- +1 wisdom.
- Skills go up as normal.
- Epic Agile Shield Fighter(36) is his new feat.

SLAs and spells.

[Anastasia]

From the bureau of doing things as a break from level ups, I:'m auditing skill ranks to make sure everyone has the right number. With divine rank and permanent intelligence boosts being a factor, odds are at least some of these are off.

Antenora checks out.

Latha's short 5 skills. She's due 22 maxed out and she only has 17 maxed out. She has racial hit dice as well, so she can go for most anything that's reasonably relevant for her. She selects Appraise, Swim, Craft(Stonemasonry), Acrobatics and finally Use Magic Device. Appraise and Craft are obvious, as one is her niche and Appraise is closely tied to item creation. It's natural she'd pick it up being deep in those matters. Use Magic Device is also an outgrowth of that, simply by dint of all the magical items she's worked with. Acrobatics and Swim is Latha improving her general athletics, which is something worthwhile for her.

Jessica's short 6 skills. She's due 21 maxed out and she only has 15 maxed out. She goes with Appraise, Disguise, Intimidate, Perform(Act), Craft(Trapmaking) and Perform(Song). These are all rogue options, she's going to run the table there since it makes sense for her. Perform(Song) is purely when you get down to it, it couldn't hurt to be able to try and outsing Shar. Perhaps utterly futile, but you never know.

Syala checks out.

Cresiel is short 6 skills. He's due 27 maxed out and he only has 21 maxed out. He'll spend four to get the last four Knowledge skills and consolidate into Knowledge(All), then spend the other two on Craft(Weaponsmithing) and Perform(Oratory). The first fits a war deity (he'd normally go for armorsmithing with his personality and focus, but this is an intentional choice to expand his horizons) and the second is very similar to Perform(Song), which he already has, and it also fits a war deity. FYI, you should get Cresiel to sing sometime, Moore.

Xandra is short 5 skills. She's due 22 maxed out and she only has 17 maxed out. She spend the 5 points to upgrade to Knowledge(All). Fits both her and Cresiel, since they're old celestials that have ascended and have a large knowledge base to begin with. The fact that it's quick and tidy is just a side benefit. At worst, blame Sylvie. You probably pick up all sorts of random crap being around her.

Kaja is short 5 skills. He's due 17 maxed out and he only has 12 maxed out. He goes with Handle Animal, Ride, Craft(Armorsmithing), Craft(Weaponsmithing) and Knowledge(Arcana). The first four are purely fighter skills and the craft choices are obvious for a war deity. The last is from his half dragon side, he has reason to be up on dragons and dragon-kin.

Jetina is short 5 skills. She's due 16 maxed out and she has 11 maxed out. She goes with Knowledge(Nature), Survival, Swim and Perform(Song). These are all assorted class skills, clearing those out.

Sylvie is short 10 skills. She's 34 skills maxed out and she has 24 maxed out. Whimper for me. She goes with Climb, Escape Artist, Intimidate, Perform(Wind Instruments), Ride, Sleight of Hand, Survival, Swim, Craft(Bookbinding) and finally Profession(Sage). She has factotum which means everything's class skills, so she'll probably master skills and skills and skills and there's no escape.

Jarem is short 3 skills. He's due 14 maxed out and he only has 11 maxed out. He goes with Swim, Knowledge(N&R) and Handle Animal. Just knocking out class skills.

I'll do the rest in level ups since they're a tomorrow todo.

Seira's lvl36 level-up

PRISMATIC DRAGON 1//Arcane Trickster26

HP: +d12+Con+Epic Toughness
Con +1
BAB +1
SA: +1d6
+1 CL
15th level spells
New skills: Craft/Writing (30), Profession/Merchant (30), Perform/String Instruments (10)

Prismatic Immunities (Ex): Prismatic dragons cannot be harmed by any light, including spells with the light descriptor, searing light, and the various prismatic (sphere, spray, wall) spells. In addition, they are immune to any spell or effect that causes blindness. Prismatic dragons are immune to sleep and paralysis effects.
Damage Reduction (Ex): A prismatic dragon's damage reduction changes from the base creature's. It can now only be bypassed by epic, adamantine weapons that are colorless. If the base creature did not have damage reduction, it gains damage reduction 10/epic, adamantine weapons that are colorless. If the base creature's damage reduction was below 10, it becomes 10.
Regeneration (Ex): A prismatic dragon gains regeneration equal to its hit dice divided by three. A prismatic dragon takes lethal damage from weapons that successfully defeat its damage reduction.

Yeah, even though we've been chasing the seeds some nice things were accomplished as well, including Bytopia. I'm actually pretty happy it was a collaboration with Alicia, since it feels like a continuation of the duties we accepted in B1.

The Cauldron's not letting go of Astral that easily, but given that people I didn't want to fight kept opposing the expansion of my interests there we can preserve what sphere of influence we had and expand in Bytopia! Also, fuck Shar, I just knew she'd try something there and good thing I moved over so quickly. Once Garl recovers it'd be another thing, but for now it's nice to have his back.

Curious how our expansion will go, myself! Still need to come up with nice names for everything, so if anyone has an idea it's a good time for it. Sanzha doesn't lack for names, at least. Donald's not allowed to name any landmarks, though.

Mechanics-wise, I'm finally going to do something I've been intending to for ages and dedicate roles to my avatars. A rogue, a paladin, a cleric and any other emulations. I don't know how often the opportunity will come to go incognito on Prime and have fun, but Marie's escapades suggest it happens a lot more often than I feared. So maybe a cute dual-wielding favored soul will make an appearance, or a traveling bard that stabs enemies with a fiddle's bow!

It'd be nice to see more of this with Sanzha, and for Kascha and Ranbar.

- +1 charisma.

Decent level. Next after a break is a custom spell or two for her as well as her divine tab.

[Anastasia]

Lyrical Waters
Conjuration (Healing) [Sonic, Water]
Level: Brd 11
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 10ft/level
Targets: Any water source larger than one ounce; see text
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

When cast, this spell makes all water sources equal or larger to one ounce vibrate and faintly glow. This vibration emits a beautiful, ghostly song in Aquan that can be heard up to 30ft from a water source. Every creature who hears this song gains fast healing 10. Additionally, the song is disruptive towards spells that channel negative energy. Any spell or spell-like ability that inflicts negative levels, channels negative energy to injure creatures (such as an inflict light wounds spell) or raises the undead requires a Concentration check equal to the caster level of this spell + 20 to cast.

New Sanzha spell, I'll leave it up a bit for anyone to comment who wants to.

[Anastasia]

Sanzha's divine block is up.

[Nephrite]

Hmm, I wonder how difficult it would be the meet the Concentration check on that spell? It'd be, what, 55ish or so?

I'd say you could probably put it at +30 instead of +20, since you do need the water to actually use it, and that may take some doing to begin with.

[Anastasia]
