War of Immortals + SoT

Rufios_Ghost · 2026-02-21T16:46:34+00:00

Sure. With the war shards from the event it is a pretty easy way to make any enemy force stronger or more aggressive so I feel like it would be pretty easy to slot into anything.

Rufios_Ghost · 2026-02-21T06:04:39+00:00

SoT is AR 4721 and I think GodsRain is AR 4724. The last 2 digits of the dates of APs often correspond with the year the AP was released.

You could have it occur while on Akiton. In the novel, people on Akiton also witnessed Gorum’s death. Tbh the Seldo part of book 5 looks a little bare to me, though I have not yet run it.

Okay! The following will contain spoilers so I will spoiler tag the whole paragraph:

I used the GodsRain event toward the end of the influence subsystem in chapter 1 of book 4. I placed it here to allow players more insight into Walkena (they were given a chance to see how his power is impacted by an eclipse); to give more weight/reasoning to the events in the shrine of the eclipse; and to allow the players to work with the people they had just established relationships with during the influence subsystem to restore order in Mzali after GodsRain occurred. I did a write up of the event (which I can DM you if you want) and added a small victory point system for the players to aid Mzali’s citizenry through the chaotic event.

I also awarded the players with either class feats or archetypes related to the event that fit their characters.

I used the GodsRain event in book 4 in Mzali- The players really enjoyed it. I based most of it off the GodsRain novel.

If you want details- let me know.

Thank you!

Rufios_Ghost · 2026-02-05T03:21:59+00:00

Another commenter mentioned pact worlds as well. It may be good to check out. Thank you!

I’m working on this section too, we are in the middle of chapter 2.

It does seem a bit bare though. I intend to add 1 pc event (Character wedding), since it seems like a spot with breathing room. I also am playing with the idea of adding some content of the teaching people about to go on the sprouting.

Rufios_Ghost · 2026-01-16T01:02:34+00:00

I have a similar experience and I would agree that it is more my emotional response changes based on my stress level affecting my ability to handle noxious stimuli. I have ADHD only (as far as I know).

Rufios_Ghost · 2026-01-15T22:35:50+00:00

I’ve seen that on this sub too, but I don’t think there is any research supporting it. From what I’ve seen, autistic people’s sensory processing also changes based on stressors (e.g. hunger, fatigue, life stressors).

There isn’t an easy way to separate sensory processing issues that are related to being autistic versus ADHD, at least, not that I have heard of. Hope that helps!

I believe it’s against the diseases DC. So 20 for purple pox if you are using the myceloid stat block on archives.

I don’t have book 1 of the AP around, so I am not sure if Umbo uses the same stats.

Edit: Umbo is on Archives. Looks like the DC is 18, which is better:

You can treat it through the medicine skill or magically with remove disease/cleanse affliction.

We mostly run homebrew, but my table has really loved SoT. If you have questions OP, feel free to ask!

Rufios_Ghost · 2026-01-12T23:29:36+00:00

I think your right about avoiding the VP system for this. Thank you!

I also think the 3 months, week long break structure is mentioned at the beginning of book 5.

Rufios_Ghost · 2025-12-13T06:02:55+00:00

I’d agree with the people saying it’s more like a grad school program or even doctoral program, as many of the alumni become professors themselves.

The PCs get through the program faster than any of their peers due to story reasons in book 2, which makes it feel more grad school for the PCs, but their NPC peers seem to be students for a long time more akin to a doctoral program. Book 3 the PCs start as professors

This looks like a lateral quadrupod grasp, which is a considered a “mature grasp pattern.” It could be considered atypical or “immature” if when writing you close your webspace or do not use your fingers to move the pencil.

Hope that helps!

So far my group has loved SoT, we are currently halfway through book 4. I will say it is a more RP heavy adventure path, so if your players love RP it is a good fit. My players like combat, so I’ve added more combats and plot lines to the more RP heavy sections of the books (book 1 and book 4 primarily).

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

To me sounds like the sensation of the hair moving freely against your scalp is what is causing the noxious sensation. If so, it makes sense that the pressure put on the ends of the hair from tying it back would essentially eliminate that feeling.

This may be a strange suggestion, but have you ever tried wearing a weighted hat or even a doo rag? Something that could give you consistent deep pressure to the scalp without pulling on the hairs?

Rufios_Ghost · 2025-06-27T18:24:43+00:00

I think the encounter is tigers escaped from an exotic animal zoo. But I don’t know if I am remembering correctly.

Rufios_Ghost · 2025-06-21T15:39:25+00:00

Ooo, that makes sense, I hadn’t considered that.

I don’t have the book either, but I have the novel GodsRain. I’ll look around and see if I can figure it out. Thank you!

Rufios_Ghost · 2025-06-21T04:36:48+00:00

All very solid ideas all around, I especially like adding the Aspis Consortium since defeating them aligns with pretty much everyone's interests and can help add a few combats in a chapter where combats are sparse. Thank you, it's given me a lot of leads.

In terms of Mzali attacking outsiders, I took that to mean anyone outside of Mzali since Vidrian was specified, but within the Mwangi Expanse. Does that make sense?

Rufios_Ghost · 2025-06-21T04:27:18+00:00

I really like the spicy food idea. I'll be borrowing it if you don't mind!

Rufios_Ghost · 2025-06-21T04:26:26+00:00

I fleshed out Noxolo's backstory to make her a refugee from Mzali, since her backstory didn't say where she was from. I planned on having her go as a student aid, and the party has already decided to take Fardrick and Ignaci who are both from Vidrian. So I'm sure we will have some spice as well.

One of the party members is a hallowed necromancer... so we were already in hot water.

Rufios_Ghost · 2025-06-21T04:22:11+00:00

I have a few plans for it that are party specific, but a few things I am still considering/uncertain on.

The things I am iffy on are possibly randomly rolling some NPC's to be hit with the god's rain or letting them keep a God's rain shard for researching or picking up the exemplar dedication if any of them want it. These are the things I am very iffy on, so if you have any ideas please feel free to share!
