Unless I'm missing something, it still has no option for 4 slams nor Improved Grab. The original is a grappler monster. It needs to have at least one option for that.

Miracle is 9th level, the "ultimate" cleric spell. It can replicate any 8th level divine spell though.

You promised you would use it to "just" produce an army of free simulacra, which is already quite imba. Shadow miracles by characters who can't actually cast 9th level spells are banned in case I didn't make it clear enough.

As you approach the address area, you sense a subtle charm, subconsciously telling you to go somewhere else instead of here, barely perceptible. But it’s easily shrugged off by someone of your caliber.
The charm seems to have done a good job of keeping everybody else away however since past that point the street is empty. Then you hear sounds of battle, and turning around the corner you find three combatants engaged in a fierce fight.
There seem to be no clear team-up, the Ice Devil lunges with its spear at both the other two present while the warrior skillfully flourishes their blade all around and the huge demonic spider is clearly trying to bite either of them.
:”You there! If you want some easy money, help me take down this bounty and I’ll share my contract’s reward!”
:”Don’t listen to that Gelugon! My employer will pay you double if you help me take them out!”
:”No, help me and you can have all the promised treasure from my pact, I’ll just have their tasty corpses!”

« on: July 21, 2019, 10:51:29 PM »So what you're saying is.......Kat's the only one who can contact anyone?Well Katherine does have a pretty direct way.
Okay, I just did all the math.
Os, I'm assuming that to crew all of the ships I'll be at 0 followers and skeleton crew to make this a meaningful decision which will then screw me over later next time we're in a fight (and maybe beyond depending on if I can get some downtime).
I just realized that I have 2 ship captions in my followers, one with a Huge ship and one with a Colossal ship. If they also give up some crew to meet minimum standards would that be sufficient to have me crew everybody?
Since Bastion is Colossal +++ and has a crew of 2000:
Colossal ++ crew of 1000
Colossal + crew of 500
Colossal crew of 250
Gargantuan crew of 125
Huge crew of 63
Need to keep 10% of crew minimum, so the colossal ship could "donate" 225 crew and the huge ship could "donate" 55 (56-57 technically but no benefit staying outside a 5 multiple) crew. That would reduce the burden on Bastion, but not fully evade the penalties.
I'm pretty sure we had agreed to limit your discs to 5th level.As a quick reminder, you're in the middle of a gravitational-space anomaly, you have no mail access. And even if you weren't, inter-planetary communications are limited to special abilities/magic. If you wat to contact somebody outside, you'll need either a specific special ability/magic or go to the planet itself.
OK, which spell do I need to Shadow Miracle out of my ass to solve that issue?
Sending's a 4th level evocation. 25 words per 10 minutes to one target at a time.

Get healing spirits or eat damaged drones and make new ones.
Also, do I have any contacts I could use for additional crew?
For Damarius, that would already be the 100 crew/day minimum recovery.
The rest of the party has made several contacts, maybe they can help.
EDIT: There's of course the Android Administration, but then any crew from them would be loyal to them first.

She pauses just outside the reach of the guard's sword, holding up her rod of remorse high, fire and lighting crackling over the painted wood that remains pristine.
: "Besides even whores have as much right as virgins. You are guilty of shaming honest workers providing a valuable service to society.

-Hooked battlebriar still mentions titan.
-Natural armor bonus equal to HD with just a dip is probably too much, maybe should be limited to actual racial levels.
-How does Dashing area attack works? Roll ranged attack against everybody inside? Auto-hit?
-Guardian says it gains +1 con at each level, but probably means even level like the others.
-Guardian appears to lack a manifesting stat.
-Graft lacks an activation action. Also what's the range to use in others? And when does the pool recharge? Does it recharge at all?
-If you're going to add abilities from splatbooks, please provide a link at least.
-Mulch probably shouldn't be recovering PP, otherwise it's trivial to just get a bunch of animal corpses from the market and keep PP topped up all the time between battles.
-Wind Wall isn't a force effect...
-How does Plant Shift even works? Do you name a specific plant or area and go to the plant closest to the area? What if they aren't where they're supposed to be, do you just waste an acion or you go to the next closest plant?
-Unless you're playing the Dashing battlebriar, you'll be extremely vulnerable to any flying enemy with ranged attacks until level 10 when psionic flight can be manifested.
-It has shifted perhaps too much from the original monster. No permanent growths when it's supposed to end huge size by default. Only up to two slams (or one or none) when it's supposed to end up with 4. The ranged attack is mutually exclusive with the slams and trample. No improved grab at all nor the ability to impale opponents upon its body. At its core the battlethron is meant to be a huge plant grappler that can also shoot thorn volleys, but none of the paths actually allow that. You could remove some of the many anti-magic abilities that aren't in the original monster to put back the bruiser abilities that are supposed to be default.

Oslecamo's Improved Monster Classes / Re: Inugami
« on: July 17, 2019, 02:22:19 AM »
Looking good, but going by pure RAW, addig increased actions for the victim to remove the mark of the damned on their own doesn't invalidate the previous options automatically. So basically going "A Mark Bearer may attempt to save against a single Mark by spending one Hour in uninterrupted meditation" doesn't do much when they can still do the standard option. There should be a clause clarifying that previous, faster options can no longer be used.
Even then, it just doesn't feel right to have the effect last months when the victim can try to remove it every hour or so. Would instead suggest the victim can only try to remove them on their own 1/day or something and if it fails they need to wait until next day or try some other method.
And since I'm at it, " Inugami +1 to all rolls against the targets" is pretty risky wording since not all rolls are equal. So would probably be safer to limit it to 1d20 and damage rolls.
