Please read the omake that introduced her carefully again, then you might notice why talking about buying, selling and breeding something she has a closer relationship to then any human around her might be... unwise...

Ultimately only the VS matters, even the horse being just a rounding error and @Goldfish having already accounted for all other prizes.
If she doesn't want a spare horse then fine, it makes no difference.
 
Bad idea. Given time, a determined enough opponent could probably use those two components to form a metaphysical connection to the item and induce unpleasantness.
I highly doubt the Epic Valyrian Sorcerers left any sort of vulnerability in their little masterwork, especially one that easily exploitable.
The Tourney winners should be Counts
What? No.

Counts are Big Deals. We should save them.

Mind you, there is some haggling involved in the whole matter. If Braavos remains a King-level title, then they would hold sway over the Duchy level titles of Braavos, Andalos and Pentos for geo-political reasons. So Waymar would likely become Count of the Hills of Andalos, Governor of Andalos and would be sworn to the Sealord of Braavos as his direct superior.
I'm not keen on giving Braavos even more influence, that the King-level would allow for.
Nuri could tear through his HP quite nicely, but that needs Wraithstrike and getting the drop on him, which is a lot harder then against other opponents due to his Blindsense. Him having Scintillating Scales active would also be a problem. Then again, Aradia can also hurl quite some hurt at you and Mereth isn't exactly shooting spitballs either. Which is why I think Team Arcanum has a good shot.

Team Blue might be able to take him, assuming they buff the Dragonturtle enough and can tar-pit him.

Mel should have the oomph to get him.

The new Team Abyssal For Beginners has also a lot of firepower and especially the drow might be able to do him in.


So it's not quite as bad as before. Him being a contestant in a solo-competition would have been bonkers, but here there are a bunch of teams that could take him with a bit of luck or good planning.
Note, team Arcanum is absolutely murderous... if they have three or so rounds of set up to buff.

Look at their sheets again, and disconsider the buffs.

All incredibly good for 8th level characters, but not the sort of good that'd allow punching out Amy.

The high level casters are a serious danger, tho.
What.

Maybe I need to reread the Bear Cycle, but what.

This has...implications for Fey Science.
I think it's supposed to be very much a freak accident.

With fey, it's more ironic/amusing freak accidents than science.

Which raises the question if pre-fight buffing is allowed or not, as long as all buffs come from the members of the team.

Indeed. There was probably some Fey lord nearby who considered the whole thing excessively funny.

It was in the mage fights, as long as it was a long buff (no setting up rounds/level buffs while you walk into the Circle).
 
[X] Tell her that you will take this request under consideration. You already have some ideas in that regard, but want to wait for the official ceremony to announce the final decisions.
-[X] Do an Interview: Embra

I think people have been waiting for that for a while now.

We already did the Embra interview.
 
Well, I totally forgot that...

--[X] Try to strike up a conversation about the arcane details of various types of undead. What is the difference between a skeleton and a vampire or Lich? Where does an undead creature end and a construct made from bone and flesh begin?

Tea and crumpets with the death-cultists then.

My guess to this question is the line is drawn at sentience.

If it's shirking the natural order of life and death to maintain a semblance of influence on the world when they should have passed over.

If it's a non-sentient monster or tool, it's just that. Warded off or looked at wearily, like any other monster in the wild or tool held by another power.
 
So, @Mormont , how do you want to handle the Redcap thing?

PF Redcaps are CR 6 with 8 RHD, 3.5 gives redcaps incredibly good advancement (they get +1 STR/DEX/CON every HD) but they only start at 4 HD.

I don't think he could stay a martial rogue after the reincarnation, as that'd put him at 13 HD going with the PF Redcap.

Fey have good skills, so he can still be "the rogue". Do you want to just go with a PF Redcap with swapped feats/adjusted 3.5 skills?
 
@TalonofAnathrax what do you think of the Redcap situation?

These guys will need sheets if they will fight for real in the tournament.

I'm thinking a bland Improved Initiatie a Extend Spell - Natural Bond - Natural Spell for the Druid 6.

For Bear Lady, Power Attack and Improved Grapple for sure, but what else? She shouldn't be using her bite much, as it spreads the contagion, but she can use a greatsword and a claw. Multiattack?

For the Bard... Versatile Spellcaster, Melocid Casting, Extend Spell, Touch of Healing?

Encouraging Spell would be a nice effect for a Bard, if they know the right spells, such as Elation. It would also pair well with Moment of Greatness.

Yeah good point, say the freak accident also switched his class levels for the RHD? I think PF one looks better but it's not l like I e actually played d&d much.
 
@Goldfish, has every Minotaur Fighter gotten Horseshoes of Speed yet, or should we try to get that over the next few months?
No, only Argo so far.

At 300 IM each, 50 of them adds up to 15,000 IM. That's not a huge amount for us now, but there have been better options. Definitely no room for it in the 9th month. We might be able to craft them all in the 10th month, though.

Fair enough, and no hurry. I'm happy to wait.

When we do achieve that nobody will be able to outrun them. :evil:
 
I reiterate my suggestion that Ting gets a Scorpion Kama, so he can deal US damage with it.
