The latest installment of the Game, which has Tracy getting in line for heaven knows what. Trump, Torcuil and Trump are quickly,... not getting there 'cuz Trump tower only actually moves at an oxen-pace.

The flowcharts give her structure: the mess of different paths are her "mind" per say. I can still nudge it in any direction, or ignore the charts altogether, but I prefer to keep her in character (so it's not me making the decisions; it's her). They also give a rational order to the mind of a seemingly irrational character.
I work hard to make this fun.

Tracy's faggot is to tired and lazy to write it out, but assume Tracy dug up the golem parts and dumped them in the crafting area, some time later in the next couple days after she woke up.
She did it when nobody was looking, in stealth.

Okay, after looking into the prestige classes, it's actually just bullshit for Tracy to level up as a Slayer and Elocater while being something else because of the "Powers Known" trait: she could take the classes, but she'd have to choose which abilities to manifest.
Guardian Paramount was the class the Flowcharts call for in the Good Ending, so forget about the Spring Attack feat and take the Feats of Blinding Speed, Superior Initiative, and Lightning Reflexes.

BTW, I totally nerfed the Soros fight. It was gonna be long and drawn out, and super exhaustive/ing, but when we got to him I found that I was super exhausted. It would have been a battle of attrition, but even if ppl died they would have lived cuz Thez has the random stick. I was gonna make everyone work for it, but the outcome was kinda inevitable anyway cuz Thez is herself a Deus Ex Machina.
Now, Lenos is still around (he's no slouch), and Slag is somewhere in the periphery, but from this point on there are no safety nets. Trump tower has an Entertron which heals/revives anyone placed in it (but you're still hungry), and Trump will probably want to get to work throwing deceased civilians in there. That said, I'm going to be getting more creative with these sessions, as I won't be split between deciding what Thez wants to do while determining what is happening.

Basically, the players have about 3 weeks of 'interim' game time to decide what developments they want to apply to their characters, and what additions they want to apply to the world and their environment. As port Barry is rebuilt, new buildings, stores, and resources can be made to order (within reason) and established. Players can rp or describe what is/will/has happened, whichever they prefer. Also, though there are 2 rules expressly forbidding it, word around the Port (especially in light of last night's events and the sudden participation of the ne'er do wells) tells of a Fight Club, something Thez started weeks ago when the party first liberated the city from the rats. ^_~

That would certainly impress them, but since they don't have a Queen anymore and aren't working to keep her safe/cozy/pregnant all the time (not to mention catering to her every whim cuz mind control), they would not be opposed to a side project.

Well, its a booth, and whoever is put in it is restored to life and full health (eliminating status ailments, etc.). Its basically an instant revive, except at least one person has to be alive enough to get anyone there (so if everyone dies, GM has to get creative) putting the ball more in the players' court.
The ants can be conscripted to do labor, in fact that's what they're good at. For a larger-scale project they would probably require some sort of incentive or remuneration, and also note that they don't know the first thing about aesthetics.
Alot of the damage is superficial, with over half the buildings showing fire damage. Still, some of the inner buildings have been entirely reduced to rubble. The sticky wicket has been entirely spared, because Thez liked the place and performed an unhallow on the place (so when invading, the demons and devils were like "Hey, this place is kinda nice. We'll leave this one"), as is the Rusty Duck, which was a rallying point for many of the civilians and a point from which the people began to fight back. Also the brothel was untouched, as well as the rich neighborhood simply 'cuz there weren't really any people there (no victims = boring).

Thats a broad topic, so I'll give a quick rundown.
Monsters and creatures are designed to be, right out of the book, <blam> there's a thing. It doesn't incorporate history, etymology, conditioning, etc. For the most part, they're there to get owned on. Advancing a creature is not dissimilar to advancing a player or character, in that experience and circumstance allows the creature to refine its self. To be quite honest, given Fae's participation in recent events, I'm not opposed to giving her a level as a fighter or another mundane (no bully) class.

Good question! No. Thez' spell (wish, its a Pit Fiend thing) was particular to full-on outsiders, and while Tracy has developed outsider traits, she is still quite natural-ish-for-Tracy. So yes, there is a 'taint' of outsider to her, but no that does not compromise her ability/nativity to the environment.

Why is she so eager to lay an exclusive claim on Trumpaladin but so uneager to be waifu material? Oh well. The hot new unicorn can stay in the heavily guarded areas of Trump Tower, and give public speeches that she plagiarizes from Twilight Sparkle. And if Tracy succeeds, then at least Tracy will have committed an aggravated felony, and so can have her visa revoked and be deported back to the outside regions

>GM never answered his request for advice
As far as I can understand, Paladins don't exactly multi-class (epic paladin is already best class though), but they can take prestige classes. Being as how your character is based on the President of the united states, who (((some))) would call a populist, I'd suggest going for the epic prestige class of High Proselytizer for maximum leadership (could command armies of converts), and dedication to football-related spells. Another class could be Divine Emissary (probably better for combat and spells), although it seems like it'd take a bit of planning to meet the requirements.

(Both of those classes would be perfect for Infernius too as a cleric, if he hadn't wasted all his feats on force powers without even taking a psionic class, instead of honing his dedication to Hitler)

I get where you're aiming, and you're not far off, but can I suggest that you're more fixated on the destination and may be overlooking the origin? I mean, it is good to be ambitious and you present some grand ambitions, but these things take time. I'll go ahead with "this has begun, but is a long way of reaching fruition".
