Heroes, Inc. : Rasheman

Maggie says "It is not that they Thayans lack that capability, but that they lack the capability to tranit the information to large numbers of people who cannot be fooled by simple illusions and canvas the whole city looking for us. The average patrol won't be able to pick us out."

"Hmmm...", Timrin continues, not yet defeated, "but these patrols will be out in force and most likely stopping everyone out of place and asking for those damned papers."

"Besides, what do we need to do that forces us to be out and about anyway? I'm sorry Shando but there is no way we can go back and pick up our goods and go about helping the poor now. They will be all over that."

"True, but we can still reconnoiter the city in some other fashion. We still do not have anyone tasked with inspecting the Thayan forces and other internal defenses. If we do not plan on fighting, we could gain some advantage from invisibility or other magicks. I doubt there is much we can do from here."

OOC: So, in effect, Shando is correct.

You are immune to mind reading, alignment detection, and lie detection. You are not immune to scrying, see invisible, true seeing, etc. Basically, you are immune to anything that looks inside your mind, but not stuff used to see you and find you. I find it rather ironic that high-level exalted characters have perhaps the best pro-deception ability in the game, considering that many do not ever decieve. It blocks most slepps that let people see the truth, and cannot be dispelled, suppressed, detected (non-magical so no aura) or defeated in any way, since its an Ex class ability. If you want to keep it, you can, but if you want, you can swap it out for permanent Ex class ability nondetection.

Huh. Matt? Alethia is one level away from being able to take the sainthood template. Any ideas on that? I'm willing to work with you on it.


Here are the saints abilities:
[sblock]
Armour Class: A saint gains an insight bonus to AC equal to the characters Wisdom Bonus

Holy Power (SU): The save DCs of any and all of the saints special attacks, including spells as well as spell-like, supernatural and extraordinary abilites are increased by +2

Holy Touch (SU): A sait's entire being is suffused with holy power, which likewise flows into any weapon the saint wields. A saint's melee attacks with any weapon (or unarmed) deal an additional 1d6 points of holy damage against evil creatures and 1d8 points against evil undead and evil outsiders. Any evil create that strikes a saint with a natural weapon takes holy damage as if hit by a saint's attack.

Spell Like Abilities: at will: guidance, resistance, virtue and bless. A saint's caster level is equal to its Hit Die Total. The save DCs are charisma based.

DAMAGE Reduction (EX): 10/evil

FAST HEALING: Ech round, a saint heals damage equal to half its HD (including character levels to a maximum of 10 points healed). If the base creature already has fast healing, use the better value.

Immunities (EX): a saint is immune to acid, cold, electricity and petrification attacks.

Keen Vision (EX): saints have low light vision and 60ft dark vision

Protective aura (SU): As a free action, a saint can surround herself with a nimbus of light having a radius of 20 feet. This acts as a double strength magic circle against evil and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both cast by a cleric whose level equal to the saint's HD.

Resistances (EX): Saints have resistance to fire 10 and recieve a +4 racial bonus on Fortitude Saves against poison.

Tongues (SU): A saint can speak with any creature that has a language as though using a tongues spell cast by a 14th lvl cleric. This ability is always active.

Abilities: Modify the base creature as follows: Con +2, Wis: +2, Cha +4[/sblock]

OOC: Shando isn't a Saint. His abilities work a bit different due to the VOP.

Lol. It isn't all about Shando doncha know! I was referring to Alethia. She has two exalted feats already and upon the next level she'll have a third and therefor is technically qualified to have the saint template. Howsomever, it should be more than just feats, deeds as well. So upon her attainting sainthood, It should be spectacular.

I'll tihnk about it. Ideally, the key event could be defeating Abarax, the big bad corresponding to your Banesword, but I do not anticipate that happening all that soon (especially not before you level next, unless sometihng big changes). As a minor spoiler, I'll tell you he's not part of the Thay/Rasheman stuff, and that its likely that if you finish that stuff, you'll level, so unless you give up in Rasheman and leave (and I am not recommending that, I'm just saying thats pretty much the only conceivable way), and then somehow find Abarax real soon (also far from assured), you will not beat him until after you level. Thus, I am oging to try to think of another event.

Kayla sets out to meet Geberath Milshilar.

Alethia, Murdoch, and Dyria go to meet Marco back at his family's warehouse. He meets you alone, personally, outside. He says "Glad to see you back safely. I heard there was some excitement at a witch burning...I take it that was you? Representatives of the resistance will meet us at a safehouse on the east side of the city, near that little witch indicdent earlier today. Shall we leave?"

Meanwhile, Timrin, Shando, and Maggie apparently sit around at the Temple of Mystra, the latter continuously complaining about how unproductive it is to stay in.

Maybe defeating Abarax could be one of Naverone's final tests in ridding himself of the demonic taint? You know, resisting the lure of evil power, etc. He's doing a fair good job of it, but that sort of thing would be huge in the eyes of the heavenly powers. Hmmm. As for when she levels next, maybe she could get part of the package?

And his final ascention into angelic status as it were would be when they defeat the twice damned completely. Just a thought.

IC:
Alethia grinned at the smuggler. "Hey, you know us crazy demon hunters, we take the white knight errant more literally than paladins sometimes."

She chuckled. "Drives our paladin to distraction most times, cuz the less lawfully inclined of us, get a bit too enthusastic with it as it were." she shook her head. "Although, seems to me we might be rubbing off on him. He's the one who started it."

Taavi and Charissa stay back in the Temple with the others, both of them are very cheerful and very curious, asking questions to the temple priests, sometimes answering returned questions, running messages and generally being helpful when they can.

"Then no time like the present to start on those lessons in hand to hand combat Commander. Come with me please. You too Sir Timrin. I think we'll start with some warm up exercises....hmmm can't really get a run in stuck here in the temple, so pushups and sit ups will have to do..." his voice fades as he leaves the room.

Charissa zips up to Shando. She seems to be the shyer of the two, more soft spoken, less outgoing than her energetic partner.

"Taavi told me that you are a monk, yes? With monk abilities and they seem to be somewhat similar to ours. You called it chi. I've never heard it called that really. To us, it is simply the light of our goddess gracing us." she did a graceful figure-eight and hovered in front of his eyes. "Could you explain this chi to me? I would be grateful."
