>>34186Like, it doesn't have charges, so can a rod really project its function/spell infinitely? There are some rods that create matter/energy like Lenos's kitten rod, or the Rod of Sneezes.
If such a case were true, the crafting mechanic for a rod is merely the transmuter for the near-infinite energy the item is capable of generating and turning said energy into spells (like: "create kittens"). It's true function is "perpetual motion".
I'm being a massive autist today...
>>34173My original plan was to just keep upgrading/modifying her equipment until it matched the persona I was going for, but then I realized upgrading existing equipment is expensive as fuck...
Also, are there any other ways of gaining XP other than defeating enemies?
Can I farm resurrected enemies for XP?
>>34189>massive autistCare to help plan a wedding/ball?
>rodsStill reading, but essentially yes, and that's the appeal of rods. With few exceptions, rods don't have charges (as staves do) which while increasing their manufacturing costs, eliminates the "drain" or decay of the items usefulness.

>>34191Jesus. Just be satisfied with what you have been given for now, and patiently wait for more. Like I want level 20 paladin, but it can wait and be earned properly

Well, if there's nothing interesting for her to find in the
>>34195>paladinNo. Falling is the only way for them to multiclass. You could become a Divine Emissary at epic level though, and that's basically a Paladin/Blackguard+Cleric combo.
Besides, it'd be pointless; at this level, there's nothing that just a couple levels Paladin has that a level 16 Cleric would want for his optimization. If you want more attack bonus, just go with Fighter or something. Better to get 20 in Cleric first though.
>>34196>Could someone, hypothetically, use a *use a mediocre rod to create a device that generates mechanical energy indefinitely?
>>34196i just want some attention from muh deity.
>>34196Correction: Paladins can multiclass, but it's impossible for a character to advance as a paladin once they have another class.
>>34198Cleric is better for that. Try praying at the Cathedral before his statue. You also have Divination spells to receive limited advice from him directly.
>>34199hes being a tsundere and not talking.
>>34198>>34200Thats my fault, not herr Furher's. I am not savvy at emoting Hitler. I've neglected my duties in that regard. I have watched many videos, but there's something about his message that I can't emulate
>>34200Gods don't talk to mortals without good reason. You'd probably need a long monologue of prayer to get answers out of the statue.
There's also Augury and Divination to receive vague answers from heaven.
With Planar Ally, you could plausibly summon Angels from WWII, but they'll confiscate all your items, beat you up, write a bad report etc., if you don't have a good reason and an appropriate payment for whatever you're asking them for, so only use that in emergencies, with proper preparation.

>>34203>Knight>Not chasteDon't worry, it's not degenerate if it's within marriage.
>>34205We already have a talking Elway statue.
Nobody talks to it for some reason though... (I don't, because I'm afraid she might just get vaporized, being a Divegrass-playing Blackguard)
>>34207You're missing the nuance. Its not Trump (as opposed to Lawful) Good, it's Trump (is) Good
>>34206>Sex is still chaste if it happens in marriageFuck, I forgot about that feature of Catholicism, so I have to scratch that idea out
>Tracy is a dive grass playerYou know how people convert religions for marriages? You know how Crusaders murdered every Muslim, Jew, and half the orthodox Christians they came across?
>>34205Most of the others were shitty, but this one's accurate...
>>34210Nothing implied, simply illustrating a disposition from which Trump's demeanor is good and righteous, even though it may "somtimes" color outside the established boundaries
>>34208Then what's the restriction?
>>34211Kek, Thez is a Chad

kek. ive embodied that more than he has.
>>34216Can Tracy learn the Self Concealment feat in the holodeck? How long toes it take to learn a feat?
>>34218Indeed, thats why you're not Trump Good. Trump Good isn't "better", its just,... more lenient.
>>34220>dex 30 hide 30 reqUhm
>>34213>it may "somtimes" color outside the established boundariesThat sounds more like a Paladin of Freedom, desu.
>>34215>I had to unban myself to post thisI always thought Trumpaladin's Lawful Good alignment came mostly from his certainty that his side was the side of right. Which makes a lot of sense, because morality is basically an aesthetic preference that people force on other people violently, and then feel super superior when they pretend like they are better at living by their own self-made standards than other people.
If it isn't obvious I don't quite know what lawful good means, so I've had him always try to talk down enemies before killing them, be protective of protectorates, not steal or lie or at least avoid it where possible, and not engage in gratuitous things like blood baths.

is certain to come to ruin among the many who are

>>34235THANK YOU! Saint Machiavelli is under appreciated
>>34233I'm sorry, those words simply cannot go together with any credibility
>>34235Does Machiavelli also endorse cheating on your fiance with a friends horse wife?
>>34222Just checking..
Do the Epic bonus feats granted at Epic level for classes still need the requirements?
>>34224>certainty that his side was the side of rightThat's mostly Lawfulness. Goodness comes from making personal sacrifices for the sake of others, from what the wikis have told me. Lawfulness refers to respect to tradition, boundaries and authority.
>>34224>morality is basically an aesthetic preference that people force on other people violently, and then feel super superior when they pretend like they are better at living by their own self-made standards than other people.Eh..... That's definitely lawful though.

>>34238Torcuil and Trollestia are married?
>>34238Okay, so in retrospect that was an act that was a bit more questionable
>>34241Torcuil says he doesn't have a waifu
>>34239Huh, I'll think about it
>>34239>ebin featsYes
>alignmentI will say, he'd make a far better Blackguard than Paladin, and that without taking any penalties. Not taking sides, just commenting on proclivity.
You saw that chad-meme about "always getting cucked by anti-paladins right?>>34241"Waifu" has no lawful standing
>>34244you're dodging the question.
>>34244>"Waifu" has no lawful standingI object! Waifusim is an aspect of nature ingrained in universal law.
>>34244>>34248Are you talking about the waifus I've gained with digits? I guess those are universal law, but otherwise, a waifu is no more important than a girl you want to date but cannot
>>34246Okay, desu yes, Machiavelli
does endorse engaging in philanderous activity outside of marriage, such that it benefits or trends toward a better situation for the house, the state, etc.
>>34248e_e Citation needed
>>34251then Machiavelli is a degenerate.
>>34252That's a subjective interpretation, wholly biased, and lacking any objective qualifiers
>>34253objectively moral degradation destroys counties, ask the Romans.
Please don't attempt to apply conventional morality to established Court discipline,... it just doesn't work
>>34251I don't really recall any endorsement of philandery in either the Prince or the Discourses on Livy. I guess it's present in the Mandrake, but I interpret that to be more of a synecdoche for divine based morality
>>34211Mixxed Nuts, a summary
>>34253TIL I'm wholly biased against Machiavelli whoever the fuck he is
>>34254Machiavelli agrees with you
>>34255Machiavelli is against luxury, since it weakens war readiness
>>34257GO BACK TO SCHOOL YOU PLEBEIAN!
>>34249There is no pillar of honor, tradition and faith more sacred than a man's dedication to his waifu.
>>34258then why is he promoting degeneracy?
>>34258Luxury yes, but he's not for aesceticism, and he makes numerous mentions that what upholds the Prince and thus the Province is best.
>>34259There is a sacred rule in contract making more sacred than any other
GET IT IN WRITINGtl;dr get a legal marriage
>>34260Ask GM. I'm putting this under CITATION NEEDED. Although I guess it is a plausible interpretation of Mandrake
>>34261He casually mentions "abstain from their women" (I think in reference to the son of the last king of Rome raping Lucretia and causing the overthrow of the monarchy...) as a requirement for an established monarchy to continue
>>34262>abstainYes, but in general, his position can easily and conclusively be read that "If getting his dick wet prevents tyranny, then let his dick be whet"
>>34258You didn't answer my question
>>34263I mean... sure, if there is some super bizare circumstance where having sex with someone saves the kingdom. But like, when does that ever happen outside of the context of a political marriage, which is not philandery?
>>34265You asked a question?
>>34267a degenerate philosopher.
>>34266Congratulations, you just proved the opposition's point
>>34266oh that was my next point,Danke.
I don't understand any of this
>>34268His name sounds italin
For reference, I wasn't advocating that Machiavelli was entirely correct, I was citing him as a resource that would be largely (though defeatably) accepting to Trump's actions.
>>34271You,... don't know who Niccolo Machiavelli was?
>>34273I probally do, but the name isn't ringing a bell
>>34275He is famous for coining the adage (bastardized) "The ends justify the means"
>>34244How long will it take Tracy to learn, Dodge, Mobility, and Spring Attack, in that order?
>>34276the means justify the end though...
>>34262>legal marriageWho has the authority to notorize marriages? Clergy?
>>34267Niccolo Machiavelli was a Florentine Statesman and General who lead the Florentines in war and who was instrumental in the creation and operation of the brief lived Florentine Republic, circa late 1400s and early 1500s
He is best known for being a political philosopher and historian, writing
The Prince in 1515 and
Disocurses on the First Ten Books of Livy in 1517. He, more than anyone, could be credited with bringing about Modernity in Philosophy with an entirely new way of looking at epistemology and morality, at least since the Greek Classical era
>>34272He is a very good model, yes, although I don't think he would appreciate Trump's aversion to lying
>>34279Fae is a priest, and we're building a courthouse. I would say the State, if you meant that as a philosophical question

Anyway, Tracy returns to the stables to nurture her birds, after synthesizing a bag full of elephant meat.
How many severed heads are in the mess hall?
"I've returned, my Angels." Tracy declares softly, before hugging her birds and feeding them.
What gender are these birds? I can tell a chick's gender by their down arrangements, but I can't see these.
>>34281>Fae is a priestIs she?
>The stateWhat state?
>>34283Just no damned severed heads, and definitely not in the mess hall
>>34283>Is Fae a priestI made her a priest very early on
>What stateThat was a general answer. It would be the relevant state
>>34286Actually, Tracy's faggot what birds are legal to own?
Also, have you raised pigeons?
