The original version was tacky, but this is much better. We're still completely full of ourselves, of course, but at least now we're doing it with style!

And comparing Viserys to Fulgrim is insulting. Fulgrim failed his Will saves and never actually got to be Emperor. Meanwhile Viserys just spontaneously achieved the physical perfection Fulgrim sought - we didn't have to sell our souls to become a Dragon!

On another note, maybe I'm misreading the buff pile, but AFAIK Nixie's Grace would have an effect. Its +8 enhancement bonus to Charisma overlaps with our gear, but improves our final Cha by +2. Could we add it?

That would take a full Miracle to replicate and I think we can do better when we throw a point at Mythic power at this.

It would, but as a 6th level Bard spell, we cannot use Blood Wish to duplicate it and I would rather not use a Miracle for what amounts to a single +1 bonus. As a Personal range spell, no one else could cast it on us, either.
 
For all the pyros in the thread, here's a quick update for our current stockpile of incendiaries. Eventually I'm going to sit down and come up with a series of Hellfire (Wildfire-based) and Inferno (Alchemist's Fire-based) Munitions which combines all of them into one beautiful package.

800 Pyre Salt - Fire inflicts double damage for 1 round.
3,721 Incendiary Catalyst - Targets gain Vulnerability to fire for 1 round if they don't already have it. That's +50% damage.
5,210 Alchemist's Fire - All of our Alchemist's Fire is now enhanced with Flame Clove to double its damage and duration. Reminds me that I need to update the damage/duration of effect for our standard incendiaries.
2,376 Wildfire - Needs no introductions.

Hmm, just looking at the numbers and effects, and taking into account the allowances that would need to be made to accommodate the Pyre Salt and Incendiary Catalyst, an Inferno round for a Launcher would need 7 pounds of Alchemist's Fire, 1 pound of Incendiary Catalyst, and a dose of Pyre Salt, plus the casing of course.
  • Inferno Munition / Bomb #1 (10 pounds / 4.5 kg): 12d6 Fire damage (+50% damage if not already Vulnerable to Fire) to everything within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the target space and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire (2d6 Fire damage per round for at least 6 rounds unless extinguished). Everything within the area between 5 (1.5 m) and 30 (9 m) feet of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or suffer 3d6 Fire damage, but they do not catch on fire.
Not exactly something you want to be tossing around indoors or close quarters, but this has Praetorian and Inquisition special use written all over it, @Azel. The effective range and duration of Pyre Salt and Incendiary Catalyst is too short to make it cost effective to add them to regularly used large-scale incendiaries, though special circumstances can always arise where a limited run of enhanced bombs might be needed.

BTW what is the standard ultimatum?

I believe it's referring to the first instance in egoo's post where he outlined how the Legions are to demand surrender.
egoo said:
[Insert lord's name here] will surrender unconditionally, [enter Imperial custody as a] guest and be brought to Kings Landing to meet the Imperator, or [insert fortification here] will be razed to the ground and he, should he survive, clasped in irons, thrown into the [] brig and then brought before the Imperator. He has one hour to comply. A warning salvo will be given after half an hour.

I don't think anyone ever wrote out the specific wording, although that would probably be a good idea.
 
I fondly remember the last few visits to Westerosi nbles, in which we turned up, fixed their problems, and never had to actually ask for their fealty because it was quietly understood that letting us in and accepting our help meant aligning ourselves with us.
No need to actually make any demands. It's inevitable, and they can see it.

Content would be fine, though if you want to include wording that woks too.

Does the wording actually matter? Unless there is some pre-existing relationship or leverage we have over the lord commander of a particular fort, I imagine the check to see if they comply will have more to do with the totally of circumstances rather than a specific "argument" we are making.
 
"Attention Muggles in the sad pile of rocks pretending to be a fortification. Whoever among you passes as a leader had one hour to find their proverbial balls and come out here to take an all expenses paid trip to speak to a real bloody lord about ownership of the aforementioned hovel.

Refusal shall be taken as consent to remove that mar on the face of the continent you're sitting in while you're still inside. Thank you and have a nice day."

For the surrendering or not it likely does not matter one bit, but these are words that will go down in history. I understand if you guys want to be specific.

What is our Imperal policy on LGBT+ couples?

Legal marriage? Are they allowed to adopt children?

Is polyamory legal, and if so is it restricted in anyway?

Is transgender a prevalent thing on people's mind or were there no confirmed cases yet?

Edit: Cause we need to codify these things in the near future just in case. No need for our future citizen feel they are not welcome in society.

There is no policy because we just don't care what consenting people do with one another. The individual cultures of those people who make up the Imperium might have various taboos based on the subject, but that's the consequence of uniting wildly disparate people under a single banner, especially in a place as socially back asswards as Planetos.
 
I'm 80% sure we explicitly approved of same-sex marriage at one point. Transgender people shouldn't be an issue conceptually, as using magic to change one's body is simply a matter of skill, funds, and/or access. However, I don't think there is a state-backed policy to help people transition if they need it. We should look into that at some point.

Polyamorous relationships are also something we've encountered and not had a problem with, but again I don't remember if we've officially recognized it.
