RP Thread. Its D&D mixed with shitposting. Classic (flexible) rules, and more autism than you could shake a whole group of autists at, even if you did so autistically. New players area always welcome, whether continuing, one-time, or 'just shitposting'.

Welcome back to the ahem 'Bathhouse', a progressive thread that I'm sure plenty of anons wish would just fucking die already. What, its true,....

This particular beginning is heavily seasoned with enthusiasm and delight. Hot on the heels of killing a bunch of We Wuz, the party almost shattered for several reasons, both in-game and out. In spite of it all, the characters continue on their quest to do,... well,... stuff.
Trumpaladin has been gifted a quest from Lord John Elway. Infernius has been gifted a quest from the Fuhrer, Tracy wants to stab more shit, Torcuil is beginning to get clever with his use of Snek not like that you perv and Thez is thanking her lucky stars that she even exists anymore.

Well, the dragons I want are ones that share my alignment and these are also the ones that have the ability to shape shift, which limits it to the third (sort of tied for second) most ebin dragon (besides bullshit like the force dragon) in the entire set of dragons, and the most ebin dragon subspecies in the book. This means that the two dragon subspecies I am interested in have high modifiers.

>>47693
Well, you have to have the leadership feat (and epic leadership to have leadership scores beyond level 25), and then leadership score is determined by character level plus charisma modifier and a few other modifiers, but the leadership score allows you to attract a cohort of up to a certain effective character level. You can have a cohort of up to two effective character levels lower than your current level, but never higher.

effective character level is not the same thing as hit die, since many races have features that make them more powerful or capable per hit die than others. The two lawful good dragon species have very high adjustment modifiers, so that means a pretty strict limit on the number of hit die he can have in a cohort.

A character can try to attract cohorts of specific races, classes, and alignments.

I want her to have a small establishment in the woods, looking over a wide fenced portion of the grove which she's designated as her land. Animals she owns would be allowed to graze there.
I didn't think of a name, desu. I mostly wanted land, rather than shekels. I guess just saying "Tracy's Grazing Space: Trespassers will be stabbed on sight" was kind of my idea at first, but that feels kind of stupid in hindsight... I'll think of a name.
My primary goal was the acquisition of land and animals. The land being for her personal use primarily (ponies like having land).

Just for the hell of it I decided to roll for Fae's treasure - since new NPCs are supposed to have a standard set of equipment when they join the party, and when it's a monster with a CR rating, you use the monster's treasure instead - and I ended up with a scroll that has two "waves of exhaustion" spells on it. A spell that does pretty much exactly what the Dragonne breathe weapon does

It's a Charisma-based will save though, so it'd still effectively have the same mechanic.
It's definitely not a Breath Weapon: it'd allow a reflex save in that case.

Few creatures have that ability, but I doubt any creature unable to hear the roar would be affected. It probably wouldn't affect any deaf creature, or a sonic-immune creature like a Destrachan (fucking love Destrachans btw).

Considering that it's will-based, it really doesn't matter if you call it a breath weapon or not. The Roar by itself is it's own ability. I just thought it'd be treated just like a howler's roar.
Sonic attacks are great. Too bad so few of them are ally exclusive. Great spread though.

It's a 6 point strength and Dexterity drain for all creatures within 30 feet that fail their saving throws. If I cast Eagle's splendor on self and mount - or if she casts Eagle's splendor on herself when she levels up - then the save DC on her roar rises by another two points

Yes and no. He's an 11HD creature, but hasn't gained sufficient experience to advance to level 1 as a Rogue. As a familiar, he gets +9 to his Natural Armor, and has a de-facto intelligence of 14. As a familiar also, he has a default HP of 1/2 Torcuil.
BTW, Torcuil gets +2 on his bluff checks.
Level 0 means that the character has begun to learn the basics of the class, and gets minimal (very) abilities of the class.
Thez for example, declared level 0 Sorcerer. Because of her Charisma bonus she can cast 1 bonus 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level spell per day, but she only knows one 0 level spell (Dancing Lights). So she can cast Dancing Lights a bunch of times.
In a comparable manner, Snek would have minimal initial skill points to apply (level one is (8+Int)x4, probably <1/2. Additionally he wouldn't yet be able to sneak attack, etc.
