[e20 PF] And with strange aeons...

[Aldern Foxglove]

OOC: Now gathering armies seems like a poor plan to me, even with crits they would be utterly ineffectual against a foe like the one we just faced because of its DR. An army is cumbersome and not maneuverable as fast as we need to move with teleportation, etc. So I suggest it would be a waste of time gathering one. Also a big tedious time sink OOC.

We could try to gather a few of the more powerful undead. After all, Malacarus does have the ability to command undead (thank you, unecessary pathfinder wizard buff!) and can currently raise mummies. I suspect that a few of you might be opposed to that IC.

EDIT: Also, I doubt think a force of shadows would care too much about DR.

OOC: I think that is going to be a pretty firm no. Thadeius would not want to do so, mostly because he does not think they are worthwhile. Gate in a few Solars if you really need backup would be his view. But personally I prefer to do without things like that they make the game duller and more cumbersome, I would rather just use our characters.

OCC: If mal does that, Xanfire does get to cast Undeath to death. Cause I dont see me using that otherwise...

Fitd: I can still pray in the common area correct?

Prepping an army

OOC: that is why i am trying to with hold these daggers. They bypass up to 20 hardness, RAW. And since hedon has adamentin arrows, he would know of the qualities of said metel.

 

[fireinthedust]

no point barring pc actions. 20th lvl means more responsibility.

granted, pc reactions are the groups job.

OOC: Just buy them adamantine stuff out of your share then Scott Dewar. I personally think it would be an exercise in futility, but if you do it you would probably be better of with arrows than daggers, as you don't want squishy types too near the foe, getting in our way, and arrows are x3 crit.

 

[Scott DeWar]

The way i figure it is this:
1 lb = 3000 gp
1 arrow = 60 gp
3000/60=50
therefore, 1 lb makes 50 arrows

We have seen mundane weapons by pass the dr of the diplomat, there may be a need for it later. If I buy 25 lbs, or in this case 25 dagger, heck, make it 50. that ould mean i could outfit 15 special purpose troops with 15 adamentine daggers and 50 adamentine arrows each.

or i could arm 48 "spec ops" yroops with a dagger each and 10 adamentine arros and ten normals arrows. this would cost 48 daggers to equip them and 48 gp of normal arrows. This would leave Hedron with two daggers for himself.

I can see either of these being doable.

Now as for crafting, i see in the skills that a complex or superior item has a dc of 20.
Hedron has a modifier of +30 and if he taew a te, it becomes +40. RAW states you can craft (DC*craft skill check0 in sp per day at 8 hours of work. it also mentions you can do 2 hours of work per day, so:

(20*40) = 800 sp per 8 hours or 200 sp of work per adventuring day. an arrow costs 610 silver pieces so it would take 13 days to make 2 arros at this rate.

Slow? Yes. Potentially very effectie weapon makes it ver worth it. IMHO If I can get a full day to work on it that is about 1 and 1/3 arrows per day of rest.

OOC: Or Thadeius could just fabricate them for you. But my point is you would be better off using regular adamantine. In fact you would be much better off buying a suit of adamantine armor and having that fabricated, or a heavier adamantine weapon like a greatsword. Buy an adamantine great sword for 3050gp that is 8lbs of adamantine, fabricate into 400 arrows - done. But lets not scupper the lucrative deal for something like that it works out far cheaper to buy some normal adamantine.

 

[Scott DeWar]

I still say taht this is somting that seem far too suspicious for them to want the whole batch and both of them at that.

Would that fall under knowledge nature? Appraise? Knowledge geograpy?
