I would have thought that would lead to more excitement. Consider they already have enough that they can send nine adults off on a raid all the way into the Reach.
It's a bit tricky to work with things that are not strong enough to be useful for the party and not numerous enough to be useful for the army.
We simply don't have the kind of small elite groups that could use this effectivly and making them is more time and work.

Propably not worth the effort.
 
We're mostly drowning in domestic issues at the moment. Well be more excited when our feat hit the dirt over there.

Somatic Weaponry Feat

This feat. Cast fireball by doing an elaborate spear dance.

@DragonParadox , would we be able to cast from the weir staff, and boost with the rod with this feat?

I can't get the image of someone doing an elaborate 6 second long spear dance and summoning a fireball out of my head. It's so funny.

Eh. The impact of side-story characters on us was close to zero so far, so I'm not expecting this to have any consequences in the appreciable future.

Also, nine is nice, but I'm kinda cooking a plan to gestate hundreds of designer warbeasts these days. Is there something flesh forge related on the reward table for Doomblob?

On demand constructs served us better then breeding so far. It offers both peak performance beasts for the party and timely supplies for large scale projects.

Breeding does neither.

In prior Interludes Dalla has prevented that with the reason of better payment from the fathers.
This time Bloodraven seems to have plans for the girl.

Actually she is going to prevent it from a much simpler reason, spite, well that and enforcing her position. She does not want any of the raiders to assume that going against her word will lead to rewards of any sort, so she is going to make damn sure none of them get their hands on the girl.
 
Bingo. The sword was never supposed to drastically change the fighting style of the person that draws it, but instead provide a strong fall-back for a character out of his/her comfort zone with some nice bonuses added in.

It's not really a strong fallback for Viserys though, if we're falling back from spells a +1d2 to caster level isn't helping.

@Crake would you rally behind Rhaella?
 
I would prefer giving the damn thing to Dany than giving it to Mother. But I know I'm a bearer of mostly unpopular opinions.

It would serve DPs intended purpose where on him it won't and the soulbind is a burden I'd rather place on her than either Dany or Viserys.

I feel you brother.

Also spell combat is actually kind of good yes? Why does nobody talk about it.
Edit: ahem*

Magus Tactics
Your primary ability is spell combat, which combines attacking with spellcasting, and which you should use as often as possible. Essentially, you can do the following four things in your turn, in any order: (1) make all iterative attacks with your main weapon; (2) cast a spell; (3) use a swift action; and (4) take a 5' step. Mastering this is the key to playing an effective Magus.
If the spell is a touch spell, you get an extra attack as part of casting it, similar to flurry of blows. In any case, you do take a -2 attack penalty, and your spell provokes opportunity attacks unless you cast defensively. Let me show you some examples:

  • Cast Shield from out of melee range, so you don't provoke; 5' step to the enemy, and make your iterative attacks.
  • Cast Shocking Grasp defensively, make the attack from that spell plus your iterative attacks, and 5' step back so you can cast without provoking in the next round.
  • Cast Vampiric Touch from well out of range, move 30' up to the enemy, and make the attack for it. If the attack misses, hold your charge so you can try again on the next round.
  • Cast True Strike from out of melee range, 5' step to the enemy, then use defensive combat to make a maneuver. You get +16 to hit with it, and an AC bonus against your opponent's opportunity attack.
  • Enchant your weapon as a swift action, cast Frostbite trusting your buff spells to block the opportunity attack; then make your iterative attacks plus the one from Frostbite on any targets within reach. The next turn, use spell combat to first make your remaining attacks with Frostbite,then cast another spell.
  • Cast Chill Touch, then instead of making a touch attack, use your weapon to do a trip maneuver. If the maneuver hits, the touch spell will also connect. This also applies to disarm and sunder maneuvers, as well as to subsequent attacks while the spell lasts.
We will likely use it. We have a way of going claws deep into our enemies while we're in HAD form.

Actually following up a HHD full attack with a spell would be pretty balling.

The biggest reason I want Viserys to have this (other than not wanting mom to ever even touch it) is that uncle bloodraven wanted us to have it, and that it would make a cool badge of office and that it will probably add a new character to the story that can directly interact with us (unlike the other sentient sword)
 
Eh, isn't the staff more useful out of combat than in? In contrast, Dark Sister seems like it is made for combat and combat alone.
So far the raven feature was dead useful in combat twice. Furthermore, if narrative is factored in, I value the sign of our covenant with the Old Gods vastly more then the old family sword.

Some wanted to add a Dragonglass spear tip and maybe make the whole thing a sacrifice spearstaff.

Hmm. Can somone update me on the state of the Dark Sister vote? Last few pages imply that some things have shifted.

Feels like the discussion is going in circles since last night, just with a different subset of posters active now.
