Well, the party has gotten some things in order and has made some arrangements and plans to attack Court City in full and not as a half-assed rescue mission because of a brain worm. Speaking of brain worms, the party just kinda shrugged their shoulders and forgot about that whole "Infernius going insane and running off" bit. Hmmm. Oh well. But anyway, everyone's got some ideas and plans to put in motion. Its too bad that Port Barry is currently surrounded one 4 fronts,... that's going to complicate things.
Welcome back to the Game thread, there's over 3 dozen of 'em by now, so pardon me if I skip the introductory formalities. If you want to join, or perhaps just join in on the shitposting cuz bored, feel free. I'm working on a metric to allow new players to get in without having to go through the process of full-on mapping out a character.

>>38185Epic Spell seeds. The uber spells you use to create giga-uber spells and rituals.
like how
Life is a seed for
Gathering Of Maggots.https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Life_(Epic_Spell_Seed)https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Gathering_of_MaggotsWhen will our caster be able to cast spells of this magnitude?
>>38185GM, as a completely hypothetical question that will probably never leave meta, what gods would match a Blackguard Trumpaladin?
>>38187>reading intensifiesI had been going off a homebrew idea for rituals,... which is now going into the trash,... again,... but that's fine
>gathering of maggotsHow lovely
>>38188Well, Hextor for one
>>38187>Can animate inanimate objectsI feel like that's a perfectly neutral power that I would be sorely tempted to use for evil
>>38189Who else!
Also, why do you say that?
I kind of want to know how you or others interpret my character >>38193Liches really can't compare. Worms are Eldritch tier.
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Worm_That_Walks >>38198I was using the idea of a ritual,... contrived and specialized for a particular purpose. I didn't say it was a GOOD idea,....
>>38196He means a permanent spell rather than one that lasts a few hours
>>38196Polymorph doesn't grant any extraordinary or spell-like abilities though. And it's not permanent.
Transform permanently changes one creature into another.
>>38199Did it require insane spellcraft checks?
>>38200>>38201could it change a minotuar into a hoo-man?
Some of these Rituals are insane.
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Dragon_Strike>summon 10 adult red dragons>10!>>38202Why would you ask that? And yes.
>>38200>shrugsI'd have gone with Polymorph and Permanency in that event, but either works.
>>38201That depends on the player proposing it. If the player says "I wanna do a thing", higher. If the player says "Character is going to perform a ritual to produce the following effects. The components and accessories include (blah) and would incorporate (blur blur)." then less.
>>38203>summon 10 dragonsSounds like a good way to get eated desu
>>38202With a good check, you could probably develop it pretty soon.
>>38205That idea feels kind of better, desu. I like the idea of non-casters being able to create certain effects through careful planning.
>>38207It's too expensive for any party to cast though. It takes 11 casters contributing 9th level spell slots.
>>38212No ritual of that power could possibly come without sacrifice.
>>38203well i was thinking of turning hoo-man
>>38216to truly experience being aryan.
>>38217There's so many ways I could respond to this
>Inb4 Ayran Infernius plays out Flowers for Algernon in his human form
>>38222>>38221ive never read it give me a basic gestalt.
>>38215Would you be willing to permanently alter Tracy's base-species into a hoary steed, so she can be all ghost-pony all the time?
>>38224Just take the Half-long racial base
>>38224i would but i dont think certain party members would like it.
>>38225You mean like the half-dragon?
>>38223Dumb guy gets crazy mind-hax. Learns mind-hax are temporary. Runs away. The end.
>>38220Ikr...
>>38217He's a Heck bull: one of the last of his kind. Wouldn't it be a shame to give that up?
>>38223Flowers for Algernon is a book about a mentally retarded man who agrees to be a test subject in an experiment to increase IQ. The experiment successful raises his IQ all the way to superior or even genius level. It's been a while since I read it (eleven years) so I can't remember all of the plot, but I believe he undergoes a sort of loss of innocence thereafter, or starts to be disliked by others. The book ends with it being discovered the treatment slowly fades and kills lab rats, with the man losing his intelligence and probably destined to be killed by or left even dumber by the treatment
>>38230ill develop a aryan to heck mintuar spell first.
Also there is a bunch of introspection about how when one behaves in a particular manner others grow accustomed to it, though their manner of accustom doesn't necessarily fit the individual's, and how deviating from those customs cause strive and an upending of previously established norms,....
>>38230He could undo it I bet you
>>38228I don't see it.
Anyway, a hoary steed is basically exactly what regular Tracy is, a small blue-ish horse, only it's Ice type.
>>38232>Inferinus spends weeks developing a god-tier spell to change his hair color, even when he's already the bovine equivalent to an Aryan>10 Int>>38234Those spells are expensive.
