With Nuts of course.

Happy Holidays to everyone! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Yule, Hearths Warming, or some other degenerate (Kwanza) or (((unspoken))) tradition, I hope you have a safe and 'as happy as possible' holiday season as you no doubt maneuver in and out of the world of normies and others!
I have no idea if any crucial gaming will occur weekend, but its about to get funky-fresh on several fronts. We last left Torcuil trying to navigate through Krenshal for someone skilled and crazy enough to build a Robo-ponk. Trumpaladin and Tracy were getting their things together to hunt a Unicorn with Elway's blessing and direction. Thez is being a little bit emo (its the hormones) while Infernius continues being a dutiful and upstanding guy.
What will happen next, and in what order? Will the players defy GM's careful designs for the umpteenth time? You can bet on that!

She was more than one round away, but her dice roll side-stepped the efficacy of her action.
So Tracy hovers-ish across from Ruth Bader Ginsberg along(?) with,....
Thez and the Fight club secured aspects of the town, while Infernius observed the giant pile or poo divide and segment into a few dozen piles of poo, which quickly and angrily look at him.

The Horse Shoes of the Peerless steed, combined with the already high bonus from being a Paladin's mount or Cauchemar, make Tracy basically immune to compulsion spells even from God-tier spell casters.

All personel with ranged attacks - spartan, generals, and cute sex horse - who are not essential to hold the line, are to target undead between RBG and Trumpacy, as well as around them. Fae is to engage undead on the bridge, as reasonable to hold the line

Charge if possible. If not possible, I guess do ranged attacks, but you're in range of her spells, so you're basically waiting for her to kill us while we can't attack her with melee

"Get me closer. I want to hit her with my sword.

No really, almost all of our ways of harming her require us to get within ten feet. I could probably kill her in a single round with a buffed enough Paladin's lay of hands, but I need to touch her"

Last Night, while going through sources on the internet, I discovered that Characters are supposed to recieve a new ability point every four levels. This means that every character, including Tracy, can add another point to an ability, now that they have achieved the 16th level.
Tracy's Int an Cha scores are both odd numbered, meaning she gains a modifier point on either if one more point is alloted to it

Tracy also has an odd numbered Dexterity score, meaning she gains +1 to her AC, +1 to her ranged attack score, and +1 to her chain attack score/rapier attack score if she gets the weapon finesse feat, if just one more point is allotted there

Because a cloak of charisma adds from +2 to +6 to a Cha score, whereas a Cloak of resistance adds from +1 to +6 to savings throws. Basically he could get the same bonus from a +3 resistance cloak as an epic tier cloak of charisma

Yeah, so why not just go for higher Char, and use that bonus to also count towards Lay On Hands, Diplomacy, Leadership, etc? Tracy made one for him, but she just dyed it black and used it on herself after she saw he got another one.

Can we just give feats to our animals? I thought it takes a year to train a magical beast to do one thing?

Can he's still use it for the Paladin's Lay of Hands attack? A +2 cloak would do 16 HP damage.

I think I asked for both a Cloak of Charisma and a Cloak of Resistance, so maybe both?

Well, Fae is a magical beast, which should help her. I'm going to try to advance her as much as GM will let me. There are Feats specific to monsters that Fae can take that I want for her

I believed and continue to believe that that Rapier of Puncture is perfect for Tracy. With the weapons Finesse feat, as well as the 5e version of the shape shifter's armor or a skillful placing of ability points, Tracy could have a +5 dexterity bonus to attack as well as the sword's +2 bonus for +7, besides the sword's special attack.

Apparently Infernius already promised the sword to someone else. But Tracy is a neutral evil thief. She doesn't give a shit about any promises to anyone, with the possible exception of her betrothal, and she certainly wouldn't care for an agreement she wasn't party to.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? It takes a whole year to train a magical beast, while it only takes one week to train an animal. Animals may have low Int, but they're trained to exploit those slots much more easily than magical beasts; that's really the only excuse for giving them such low Int in the first place.

It also requires an Epic Check in Handle Animal. How many ranks did you put into that? Paladin's (and Blackguards) have that skill for the sake of training their horses, which only require a 15-20 DC to train.

Now let me advance my NPC mount the way you normally advance an NPC

>It belongs to Darkie
Are you playing a lawful Good character? If yes, then please cut the "kill the unicorn" bullshit. If no, then please stop being a hypocrite and moralizing

>Not taking a chance with a higher level thief
Then will you please make Tracy not take her chances against a higher level Wizard, a Higher level Cleric, and possibly a god-level monk while trying to kill a demi-god unicorn?

Animal Companions are special NPCs, like Paladins's mounts.
You can own/train as many creatures as you have time to Handle, although it takes time to manage them. Rearing them from birth makes it easier.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time, I'm just wondering if that'll work, since I'll gladly jump on that opportunity if it's allowed.

Well, the Holodeck I think requires an intelligent creature. Birds could be trained, but probably can't train themselves

>Entire Party at once
Infernius always white knights, always, and now Torcuil is joining the mix Thank you Torcuil, she deserves someone to fight for her. I'll believe that Tracy can fight Torcuil, snek, and Trollestia all at once and win if Trumpaladin and Fae are fighting on her side, but throw in Infernius and it's no longer a fair fight.

She'd be much smarter to give it up, to delay a week, or to make a deal

Well, I have been sadly, and unintntionally projecting myself a bit on the Troll/Torc relations.
I didn't really understand the point at first, so I blew it off. In reality, Troll has shown if a somewhat strange and perverted affection for Torc. This would lead the hermity old Torc to fall head over heels for Troll, because of his solitary background.

I would say yes, but the point is that it takes a literal 40 to 100 hours of doing something in order to get the feat. It's not super cheap, it's just obtainable

>Literal cuckholdry
How is that literal Cuckholdry? As I understand the meaning of the term, it means "a person whose partner has had sex with someone else besides the person while in the relationship." No one is having sex in most possible deals, so where is the cukholdry?

>Let her get there first

Nevermind the romantic aspect. If a demi-god unicorn agrees to be your "steed and ally," you say yes
