Random DM nagging.

So with Gytha's demiplane, Aurora has more space and a big old ocean to use. What do you all want to do with it? NPC suggestions follow.

The demiplane can be reached by the gate at Aurora's front gate or at the portal hub in the entrance hall. It can return to both spots, though Elena or Galariel can change this in times of defense as needed.

1. Storage for a navy since Jaela's starting one.

2. Refuge for the water elementals and any aquatic creatures. Would help using purely aquatic creatures since they'd have a suitable habitat in Aurora.

3. Construct a small town to center things on, built on docks at the shoreline. Likewise, an underwater village is suggested.

4. Emergency food supply via fishing, kelp harvest and so forth.

Gytha's labs are likewise here but will be covered IC later on.

Since I felt like covering this in more detail.

1. Naval harbor with attached village. Could expand into a trade hub if we're on a plane that has trade. Putting our citizens to work raises morale and makes them feel useful. We all love morale rewards.

2. Beneath the harbor, or perhaps off to the side, could exist an underwater portion of the surface village. This would allow us to attract aquatic recruits as well as host a possible embassy from Water? I know the tortles and the water elementals would be happy, but there's no reason we can't attract merfolk, aquatic elves, sahuagin, or anything else that wants to play nice. Again, it lets our aquatic and amphibious citizens feel useful.

3. Fish! It's a demiplane, so temperatures can be manipulated to support exotic life. A coral reef could be a nice touch, and it could be used to supply exotic spell components or crafting materials. Additionally, pearl farms. Fish can be acquired as easily as scooping out a lake or ocean with a spell or net. Exotic fish may require dedicated purchases, but if they can provide positive effects, I see no reason why we can't support this. Hell, Tryll would be pleased to dedicate some time to it if necessary. Also, Baleruk likes giant fish. Keeping our half-mad draco-abomination happy is probably a good idea.

Really, we've just installed an extremely large swimming pool. I can think of a lot of things to do with it.

Doable enough.

All doable. The water elementals would love it and get a morale boost from it, too. Same as the fire elementals having their thing.

All of those are doable too, though a time investment. Basic fish are trivial to get and a bit of work can get you most exotic fish. Water if nothing else, y'know?

[Anastasia]

Dune, what do you think of this? It's just a copied/upgraded version. I wasn't sure what level to make it, seeing as how you disliked the hijinks of the uncapped version.

Mighty Wallop, Superior
Transmutation
Level: Sorcerer 10, Wizard 10, Spellthief 10
Components: V, S, AF,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One bludgeoning melee weapon
Duration: 24 hours
Saving Throw: None (object)
Spell Resistance: No (object)

As Mighty Wallop (Greater), except that the bludgeoning melee weapon damage increases by four size categories.

Focus: A melee weapon.

Something like that's okay. I'll work up a version of it in a little bit, need to crunch a few things.

[Iron Dragoon]

For consideration:

Dragon's Skin
Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: None (Harmless)
Spell Resistance: No (Harmless)

This spell conjures up a phantasmal dragon which wraps itself around you. By being imbued with the energy of a Dragon, you gain a +10 armor bonus to armor class and 10/Damage Reduction.

Material Component

A single dragon scale

[Anastasia]

Do you mean damage reduction 10/magic?

Level ups are coming once the current batch of adventures end and Benfal prep begins. Notes and reminders.

- If you're going to dip, remember that only BAB matters now. Saves are on epic save progression so that isn't a concern.

- Level 25 is a non feat, non stat level. If you want either of those, you'll have to get them from class abilities.

- If you need custom material for the next level up, say so now so it can be prepared. Please don't spring it on me mid-level up.

- Likewise, this is a good time for any purchases. If you want an item for Benfal, get it now. Prep, prep, prep.

- NPCs are hitting level 24, so they get a feat and stat point for sure. Expect a bit of a power spike from several of them. Build charts exist, feel free to go check them out and make recommendations. If you do, post them in here rather than the build chart topic.

- There will be a few days off once we hit level ups, as it takes a lot of time on my end to do NPC level ups. So you'll have time to get your houses in order.

I'd like to look at an Epic Fatesinger progression if you're willing to work with me on that.

[Iron Dragoon]

I kinda left that open for you to decide for what's most suitable for the dragon-y defenses theme.

Easy enough. Lemme whip one up real quick. This'll just be the bones of the progression, feats can come once that's done.

10/magic's fine. DR/magic is so trivial at that level that adding that at an hour/level is no big deal.

I would suggest renaming it, as there's a dragonskin spell already.

[Anastasia]

Also Neph, check your PMs.

[Nephrite]

Done.

[Anastasia]

Done.

Superb. Don't check your PMs this time, it's just a confirmation of it's what I needed.

[Anastasia]

How's this look, Neph? It's just the bones of it, no custom feats or custom material for it. Those can be added a bit later.

The only thing would be to change the +1 arcane to +1 existing since that's what Fatesinger is now.
