[Celadon's Penultimate]

As the girl went sailing back, Amara remarked curtly, "That oughta show ya."

Little bravado colored her face or showed in her stance, but she was quite satisfied with having knocked the girl back so cleanly. She hadn't perpetrated a hit that nice in a couple days.

Though, in hindsight, she would have to admit it was unwise to stay standing there to long to admire her handiwork. Forwhen she heard the call of 'SHINING RAY!', there were mere seconds to coordinate just what to do next.

The light first blinded her for an instant, and then she regained sight from the flash too slow. She knew there was no chance of aiming as her eyes readjusted to the dimly-lit street. So she focused her psychic power downward, into her legs.

Backflip.

Through the air.

SLAM.

THUD.

She'd forgotten that there was a wall directly behind her, and her fumbling flop to the ground did absolutely nothing to prevent Artie from toppling right on top of her bodily. Though, at first, Amara couldn't even manage to muster up the anger to push the large Gargoyle off of her. She would just sit there beneath his weight, a second, and be embarrassed.

He saw her backflip,and saw her slam into a wall. He saw her fall to the ground, and so he leaped.

Artie landed on her chest, crosslegged and crossarmed. "Now, we'll see about my toll! RAY! Corey Special: Five Stones!"

Ray disappeared, and light serged from the gargoyles pores as his skin and boned began turning to heavy stone. About half of Artie shifted, becoming heavier and heavier.

"Come on, don't make me go up to seven."

(We weren't done here, Wulf.)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Let's get some multi-fights back up in here

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Agreed, I have a character that I'd like to use. Her name's Shigemoto Akuma and is a member of Wen Mai's family (weakest member too).

Not telling why her name is Akuma though before anyone fights her.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Personally, I just want to fight with my quartz powers again...

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I will destroy you. Every last one of you. Let's GO!!!

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Alright, who wants to choose location?

[Zaleramancer]

What's the power level?

I can provide a local and if needed, refs. :)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Well let's see, when I created Shigemoto Akuma's character, I made her a third level character under the Pathfinder system, however modifications from her race make her approximately CR 12 with 2 Mythic Ranks.

Her HP and Damage is a little higher than it should be, but her saves are all well below what Pathfinder's Bestiary expects them to be like.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I don't play pathfinder and don't know what that means.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Pathfinder is a redone version of D&D 3.5.

CR is a way of stating how dangerous a given being is and Mythic Ranks are a system to increase a character's power that is usable alongside the standard leveling system.

Third-level characters of course haven't had much combat training and Second-tier Mythic characters are on the low-end of mythic power.

Thus, Akuma hasn't had much training (level 3) and isn't as powerful as she could be (MR 2), but she's still fairly dangerous (as per the CR 12).

[Zaleramancer]

CR 12 in the 3.5 edition of D&D is about the power of a Kraken or a young dragon.

Or a humpback whale sized scorpion.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Yup, most of the power for the Shigemoto household in the earlier levels is due to their race... For good reason too.

In Pathfinder, though CR 12 is the power range of an Adult dragon and the average Lich. At least, that's according to http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/monsters/monstersByCR.html.

[Zaleramancer]

The Mythic system is for Epic characters, isn't it?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I shall scale myself accordingly and limit myself only to the use of quartz based powers.

[Zaleramancer]

So, Ground is a good thing.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Incorrect, according to Mythic Adventures itself, the Mythic system can be used simultaneously with the leveling system or to give extra playing time for characters that a player or GM wants to keep using even after they've hit level 20.

According to the forums on paizo.com, several of the players have found that tacking on 1-2 mythic tiers to a level 2-4 character is about as dangerous as having a level 3-6 character anyway, so the mythic system isn't that gamebreaking in many player's minds at the lower levels.

Once you get higher than that though, the difference between a mythic character and a non-mythic character becomes very obvious with the mythic character being far more powerful.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Understood, Shigemoto Akuma will probably be straining herself to her limits throughout the battle... And that's a good thing.
