The Stone-Eater wants Archimedes to find a "flesh supplicant" for "bacchanal rites" which implies (to me at least) bizarre sex fueled by drunken revelry and religious fervor. Archimedes is unfit on the merit that he is entirely made of metal.radthemad4 wrote:Might as well ask what the nature of the favor the stone eater needs is. If it's say, constructing a stone building or digging a ditch or tunnel, Orr will happily sub in.

OK, that was actually a pretty good deal since Archimedes still has a Constitution of 18 after the penalty.
Can Archimedes still wear the wyrmfang amulet along with the triskelion or does he have to take the former off (the triskelion presumably takes the same amulet slot, if we're using body slots)

Yeah that massive Wisdom boost'll probably sort of help make up for the Arcane Spell failure thing. Any ideas on how to reduce that though?

Well partially it depends on whether we can add more splatbook material when leveling up (and I can see AH going either way on that quite reasonably.)
The best core solution would just be to take combat spells that have no somatic components (and thus no chance of spell failure.) I have enough slots that I can just risk failing on low I'm probably taking Blindness/Deafness as my 2nd level spell next level for that reason.
If I weren't a sorcerer then I could get a lot out of still spell but having to take a full-round action and a higher spell slot kind of sucks. Still might be worth it though.
For non-core material:
Whispercast (from lords of madness) trades a 2nd level slot and a swift action to auto-still any spell of 5th or lower (so basically anything I'll probably ever cast in this game) I cast. Which is essentially like still spell, but I keep my move action and spend a 1st level spell slot instead, and at higher levels is strictly better than still spell for sorcerers.
A level of spellsword (complete warrior) reduces ASF by 10% without losing any spellcasting, although I'd understand not wanting to allow a multiclassing fix prestige class in a gestalt game. Even if it is allowed it has a bunch of prerequisites I'd need to meet and I'd still have a failure chance of 40% so it doesn't seem worth it.
There are also some alternate class features and feats that ignore spell failure from light/medium (possibly heavy somewhere) armor but since the spell failure comes from a magical effect and not armor I don't think that would work.

Since Kaelik's Tome Errata is in use, the Subtle Spell feat can let you use spells one lower than your max without somatic components without increasing spell level.

Kickass.Kaelik's metamagic rules wrote:Spontaneous casters and SLA users must choose which metamagic feats to apply when they cast them. Spontaneous spellcasters don't take longer to cast spells with metamagic feats. That's just silly.
Of course that's only when I next get a feat, which won't be for a while.

How much do bronze mirrors cost? Small, steel mirrors that weigh half a pound cost 10 GP according to the SRD.
