We have time to buff and yet... no buffs. We're off to a great start.
:lol
Dyson has other buffs, but they don't last that long. So he can't afford to run around with them all the time. He's also built to be able to buff while fighting.

Dyson want the Greater Mighty Wallop?  If not, I'll swap it for something.

Don't forget about your free +5 Shocking weapons and whatever artifact blessings you have.

Oh yeah, I forgot I was using a morningstar!

Thanks, I had! :p

Edit: Where is the information about the artifacts? I thought there was a thread for that sort of thing in this forum somewhere...

I think we ought to decide on which blessings we want now. As a reminder, we can't gain the benefit of a blessing from an artifact we possess, but can benefit from the other, and we can only have one blessing.

Since Iskandar is bonded with Machine Cog, he can benefit from one of God of Thunder's blessings.

He would make good use of Lightning Perseverance or Lightning Power. Lightning Attack would actually be good since devil's aren't immune or resistant, naturally, to electricity, unlike demons. Since my acid damage is going to be fully resisted, and my fire damage is going to be highly resisted as well (I can only do 15 fire damage max against immune creatures), some extra damage would fit my cycle.

Did we have any enchantments on our weapons to bypass DR/Good and/or silver? If not, this is going to be one seriously tough battle, and it's only the first fiend of the wave...

I have one maneuver that ignores DR, at least. Most of the rest just have bonus effects for hitting evil nonhumans.

Also, I got a 36 for init.

... Figures that I'd roll low on Initiative, being the 'Quick One' of the group...

Vist on Init 17.

I took Lightning Attack since Oslecamo ruled that it works with GMW to basically give everyone +5 shocking weapons.  So you don't have to worry about that.

That's the only blessing I have.

FYI, I'm going on vacation to Scotland for 2 weeks starting on Tuesday so I'll be completely out of pocket.  If you need anything before then, let me know.

Otherwise, lets jump this pit fiend fool quickly while he's still got his hands out.  We don't negotiate with terrorists fiends.

Yay!  Thanks!  We'll be visiting my castle on my birthday!

https://scottishlaird.co.uk/pages/becomelordlady

Well, not really MY castle, per se, but I am Laird of the castle (in name) so it'll be fun.  Also on the plans are a tour of Oban distillery (wanted to go to Islay, but it was too far for the time we had because of the ferry schedule), then up to Skye, up to Inverness, over to Aberdeen, and back down past Dunnottar Castle to Edinburgh and finally back to Glasgow for the flight out.  2 days in Iceland and 11 in Scotland.  Wish we could take longer...

I'm not sure what you're planning to do in Aberdeen, to be honest. But I've never been north of Stirling except that time I accidentally got on the wrong train and ended up in Perth. :lmao

I could use a conjured weapon, although then I have to worry about spell/power resistance...

Edit: Actually... Psychic Scimitar is PR: No. Schwing! :D

I notice now the Pit Fiend can't beat Aeloru's current initiative so feel free to shoot first.

I'll post it IC tomorrow, but if those first two attacks hit, the devil has a DC27 ref save or destroyed, DC25 if only the second hits, still takes the sense motive damage if it saves.

Felt I should get the one-shot maneuver out of the way before a ton of actions are committed.

That's kind of a scary maneuver, though reading it over it's only destroyed for 24 hours. Presumably it could come back the next day, and is probaly going to be angrier than it is already...

Lighting Spirit: as a swift action, the blessed creature can count himself as one level higher for all level-based abilities like Caster level and Initiator Level during this round.

Unless you have a lot of swift action manifesting, this will basically give you +1 ML.

If you want to focus more on direct combat, then Cog Engine: As a free action, the improved creature gains +4 Str and +4 Dex. Once used, this ability cannot be activated again for 1d4 rounds.

Will improve both offenses and defenses for you once every 1d4 rounds.

There are also two 1/day blessings available, which are variably useful. Acid Corrosion is a retaliate effect so if you're capable of withstanding a big hit, you can turn it back around on your attacker. Lightning Perseverance, on the other hand, will be a get-out-of-pain free card for one round as an immediate action, allowing you to negate all damage from one or more attacks. Good if you unexpectedly get ganged up on by some big hitters, but again only once per day.

Lightning Power will allow a melee combatant to boost their base damage a bit, so might be better served on Iskandar, though if Dyson could benefit from being Large then I'd say go for it.

I'd probably suggest either Lightning Power or Cog Engine more for you, but it really depends on what you'll focus on more and how important your swift actions are to you: manifesting powers or direct combat.

Ah I was using cog engine. I have too many Swift/immediate actions already. Thanks!
