DM Nagging: It's pretty much my job

[Anastasia]

Added a new cantrip/orison to the spell collection.

It's a leftover from a though experiment. Namely that healing magic really doesn't follow the rules of medicine. It's usually one size fits all heals of vast power, absolute cures rather than careful, deliberate medicine. I had it as a 1st level spell there, it's a cantrip since it's being brought over and is hardly worth mentioning otherwise.

But hey, an extra cantrip never hurts.

[Anastasia]

Side note while my mind is on it: While not coming right away, start thinking about any possible custom content y'all will need for level ups. This goes double for new spells, be it ones you want to design, hand off to me or toss around suggestions.

Heads up: If you're going to cast the spell divination, make sure you specify it's that spell. As divination is also the name of the spell school, it can naturally lead to misunderstandings and a lack of clarity. Thanks.

Say, Dune, at a rough estimate. How long has it been since B6's opening to now?

Related to that, how long has it been since we restored Zariel and advanced to DvR2?

[Nephrite]

IMO we should really rename the spell to something else. :T

Trying this again:

Inspiration Domain

Granted Power: Once per day, you may inspire yourself or another ally. You may increase a single attack, damage, skill check or saving throw roll by your Cleric level / 2.

Inspiration Domain Spells:

1. Divine Favor
2. Blessed Aim
3. Mass Aid
4. Glibness
5. Atonement
6. Surge of Hope
7. Aura of Vitality
8. Lion's Roar
9. Freedom


I admit, Aura of Vitality and Freedom aren't Cleric spells naturally, but I feel like they fit very well with the theme of this particular domain.

2-4 months.

1-2 months.

Respectively. I'm assuming there's downtime that's not discussed much in between events and blah blah blah blah. This game has a big looming threat but also isn't under a timer, and timekeeping between nodes (except when in contact) is intentionally a bit hazy for DM sanity reasons.

Thought about it, but it's deeply set and odds are we'd just call it divination anyway. Never felt like expending the capital on it this late in the game.

Walk me through the logic of the spell choices here?

Domain power's interesting. I'd need to run some numbers on it, but being tied to cleric level probably prevents the worst shenanigans with it.

This weekend's content will largely revolve around the Red Knight. I have three ACFs ready to go and may make a little more content for her as well. Expect that Saturday sometime.

[Nephrite]

I won't rehash the decisions I made on the previous spells since they're the same.


1. Divine Favor
2. Blessed Aim - Another morale bonus that fits the inspiration theme.
3. Mass Aid - I think this continues to fit the idea of inspiration.
4. Glibness - This is more about personal inspiration, but I think it works. I could find a different one, though.
5. Atonement
6. Surge of Hope
7. Aura of Vitality  - This one is again, more morale-based inspiration. You're basically infusing either yourself or others with help.
8. Lion's Roar - Here we have one where you're showcasing a damage while also giving your allies a bit of pep in their step by being inspired.
9. Freedom - I can see arguments against this one, but Freedom (the word, not the spell) is one of the best things someone could be inspired to work on their own, so I feel like from a thematic standpoint it fits.

Minor upkeep notice: ACFs tailored to a deity now explicitly note that you have to serve that deity to select it. This isn't changing anything, just making it official.

[Anastasia]

This weekend's content is up with 5 ACFs now available. Three are dedicated to the Red Knight and two are reveals of how Lixer's sorting his business out on Avernus.

It came up in PM that I have stat blocks I should really do, but I haven't felt like doing character stat blocks lately. I did Walt Songsteel and posted him on Alyssa's board to try and rouse myself and shake off that particular lethargy. He's about as simple as a stat block can be, so it's a nice warm up.

[Anastasia]

Right now, my weekend project is assembling NPCs of lower power levels (read as nothing in epic) for various worshipers and servants of PC deities. Right now that's Alicia and Seira, though there's a good chance Moore joins them short/mid term and possibly Alyssa and Tryll the mid term.

Right now I have one for Alicia up, one for Seira should follow soonish, either tonight or tomorrow. He's done from a long time ago, just as Savin was, so it's purely cleanup and tweaking.
