Definitely. She needs all the bonus points to CHA she can get.
I didn't consciously quote anything, but you may or may not be right. I've read a lot of stuff over the years.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they do.
Taken from the front page in the Scholarum post:
And to top it off, Leila happens to have Scribe Scroll as well.
Given all that, we should really be giving the level 5 Archivists their own quills so we can mass produce scrolls of Cure Light Wounds and other minor divine spells.
EDIT: Wait. Does that Augment Summoning thing replace Scribe Scroll? Damn it.
Looks like I was wrong. Can we replace that? Scribe Scroll is hands down more useful for us in the long run.

I greatly support this. Long term, I want this for Anya:
Adamantine Full-Plate with Greater Ironward Diamond
-5% ASF - Thistledown Suit - Armor Description
-5% ASF - Armor Abilities - Caster Armor*
-5% ASF - Feycrafted - AaronWiki
-10% ASF - Spellsword (Class Feature)
-10% ASF - Twilight – Item – D&D Tools
That's a total of -35%, which negates Full Plate entirely.

Don't forget the -10% for being mithral.

Okay, she's getting a +2 Charisma ring then, to push her to 18 Charisma.

Some of those shouldn't be compatible with one another. A Thistledown Suit can't be made from Mithral, for example.

Seriously though, can we get Scribe Scroll back on for the Archivists in the Scholarum? That happens to be one of the best features of the class -- they're one of the few divine casters who actually make scrolls. Archivists with Scribe Scroll can mass-produce divine spells for us. This just seems vastly more useful to me than Augmented Summoning.
EDIT: If I'd realized at the time what their proposed build was I definitely would have argued against it.

You can explicitely also make the gambeson that goes under heavier armor out of Thistledown, giving the exact same effects.
And no Mithral. That's the point. She can wear Adamantine plate with that setup without getting any ASF, thanks to the class feature from Spellsword.

For now it's +2 from Charisma and +1 from Spellcasting Prodigy.

Those are meant to fight and work in the Legions, tho.
I think it's safe to assume some deviate from that path.
@edit: Could lose SF Conjuration and gain Scribe Scroll, as getting Augment Summoning through the ACF doesn't require it.

Even for the Archivists in the Legion, just being able to make backup scrolls, especially with a Quill of Scribing, seems way more useful IMO. Cure Light Wounds without wasting spell slots, various summoning spells, etc. Scribe Scroll is a massive tool that the Archivists are missing out on.
Interlude CCXCVII: The Dragon and the Devil
The Dragon and the Devil
Third Day of the Fifth Month 293 AC
It was a fact universally known that Daenerys Targaryen did not like chains even by the standards of Sorcerer's Deep, a town raised by Braavosi immigrants and former slaves. Still, most people might have been surprised, and the girl admitted, perhaps a touch perturbed, to discover just how deep that hatred ran. Most people, after all, would have been hard-pressed to give up food and rest for any task, even if like her they did not need any of the former and much of the latter... much less to spare devils the chains they had worn for ages beyond count.
At least her 'patient' appreciated her zeal if not the fundamental cause behind it. She had not heard one complaint as she put Mereth through a series of downright contorted postures to fit within specific arcane diagrams, nor when she was fed all manner of reagents that must have tasted utterly vile even if they could not harm a baatezu, long inured to the poisons of their demonic foes. Dany tried not to think too hard about what the grudging admiration in the Fallen's eyes meant.
"... I think we can safely say that mind magics are not the solution. Any distortion significant enough to resonate in your soul would damage your identity to an unacceptable degree."
The Fury nodded with an almost mechanical precision, but the young mage thought she could see a glimmer of relief in that tarnished gold gaze. By pride she had Fallen, and now that pride in herself defined her as few mortals could even begin to understand...
The answer came to her in a flash of inspiration like a flame in the night: "Would you have any objection to being more yourself?"
"No." There was a faint long-suffering undertone to the words as though she knew enough of sorcerers in the grip of inspiration to be wary of them.
"Think about the deeds that make you who you are, the triumphs and the defeats... now consider what would happen if you amplified the resonance through a ritual wherein you recounted them to a worthy audience, not just your peers, but Ser Richard, Malarys, Viserys... maybe not Waymar."
"Mortals have such weak stomachs," the Fallen sneered.
"Yes, so fragile are we that we gutted an Arch-duke's Aspect," Daenerys snapped in return. The notion that evil was itself some sort of strength cut close to the bone.
"My apologies," Mereth replied after a moment, sounding if not contrite then at least vaguely sincere.
"As I was saying," the girl continued in tacit acceptance of the devil's words. "At the end of the ritual you would have to be marked with rare dyes symbolizing the aspects of this world, but the tale... the history they would tell would be your own."
"Would the onus of the ritual fall on me or another?" the Fallen asked, proving once more that she was not unfamiliar with the principles of magic for all that she had no affinity for spellcraft.
"It would be on you, but there are charms and talismans to sharpen your mind and strengthen your will for the trial," the young mage explained, thinking of the enchantments her brother used to help him carve the first Heart Trees he grew.
"And if I should fail?" Mereth inquired curiously. "Would my mind fracture under the weight of not being able to justify itself beyond Baator's reach?"
"Perhaps if you were mortal, but for you mind and body are too closely joined." Daenerys' voice took on an almost apologetic edge. "You would face True Death."
"Good," the Fury nodded grimly. "Oblivion is a better fate than madness."
Disconcertingly Daenerys found herself agreeing with the fiend again, though she also wanted to offer reassurance that madness just as other ills of the mind and body need not be forever. Therein she supposed lay the difference between them, in trusting others even in the face of weakness.
"... Dany, are you up there?" her mother's voice floated up from the lower landing of the tower.
"Go!" the girl called to the devil, not wishing to be found in such company until she could present some more palatable situation to her mother.
Mereth faded in a floury of twisting shadows, a look of surprise and incomprehension on her face. Another difference, perhaps the most important.
OOC: Dany did not roll great so you got a pretty expensive ritual at 2500 Gold per freed Erinyes, which only works on Erinyes.

Does that include the HP from her Constitution bonus?

The ship fighting one is kinda fun, well, the ship fighting bits, anyway.
@thread, we could have picked up 4.8k gold last time we were in Opaline Vault, and I am ashamed we didn't. Also, when we do a trade run to air, can we go to opaline vault and get some Mithril/adamantium? Maybe do that first to get more and sell in Ammon kellisk? Profits can be used to pay off the iron bank and get mindblank items
Yes, I rolled the full 4 + 1d8 + 1d10 + 3

@DragonParadox, can we get the details on this ritual to free the Advanced Erinyes? What are the DCs we're looking at here?
I'll put up the full ritual in the morning.

Consider it a spoiler for the Omake I have planned where Anya interacts with Lya:
"She learned two very valuable lessons there. One, that some people were so far gone that there was no longer any distinction between genius and madness, and two, that you should never ask those people questions. They might answer you."
I'm not even sure in how many ways this is hilarious.
