>>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.

>>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

>>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.

>>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?
>>34286Idk.. A fiendish raven is a lawful-aligned creature.
You're character is chaotic anyway.
>>34287Several of the previous characters have their heads in the mess hall, including the last Paladin who owned Vadereim.
>>34289>>34286Oh, irl.
It depends on the state you live in, plus zoning bullshit.
I have handled pigeons.
>>34292>>34290is a Choatic raven a thing?
>>34294In game?
Idk. Fiendish Raven, from the summon monster table, is a Lawful Evil creature: it counts as casting a Lawful and Evil spell.
>>34292>>34293What are pigeons like?
GM does anything happen in the town?
>>34296>pigeons like?Well, what about them? They're pigeons.
They're harder to handle than you'd expect.
>>34298>'........... I'm fine...'>>34296Nothing happened while Tracy was there..
so are infernuis and thez still 69ing?
>>34299>harder to handle than you expect Thats what I was looking for
>>34277I'd say 1 wk per feat
>>34279That depends on who one is appealing to. Marriage typically involves submitting to an authority outside of ones self or their partnership, making those to be married supplicants. You will note that the vows Thez and Infernius exchanged did not require such, only a witness who could be observed as independently sovereign.
>>34286Sure
>>34287There's already a few, just to let you know,....
>>34289There's legaities for bird ownership? In Port Barry?
>>34296There are increasing decorations and planning, but nothing is particularly popping at the moment
>>34299Insufferable bastards you mean,....
>>34301I hadn't realized that they were, last I heard they were discussing the prospect of a wedding. She's not opposed to 69, but she'd much rather he tied her hands with her braid and had his way with her.
what? its true,... >>34303>The Vows Infernius and Thez did required no outside authorityThat's why it is not a valid marriage. The essence of marriage is that the relationship is placed outside of the caprice of the participants by making it no longer belong to them
>Thez's sexual preferencesShe has better tastes
>>34306True, except that Thez (Gilana) is a standing member of the House of Thez, having and maintaining the authority to engage in contractual and binding agreements so long as witnessed by a sovereign party.
>>34303i was gonna interrogate darkie but sex is a better prospect.
*binds hands*
*smiles fiendishly*
"im going in dry."
>>34308Like binding her hands won't provide sufficient moisture,....
>>34309I think he's referring to a different hole
And while things get lewd, GM departs for 5-10 minutes to acquire take-out
>>34303>1 wk per featAlright. Tracy Trains towards the Great Dexterity Feat, in her free time.
Also
>>34283What gender are her birds and how many heads are in the mess hall?
>>34313i'd like some peach rings
>>34310I doubt it, Infernius doesn't strike me as the type who would abide stink-dick
>>34316he would be if thez wanted it.
>>34316Please tell me the gender of the birds.
>>34319>three months agoKek. I think she should only just barely be showing any bulge at this state of pregnancy
>"Silly pony, you've got nine months until he's born. No need to rush. We probably have a war coming up. That will get in the way of things. We can perhaps have a celebration once we have crushed our enemies">>34322REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I wanted a Sam Eagle
>>34321*continues aggressive fugging*
>>34322GM, I want an assessment of the Artilery situation. Like what essential numbers do I need to know and so forth. Both wooden weapons are tested, and the Cannons are taken to the Industrial forge for refitting, or scrapping if necessary. Does Slovenia know Ironworking to any degree?
>>34323Blame the dice
>>34324Thez continues liking it, though displaying a diminishingly astonished expression of false-opposition
>>34325>ironworkingNo
>Artillery/machine essential numbersUh,,.. I'll get back to you
>>34327Kek, I'll try to do that
>>34326>DiceREEEEE! I'll have to go with a Samantha Eagle or something
>No Iron workingAww... We can assume Port Barry has Ironsmiths, especially since it was mentioned in the two city-improvement posts, right? Also, is Slovenia super adorable when the Trebuchets are fired?
>>34322If I were to go with how I normally name mythological creatures, I'd give them Arabic names, but I've got better sources for this case.>>34329>moments laterFine, whatever will make you happy. Sam it is then. I'll name the other one Bunny then... because fug mythology..
>>34329why not Colombia the eagle?
>>34330Better than a 9/11 Hijacker's nameI'll go with that. How does Tracy feel about Trumpaladins's suggestion in
>>34323>>34331I did think about that. It's because Columbia is a place name, not really a person's name. But I cam go with it
>>34333And I got the fucking trips.
HOW
>>34329>ironsmithsYes
>Super cuteIf by that you mean, a face of grim satisfaction, yes
>>34333Trips confirm
I g2g for a couple hours..
>>34335>>34336She ain't Torc's waifu. You guys just said it so much so I stoped denying it
He reconsidered after the "date"
>>34337>Slovrnia is in fact being adorable, as per usualD'aww!
HUGS PONY!
Now let's test out the equipment with targets, preferably structures or walls. And with exotic ammunition as well
>>34341>*Sharp pain in the back of the brain*Okay, now I actually have to go.
Tracy decides to g check on her Nithing pole on the road to Cardishore and then makes her way towards the city.
>>34342Let GM have just one weekend off after three months. Or at least consider taking another character
>>34345Fair, but you know they're not just going to keep a pile of knives out at the security area "In case they come back",... odds are they've been rid of by now.
>>34345like why are the knives suddenly critical now?
>>34348>odds are they've been rid of by nowReeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!Muh meme knives!
I'll take the liver of the customs managing directer. instead if that's the case.
>>34349I always wanted them, I just finally got sick of waiting to go get them...
>>34350They actually
say dark and edgy? That's pretty,... nevermind.
>will REALLY have to go soon
Can the Entertron repair magical status affects, like energy drain and curses?
>>34353Like I don't know what you're thinking
>>34355Energy drain fucking sucks, so I want to know before I roll a 1 with those claws.
>>34356>stands thoroughly correctedA paladin or cleric can restore energy drains
\r
>>34356I'll cross that path when I get to it
>>34357This
>>34328I actually looked, and just as I was about to give up (most "Dark Elf Ahegao" involves tentacles) I found this. You're welcome. The colors are off, but do the math.
>>34358Is it harder to summon the help of a Paladin or cleric than it it is to get to the entertron?
>>34350From what we know of the story, Cardishore is a center of enemy activity, probably as more or even more than the Court City. ho knows what you could encounter. All sorts of magic barriers and other things are possible.
I kind of want my character to infiltrate by disguising himself as seeking to host a reality TV series....
>>34359>No hoovesNot as sexy as some of the other options available
GM plz gib somethin to do
>>34364Tracy's faggot isn't here
>>34365Wanna come plan out military strategy and test out trebuchets with me?
>>34361You could always go to the whorehouse, they have whores and Fight Club
>>34368Torc isn't a fan of whores but he'll take fight club
>>34368I should probably go ask some essential questions of that one pirate we revived. I imagine he wondered over to his natural habitat of the Tavern
>>34359Can it repair magick affects though.
Also, can Tracy still go check her Nithing Pole, and make her way towards Cardishore? I want her to go, even if she can't enter.
>>34360What if the Paladin and Cleric we're incapacitated? I just want to know what it's capable of.
>tfw socially obligated to sit through two-hour concert. >>34361Make us some items/scrolls.
>>34371But I need to talk to her...
>>34374I'd assume it can't cure Geas, because if it could, the Thez would have have her's removed by it by now. I'd assume curses function similarly, and so can't be removed by it. As for negative level drains, I am really not sure
>>34374Alright.
When Tracy gets back, does anyone want to help me kill and revive that Triceratops 6 gorrillion times?
>>34381Boredom will make yous do things
>>34382Torcuil needs a hobby. Like how Tracy has her birds, Infernius has Thez, and Trumpaladin has Football and Deal Making. I think Tracy's faggot had a good idea about making scrolls
>>34383Yeah, but scroll making is less of a hobby and more of a job.
>>34383Well now, there are mass-production machines down in the 'basement (the area between the top and 'bottom' pyriamid, AKA the forge) for making scrolls and potions in quantity, as well as a number of other machines that are more specialized and particular than the ones in the library
do NOT ask me "What kind of machines", rather ask "Is there a machine that does blurrrr" >>34386Is there a mchine that does blurrrr?
>>34387There are many machines that do blurrr
>>34386So if I am understanding you correctly, I can ressurrect all of the pirates, have them work at the machines producing items on commission, then sell the items at a special Trump Magical Item retail outlet that fills the void left over by the Drow being kicked out of town, trade a substantial portion of the items to Sparintenar for their manufactured items, and then sell those items in Port barry or where ever we can ship them to?
>>34387I think you're going to have to go to Krenshall for that
>>34389That's correct, though you'll need a certified magical technician to calibrate and maintain the machines. The machines are - for the most part - a hook allowing players to be creative about getting around limitations on crafting and item production. Nothing
too fancy, there'll be no mass production of uber-ness +80 swords of murder, but mass-producing masterwork swords is feasible.
