How impressive are 10th-level characters in this setting? Is the average sheriff's deputy in a one-horse town a 1st-level Warrior, a 1st-level Fighter (Trench Fighter), a 4th-level Gunslinger (Gunfighter)? Are we the best in a town, a city, some of the fastest guns to ever roam the Wastes? On a related note, how harsh are the Wastes, and how powerful the mutants and killer machines that roam it? Is it more of a 'badlands with mean predators, raiding tribes and magitech ruins that are dangerous to those who fuck with 'em but mostly benign otherwise' kind of thing, or closer to the unholy love child of Athas, Fallout and Attack on Titan? Expand on the laws of the Empire: are we expected to serve as hitmen for the Horologian Orthodoxy or anything else that would be grossly out of line with the 1850s-American roots of the genre? Was the War of Reconciliation six centuries ago the same war that scarred the surface, obliterated the unnamed Precursors, and consolidated the power of the Horologian church and Aetherian state? Or was that much longer ago? What would the average bright, well-educated person know about the Precursors?

I usually won't pick from that list, because... Technical Maintenance: A Technical Improvement from the Technician invention list can substitute for a Maintenance, and they'll usually be better. Rather than anyone but me suffering penalties to use the customized items, it's anyone but the person who it was customized for. Thunderous Blows: +5d6 damage when making an attack action or AoO on a construct or object, or when making a successful sunder attempt. Don't provoke AoOs for sunder: when sundering, excess damage is applied to the item's weilder. May make sunder attempts on natural weapons and natural armor, dealing normal weapon damage *without* the +5d6 to them: sundering a natural weapon imposes -5 to attack rolls for 1 round, sundering natural armor reduces natural armor bonus to AC by 5 (but not below 0) until any amount of magical healing or a standard-action DC 15 Heal check is applied. Skilled Craftsman/Reforge: Substitute Profession (blacksmith) for all Craft and Spellcraft checks made to create, modify, repair, and enchant weapons, armor and shields. +4 competence to all Profession (blacksmith) checks. Also, may restore 2 HP/level to an object as a standard action that doesn't provoke an AoO, removing the broken condition from it if that takes it above half HP. I need all the pieces for this to work. This works on magic items, but my class level must be equal to or higher than their CL. This ability does not affect creatures, including constructs. Objects warped or otherwise transmuted can't have these reversed. Nonmagical weapons, armor and shields that have been destroyed may be restored with this. Magical ones destroyed *by sunder attacks specifically* can also be restored with 8 hours of work at a forge. Spend 1 hour per effective +1 to an enchanted weapon, armor or shield to change it into another of the same type and material, of the same size or smaller- so Medium bastard sword to Medium scimitar, Medium greatsword, or Small dagger, but not greatclub or quarterstaff, and not Small dagger to Medium dagger. Or light wooden shield to heavy wooden shield or tower shield, but not heavy metal shield. Or plate to chain shirt, but not leather. Smithing Insight (2nd): Economic Crafting (Mundane items made at 1/4 cost, not 1/3: 10% magic item creation discount, which is also what I'll be using for Greater Craftsman and Gunsmithing, though arguments could be made for the mundane discount as written, some mathmatical equivilent thereof like a 20% discount, and no discount at all) Smithing Insight (4th): Mechanical Insight (Additional invention options) Smithing Insight (6th): Magic Craftsmanship (Gain the Master Craftsman and the Craft Magical Arms and Armor feats) Smithing Insight (8th): Greater Craftsman (May make permanent Inventions for gold, not just temporary ones: I'll treat this as magic item creation for purposes of Economic Crafting) Alchemical Ordnance/Gunsmith: Each day, infuse 15 rounds (Int-based) of ammunition as a free action, taking effect for 6 rounds. Such shots deal +5d6+10+1d4 [Int-based] fire damage, not multiplied by a critical hit or by using feats such as Vital Strike. This round deals full damage to a swarm of any size, and when using alchemical ordinance to make a scattering shot with a weapon with the scatter quality, each creature in the area instead takes 11 fire damage (Int-based). Anyone but me trying to fire a gun with alchemical ordinance in it increases that gun's misfire value by 4. If the firearm would explode as the result of such a misfire, the explosion deals additional fire damage equal to that of the alchemical ordnance. Alchemical ordnance is treated like an alchemist's bomb for the purpose of discoveries, though such discoveries ignore any effects associated with a bomb's splash damage or radius unless I also apply the exploding bullet discovery. A scattering shot modified by a discovery applies additional effects as though affected creatures were caught in the splash damage of a bomb rather than subject to a direct hit. The DCs of saving throws associated with alchemical ordnance are equal to 14 + Int mod. Alternatively, expend a use of alchemical ordinance as a standard action to remove the broken condition from single firearm I'm currently wielding, as long as that condition was gained from a misfire. Mutagen (Take 1 hour to brew a dose of hyped-up super-coffee: upon imbibing it, gain +2 to natural armor, +4 alchemical to Dexterity, one trait from any Alteration sphere talent which does not require a spell point to grant, and -2 alchemical to Intelligence for 90 minutes. A non-alchemist who drinks it must make a Fort save DC 20 [Int-based] or become nauseated for 1 hour, and can never benefit from it. Note: Camouflage for +5 to Stealth checks, Elemental Purity version of Fire Movement for base land speed 100' or Air Movement with fly (perfect) 100', Undead Resistances for +3 to lots of stuff, or Evasion is a good start) Discovery (2nd): Chemical Stability (Alchemical ordnance reduces misfire value of a firearm by 1 and ignores any increased misfire chance from an alchemical cartridge) Discovery (Bonus 3rd, feat): Immolation Bomb (Rather than +5d6+10+1d4 fire damage, alchemical ordnance may instead deal 1d6+10+1d4 fire damage per round for 5 rounds. A target can attempt to extinguish the flames by making a DC 22 Reflex save (Int-based) as a full-round action: rolling on the ground grants no bonus and immersion is not an auto-success.) Discovery (4th): Hedgewitch Secret (Amateur Hedgewitch: Spiritualism) (5e-style Advantage on Knowledge checks) Discovery (Bonus 5th, feat): Hedgewitch Secret (Extra Spirit) Discovery (6th): Hedgewitch Secret (Bodily Possession) (Net effect of this and the previous talent: Take a standard or move action to gain the benefit of two combat talents I don't possess for 9 minutes, or a swift action to get one. 2 talents per day.) Discovery (8th): Gene-Splicing (Adds the Alteration sphere talent to my mutagen) Cartridge Savant: Saves vs. alchemical Dragon's Breath, Entangling Shot, and Flare cartridges, [as well as Alchemy sphere talents applied to firearm ammunition?], are increased by 3, to a maximum of DC 22. Dragon's Breath shots increase damage dealt by my Int mod. Alchemical Expertise/Swift Alchemy: Alchemy sphere and Master Chemist as bonus talents, +9 competence to Craft (alchemy) checks and create alchemical items at double speed, use Craft (alchemy) to ID potions as if using Detect Magic if I hold it for at least 1 round. Apply poison to a weapon as a move action. Blacksmith talents: 9/9 Alchemist talents: 6/6 Martial tradition: 4/4, plus 2 (discipline) talents via Gestalt rules Bonus from Blacksmith: 1 Equipment talent Bonus from Alchemist: Alchemy sphere and Master Chemist ALCHEMY (formulae, poison) Master Chemist Improved Alchemist's Fire (formulae) Lasting Application Degenerating Poison (toxin) Painful Venin II Panacea (formulae) Salve (formulae) Elixir (formulae) Improved Tanglefoot Bag (formulae) Chemical Coating SNIPER Lethal Precision Hindering Projectiles (snipe) Tangling Shot (snipe) TRAP (Slow Worker sphere drawback) Bear Trap (snare) Persistent Trap DUELIST Perforating Wounds (bleed) FENCING SCOUT Somnambulance II Active Camouflage EQUIPMENT Huntsman Training (discipline) Outrider Training (discipline) Unarmored Training Racial Traits Race: Slavic Engineer from 1880 Reincarnated into Elf Body As Half-Elf, with alterations: Alternate Racial Trait: Dreamless Sleep Abilities: Flexible [2] Feat and Skill: Gift of Tongues [2] (Member of a multilingual, multiethnic state in a heavily multilingual Europe) Flexible Bonus Feat [4] (Human heritage) Movement: Terrain Stride (Urban) [1] ("You call this a city?

There are swordsmen and archers, martial artists and wrestlers, learned wizards and divine wonderworkers- but few gunmen, and very few of those not hauling around what I would recognize as some antique of a flintlock. Actual engineers are rarer still. It makes some kind of sense, I suppose- there wasn't nearly as much magic on my original world as most of you have. If learning the kind of secrets of the Universe that get you fireballs or zombies or a pet wolf the size of a bear is an option, maybe your best and brightest focus more on that and less on the kind that get you telegraphs and steamboats and smokeless powder. People like me aren't that common, but I've met a few. And what I hear...it makes me worry. As far as I can tell, no one's from exactly where I am- nobody's ever heard of the Federal Republic of Poland-Lithuania, the Hessian Empire or the Osman League, and ordinary Gatewalking doesn't seem to cut it to get there- but every now and then I meet someone from someplace a bit familiar. None of their homes the same as mine, exactly, nor any of them the same as each others', but Tanya, Yoshika and Walter all came from somewhere with a Europe I can broadly recognize, if I squint a bit. Thing is, Tanya said it was 1926, Walter and Yoshika said 1944- and all of them said their world was in the grip of a big damn war, a world war, with tens of millions dead and whole nations put to the torch. Walter and Yoshika said the second such war in just a few decades. And I left the Republic in 1885. And it's been ten years. I've put down vampire outbreaks, redesigned satyrs' distilleries, saved princesses from dragons (and once a dragon from a princess!), taught dwarves to make crucible steel, defended cities from rampaging giants. It's all been a grand adventure, and I'm proud of the good I've done for them all- but if the time's coming up for every world with a Europe in it to start tearing itself to shreds, maybe it's time for me to put all that experience to work in keeping a lid on that. Now all I have to do is to puzzle through forty pages of dogeared, decade-old mimeographed notes. Notes attributed to Baba Yaga. In Old East Slavic. In code. That have reliably produced disasters the last six or seven times I've tried. ...what's life without a challenge, eh?" Personality and Appearance: Pragmatic, ingenious, skeptical, a lateral thinker. He can be casually arrogant- generally not condescending, narcissistic or megalomaniacal, just overused to being the smartest guy in the room. He carries a battered old black-and-white photograph of a dark-haired fellow of late middle age with a formidable walrus mustache, a sharp gaze and a formal waistcoat- himself, before he made a hundred tiny cannon for a kingdom of fairies and was offered anything within their power in return. He asked if they could restore him to the prime of his youth- and they obliged with a Reincarnation. He's now altogether different- a foot shorter, wiry, blonde, more cute than dignified, and an elf. He does miss the mustache and being able to reach the top shelf, but considers it to have been a marvelous deal, on the whole. Jonas has a democrat's disdain for inherited status- an emperor is "Mr. So-and-So", same as a slave- but enough cosmopolitan respect for foreign ways of life not to get revolutionary about it unless it's obviously an evil empire.

Aaaargh. I'm terribly sorry to do this to y'all, but RL just doesn't want to slow down and I think I'm going to have to drop from this. My apologies.

Terribly sorry about my absence: my ass got COVID, then the rest of my family got COVID. Hasn't been a fun time. I'll have a post up by the end of the day tomorrow.

Statblocks with buffs available in current round LONG-TERM CL 25 casting of Greater Enhance Equipment on every item of weaponry except the grenades, another of Natural Enhancement on everyone's natural armor. Effect: +6 enhancement bonus to attack and damage and +6 to natural armor for everyone, lasting 25h CL 35 casting of the Invigorate ability of the Life sphere, augmented by Deeper Healing and Greater Invigorate. 86 temp HP for everyone, lasting 35 hours. CL 33 casting of Latent Healing (cure option)+Deeper Healing- everyone has one application of 6d8+33 HP healing they can activate as a swift action (WM Chance 220%, rolled upon use rather than upon buffing) CL 33 casting of Latent Healing (Invigorate option)+Deeper Healing- everyone has one application of 66 temp HP they can activate as a swift action (WM Chance 220%, rolled upon use rather than upon buffing) CL 25 casting of the Mind sphere talent Terrifying Mind- +5 morale against mind-affecting, +10 morale vs. fear CL 25 casting of the Protection (ward) talent Inner Peace- +4 morale against fear, emotional and mind-affecting, all such affects permit a save even if not normally allowed. If it doesn't normally grant one, default to (10 + 1/2 HD of attacker + attacker's appropriate ability mod) PROBLEM: Immunity to mind-affecting is immunity to morale bonuses. Edited to remove benefits. CL 25 casting of the Protection (ward) talent Mystic Shell- 3 layers, whenever a magical effect on me would be successfully dispelled, a layer is lost instead. CL 33 Contingency on the Tanya-self body: Warp effect. Whenever Tanya identifies an opponent using a Disjunction or Antimagic Field effect, teleport two miles straight up, leaving behind a beacon she can choose to teleport back to without spending an action at any point in the next 33 rounds. (WM chance 175%, reduced by -50% w/Careful Caster: WM effect doesn't happen until the Contingency triggers) CL 25 casting of Totem of Tactical Coordination, augmented by Monument and the Inspired Surge'd War sphere talents Penetrating Totems and Totem Merger, attached to the ornate, obdurium flagpole on a big 'ol concrete base kept in Visha's Enveloping Pit. Net effect: my allies within 25 miles of the flagpole never deal each other HP damage, and automatically succeed on saving throws forced by allies' effects- and the five-mile range applies to all other Totems cast.  Totem of Foresight: any ally attacking an enemy can pick two, roll an attack for each, and pick their target after rolling both. TEMP WHOLE-MAP BATTLEFIELD CONTROL EFFECTS CONTROL WEATHER 1, TICKING ON VISHA'S INIT A casting of Control Weather, base 25, +8 CL for +110% Wild Magic chance w/Tap Chaos, total WM chance 120%. [A use of the Wild Fire invocation is used off of the Tap Chaos to add +8 to attacks, saves and AC for 15 rounds.]. Two spell points have been spent on Greater Weather to allow three categories of weather to be affected at once, another point on Severe Weather to improve the severity level I can raise it to, and  another two on Radiation Lord to let me control Fallout- increasing Precipitation, Wind and Fallout to Category 7+2 at a speed of 3 level changes per round via the Tempestarii's Rapid Weather class feature. Three spell points have been spent via Climatic Shift to make it a permanent, undispellable effect replacing the natural weather, and this change in weather is effective to a 3,500' radius. One has been spent on Impossible Magic to make it uncounterable. 2 spell points have been spent on Baleful Storm. Once Precipitation hits severity 4, I can reanimate any number of corpses within the area as a move action without paying the Reanimate ability's base cost: they only last as long as the rain does. Such undead creatures will get a +8 enhancement bonus to their Dexterity via Superior Reanimation, and are raised as Fast, Relentless, Gasburst (Mustard Gas) Zombies via Expanded Necromancy. The wind is set to blow towards my opponent, bypassing the usual 1d4 roll to determine the wind's direction when releasing mustard gas from a gas cylinder. DCs to avoid being blown away in the area, to move against the wind when checked, and the wind-based penalty to Perception checks are increased by +16, and wind-based penalties to ranged attacks are increased by -8.  When lightning strikes begin when Wind and Precipitation hit severity 4, they happen once a round, not once a minute, and I can dictate where they go.  Via the Contamination Lord talent, once Wind and Fallout hit severity 4, the fallout ignores immunity to poison, ability damage, and ability drain. Creatures without Strength or Constitution scores take 8 points of fire damage for every point of ability damage that they would otherwise take. Damage done to objects by weather effects within the area is doubled: if the damage is area damage, it ignores the halving of energy damage that objects normally experience. All damage dealt by weather effects within the area is maximized. Via the Contamination Lord talent, once Wind and Fallout hit severity 4, the fallout ignores immunity to poison, ability damage, and ability drain. Creatures without Strength or Constitution scores take 8 points of fire damage for every point of ability damage that they would otherwise take. Damage done to objects by weather effects within the area is doubled: if the damage is area damage, it ignores the halving of energy damage that objects normally experience. All damage dealt by weather effects within the area is maximized.   CONTROL WEATHER 2, TICKING ON OVERMIND'S INIT PREVAILING WEATHER CONDITIONS: South-to-north Wind of Severity 4. -12 to ranged attacks with normal, but not siege, weapons, and -12 to Perception checks: Small creatures are checked and Tiny creatures blown away, barring a DC 26 Strength check on the ground or a DC 36 Fly check in the air: unprotected nonmagical flames are automatically extinguished, protected ones have a 50% chance to go out. Precipitation of Severity 4: An additional -4 to Perception checks for a total of -16, and range penalties -2 per 10 feet rather than -1. If you can outright ignore wind but not rain for some bizarre reason, you still suffer the same penalties to ranged attacks and Perception checks as the above, you just aren't checked. Unprotected flames are auto-extinguished, protected ones have a second 50% chance to go out. Wind+Precipitation: Storm conditions. A lightning bolt strikes in a square of my discretion 1/rnd, dealing 36 electricity damage- Reflex DC 46 half. Fallout of Severity 4: No immediate effect.  Category 5 Heat: No immediate consequences. Category 3 Ash: No immediate consequences. Category 3 Vog: All sight beyond 5' is obscured. Creatures within 5' have concealment. EVERYONE CL 35 Enhancement/Physical Enhancement effect, +12 enhancement to Dex+Con for 350 min overlapping with existing Dex/Con bonuses for an effective further +6. +8 untyped to all saves. Lasts 250 minutes for Squadron members, 3 more rounds for non-Squadron members. +6 deflection to AC. Lasts 25 hours for Squadron members, 3 more rounds for non-Squadron members. Magic Sink: any attempt to counterspell or dispel an effect on me must first roll against the Magic Sink, only rolling against the intended effect once this is a success. Cannot be itself dispelled. Lasts 250 minutes for Squadron members, 4 rounds for non-Squadron members. CL 33 of Mind (charm) talent Courage, Greater Charm version: +7 morale to attacks, saves and skill/ability checks (not magic skill checks) for 33 minutes for Squadron members and 4 rounds for non-Squadron members. PROBLEM: Immunity to mind-affecting is immunity to morale bonuses. Edited to remove benefits. CL 33 casting of Divination/Prescience: +3 insight to attack, expend as a free for +26 insight to one attack. Lasts 33 hours for non-resurrected squadron members. CL 33 casting of the Motif Swords: +3 to attack rolls, expend as a free action to ignore concealment and get +16 to confirm crits for 1 minute. Lasts 33 hours for non-resurrected squadron members. CL 33 casting of the Motif the Hermit: targets may Aid themselves for +10 as a swift action, can't Aid others Lasts 33 hours for non-resurrected squadron members. ALL NON-RESURRECTED SQUADRON MEMBERS (Visha, Tanya, Richtofen, the tank, and the three Mortar Troops) CL 25 Temporal Haste. +60' enhancement to speed, +3 untyped to attack, +3 dodge to AC and Reflex saves. +6 AoOs per round. One additional move or swift action per round. 25 round duration. CL 35 Clear Skies mantle from Weather sphere. Tenacious- harder to dispel. -5 steps to experienced weather severity. CL 25 Flight effect from Telekinesis. Fly 90' (perfect). CL 25 Decoy effect from Illusion: 10 decoy illusions exist, granting a 50% miss chance. Any miss caused by this destroys 1 decoy illusion. Not automatically negated by blindsense, blindsight, Detect Magic, echolocation, scent, lifesense, or tremorsense: True Seeing or thoughtsense will do it. THE GUN CREW AND REGIMENTAL MUSICIANS CL 35 Mana sphere effect: Bulwark. Two layers of Magical Barrier and two of Physical Barrier apiece. Magical Barrier: The next time a magical effect would affect your target, the caster must succeed at a magic skill check against MSD 43. On a failure, the magic effect excludes the target from its effects, otherwise functioning normally. Physical Barrier: The next time the target is attacked by a weapon attack, the attacker must succeed at a magic skill check against MSD 43. The attacker may substitute their CR (or total hit dice, if they possess no racial hit dice) for their MSB on this check. On a failure, the attack is deflecdted. This effect triggers before an attack roll is made. Lasts 35 minutes for Richtofen, and 4 rounds for the rest. Gun Crew #6-9: Down 1 Physical Barrier each Gun Crew #10: Both Physical Barriers down TANYA, VISHA AND THE OVERMIND The Overmind hosts a Flow manabond, using Tanya and Visha's spell point pools in preference to its own until they hit 2 spell points [just in case they're somehow cut off and need to save their own hides.] TANYA +8 to attacks, saves and AC for 15 rounds from Wild Fire Invocation 110' aura of updraft, imposing -17 to Fly checks [including her own!] and granting all creatures with Fly speeds the ability to hover regardless of maneuverability Deluxe Mage Barrier From Alteration traits (all for 25m): base movement speed to 150', Sprint (1/minute as a free action, increase one base move speed by 70'), ethereal, Ghost Touch, concealment in normal light, 50% miss chance penetrated by True Seeing, but anyone who does must make a DC 37 Will save vs. mind-affecting or be staggered for 1d4 rounds, airborne targets have -3 to attack and damage vs. her, +4 to hearing-based Per checks and -4 to saves vs. sonic effects +16 to Wis for 1 minute -16 to Stealth for 33 minutes from a cloud of undead insects following Pillar of light following Tanya at 110/rnd, will blind her if she ends her round within it Has the Verbal Casting tradition drawback Hostiles within 105' of Tanya make a DC 42 Will save vs. treating all Lawful Evil creatures (just her) as invisible, inaudible, and otherwise undetectable even with special senses for 16 rounds [Tia failed!] Auras, effectively my entire deployment zone and 110' from Tanya: Tug Fate. Rolls of a natural 10 get a +26 luck bonus, reroll one natural 1/round per instance. And Cat's Luck- natural rolls of 17, 18 or 19 are treated as natural 20s. Both last 33 rounds. The next time Tanya's targeted with an attack roll, everyone within 105' needs to make a DC 42 Will save or be confused for 1 round, and all hostile creatures make another or be panicked for 1 round.

The caster is not aware of this effect, and the benefiting creature may choose to not activate this ability if the effect does not satisfy them, instead waiting for a different one to apply it to. I think it's fair to treat any effect cloned onto Gun Crew 4 with a Manabond as cast on 'em, because I'm not directly targeting him much. The first thing Gun Crew 4 must do with his action next round is to close to an enemy and make a melee attack. Dead insects animate and follow Gun Crew 4 for 330 minutes, imposing -16 to Stealth for the duration.

Even if they made 'em, the bleed can be negated only through a magical skill/caster level/class level check against DC 35, or a DC 40 Heal check. If the target is undead or in any way vulnerable to sunlight, the damage is 275 + (25d8)*0.5 instead.  The blast hits ethereal or incorporeal targets as if they weren't, and is not subject to spell resistance. Traveler's Any-Tool Mess kit and canteen Handy Haversack Scroll-autoinjector A: As a swift action targeting only myself which can be accomplished even if normally unable to cast due to a condition which this could restore, cure 84 + (3d8 * 0.5) HP, heal all ability damage to any ability score as well as all ability drain to one ability score, remove 2 temporary negative levels or suppress 2 permanent ones for 8 minutes, and make a check at +8 against the CL of each negative magical effect that has a duration or can be removed with Break Enchantment or Remove Curse, dispelling it on a success.

This is not a positive energy effect and works on undead just as well as the living. Additionally, gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC and saves for 1 minute or until hit by the next attack or the next save is failed. Scroll-autoinjector B: As a swift action targeting only myself which can be accomplished even if normally unable to cast due to a condition which this could restore, cure 84 + (3d8 * 0.5) HP, negate the dazzled, shaken, frightened, panicked, confused, dazed, staggered, battered, fatigued, exhausted, sickened, or nauseated condition, as well as any temporary/magical removal of senses- and make a check at +8 against the DC of any poison or disease I'm suffering from to negate it as well. Gain DR 4/-- and immunity to any removed condition, poison or disease for 2 rounds. This is not a positive energy effect and works on undead just as well as the living. Additionally, gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC and saves for 1 minute or until hit by the next attack or the next save is failed. Scroll-autoinjector C: As a swift action targeting only myself which can be accomplished even if normally unable to cast due to a condition which this could restore, cure 84 + (3d8 * 0.5) HP, gain an immediate Escape Artist check at a +12 circumstance bonus to any applicable condition such as entangled or grappled, remove the stunned condition, and negate any lessening of a movement speed, removal of a movement type, or loss of the power of speech. If under a paralysis effect, make a check at +8 against it, removing it on a success. Gain DR 4/-- and immunity to any condition so negated for 2 rounds. This is not a positive energy effect and works on undead just as well as the living. Additionally, gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC and saves for 1 minute or until hit by the next attack or the next save is failed- and the next time a negative condition which could be removed by a Life sphere restore or Break Enchantment would affect me, it's delayed by 2 rounds before taking effect.  Scroll-autoinjector D: As a swift action targeting only myself which can be accomplished even if the damage it would cure killed me within the last 4 rounds, cure 84 + (3d8 * 0.5) HP, and gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC and saves for 1 minute or until hit by the next attack or the next save is failed.

Counterspell: Spend a spell point as a standard action to dispel a magical effect on a creature, item or location within 350'- or ready an action to counter a spell or sphere effect as someone casts it. When targeting a creature, item, or location, I can target a specific effect if I've ID'd it, otherwise the one with the highest CL is automatically targeted. Make a check at +31 against their Magic Skill Defense (levels in a spellcasting class + 11: permanent general bonuses to caster level like that of an orange ioun stone generally apply, and so do increases to CL specific to dispel resistance, like that of a Ring of Enduring Arcana. Temporary bonuses to CL, or bonuses to CL specific to a particular school of magic or spell, generally do not apply. On a success, the targeted effect is destroyed- or, in the case of a non-artifact magic item, suppressed for 1d4 rounds. When targeting a creature or object, I can spend an additional spell point to target an additional 5 effects, for a total of 6. Alternatively, I can spend an additional spell point to affect multiple effects in a 20' burst. Roll one check at +31 and apply it to every creature in the area [once], every object with a spell or effect active on it [but not permanent magic items], and every area effect with an origin in that area. Also roll to dispel area effects covering that area with an origin outside, but only dispel them for that area. Alternatively, I can spend two additional spell points to attempt to dispel every effect on every creature, every ongoing magical effect, and every magic item within 40'. This, uniquely, has a 25% chance to dispel an antimagic field. Permanent magic items dispelled this way have their benefits return in 1 minute, not 1d4 rounds. Alternatively, I can spend two additional spell points to target one item. I make a check at +36 against it: a success renders it permanently nonmagical. This has a 25% chance of working against artifacts, but if I do it, I need to make a DC 25 Will save vs. permanently losing all spherecasting and have a 95% chance of attracting unwanted extraplanar attention. Alternatively, I can spend an additional spell point to perform a counterspell as an immediate action. This one only works for countering an effect as it's being cast. Whenever I would counterspell an effect on a creature or object, I may instead choose to reassign its targets, taking over concentration for it if concentration is required: the effect's originator loses any ability to dismiss it that they may have had. Whenever I would counterspell anything, the caster suffers a 100% increase in their wild magic chance until end of turn. They are not aware of this increase.

No wide-area BFC during buff rounds, even if not damaging or hindering enemy at start of play! I'm putting a new Buff Round's worth of actions here without removing the last one so as to be able to use the old one as a reference. (S) denotes a Squadron member. Overmind (S) Standard: A casting of the Clear Skies mantle on squadron member Tanya: base CL 25, +8 CL for +110% Wild Magic chance w/Tap Chaos, +2 CL for +100% Wild Magic chance w/Wild Surge. One spell point for the base effect, another to mirror the effect across every member of the squadron via the Mass Command feat- reducing the effect's duration to an hour. She, and every other squadron member, treats the weather as five steps less severe. Another spell point has been spent on the Tenacious Spell metamagic, decreasing the effective MSB of a dispel attempt by 2 and ensuring that it lasts for 1d4 rounds after being dispelled or dismissed and increasing the casting time to a full-round action- and another two (reduced with Metamagic Enhancement) to bump the casting time down from a full-round to a standard action with Quicken Spell. Swift: CL 25 casting of the Time sphere Haste ability on squadron member Tanya: the Wild Magic chance of the casting has been increased by +100% with the Inspired Surge feat to gain the effect of the Improved Haste and Temporal Haste talents. A spell point has been spent to enable it to last 25 rounds without concentration, another for Temporal Haste to work and another to mirror the effect across every member of the squadron via the Mass Command feat. The casting has been decreased to a swift action with 2 spell points (reduced with Metamagic Enhancement class feature) Move: Use Directed Motion to grant all cohorts an extra move action that can only be used to move. Move 2 (Directed Motion): Swift 2 (Twist Time): Use Deluxe Mage Barrier sphere-like ability on Tanya-self. This breaks line of effect for anything that requires it until you chew through 290 HP, and requires a DC 49 Perception check to perceive: see the Other Notes section of my sheet for full details. Move/Swift 3 (Temporal Haste): CL 25 casting of the Flow manabond. One spell point spent to get it going, a second to permit me to target both my Tanya-self and Visha-self via Magical Conduit, and persists indefinitely at infinite range via Infinite Bond. Its ordinary effects are made pretty much irrelevant by the effects of the Vassalize talent, which permit the overmind to use the spell points of the targets as they were its own on spherecasting effects- which it does in preference to its own, since they're effectively lost if they're taken out. [Note: Switch out this one for the default Mystical Bond for free CL boosts, or maybe Inspired Surge up another.] Multispell:   Visha (S): Standard: Empty held Portable Hole, dumping its contents- 3,000 cubic feet of sand in sandbags, a great deal of lumber for concrete molds, duckboards, reinforcement of trench positions and miscellaneous construction, a few hundred pounds of iron nails and other odd metal reinforcements, and miscellaneous tools collectively amounting to a Trap Bag- and a 20-foot long, 2-inch thick flagpole flying a silk Imperial flag on a one-ton concrete base, shaped to be self-righting. Move: Draw Vortex Gun. Swift: Use Deluxe Mage Barrier sphere-like ability on self. This breaks line of effect for anything that requires it until you chew through 290 HP, and requires a DC 49 Perception check to perceive: see the Other Notes section of my sheet for full details. Swift 2 (Twist Time): A CL 25 use of the Alteration sphere Shapeshift ability on herself: the Wild Magic chance of the casting has been increased by +100% with the Inspired Surge feat to gain the effect of the Size Change and Size Mastery talents. A spell point has been spent to let the effect last 250 minutes without concentration, another to use Size Mastery, and another two to decrease the casting time to a swift action with Quicken Spell (cost reduced with Metamagic Enhancement class feature). This grants 1 trait (base) + 5 (1 per 5 CL) + 1 (Greater Changes) + 1 (Extreme Changes) = 8 traits. Trait 1: The Earth variation of the Elemental Movement trait of Elemental Transformation, giving me a 100' burrow speed and Earth Glide Trait 2: The Earth variation of the Elemental Movement trait of Elemental Transformation, using the option to boost a movement speed rather than replacing it to boost my Burrow move to 150' Trait 3: A Size Change to Fine Trait 4: The Dodge trait from Agile Trait 5: The Evasion trait from Agile Trait 6: The Initiative trait from Agile Trait 7: Darkvision 60' Trait 8: Low-light vision Move 2 (Directed Motion): Move/Swift 3 (Temporal Haste): Multispell:   Richtofen (Musician 1): (S) Move: Cast an instance of the Protection sphere ward Barrier, small enough to cover only himself and moving with him with Mobile Ward, with a spell point spent on it with Greater Barrier to give it 250 HP, a break DC of 35, and weight capacity 17,300 lb, with a spell point spent to allow it to remain for 29 minutes without concentration [via Enduring Protection] and another spent on Selective Barrier to make it one-way going out. The whole thing has Suppressed Spell applied with a spell point to make it require a DC 49 Perception check to perceive, including with Detect Magic or similar effects- or DC 37 if I don't have Atavism up.

(WM chance 110%) CL 33 Contingency on the Tanya-self body: Warp effect. A Chaotic Flexibility'd Distant Teleport + Unseeing Teleport and an Inspired Surge'd True Teleport+Recall effect combine to produce the following effect: whenever Tanya identifies an opponent using a Disjunction or Antimagic Field effect, teleport two miles straight up, leaving behind a beacon she can choose to teleport back to without spending an action at any point in the next 33 rounds. This takes up 3 spell points. (WM chance 175%, reduced by -50% w/Careful Caster: WM effect doesn't happen until the Contingency triggers) PLANNED 1ST-ROUND BUFF ROUTINE Recheck SP counts. Overmind (S) 24 SP Standard: A casting of Control Weather, base 25, +8 CL for +110% Wild Magic chance w/Tap Chaos, total WM chance 120%. [A use of the Wild Fire invocation is used off of the Tap Chaos to add +8 to attacks, saves and AC for 15 rounds.]. Two spell points have been spent on Greater Weather to allow three categories of weather to be affected at once, another point on Severe Weather to improve the severity level I can raise it to, and another two on Radiation Lord to let me control Fallout- increasing Precipitation, Wind and Fallout to Category 7+2 at a speed of 3 level changes per round via the Tempestarii's Rapid Weather class feature. Three spell points have been spent via Climatic Shift to make it a permanent, undispellable effect replacing the natural weather, and this change in weather is effective to a 3,500' radius. A spell point has been spent on Ectoplasmic Spell: the unnatural weather extends to the Astral and Ethereal and has full effect against incorporeal creatures. One has been spent for Disruptive Spell: to use a spherecasting effect or spell, anyone affected by a weather effect must make a Concentration check with a DC equal to that weather effect + 1/2 the CL of the sphere ability or spell. Three have been spent on Burrowing Magic: the unnatural weather ignores all barriers and there is no shelter against it. The casting time is increased to a full-round action due to my use of Metamagic effects, then decreased to a standard action with 2 spell points (reduced with Metamagic Enhancement class feature) and a use of Quicken Spell.   2 spell points have been spent on Baleful Storm. Once Precipitation hits severity 4, I can reanimate any number of corpses within the area as a move action without paying the Reanimate ability's base cost: they only last as long as the rain does. Such undead creatures will get a +8 enhancement bonus to their Dexerity via Superior Reanimation, and are raised as Fast, Relentless, Gasburst (Mustard Gas) Zombies via Expanded Necromancy. The wind is set to blow towards my opponent, bypassing the usual 1d4 roll to determine the wind's direction when releasing mustard gas from a gas cylinder. DCs to avoid being blown away in the area, to move against the wind when checked, and the wind-based penalty to Perception checks are increased by +16, and wind-based penalties to ranged attacks are increased by -8.  When lightning strikes begin when Wind and Precipitation hit severity 4, they happen once a round, not once a minute, and I can dictate where they go. Via the Contamination Lord talent, once Wind and Fallout hit severity 4, the fallout ignores immunity to poison, ability damage, and ability drain. Creatures without Strength or Constitution scores take 8 points of fire damage for every point of ability damage that they would otherwise take. Damage done to objects by weather effects within the area is doubled: if the damage is area damage, it ignores the halving of energy damage that objects normally experience. All damage dealt by weather effects within the area is maximized. Swift: CL 25 casting of the Time sphere Haste ability on squadron member Richtofen: the Wild Magic chance of the casting has been increased by +100% with the Inspired Surge feat to gain the effect of the Improved Haste and Temporal Haste talents. A spell point has been spent to enable it to last 25 rounds without concentration, another for Temporal Haste to work and another to mirror the effect across every member of the squadron via the Mass Command feat. The casting has been decreased to a swift action with 2 spell points (reduced with Metamagic Enhancement class feature) Move: Directed Motion: every cohort gets a move action which can be used only to move Swift 2 (Twist Time): Swift/Move 2 (Temporal Haste): CL 25 casting of the Flow manabond. One spell point spent to get it going, a second to permit me to target both my Tanya-self and Visha-self via Magical Conduit, and persists indefinitely at infinite range via Infinite Bond. Its ordinary effects are made pretty much irrelevant by the effects of the Vassalize talent, which permit the overmind to use the spell points of the targets as they were its own on spherecasting effects- which it does in preference to its own, since they're effectively lost if they're taken out. [Note: Switch out this one for the default Mystical Bond for free CL boosts, or maybe Inspired Surge up another.] Multispell: Use Deluxe Mage Barrier sphere-like ability on Tanya-self. Tanya (S) 9 SP Delays until after Visha if higher Initiative Swift: A CL 25 use of the Alteration sphere Shapeshift ability on herself: the Wild Magic chance of the casting has been increased by +100% with the Inspired Surge feat to gain the effect of the Cosmic Body and Star-Spawn Body talents.

This gets me to an altitude of 5,175 ft. Swift 2 (Twist Time): Use Illusion. One spell point to create a Glamer (of self moving in a wide, clockwise circle over the ground) incorporating all five senses plus magical aura, another to make it a Lingering Illusion, and two on Archwizard-cost-reduced Quicken Spell to make it a swift action. Move: Move straight up. Move 2 (Directed Motion): Move straight up Move/Swift 3 (Temporal Haste): Move at a 45' angle up and southeast. Altitude should be 7,760', 530' southeast from starting location. Visha (S): 12 SP Move/Swift 3 (Temporal Haste): A casting of the Clear Skies mantle on squadron member Tanya: base CL 25, +8 CL for +110% Wild Magic chance w/Tap Chaos, +2 CL for +100% Wild Magic chance w/Wild Surge. One spell point for the base effect, another to mirror the effect across every member of the squadron via the Mass Command feat- reducing the effect's duration to an hour. She, and every other squadron member, treats the weather as five steps less severe. Another spell point has been spent on the Tenacious Spell metamagic, decreasing the effective MSB of a dispel attempt by 2 and ensuring that it lasts for 1d4 rounds after being dispelled or dismissed and increasing the casting time to a full-round action- and another two (reduced with Metamagic Enhancement) to bump the casting time down from a full-round to a move action. Swift 2 (Twist Time): A CL 25 use of the Alteration sphere Shapeshift ability on herself: the Wild Magic chance of the casting has been increased by +100% with the Inspired Surge feat to gain the effect of the Size Change and Size Mastery talents. A spell point has been spent to let the effect last 250 minutes without concentration, another to use Size Mastery, and another two to decrease the casting time to a swift action with Quicken Spell (cost reduced with Metamagic Enhancement class feature). This grants 1 trait (base) + 5 (1 per 5 CL) + 1 (Greater Changes) + 1 (Extreme Changes) = 8 traits. Trait 1: The Earth variation of the Elemental Movement trait of Elemental Transformation, giving me a 100' burrow speed and Earth Glide Trait 2: The Earth variation of the Elemental Movement trait of Elemental Transformation, using the option to boost a movement speed rather than replacing it to boost my Burrow move to 150' Trait 3: A Size Change to Fine Transformation: The shape of a pygmy mouse via Animalistic Transformation Trait 4: The Dodge trait from Agile Trait 5: The Evasion trait from Agile Trait 6: The Initiative trait from Agile Trait 7: Darkvision 60' Trait 8: Low-light vision Standard: Empty Portable Hole Move: Earth Glide 150'- initially straight downwards for 100', then northwest 45'.

Richtofen then uses the Soulmate manabond to clone the effect across every regimental musician and every member of the gun crew, with a duration of only 4 rounds. Move: Cast an instance of the Protection sphere ward Barrier, small enough to cover only himself and moving with him with Mobile Ward, with a spell point spent on it with Greater Barrier to give it 250 HP, a break DC of 35, and weight capacity 17,300 lb, with a spell point spent to allow it to remain for 29 minutes without concentration [via Enduring Protection] and another spent on Selective Barrier to make it one-way going out.

Opposition Research Kazuya Mishima is a martial-arts beatstick drawing heavily from Librim Eterna content. Whole lotta stuff from a whole lotta disciplines, at least partially so as to take full advantage of Proof of Victory. Justice is an enormous statstick and heavily fear-oriented. At first glance, it doesn't look like either of them have much ability to deal with weather or catch Tanya in a power climb.

Prefight buffs for everyone: CL 25 casting of Greater Enhance Equipment on every item of weaponry except the grenades, another of Natural Enhancement on everyone's natural armor. Effect: +6 enhancement bonus to attack and damage and +6 to natural armor for everyone, lasting 25h CL 35 casting of the Invigorate ability of the Life sphere, augmented by the Chaotic Flexibility'd talents Deeper Healing and Greater Invigorate. 86 temp HP for everyone, lasting 35 hours (WM Chance: 270%, reduced by 50% w/Careful Caster, 2/5 of yesterday's Manipulate Result used for 5e-style Advantage on wild magic rolls, extra spell point spent on Risk Management for four rolls on the Universal table rather than a major event if the 70% shakes out badly) CL 33 casting of the Chaotic Flexibility'd talent Latent Healing (cure option)+Deeper Healing, with the help of two Inspired Surge'd (cure) talents- everyone has one application of 6d8+99 HP healing they can activate as a swift action (WM Chance 220%, rolled upon use rather than upon buffing) CL 33 casting of the Chaotic Flexibility'd talent Latent Healing (Invigorate option)+Deeper Healing, with the help of an Inspired Surge'd Greater Invigorate- everyone has one application of 82 temp HP they can activate as a swift action (WM Chance 220%, rolled upon use rather than upon buffing) CL 25 casting of the Inspired Surge'd Mind sphere talent Terrifying Mind- +5 morale against mind-affecting, +10 morale vs. fear (WM chance 110%) CL 25 casting of the Inspired Surge'd Protection (ward) talent Inner Peace- +4 morale against fear, emotional and mind-affecting, all such affects permit a save even if not normally allowed.

A Chaotic Flexibility'd Distant Teleport + Unseeing Teleport and an Inspired Surge'd True Teleport+Recall effect combine to produce the following effect: whenever Tanya identifies an opponent using a Disjunction or Antimagic Field effect, teleport two miles straight up, leaving behind a beacon she can choose to teleport back to without spending an action at any point in the next 33 rounds.

[A use of the Wild Fire invocation is used off of the Tap Chaos to add +8 to attacks, saves and AC for 15 rounds.]. Two spell points have been spent on Greater Weather to allow three categories of weather to be affected at once, another point on Severe Weather to improve the severity level I can raise it to, and another two on Radiation Lord to let me control Fallout- increasing Precipitation, Wind and Fallout to Category 7+2 at a speed of 3 level changes per round via the Tempestarii's Rapid Weather class feature. Three spell points have been spent via Climatic Shift to make it a permanent, undispellable effect replacing the natural weather, and this change in weather is effective to a 3,500' radius. A spell point has been spent on Ectoplasmic Spell: the unnatural weather extends to the Astral and Ethereal and has full effect against incorporeal creatures. One has been spent for Disruptive Spell: to use a spherecasting effect or spell, anyone affected by a weather effect must make a Concentration check with a DC equal to that weather effect + 1/2 the CL of the sphere ability or spell. Three have been spent on Burrowing Magic: the unnatural weather ignores all barriers and there is no shelter against it. The casting time is increased to a full-round action due to my use of Metamagic effects, then decreased to a standard action with 2 spell points (reduced with Metamagic Enhancement class feature) and a use of Quicken Spell.   2 spell points have been spent on Baleful Storm. Once Precipitation hits severity 4, I can reanimate any number of corpses within the area as a move action without paying the Reanimate ability's base cost: they only last as long as the rain does. Such undead creatures will get a +8 enhancement bonus to their Dexerity via Superior Reanimation, and are raised as Fast, Relentless, Gasburst (Mustard Gas) Zombies via Expanded Necromancy. The wind is set to blow towards my opponent, bypassing the usual 1d4 roll to determine the wind's direction when releasing mustard gas from a gas cylinder. DCs to avoid being blown away in the area, to move against the wind when checked, and the wind-based penalty to Perception checks are increased by +16, and wind-based penalties to ranged attacks are increased by -8.  When lightning strikes begin when Wind and Precipitation hit severity 4, they happen once a round, not once a minute, and I can dictate where they go. Via the Contamination Lord talent, once Wind and Fallout hit severity 4, the fallout ignores immunity to poison, ability damage, and ability drain. Creatures without Strength or Constitution scores take 8 points of fire damage for every point of ability damage that they would otherwise take. Damage done to objects by weather effects within the area is doubled: if the damage is area damage, it ignores the halving of energy damage that objects normally experience. All damage dealt by weather effects within the area is maximized. Swift: CL 25 casting of the Time sphere Haste ability on squadron member Richtofen: the Wild Magic chance of the casting has been increased by +100% with the Inspired Surge feat to gain the effect of the Improved Haste and Temporal Haste talents. A spell point has been spent to enable it to last 25 rounds without concentration, another for Temporal Haste to work and another to mirror the effect across every member of the squadron via the Mass Command feat. The casting has been decreased to a swift action with 2 spell points (reduced with Metamagic Enhancement class feature) Move: Directed Motion: every cohort gets a move action which can be used only to move Swift 2 (Twist Time): Swift/Move 2 (Temporal Haste): CL 25 casting of the Flow manabond. One spell point spent to get it going, a second to permit me to target both my Tanya-self and Visha-self via Magical Conduit, and persists indefinitely at infinite range via Infinite Bond. Its ordinary effects are made pretty much irrelevant by the effects of the Vassalize talent, which permit the overmind to use the spell points of the targets as they were its own on spherecasting effects- which it does in preference to its own, since they're effectively lost if they're taken out. [Note: Switch out this one for the default Mystical Bond for free CL boosts, or maybe Inspired Surge up another.] Multispell: Use Deluxe Mage Barrier sphere-like ability on Tanya-self. Tanya (S) 9 SP Delays until after Visha if higher Initiative Swift: A CL 25 use of the Alteration sphere Shapeshift ability on herself: the Wild Magic chance of the casting has been increased by +100% with the Inspired Surge feat to gain the effect of the Cosmic Body and Star-Spawn Body talents. A spell point has been spent to let the effect last 250 minutes without concentration, another to use Star-Spawn Body traits, another to use the Ethereal trait, and another two to decrease the casting time to a swift action with Quicken Spell (cost reduced with Metamagic Enhancement class feature). This grants 1 trait (base) + 5 (1 per 5 CL) + 1 (Greater Changes) + 1 (Extreme Changes) = 8 traits. Trait 1: The Fire variation of the Elemental Movement trait of Elemental Transformation, replacing my base racial 30' movement speed with a 100' one Trait 2: The Fire variation of the Elemental Movement trait of Elemental Transformation, using the option to boost a movement speed rather than replacing it to boost my base move to 150' Trait 3: The Sprint trait of Animalistic Transformation: 1/minute as a free action, increase one base move speed by +70' Trait 4: Ethereal, via Cosmic Body Trait 5: Spiritual Touch, via Cosmic Body: weapons and natural weapons have Ghost Touch Trait 6: Shadow Blend, via Cosmic Body: concealment in normal light, though not bright light Trait 7: Impossible Geometries, via Star-Spawn Body: 50% miss chance against all attacks. True Seeing negates, but anyone who does has to make a DC 37 Will save vs. mind-affecting or be staggered for 1d4 rounds Trait 8: Air Mastery: airborne targets have -3 on attack and damage towards me Multispell: Free Action: Activate Sprint, boosting fly speed to 1,035' (base land speed 150', +60' enhancement from Temporal Haste, +35' competence from Swift Movement, +30' from Time sphere Incanter specialization, +70' from Haste, 345' total- tripled to 1,035' w/Angel Rings) Full-Round: Run action straight up. This gets me to an altitude of 5,175 ft. Swift 2 (Twist Time): Use Illusion. One spell point to create a Glamer (of self moving in a wide, clockwise circle over the ground) incorporating all five senses plus magical aura, another to make it a Lingering Illusion, and two on Archwizard-cost-reduced Quicken Spell to make it a swift action. Move: Move straight up. Move 2 (Directed Motion): Move straight up Move/Swift 3 (Temporal Haste): Move at a 45' angle up and southeast. Altitude should be 7,760', 530' southeast from starting location. Visha (S): 12 SP Move/Swift 3 (Temporal Haste): A casting of the Clear Skies mantle on squadron member Tanya: base CL 25, +8 CL for +110% Wild Magic chance w/Tap Chaos, +2 CL for +100% Wild Magic chance w/Wild Surge. One spell point for the base effect, another to mirror the effect across every member of the squadron via the Mass Command feat- reducing the effect's duration to an hour. She, and every other squadron member, treats the weather as five steps less severe. Another spell point has been spent on the Tenacious Spell metamagic, decreasing the effective MSB of a dispel attempt by 2 and ensuring that it lasts for 1d4 rounds after being dispelled or dismissed and increasing the casting time to a full-round action- and another two (reduced with Metamagic Enhancement) to bump the casting time down from a full-round to a move action. Swift 2 (Twist Time): A CL 25 use of the Alteration sphere Shapeshift ability on herself: the Wild Magic chance of the casting has been increased by +100% with the Inspired Surge feat to gain the effect of the Size Change and Size Mastery talents. A spell point has been spent to let the effect last 250 minutes without concentration, another to use Size Mastery, and another two to decrease the casting time to a swift action with Quicken Spell (cost reduced with Metamagic Enhancement class feature). This grants 1 trait (base) + 5 (1 per 5 CL) + 1 (Greater Changes) + 1 (Extreme Changes) = 8 traits. Trait 1: The Earth variation of the Elemental Movement trait of Elemental Transformation, giving me a 100' burrow speed and Earth Glide Trait 2: The Earth variation of the Elemental Movement trait of Elemental Transformation, using the option to boost a movement speed rather than replacing it to boost my Burrow move to 150' Trait 3: A Size Change to Fine Transformation: The shape of a pygmy mouse via Animalistic Transformation Trait 4: The Dodge trait from Agile Trait 5: The Evasion trait from Agile Trait 6: The Initiative trait from Agile Trait 7: Darkvision 60' Trait 8: Low-light vision Standard: Empty Portable Hole Move: Earth Glide 150'- initially straight downwards for 100', then northwest 45'.

Three spell points have been spent via Climatic Shift to make it a permanent, undispellable effect replacing the natural weather, and this change in weather is effective to a 3,500' radius. A spell point has been spent on Ectoplasmic Spell: the unnatural weather extends to the Astral and Ethereal and has full effect against incorporeal creatures. One has been spent for Disruptive Spell: to use a spherecasting effect or spell, anyone affected by a weather effect must make a Concentration check with a DC equal to that weather effect + 1/2 the CL of the sphere ability or spell. Three have been spent on Burrowing Magic: the unnatural weather ignores all barriers and there is no shelter against it. The casting time is increased to a full-round action due to my use of Metamagic effects, then decreased to a move action with 2 spell points and a use of Quicken Spell [reduced with Metamagic Enhancement], then increased to a standard action with Careful Caster to reduce the wild magic chance effect of the effect by 50%- for a total wild magic chance of 10% (base) + 100% (Wild Surge) - 50% = 60%.  Via the Boiling Lord talent, once Heat and Precipitation hit category 4, all creatures in the affected area take 6 fire damage per Precipitation severity level from boiling rain. Via the Fire Tornadoes talent, once Wind and Heat hit severity 7, anything affected by a tornado also takes 36 fire damage. (Yes, while it's raining. Little particles of Caesium-137 mixed in with the fallout? Who knows.) Damage done to objects by weather effects within the area is doubled: if the damage is area damage, it ignores the halving of energy damage that objects normally experience. All damage dealt by weather effects within the area is maximized. Move: Swift: Deluxe Mage Barrier on the tank.

Hardness 31, HP 44: cannot rot or warp, even magically CL 25 Destruction sphere scroll-grenade: Spend a standard action and pick a point within 85'. Everyone within a 170' radius, except the caster and seven other creatures they select, take 187 + (25d6)*0.5 untyped damage: they must make *two* Reflex saves, DC 28, to halve that damage. If they failed either, they must also make two DC 28 Fortitude saves or be blinded for 13 rounds and deafened for 12. Furthermore, whether or not they made any of those saves, they also take 50 bleed damage...but a target who fails *any* of those saving throws can't heal hit point damage by any means, including fast healing or regeneration, for 12 rounds. Even if they made 'em, the bleed can be negated only through a magical skill/caster level/class level check against DC 35, or a DC 40 Heal check. If the target is undead or in any way vulnerable to sunlight, the damage is 275 + (25d8)*0.5 instead.  The blast hits ethereal or incorporeal targets as if they weren't, and is not subject to spell resistance. Traveler's Any-Tool Mess kit and canteen Handy Haversack Scroll-autoinjector A: As a swift action targeting only myself which can be accomplished even if normally unable to cast due to a condition which this could restore, cure 84 + (3d8 * 0.5) HP, heal all ability damage to any ability score as well as all ability drain to one ability score, remove 2 temporary negative levels or suppress 2 permanent ones for 8 minutes, and make a check at +8 against the CL of each negative magical effect that has a duration or can be removed with Break Enchantment or Remove Curse, dispelling it on a success. Gain DR 4/-- and immmunity to any spell so removed for 2 rounds: if *all* negative levels were removed, also gain immunity to them for the same duration. This is not a positive energy effect and works on undead just as well as the living. Additionally, gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC and saves for 1 minute or until hit by the next attack or the next save is failed. Scroll-autoinjector B: As a swift action targeting only myself which can be accomplished even if normally unable to cast due to a condition which this could restore, cure 84 + (3d8 * 0.5) HP, negate the dazzled, shaken, frightened, panicked, confused, dazed, staggered, battered, fatigued, exhausted, sickened, or nauseated condition, as well as any temporary/magical removal of senses- and make a check at +8 against the DC of any poison or disease I'm suffering from to negate it as well. Gain DR 4/-- and immunity to any removed condition, poison or disease for 2 rounds. This is not a positive energy effect and works on undead just as well as the living. Additionally, gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC and saves for 1 minute or until hit by the next attack or the next save is failed. Scroll-autoinjector C: As a swift action targeting only myself which can be accomplished even if normally unable to cast due to a condition which this could restore, cure 84 + (3d8 * 0.5) HP, gain an immediate Escape Artist check at a +12 circumstance bonus to any applicable condition such as entangled or grappled, remove the stunned condition, and negate any lessening of a movement speed, removal of a movement type, or loss of the power of speech. If under a paralysis effect, make a check at +8 against it, removing it on a success. Gain DR 4/-- and immunity to any condition so negated for 2 rounds. This is not a positive energy effect and works on undead just as well as the living. Additionally, gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC and saves for 1 minute or until hit by the next attack or the next save is failed- and the next time a negative condition which could be removed by a Life sphere restore or Break Enchantment would affect me, it's delayed by 2 rounds before taking effect.  Scroll-autoinjector D: As a swift action targeting only myself which can be accomplished even if the damage it would cure killed me within the last 4 rounds, cure 84 + (3d8 * 0.5) HP, and gain a +2 circumstance bonus to AC and saves for 1 minute or until hit by the next attack or the next save is failed.

Counterspell: Spend a spell point as a standard action to dispel a magical effect on a creature, item or location within 350'- or ready an action to counter a spell or sphere effect as someone casts it. When targeting a creature, item, or location, I can target a specific effect if I've ID'd it, otherwise the one with the highest CL is automatically targeted. Make a check at +31 against their Magic Skill Defense (levels in a spellcasting class + 11: permanent general bonuses to caster level like that of an orange ioun stone generally apply, and so do increases to CL specific to dispel resistance, like that of a Ring of Enduring Arcana. Temporary bonuses to CL, or bonuses to CL specific to a particular school of magic or spell, generally do not apply. On a success, the targeted effect is destroyed- or, in the case of a non-artifact magic item, suppressed for 1d4 rounds. When targeting a creature or object, I can spend an additional spell point to target an additional 5 effects, for a total of 6. Alternatively, I can spend an additional spell point to affect multiple effects in a 20' burst. Roll one check at +31 and apply it to every creature in the area [once], every object with a spell or effect active on it [but not permanent magic items], and every area effect with an origin in that area. Also roll to dispel area effects covering that area with an origin outside, but only dispel them for that area. Alternatively, I can spend two additional spell points to attempt to dispel every effect on every creature, every ongoing magical effect, and every magic item within 40'. This, uniquely, has a 25% chance to dispel an antimagic field. Permanent magic items dispelled this way have their benefits return in 1 minute, not 1d4 rounds. Alternatively, I can spend two additional spell points to target one item. I make a check at +36 against it: a success renders it permanently nonmagical. This has a 25% chance of working against artifacts, but if I do it, I need to make a DC 25 Will save vs. permanently losing all spherecasting and have a 95% chance of attracting unwanted extraplanar attention. Alternatively, I can spend an additional spell point to perform a counterspell as an immediate action. This one only works for countering an effect as it's being cast. Whenever I would counterspell an effect on a creature or object, I may instead choose to reassign its targets, taking over concentration for it if concentration is required: the effect's originator loses any ability to dismiss it that they may have had. Whenever I would counterspell anything, the caster suffers a 100% increase in their wild magic chance until end of turn. They are not aware of this increase.

[SPOILER=Inspirations]Jubei-Chan Cure Black (Futari wa Pretty Cure) Revolutionary Girl Utena Yuzuko Mawatari (Teppu) Buffy the Vampire Slayer[/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Appearance/Personality]Appearance/Personality: Graceful and willowy, with long black hair and a bright smile, Suzume would be a classic Japanese beauty if it weren't for her height. Being nearly six feet tall is unusual for any girl, but it's almost freakish for an ethnically Japanese sixteen-year-old. In her shoes, there are those who would've become awkward and withdrawn, but she went to the other extreme, becoming fearlessly outgoing and perfectly comfortable with being the center of attention. Visual for Scion form: [img2="400"]https://i.imgur.com/IOiUpKo.jpg[/img2] Civilian identity at the gym: [img2="400"]https://i.imgur.com/QR4RVVz.png[/img2][/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Background]"Family businesses are everywhere. Sam Walton looms over everybody with Wal-Mart, Danny Katz works weekends at his dad's deli, and my family teaches the Takamatsu-ha Yagyu Shingan-ryu school of martial arts. Okay, fine, normal enough.  It's not just light exercise in combat pyjamas for tykes and soccer moms, though. I mean, sure, we do that, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays- it keeps the lights on- but it's the [i]works[/i]. A complete classical Japanese battlefield art: swordsmanship, spear, staff, throwing knives, horsemanship, wrestling in armor with knives. I'm not sure if Dad is joking or not about there being recipes for poisons, field rations, and black powder in the scrolls I'm still having trouble with because [i]chusei[/i] Japanese is hard: I [i]am[/i] sure we've got a little book of Taoist sex magic kicking around somewhere, because Fujiwara no Taira was a horny weirdo eight hundred years ago and we never throw anything away. And the thing is, I [i]love[/i] it, and I'm [i]really, really good at it[/i]. The martial arts, not the sex magic. And you have no [i]idea[/i] how annoying it is to be a teenage girl who's super into the technical skill of hand-to-hand murder with strangling, bone-breaking and sharp objects.  First of all, my father has wanted Ichiro to inherit the school since the day he was born, even though I've been able to beat him with six different weapons ever since I turned [i]twelve[/i] and Ichiro's wanted to work in film for longer than that. I've had two guidance counselors call in my parents for a conference because they thought wanting to do that for a living made me a violent headcase. The first time, they both just sort of spent an hour taking turns sternly telling me that what I wanted to do with my future was wrong without really noticing that they were kind of talking past each other about [i]why.[/i] The second time around, Mrs. Brown changed her mind halfway through and started fighting with my father about it in the name of equal opportunity...which is definitely funny in retrospect, but at the time it was just awkward. And as for [i]competition[/i]...you know how competitive junior female kendo is on the East Coast of the United States? In the last three events I want to, I took gold, Maggie Higgenbottom took silver, and in two of 'em [i]there was no bronze.[/i] I guess Kirino was pretty good...until she moved back to Tohoku last year. Judo's scarcely any better, and junior female MMA is [i]illegal[/i] in this state and anywhere else within two hours' drive. As for the guys at the school, they're split between the tiny historical-recreationist crowd of stick-thin Japanophile senior citizens who show up for the weapons work on the weekends and the MMA bros who come to the serious jujutsu classes, who are terrified of breaking the owner's daughter in half and start losing interest the moment you introduce a rubber knife into a drill.  Aaaand...look, I freely admit that what I did was probably not the best idea. The sane, reasonable response to having a one-ton, deformed spider-woman toss a shining superhuman through the wall of the eatery you're in is to [i]****in' run[/i]. I [i]know[/i] this. But...she wasn't moving.  So I threw one of my hairpins at its face, and I got [i]really lucky[/i] and speared it through the left eye, and the steak knives at the restaurant were this [i]perfect[/i] stiletto shape, and it seemed to find the hairpin in the eye [i]very distracting[/i] so I thought it might be safe enough and [i]she still wasn't moving.[/i] So then I snuck in on its blind side and got the [i]other[/i] eye and then just sort of... kept going on the theory that once you've decided the solution to a problem is stabbing, things are hardly likely to be improved by half measures and it needs [i]a lot of stabbing[/i]. Did you know spider blood is blue? I did [i]not[/i], and I found out that it's kind of lucky that the outfits we transform into are self-cleaning and...I'm getting ahead of myself, sorry. It was about this time that the chick with the glowing, rainbow blouse-thing came round and, um, started screaming. Apparently her magic- most magic- tends to be a lot less... messy and visceral. And she was [i]very[/i] concussed. After a few minutes, her...floating, talking stuffed fox that called itself a 'Moochee'...managed to calm her down, and she was very apologetic, and somehow the conversation turned into a job interview? With the fox. Which was no weirder than the rest of it, really, and it [i]did[/i] answer a lot of questions. It said there were more monsters, that I was needed- my talents, my skills. It was nice to be taken seriously."[/SPOILER] [SPOILER=Complications]Motivation: Doing Good, Recognition, Thrills Reputation (Vicious Pragmatist) Identity (Forging the Soul-Born Sword can be *really* useful, new powers on demand- but it permanently shuts down my disguise power for the person I use it on) Relationship (Father: respects and desires approval, but dislikes for his sexism) Relationship (Brother: simmering jealousy for having been handed something she's wanted her whole life) Responsibility (Juggling superheroism, classes and martial-arts training) Power Loss (I wanna have an mini-arc or scene where she loses all or most of her magic stuff and somehow ends up fighting monsters in samurai weapons and armor.

[/SPOILER][/SPOILER] Inspirations Jubei-Chan Cure Black (Futari wa Pretty Cure) Revolutionary Girl Utena Yuzuko Mawatari (Teppu) Buffy the Vampire Slayer Appearance/Personality Appearance/Personality: Graceful and willowy, with long black hair and a bright smile, Suzume would be a classic Japanese beauty if it weren't for her height. Being nearly six feet tall is unusual for any girl, but it's almost freakish for an ethnically Japanese sixteen-year-old. In her shoes, there are those who would've become awkward and withdrawn, but she went to the other extreme, becoming fearlessly outgoing and perfectly comfortable with being the center of attention. Visual for Scion form: Civilian identity at the gym: Background "Family businesses are everywhere. Sam Walton looms over everybody with Wal-Mart, Danny Katz works weekends at his dad's deli, and my family teaches the Takamatsu-ha Yagyu Shingan-ryu school of martial arts. Okay, fine, normal enough.  It's not just light exercise in combat pyjamas for tykes and soccer moms, though. I mean, sure, we do that, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays- it keeps the lights on- but it's the works . A complete classical Japanese battlefield art: swordsmanship, spear, staff, throwing knives, horsemanship, wrestling in armor with knives. I'm not sure if Dad is joking or not about there being recipes for poisons, field rations, and black powder in the scrolls I'm still having trouble with because chusei Japanese is hard: I am sure we've got a little book of Taoist sex magic kicking around somewhere, because Fujiwara no Taira was a horny weirdo eight hundred years ago and we never throw anything away. And the thing is, I love it, and I'm really, really good at it . The martial arts, not the sex magic. And you have no idea how annoying it is to be a teenage girl who's super into the technical skill of hand-to-hand murder with strangling, bone-breaking and sharp objects.  First of all, my father has wanted Ichiro to inherit the school since the day he was born, even though I've been able to beat him with six different weapons ever since I turned twelve and Ichiro's wanted to work in film for longer than that. I've had two guidance counselors call in my parents for a conference because they thought wanting to do that for a living made me a violent headcase. The first time, they both just sort of spent an hour taking turns sternly telling me that what I wanted to do with my future was wrong without really noticing that they were kind of talking past each other about why. The second time around, Mrs. Brown changed her mind halfway through and started fighting with my father about it in the name of equal opportunity...which is definitely funny in retrospect, but at the time it was just awkward. And as for competition ...you know how competitive junior female kendo is on the East Coast of the United States? In the last three events I want to, I took gold, Maggie Higgenbottom took silver, and in two of 'em there was no bronze. I guess Kirino was pretty good...until she moved back to Tohoku last year. Judo's scarcely any better, and junior female MMA is illegal in this state and anywhere else within two hours' drive. As for the guys at the school, they're split between the tiny historical-recreationist crowd of stick-thin Japanophile senior citizens who show up for the weapons work on the weekends and the MMA bros who come to the serious jujutsu classes, who are terrified of breaking the owner's daughter in half and start losing interest the moment you introduce a rubber knife into a drill.  Aaaand...look, I freely admit that what I did was probably not the best idea. The sane, reasonable response to having a one-ton, deformed spider-woman toss a shining superhuman through the wall of the eatery you're in is to ****in' run . I know this. But...she wasn't moving.  So I threw one of my hairpins at its face, and I got really lucky and speared it through the left eye, and the steak knives at the restaurant were this perfect stiletto shape, and it seemed to find the hairpin in the eye very distracting so I thought it might be safe enough and she still wasn't moving. So then I snuck in on its blind side and got the other eye and then just sort of... kept going on the theory that once you've decided the solution to a problem is stabbing, things are hardly likely to be improved by half measures and it needs a lot of stabbing . Did you know spider blood is blue? I did not , and I found out that it's kind of lucky that the outfits we transform into are self-cleaning and...I'm getting ahead of myself, sorry. It was about this time that the chick with the glowing, rainbow blouse-thing came round and, um, started screaming. Apparently her magic- most magic- tends to be a lot less... messy and visceral. And she was very concussed. After a few minutes, her...floating, talking stuffed fox that called itself a 'Moochee'...managed to calm her down, and she was very apologetic, and somehow the conversation turned into a job interview? With the fox. Which was no weirder than the rest of it, really, and it did answer a lot of questions. It said there were more monsters, that I was needed- my talents, my skills. It was nice to be taken seriously." Complications Motivation: Doing Good, Recognition, Thrills Reputation (Vicious Pragmatist) Identity (Forging the Soul-Born Sword can be *really* useful, new powers on demand- but it permanently shuts down my disguise power for the person I use it on) Relationship (Father: respects and desires approval, but dislikes for his sexism) Relationship (Brother: simmering jealousy for having been handed something she's wanted her whole life) Responsibility (Juggling superheroism, classes and martial-arts training) Power Loss (I wanna have an mini-arc or scene where she loses all or most of her magic stuff and somehow ends up fighting monsters in samurai weapons and armor. Maybe it ends up being an awesome thing, maybe it ends up being a hubris thing and she gets to die or get seriously injured, but I'd like it to happen.)

If you want to kill a man at a distance, you pick up a bow or an arquebus or some other serious ranged weapon- you don't do it with dinky little knives. What you can do with a dinky little knife is draw it, palm it, and throw it in the space of a breath. What that's really useful for is making sure sure that the other guy can never just take a step or two out of reach in a sword fight and feel comfortable, safe and relaxed. Instead, you huck something sharp at their face. If you hit something important, that's nice. If they duck, or parry it, that works too- it means they don't have the attention to spare on stabbing you. If you miss , even, what does that lose you? Not much. If you're really slick, sometimes you can even toss one, lunge into distance, and make a more decisive attack with your sword in the instant they're distracted. Oooh, and if you keep them in just the right place in your sleeve, you can draw a sword and make this deceptive little sidearm toss of a hidden shuriken in pretty much the same motion.

Is the 'no Champions' thing a hard ban on any character that has both martial and casting talents? Or can we have characters like a Hedgewitch that takes the Combat path, a Mid-Caster/Low-Caster that makes the feat-progression-for-combat-talent trade, a caster who gets talents through an Oath Boon, or just a caster that takes Extra Combat Talent- so long as they don't take a CotS class or archetype?   I'd like to have a Death-sphere necromancer who makes use of Reanimated Warriors for kung-fu skellingtons.
