I'm definitely evil, but never sure if my powers are wizardry, psionics, or from a dark god. What's the best way to check?

I keep suggesting upgrading from skeletons to spirits bound into suits of armor, but my partner doesn't like the aesthetic. What's a good way to convince her of the benefits? I mean, we would have both, she just is against the look.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:I'm sorry, is your wizard lady friend against armored skeletons or the concept of magically animate me armor itself? Because skeletons in some nice armor (maybe with a visored helmet) would be a nice compromise and show you are willing to listen and work with her. We've got some armored skeletons and some loincloth skeletons. She didn't like the green spirit fire that bound the armor together, and all I could say is "honey, that's just what they look like" and she made me put the test model into the lowest crypt to guard the holiday decorations. I guess I'll just save some more and upgrade all the skeles into nicer gear.

Way too much effort for dwarves. Just have a your golems squash them like any other uninvited guests. Also, does anybody have advice on getting vampires not to bite during orgies? They definitely know how to party otherwise, but always end up bringing out the fangs when they've been warned not to.

I kinda got to agree with the guy, tho. Unless you make your bound slaves do something, you're just jerking yourself off. Selfish fulfilment is a lesser evil to hateful conquest. But us wizards can definitely conquer faster and more efficiently.

Why not both, as I always say? One or two golems bodies to activate when needed and a set of skeletons to do typical work and raise the alarms. Also: RIP Alfonz, who burst into flame when he bit the apprentice paladin I was corrupting. Vampires never take a warning seriously. Rory, otoh, benefitted greatly from the experience and wants to lead a raid on a convent next month.

What's the best way to get skeletons to look good in a suit? I've been trying to make my lair a little classier, and have been hoping to get some nice uniforms for all the minions. They just look so baggy and cheap even on a high quality skeleton.

Lol if you think that'll save your good looks. As soon as you stop drinking the blood of the young, you'll start mummifying and/or decomposing. Just like all the other liches.

See, this is why I stick to personal evil and gratification. Lots harder to get caught up in a narrative if you're just corrupting sexy librarians and using magic for personal benefit without thought to right or wrong.

Wrong Vecna, dude. We hang with Vecna of Imroglia. He's like 80% human and knows how to party. You're thinking of Vecna The Great, who was a demigod before becoming a lich. A demi-lich who somehow manages to be more uptight than a priest. Also, still lolling at my vampire buddy who melted his face off trying to drink from a holy woman before she was corrupted. Dude still hasn't regenerated fully.

My question is always why you'd want to do flesh or bone golems when earth and metal are so easy to get. Yeah, they're a huge step up from zombies and skeletons, but clay and brass and animated armors or are right there. And they don't stink up the workshop while you're piecing them together. Unless you're super specialized as a necromancer???

My bet is still on the side of traditional pacts. Derivatives and options just seem like a long-con. Eventually one of the big players is going to crash the system by deliberately causing a minor apocalypse, and then they'll collect on your rear end.

Just dominate them, implant the suggestion, then release the hold over their mind. Effective, lasts for a long time (until you do something stupid and they change their mind), doesn't show up as bring under the effect of a mind-altering hex if they get checked, won't accidentally get dispelled, and most importantly won't drain your power with a bunch of sustained effects. This is how I got my companions to stop cramping my style. But you need to have them trust you enough to let their guard down and be careful about implanting the right suggestions.

Usually. Depends on what ritual you're using. I think only Garnoral's Embodying and the variants get around that. But it can be hard to find a copy of it, and is a bitch to pull off. Plus side is the flesh golem stops smelling so bad, but I'd rather just bind elemental spirits into household objects. Creepy dolls and suits of armor are really easy. Or just strait up bind a freely-forming elemental, if you've got the cajones for it. Not many clerics have actual magic weapons, just blessed ones. Edit: flesh and bone golems are still undead, but stronger enough to kill the cleric first, is I think what the above poster means. Unless his plane has a lot more copies of Garnoral's Speleothing fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Sep 20, 2017 |

Going deep into necromancy right away is a good way to get burnt out. Often Literally. Learn to talk to the spirits of the dead, learn to animate and command skeletons and zombies. The basics to make life easier around the tower, then go hard into elementalism.

Thing about good wizards is that without binding the spirits of the ancient scholars or learning from demons, it takes forever to master the really good spells. And then they just die of old age like chumps!

Use three or four corpses, nothing but the muscles on the inside and the bones as armor. Golems don't need to follow the expectations of bodily conformation. Edit, I'll take the poison sacks, but put them into my butler, will you?

How good are you at soul binding? Split the spirit of a faithful servant in half. Then put one half into a clay figurine and the other into the dragon. Should become much easier to control. And tell me how this works because I've not had a chance to try it yet.

Blazing Ownager posted:Do invisibility spells work on radar? You'll need another spell for radar. And one for IR. It's dumb, but it's just how things work. However, (if you've got a servant to do minor some steering,) I'm gonna say that if you're fairly near to a city, then your invisible floating tower's base only needs to be higher than a standard extension ladder (+ a margin of error). Or you could pull a trick with a floating tower that looks like it's part of a standard building until the proper time comes.

I normally don't mention unions (since I don't want my undead servants to get organized), but since you're here, sapient, and asking (and I'm in a demiplane where they won't hear me) I'd suggest seeing if there's a local USW hall. They usually have postings for jobs and for classes. Don't do boohber, they'll just chew you up and spit you out.

It's dominate the world, not rule it. Leave ruling to all the terrified nobility and just force them to give you whatever you want when you drop by to collect. Build your pleasure palace atop your fortress of evil and skip out on all the lovely parts of (un)life.
