Re: Class and Level Geekery XVIII - Everyone's an Expert
Should we give Serini some of the following:
Skills: Bluff and Craft (Alchemy)
Feat: Brew Potion
Class: Rogue/Unspecified Caster
Not sure about most of that but Bluff seems fair at least.

Bluff's technically doable untrained but I suppose it sounds fair.
Also I don't think she's taken caster levels; that pot has "instant magic pot" written on it in runes apparently so I'm guessing it's a crafting item.Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.

Re: Class and Level Geekery XVIII - Everyone's an Expert
Halflings are middle age at 50+ years, old at 75+ years and venerable at 100+ years. We can basically exclude middle aged*.
If she had a randomly generated age by the rules we get:
Halfling's starting age is 20 years.
Rogue adds 2d4 if they roll randomly.
Means if we can assume her age range is 88-94; Old age. (-3 to Str, Dex and Con, +2 to Int, Wis and Cha)
With a handpicked age she could be 34-49 , have no penalties during the scribble saga and end up venerable now. (-6 to Str, Dex and Con, +3 to Int, Wis and Cha)
Technically she could be be as old as 133 and still live by the rules. That would make her 199 years old, close to 200 years that is the maximum age of a halfling.
I am going to assume the Giant wouldn't make her younger then adult, so her minimum age is 86.
*If she was 8 years or younger we could bring back the middle ages, but she doesn't act like a 8 year old.
Anyhow, mostly likely old age, possibly venerable.Last edited by Yanisa; 2021-02-19 at 09:41 AM.

Re: Class and Level Geekery XVIII - Everyone's an Expert
Yah, even though I spent some time in the comic thread arguing that "instant pot" didn't indicate anything about whether the user was a caster, some sort of custom magic pot and her having UMD makes more sense than giving her caster levels just so she can make potions.
Are there any rules for poisons and such that can be brewed by a non-caster alchemist? From a non-rules story perspective that's probably the first assumption you'd want to make but I dunno if there's any RAW way for that to be the case.

If Serini is a pure Rogue and the cauldron is a magic device, can we estimate her Use Magic Device skill?

Re: Class and Level Geekery XVIII - Everyone's an Expert
Hipster Experts like to brew their own potions using home brew-kits.
I can just see a whole late-night infomercial for the magic instant pot here...
"Have you ever wanted to brew your own potions without the hassle of earning class levels? Now, for only 19 gold, 19 silver, 9 copper, you can own your very own magic instant pot! Order now, and we'll throw in this keen masterwork shuriken, a 40 gp value..."Last edited by Ephemera; 2021-02-20 at 09:42 AM.

Re: Class and Level Geekery XVIII - Everyone's an Expert
The closest things I can think of are the magic forges in Races of Stone....a forge of Thautum allows a smith to craft magic weapons and armor as though they had the appropriate item creation feat, and a furnace of flames fulfills spell prerequisites for magic item creation for spells with the Fire descriptor. As is usually the case for use-activated magic items, no UMD check is required.
Conversely, if we're going off the deep end....The lowest UMD DC that comes to mind is 18, assuming the cauldron provides a warlock's imbue item ability (and possibly the use of the Brew Potion feat) and the amnesia effect is a stepped-down (i.e. 3rd-level) variant of modify memory so it's valid for potions.
Or perhaps she's making an entirely non-magical brew with amnesia peppers and the cauldron simply helps with her Craft checks (like a couple of the other magic forges do) so it goes faster. Who knows?Last edited by Jasdoif; 2021-02-21 at 02:17 PM.

Re: Class and Level Geekery XVIII - Everyone's an Expert
The Master Alchemist prestige class from Magic of Faerun gets to brew potions of higher level than 3rd - eventually reaching the ability to brew potions of 9th level spells. And there's nothing flavour-wise in the class that ties it irrevocably to the Faerun-verse.

Re: Class and Level Geekery XVIII - Everyone's an Expert
I feel like making note of Serini's troll-graft is worthwhile, but it's hard to define how. An item? An ability? Does it do anything special?

Re: Class and Level Geekery XVIII - Everyone's an Expert
I don't think so.
Here's the list of spells known:
Based on how it looks we are looking for a "cone" of "negative energy" that most likely allows reflex save for evasion to trigger. Also needs to deal atleast d6 per caster level to threaten an epic rogue.
The closest things on the list seems to be Lightning Bolt (line instead of cold, probably not black), Burning Hands (damage seems to low, range seems to short.) and Finger of Death (failure would be obvious to Xykon) all with major cons.
Some people in the comic thread speculated Disintegrate, but that is generally a green line, not a black cone.Proudly addicted to pointing out where exactly rules can be found.

Honestly I'm mostly just going to view it as cosmetic unless we get evidence towards the contrary.

There is a feat called Troll Blooded, but the only source I find is from the Dragon Magazines (#319). The benefits and name fit, the requirements and downsides not...

Have we seen it actually do something besides that?
I will absolutely suggest it be added if we see it have a tangible effect besides that, I just don't think there's been anything worth adding to her statblock about it except its existence.Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.
