ZEITGEIST #9 - The Last Starry Sky: Part 3
Added 2020-02-14 18:43:27 +0000 UTCPerhaps feeling some butterflies in your tummy today or a spot of nervous indigestion? Maybe its your appendices that are the culprit—worry not because today's post is all about appendices! This segment of the module brings ZEITGEIST #9 to its official close with an appendix for each of the following: the Rites of Rulership (rules for monarchs that the PCs will get to make use of), statistics for Fey Lords, Allied NPCs, and Naval Forces, and Magic and Training covering such goodies like the borenbog's gourd, crown of risur, and the mask of the unseen court. The 19 NPCs in this PDF include Palace Guards (CR 9), Monarch Thisraldion (CR 18), Atala (CR 15), Karrest the Fire (CR 15), Furg the Toadstool Sage (CR 15), Sallin the Dryad (CR 15), Olazdor the Archfey of Winds (CR 15), Beshela the Archfey of the Sea (CR 14), Lerina the Reseen Marauder (CR 14), Lavac the Gremlin Herald (CR 12), Darbony the Gruff Goat (CR 12), King Aodhan Lesterman (CR 15), Principal Minister Harkover Lee (CR 16), Asrabey Varal (CR 15), Dame Jillian the Green Knight (CR 12), Amielle Latimer (CR 9), Lauryn Cyneburg (CR 14), Stover Delft (CR 11), and Hana "Gale" Soliogn (CR 12).
Comments
The bonuses from Lord of the Land use the monarch's proficiency bonus to match with existing rules and mechanics in 5E (specifically to account for bounded ability scores and everything that entails). So in short the answer is the king—you can see it in action in the statblocks for Monarch Thisraldion, King Aodhand Lesterman, and Stover Delft.

2020-02-28 03:56:17 +0000 UTCThe Lord of the Land ability talks of power being elevated to match the strongest individual among his enemies, but the mechanics only mention things based on a proficiency bonus, e.g. "A bonus to attack rolls and saving throws equal to proficiency bonus." Is the intent for these bonuses to scale with the proficiency bonus of the strongest individual, the king himself, or the difference in proficiency bonus between the king and the strongest individual?

2020-02-25 12:45:40 +0000 UTCThat should indeed be a bonus action (a fixed file has been uploaded). As for Stover—I thought he needed the extra oomph in this version and that it makes more sense that he get the whole suite of bonuses rather than just the one bit.

2020-02-14 23:29:14 +0000 UTCOn page 3 under Lord of the Land it references using a "Swift" action. Should that be a bonus action? Also, is it intended that Stover Delft have the full powers of the Monarchy (Lord of the land, Monarch saves, Regeneration)? In the Pathfinder version he only had the 5hp Regeneration, not the other abilities.
