Replacing Heroism with it, I guess.

No need for that. It's a 2nd level Cleric and Bard spell, which means Lya can create Beryl with it at 2nd level.

Or you could replace Heroism anyway and use Shadow Enchantment instead. She could still duplicate Elation, but it would provide all the other 1st and 2nd level Enchantment spells for Beryl as well.

I did the latter. That good?
 
I still can't figure, for the love of Baator, what are the small devil critters. They can't be Nupperibos, but they are still weaker than imps.

And I highly doubt that we are talking about the Doll Devils here. Those can't even fight.
 
And here's Diana, the Arcanum we told the Queen Rhaella would be a member of her crew.

She's kind of like the Mercy of the sea, intended more for her buffs than her offensive power. With her spells, she can quickly and easily buff the entire crew before any naval engagement, while her mobility provides excellent intelligence gathering ability. She also has a number of buffs meant to make things easier on a ship at sea, including Keep Watch for sailors on duty, Aboleth's Lung and Swim to give sailors extended ability to operate underwater, and Tail Current to further enhance the Queen Rhaella's already incredible speed. Her Positive Energy Aura and Rays will keep the crew in peak condition and heal any damage to the Queen Rhaella virtually as soon as it occurs.

She isn't built to be an arrow-firing death machine like Aradia, but she's easily capable of lending her bow to any conflict, and from a great height well out of bow range for any enemy.

Also, re: Blood Factory, I was talking with a biologist friend who's also into RPG, and he essentially posited the problems of:
- Figuring out you have all the components that actually produce the blood for the devil. We are making a huge assumption in looking for "bone marrow".
- Find a way to give it some kind of Regeneration or at least Fast Healing, as this kind of organ culture just usually dies before it can pump out anything useful and there are a ton of associated problems with this kind of shenanigan.

This is assuming we can even get a marrow -> fungus translation. And there will probably be a need for a special diet for it.

It probably also holds true for making venom-producing plants.

But yeah, we should look into killing a Troll or something.

Our hydra already have regenerative capabilities with their heads that we can replicate, but you're right. A troll is just an undeniably better test subject.
 
@Crake @Goldfish Considering that we're going to hit our stride with crafting, maybe replace one or two of the expanded arcanas on your builds with pages of spell knowledge? Then either remove a flaw, or add another feat that benefits their general... stuff doing?

I don't think either one of them are missing out on much for taking Expanded Arcana feats. Pages of Spell Knowledge can't always be the solution to limited spell selections.

And the flaws give them character. I think Love of Nature fits Diana very well, for example.

Of course not.

You need Stars of Shallosh for that :p.

But in all seriousness... why not? We are making progress on urgent item crafting, getting a better enchanting method soon, and for 3k gold or so you get a feat saved or flaw removed :D

You telling me you want Diana to die out on the seas there because you didn't want to put in an order for a page of spell knowledge to give a new life the very best chance they can get? That's... pretend monstrous!

I've linked the quoted post to Beryl's creation day in the schedule, so any changes you need to make, I would put them there to help DP.

Oh, and Beryl is missing her 1/Day Smite Chaos special ability. DP also rolls HP, so including her, even if it looks to be averaged, might be a bit premature.
