Dice Godbound: Throne of the Azyrinth Extra Page

[Tachyon]

And yes, miracles aren't specifically chosen. You can miracle any effect, and mimic any Gift, it just takes extra effort and has a few limitations (duration is never permanent when miracling Gifts, for instance)

I'm also not sure what languages there are?


Also my spells will be:
Seal of Regal Dominion
Trumpet of Far Utterance
Barred Gates of Forbiddance
Kiss of the Crane

Yeah, definitely!

The rules said you could spend one of your facts to get it, that's what I was trying to ask you earlier.

Gimme that Draconic pls

 

[caecgirl]

Gimme that Draconic pls

u could get draconic as a free one given ur work as a low-magic mage. You would know all tiers. What tier did u reach as a mortal? if its not already in ur backstory, u should indicate that once you became godbound, the secrets of ur chosen order became obvious or something, if u werent already master as a mortal. lets say it would take 50 years for a mortal to reach master tier, so ur body is forever at least 60. or do you think it would be less? 30 years to reach master tier? So languages: please pick Elven, Mothertongue, Azyrithian, or Celestial.

 

[Sizniche]

If there's no Dwarvish, I'll take Draconic as Orrin's second language

  Name: Caesura
  
  Origin: Faerie Queen - Everyone knew about the ring of menhirs at the centre of the grove. Everyone knew not to go there. Except Caesura. The harvest was bad for the third year. She went to plead with whatever lived down there. Now 'not knowing' is an alien concept to her, as far remote as she is from her former friends. When some ancient fragment of divinity chose to unfold the secrets of the universe before her like a blossoming lotus of impossible beauty and complexity, it transformed her utterly and irrevocably. It filled her with the knowledge of how to create all things living and unliving, and a burning desire to build a better world, to complete a work left unfinished eons ago.
  
  Superficially, of course, she was different. Her tangled brown hair became a riot of colourful blossoms and petals, her unremarkable brown eyes scintillating jewels that promised to reveal a fragment of that infinite complexity if only the viewer would stare just a little deeper, her pale thin lips ripe with the promise of a kiss as sweet as the first harvest apple and just as red. These superficial changes did not truly separate her from what she once was. It was the knowing. Knowing what everyone would say, could say, was capable of saying if they applied themselves for years, from the moment they stepped into the room. Knowing they could never comprehend the beauty she could behold, could bring forth. Could never truly appreciate it. Often quivered in fear at the sight of it. It hardly mattered, though. They're almost all dead now, cut down and reduced to ashes by the same monstrosities who destroy everything she builds.
  
  Profession: Tender of the Sacred Grove - The rites and rituals of the harvest. Honouring the spirits of soil and tree and vine. The propitiation of the forest spirits and the honoured ancestors interred beneath them. The efficacious power of herbs, their harvest and preparation. She thought she knew these things. She had but taken the first timid step on a path she has now walked leagues upon. From the great heights she has reached she can barely see the spot where she had made her humble beginnings. She can't decide whether to laugh or cry. She does both.
  
  Relationship: Guardian of the Last Campfire at the End of the World - She builds it. They tear it down. Where once there was a teeming settlement, now only ash. And yet life is tenacious. Something always survives, staggering out of the dark to her little beacon of hope in still smoking fields of ash. Her forlorn campfire at the end of the world. Some of them she pulled back through the black gates before their souls could move on, some were canny enough to escape, some were simply too stubborn to die, some were just lucky. They're all survivors. Each time a few more choose to follow her, and they set off with the next dawn to a new site to build it all anew. Each time a little bit faster. A little bit better. Hoping this time will be the last.
  
  Goal: To build a city that shines bright, defies the darkness, and does not fall.

  PROTECTION

  The Word of Protection is a selfless Word, one devoted to the guardianship of others. While a Godbound who is bound to this Word has certain abilities to prolong their successful custodianship, he powers of Protection aren't meant to be focused chiefly on the bearer. Instead, they are strongest at protecting others, whether ellow members of the pantheon or mortal petitioners for aid. The Word of Protection is chiefly defensive in nature, though it can wield a Divine Wrath as any other Word can. Its wards can fend off both physical and intangible damage, but such invincible defenses can never protect the Godbound personally; they will always be at least theoretically vulnerable to a foe's attacks. This applies also to other Godbound with the Word of Protection; two allied wielders of the Word cannot shield each other with invulnerable defenses, though other protective powers can still function.

  Godbound of Protection have a natural Armor Class of 3. Once per scene, they can negate an injury or hostile effect on an ally as an Instant action, but they cannot use this power on their own behalf. They can use powers and miracles of Protection to aid praying mortal petitioners who contact them via the gifts of Apotheosis as if they were present at their follower's side.

  
  

  FLORA

  The Word of Flora is concerned with the growth and nurturing of all vegetation, whether true plant or fungus.

  A Hero bound to the Word of Flora is immune to all poisons and once per day can grow enough edible vegetation to feed up to 10 times their Godbound level worth of people. They are intimately familiar with the beauty, strength, and usefulness of all vegetation and increase their Constitution score to 16, or to 18 if it’s already at 16.

  
  

  ARTIFICE

  This is the Word of crafters, builders, and devisers of wondrous creations. Some Godbound express their affinity through a particular form of crafting, such as blacksmithing or shipbuilding, while others are patrons of a broader range of creative labor. Even focused artisans can use their powers generally, however. Miracles of Artifice involve the creation, command, repair, or destruction of physical objects.

  Heroes with the Artifice Word can create any non-magical object a normal man can carry as a round’s action, using whatever materials are to hand. While the ensuing creation may look odd, and any "foodstuffs" are inedible, it functions and lasts as well as a normal object of its type and usual substance. The hero’s crafting efforts for a day count as 100 laborers per character level when an estimate is needed.

  
  

  DEATH

  Death is known to all that is mortal, and this Word gives command over this inevitable fate. Its miracles avert or bring about death, reveal details about a death, rule the unquiet dead, or create restless undead.

  Heroes with the Death Word may command undead in their presence as an action, ordering up to one Mob of any size. Greater undead get a Spirit saving throw to resist, and cannot be commanded to self-de￾struct. As an On Turn action, they also know the details of what, where, and how anything died or is dying within 100 feet of them.

  
  

  KNOWLEDGE (Wishlist)

  Knowledge is the Word of understanding. All that mortal scholars know is within the purview of this Word, along with secrets of the past and present. The Word of Knowledge cannot penetrate the veil of the future, but it can reveal almost anything of the present world. Deep mysteries of a campaign world cannot be pried loose, however. Facts or events perpetrated by someone with the Word of Deception allow their enactor a Spirit saving throw to conceal events from the Word of Knowledge.

  Heroes with the Knowledge Word may set either their Intelligence or Wisdom attribute to 16. If the score is already 16 or higher, they may set it to 18 instead.

  The Harvest Beckons [Greater]
  Action - Commit Effort for the Day
  You affect an amount of land surrounding you, extending up to 2 times your Godbound level in miles, rendering it either impossibly fertile or utterly barren. Fertile land is able to grow vegetation at impossible rates with healthy and blight-free crops erupting in mere hours, whereas barren land will not be able to sustain even the smallest amount of vegetation. This effect is permanent, absent divine intervention, and counts as a Feature for any faction that controls the land.
  
  Ten Thousand Tools [Lesser]
  Constant
  Your natural gifts of creation are augmented. Instead of requiring a full round to create a portable mundane object, you may do so as an On Turn action, as part of whatever action you take. This object may be a permanent creation or allowed to disappear afterwards at your discretion. Your daily labor on projects is worth 1,000 laborers per level. This gift is of no use to a Godbound who has not bound this Word.
  
  Painful Memories [Lesser]
  On Turn - Commit Effort
  The Godbound overwhelms a victim with the memory of physical pain or emotional agony, fresh as if it were in the moment. Their gaze becomes a weapon with a 200' range doing a 1d10 damage die against thinking creatures, including animals, save for those who have never actually experienced suffering. Against humans and other sentient life, it always does at least 1 point of damage, even on a miss. A target reduced to zero hit points may commit suicide or simply collapse in helpless agony; the power alone cannot kill.
  

"your hero's Effort score, which is 2 unless you've taken gifts that increase it." And you can only have 3 words at level 1. choose your gear.

 

[caecgirl]

ok character sheets on extra page are updated, all 3 of em. i'm starting today. u have one week to finish ur chars if needed as well as write ur backstories (including complaining that they are already done and its my fault they aren't up yet) and character pictures and respond.

 

[Sizniche]

"your hero's Effort score, which is 2 unless you've taken gifts that increase it." And you can only have 3 words at level 1. choose your gear.

i think they used 3 of their starting gift points to buy an extra word, with them having 4 points worth of gifts because Fae Queen gave them a bonus gift.

Hmmm? Here's what you wrote for the Microcosm Faerie Queen:
Faerie Queen - +4 to any mental stat or will save. You gain one lesser gift from Deception, Mind, Illusion, Memory, or Chaos as well as 3 additional effort.

Base 2, +3, makes 5.

The character creation rules say we start with 6 points to spend on Gifts, and 3 points can be spent on binding a new Word. Are you banning the purchase of additional words at character creation?

Does armour stack with the +3 base AC from the effect of the Protection Word? Usually Base AC stacks with Armour, but I think you mentioned Gift AC doesn't stack with Armour AC. If Armour AC doesn't stack with the Protection base AC, then I can't think of any equipment that would be useful.

it's worth noting that the Protection AC isn't a bonus, it just needs converted since we're not using THAC0. 3 THAC0 AC is equivalent to a base AC of 17. (Though my Endurance gift used to be 3 THAC0 AC before the homebrew change, so caecgirl might need to give clarification on that)

Oh I see! I thought it was saying the word granted a natural AC bonus of +3! It never occurred to me it was an actual AC of 3 in the old style. Thank you for clarifying.

 

[caecgirl]

u can do that?

 

[Random Word]

From the rulebook:

You have six points to spend on your gifts and binding new Words. Lesser gifts cost one point, greater gifts cost two, and binding an additional Word costs three. You may only learn gifts from Words you have bound, with one exception; you can spend 2 points to learn a lesser gift from another Word if you can explain how your own powers are creating that effect.

 

[caecgirl]

From the rulebook:

oh. no doing that with the bonus gifts from fae queen because they are bonus gifts not bonus gift points.

 

[Sizniche]

oh. no doing that with the bonus gifts from fae queen because they are bonus gifts not bonus gift points.

the math still works out, because they only spent three gift points on gifts since one of their gifts is free.

 

[Random Word]

Oh, I'm confused. I didn't use the bonus Gift from Fae Queen to bind a fourth Word. I used 3 points to bind a fourth Word, 2 points for a Greater Gift, 1 point for a Lesser Gift, and then the Fae Queen grants one Lesser Gift, and you said you wanted us to be able to defend ourselves, so I chose the Memory power that grants you a gaze attack.

 

[caecgirl]

so u have 4 words... not 5 though. zOh the bonus effort, 4 not 5

 

[caecgirl]

my rp post is done btw

 

[Random Word]

so u have 4 words... not 5 though. zOh the bonus effort, 4 not 5

Yes, sorry, Knowledge is just something I was recording as a future potential purpose.

 

[Random Word]

Sizniche Tachyon do you want our characters to have met before, or has fate just pulled three Godbound into a tavern in a tiny town seemingly by chance?

caecgirl give us more to work with! What draws our eyes to a musician who hasn't started playing yet? Why do we care about him? Do we see each other? Because I kind of feel like the huge shirtless scarred warrior-god, the divinely charming god of ostentatious wealth, and the faerie might command the attention of the room. I'm honestly a litle bit surprised they let Caesura in at all Faeries usually aren't well received in many settings, what with the murdering and kidnapping and whatnot. Maybe fae are nicer in this world.
