Hehe yeah, most modules are written for 4 or 5 PCs. They're going to have to go way off script for the encounters with this bunch. :)

Having 8 pcs means our average party level is 7 instead of 6. that means an average monster encounter is 7, challenging is 8, hard is 9, epic 10.

An example of a possible epic battle would be a cr 9 monster with 2 cr 5 side kicks.

a cr 8 encounter (challenging) could be 2 cr 6 or 3 cr 5. That is fr a normal game. however with mythic it may be a bit different.

Mah gahd, 8 players and you guys would welcome a 9th? :3

I'm assuming the DMs are stacking the deck in preparation for the inevitable fallout. ;)

We do expect some attrition, but we I have some experience with 8 player pbp, so it should be fine. We will be cranking up the encounters to 11...

What he said!! :-o

I've been reviewing Lia. Overall looks good and I am ready to approve her pending ML's review. I did not a couple of issues. The biggest is that both Riftwarden Orphan and Arcane Temper provide Trait bonuses to concentration checks. Those will not stack. They do provide other benefits so you need not change them, but you'll only get the larger +2 bonus from Riftwarden Orphan.

Given the nature of the adventure you really should pick a deity.

Have a name and gender for your familiar?

You don't list CMB (+2 I believe) or CMD (15 I believe).

You haven't taken so much a dagger for martial combat. Is that intentional or have you just not finished shopping yet?

A description would be good.

Now the good stuff. I like the background!

You may add 5 permanent hp and +2 to any skill. Please add the following to your Riftwarden Orphan trait:
Riftwarden Orphan (Archmage): The PC gains a +4 trait bonus on caster level checks to penetrate a demon's spell resistance. Once per day, she can recharge a charged magic item by expending one use of mythic power. Doing so adds a number of charges equal to 1d10 + her mythic tier to the item, up to its normal maximum number of charges.

Might want to use some of your remaining cash for a wand...

Oh and as Shayuri mentioned earlier, mage armor and bracers of armor both provide an armor bonus and thus do not stack. An amulet of natural armor will stack, but of course it costs more.

I get the feels that running the game like a 4e game, that is, battles are set pieces rather than a room-to-room slag (though I guess 4e modules did both), could make for some cool fights.

Also, if we're Mythic characters, does that mean we should be expecting Mythic fights? We talking like Hercules-style hijinks? Because that would be amazing.

Also also, I don't grok the Mythic rules AT ALL, so I'm going to make a standard PC and would require some help after that.

I will likely stick with Halfling Bard, though which dials and toggles I fiddle with are undecided as yet.
