were fortunate others were not, though hunger and sickness and perhaps the cold breath of the North. It is said among the Free Folk what doomed them were was choosing to dwell always in one place like southerners, and the bad air thick with their own greed and grasping choked them to death, but jotted in the corner of your map in Bloodraven's spidery script is the following note: The fools did not burn the dead.

CR:
4-6

Likely Foes: Undead, Winter-Touched

Deadwood Vale

Description: Some ancient blight lingers over this rocky vale between barren peaks, that no weirwood tree will grow within ten leagues of it. Even the beasts here are uncannily hateful to men and will attack not out of hunger but malice... or perhaps the need to keep some deeper evil from being awoken.

CR: 5-7

Likely Foes: Fey, Magical Beasts

Hardhome

Description: The only true city of the Free Folk, it supposedly fell to Essosi raiders, though what manner of raiders would bother to make flames that could be seen as far as the Wall? The birds that are Bloodraven's eyes fly uneasily over the ruins of Hardhome, and one was even so overcome by fright it slipped the ancient Greenseer's control, to be found hours later. Still, whatever dwells still in the ruins of the town seems content to stay there, and so Bloodraven has not meddled while other more urgent tasks demand his attention. He advised caution if curiosity would drive you there.

CR: ???

Likely Foes: ???
I'd suggest either the Frozen Shore (since it's the most urgent due to sheer proximity to the Lands of Always Winter), or the Barrows to systematically get rid of the undead while they're still trapped.

The Deadwood Vale could be good as well, but I am nervous, since every indication of weirwoods not growing there points to a sanctuary of Winter. Or at least of Death. That would probably require Companion attention.

And Hardhome will definitely need Companion attention.
 
The Westerland mages already did that quest for us.

They and the Thenns together cleaned the nearby barrows out.
They actually didn't.

There are far more barrows than the Thenn barrows, and even among the Thenn barrows there's still a bunch left that haven't yet been cleared out.

And as for the Frozen Shore those people mainly need to be evacuated so the Others don't have fodder for minions. It definitely seemed like Bloodraven was the most concerned they'd be swayed.

EDIT: It's right there in the description for the barrows:
In times past it was not the Thenns alone amid the Free folk who dwelt in halls of stone and paid homage to their Magnars in the oldest traditions of the First Men.
 
@DragonParadox Has Bloodraven been able to learn how many Valyrian Dragons the Lannisters have hatched? Or if they actually have the ability to produce Valyrian Steel?

  • [X] Plan Handing Out Places
    -[X] Promise Valaena lands

    ---[X] New Ghis (it's a nice little island, fitting for a Velarion)
    --[X] Obviously, it's her choice in the end. She has proven herself enough to get her pick.
    -[X] Offer Oberyn the Count title for Golden Fields, the by far most fertile area in the upper Rhoyne and arguably his ancestral lands. Once the area is expanded, he would also be the prime candidate for the Governorship of the Rhoyne.
    --[X] On that note, if he accepts, we can legitimize all of his daughters if he wants. He should also consider the matter of inheritance. That is, if he wants primogeniture and thus Obara as his successor or tanistry and letting his girls pick between each other.
