Random DM nagging.

I'm sure Jaela thinks this is a good level at least! He improved his healing game nicely, so I'd call it a good one. Spells to be updated later when I move him to the spells topic.

On paper, at least, he graduates from a quack. Whether he can be trusted with raising people from the dead is another matter entirely!

Lief

- Fighter 8 and Dread Commando 5.
- 8 on a d10 for a total of 227 hp.
- +1 bab to a total of 16.
- +1 to team initiative bonus to a total of +5.
- +1d6 sneak attack to a total of +5d6.
- +1 to fort saves.
- Skills go up as normal.
- New feat is Ranged Weapon Mastery(Piercing)(F8).

Okay level. More SA and Ranged Weapon Mastery are nice but not overwhelming.

[Anastasia]

Also adjusted Lief's SR up to the proper number, forgot to update it.

Crystal

- Ranger 14 and Defender of the Natural World 4.
- 3 on a d10 for a total of 140 hp.
- +1 bab for a total of +18.
- Gains an additional 1st level ranger spell. She unlocks 4th level ranger casting but lacks the wisdom for a bonus spell. She selects another Rhino's Rush.
- Gains spellcasting synergy(2nd level).
- Gains an additional 1st level paladin spell. She selects another divine favor.
- +1 fort, ref and will saves.
- Skills go up as normal.
- New feat is Nemesis(Evil)(18).

Eh level. Not bad, not great. Nothing for Hope, but he gains an animal companion boost next level.

Drena

- Air Elemental 14 and Contemplative 8.
- 5 on a d8 for a total of 230 hp.
- +1 bab for a total of +12.
- Gains an additional 8th level spell and 3 9th level spells per day.
- Gains an additional 6th, 7th, 8th and 3 9th level spells known. He selects Mantle of the Icy Soul(SC), Greater Aura of Cold(FB), Righteous Halo(Custom), Summon Monster 9, Fimbulwinter(FB) and Greater Whirlwind.
- +1 ref and will saves.
- New feat is Extra Turning(18).

A heap of new, useful spells makes it a solid level for Drena.  Fimbulwinter is utility (and expensive utility with the GP/XP conversion) but it may be useful sooner or later.

Cor, I'm assuming Righteous Halo is around to be learned. If you'd rather keep it for yourself, say so and I'll select another spell for Drena instead. Normally I'd ask first, but since I'm doing a ton of level ups, I'd rather ask and assume yes, rather than leave it hanging. Less chance of forgetting about it.

Kascha

- Ghaele 18 and Loremaster 2.
- 2 on a d8 for a total of 171 hp.
- +1 bab for a total of 18.
- Gains lore.
- Gains an 8th and 9th level spell. She selects quickened empowered scorching ray and maximized empowered enervation.
- +1 fort, ref and will saves.
- Skills go up as normal.
- New feat is Greater Spell Penetration(18).

Middling. Shameless metamagic use is a go.

[Anastasia]

Few notes as I work.

1. Ithea, Kascha would be willing to loan you her belt+6 until you get yours back. You bought her that vest, after all.
2. Yuth, post your rebuild spread here? I wanna read/comment on it a bit later.

Hanna

- Planetar 18 and Wonderworker 2.
- 7 on a d8 for a total of 264 hp. (282 after toughness)
- +1 bab for a total of 18.
- Gains an 8th and 9th level spell plus 2 8th and a 9th level spell from wonderworker's bonus spells. She selects consecrated radiant assaultx3 and consecrated fire stormx2.
- +1 to fort, ref and will saves.
- Skills go up as normal.
- New feats are Toughness(18), Words of Creation(WW2).

Nothing world shattering since planetar and wonderworker levels are empty. Nonetheless, consecrate spell+damaging spells gives Hanna more options when she can't close into melee range or has to deal with multiple targets. Options are nice.

Sure, I appreciate that.

[Anastasia]

Fixed more SRs I forgot in previous rounds. I hate when I do that.

Sylvie

- Factotum 18 and Exemplar 2.
- 7 on a d8 for a total of 242 hp.
- +1 bab for a total of 18.
- Stunning fist DC rises by 1 to 34.
- Max spell level of Arcane Dilettante rises to 7th. She removes one cone of cold and replaces it with bite of the werebear.
- Gains lend talent (1/2 penalty).
- +1 ref and will saves.
- Skills go up as normal.
- New feat is Darkstalker(18).

Filler level. Darkstalker is good but she may swap it out later, as it's more of a useful placeholder.

Done, add it to your sheet.

Contingency/Heal if Jaela is taken out of action for more than a single round, Heal can return her to action and Fortunate Fate was not activated or was not enough.

Basically, if I can't act for more than one round (so it won't activate on stuff like Stunning Fist) or have been killed, and if Heal can fix it, then it should activate. Works?

I'm going to put this through the wringer, since the last thing I want in combat is to have to parse out what a contingency is supposed to do. I want these as clear as possible.

For taken out of action, what precisely do you mean? Unable to do anything, like stunned or dazed? Partially limited, such as nauseated or staggered? Some other definition? Second of all, adding in secondary conditions (such as interacting with Fortunate Fate) adds a layer of complexity to this that I would rather avoid. Frankly, I'd prefer for a contingency to be one simple sentence when possible - clear, concise and direct.

Contingency: Teleport. Teleport home when you are gravely wounded(less than 1/3rd hp).
Contingency: Resist Energy(Fire). Cast when you suffer fire damage.
Contingency: Tongues. Cast when you hear a language you don't understand.
Contingency: Greater Invisibility. Cast when you are physically attacked by a longsword wielding elf.

If you find the need to use a comma in your contingency, it may well be overly complicated. Suggestions for what you're getting at here:

Contingency: Heal. Cast heal when you suffer a condition that would reduce your actions in a round.
Contingency: Heal. Cast heal when you are reduced to zero or less hit points.
Contingency: Heal. Cast heal when you suffer a condition that heal can cure.

On paper, at least, he graduates from a quack. Whether he can be trusted with raising people from the dead is another matter entirely!

The odds are generally in his favor now. What could possibly go wrong?

You make a well reasoned and cogent argument.

Slapped together, looks like it'll be Druid 19//Half-Water Elemental 3/Monk 6/Ardent Dilettante 3/Hierophant 5/Shen 2
