Need to hear from IG if Undying Light is an acceptable patron (UA- https://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/02_UA_Underdark_Characters.pdf). If so, I've got some interesting character ideas. If not, Cthulhu. Because what is a little Strahd when someone has stared at Shub-Niggurath, the Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young?
I want to let you use Undying Light, but it just seems a bit overpowered to me. Specifically, the damage resistance and Searing Vengeance are my concern. I think I'm going to let you use it because I want to see it in action, but just know that I have my reservations.
I need to take a look at the Unearthed Arcana articles, too. I built Girri without them.
And I need to get [MENTION=23298]industrygothica[/MENTION]'s reaction to Girri's bladed scarf, which is a Pathfinder Curse of the Crimson Throne weapon listed in the player's guide for that adventure path. I think the 1d6 damage and weapon description (blades woven into the scarf) are probably ok, at least insofar as they're in line with other cleric weapons. But I'm feeling unsure about the 10' reach of the scarf, and would like DM input there. Not my intent to ask for special favors...it's hard on a DM when players do that.
I wonder if lowering the damage to 1d4 would balance it better. Add the finesse and reach properties, and it's basically a re-skinned whip, but we'll call it a simple weapon instead of martial so that Girri has proficiency. Does that seem fair to you?
