[rei-ismyname]

Sooo, Cyclops (X-Men #3, From The Ashes) was not exaggerating when he said Ilyana/Magik is 'half demon on a good day.'

After all, she was kidnapped to hell/Limbo as a child and ended up running the place. Some recent examples, like what comes of running into a Chaos Godhead staff and some other magic stuff in the wild. You know, just going about her business being a hero and getting sidetracked...

Hehe, psychic nosebleed from being nearby but Magik is okay.

Better than okay even.

Go girl! Those horns are fire, the new speech font slaps and the sense of drama immaculate. Pervert those laws of nature!

Zombie Queen of New Genosha has a nice ring to it.

The uh, slavery is a little problematic. Good thing it was temporary. The Scarlet Witch shouldn't be leaving spells and hectic artifacts around. She doesn't need Angel mansplaining anything to her, that's for sure.

HAHAHA! 'A little moment.' Shut up Beast, she regrets nothing, including the Nightcrawler thirst. Why you bringing that shame around here? (Empyre: X-Men #3-4)

So in Dead X-Men #1, the squad is looking through timelines for a Moira (it's a long story.) Their first try they end up in a timeline where Magik ascended to Lord of All Hells and razed the planet. I can't even begin to speculate how this came about. There is no lord of all hells - there's a bunch of them, and they're very powerful. Mephisto, Nightmare etc. It says a lot that she supplanted them and noone on Earth could stop her. Her very close friends are like 'GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE' and she killed everyone on Earth.

Good for her! I support women's wrongs fully. But yeah, Magik is not someone you want to fuck with.

'Who dares trespass in my realm?' is a banger for when a housemate/family member comes into your room. Try it out!

Milestone Monster: Ragathiel, General of Vengeance

CR 26

Lawful Good Huge Outsider

Bestiary 6, pg. 114-115 (image taken from the cover of Chronicle of the Righteous)

There are many things in common between this Empyreal Lord and the last one we looked at on this blog. In most ways, Ragathiel and Vildeis couldn't be more different; Vildeis was born a perfect angel, while Ragathiel was born a devil and fought against his own nature and his very being to become one. Vildeis was so traumatized by the existence of Evil that she tore out her own eyes so she wouldn't have to see it, while Ragathiel's only wound of note was caused by his father, the Archdevil Dispater. Vildeis bears her scars openly and eschews any armor but the miles of bloodstained bandages over her form, while Ragathiel shields himself in gleaming golden armor to give the impression of an impervious, faultless soldier. Vildeis wields a simple dagger with terrifying effectiveness against single foes, while Ragathiel wields a dramatic two-handed, flaming blade.

But at the end of the day, both of them have the same goal: The eradication of Evil. And they both have the same problem: They're worryingly single-minded about it. Other Archons even worry about Ragathiel's bloodlust, something possibly justified considering how unfortunate his Divine Obedience is, demanding a death every time it's invoked. Despite whatever worry they may have for him, though, Ragathiel seems wholly committed to the battle against fiends of all forms, but especially against the devils and their ilk, whom he executes with impunity and without mercy. His mission is tireless, but one he performs without hesitation or regret. So long as Hell continues to reach its greasy little hands beyond its borders, Ragathiel will be there to stab at its fingers until it retreats... and, on occasion, venturing into the infernal lands to strike it directly.

The General of Vengeance is among the fiercest of all the Empyreal Lords, not afraid to lead his armies from the front at every opportunity, but his approach has some key differences from Vildeis'; she tirelessly wanders with no home or lair of her own, striking down Evil as it crosses her, effectively launching spontaneous campaigns which last only as long as they must in order to eradicate immediate foes before moving on to the next target. Ragathiel is more careful and arguably more thorough, retreating to a grand military base in Heaven to carefully plan his every assault to maximize its impact and the length of time it will take Hell to make another move. He's noted to be a brilliant tactician whose plans have rarely failed, but his prowess truly shines on the battlefield. Once he's landed in the fray he's a sight to behold, as though holy fire itself took up a sword to burn away the corruption trying to infect the world.

Let's see just what that looks like...

Let's start with the basics, since I feel like I have to bring it up every time I spot it: as an angel, Ragathiel projects a 20ft Protective Aura which shields everyone inside (himself included) from the forces of Evil, granting a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus to saving throws against them. The aura also hedges out Evil summoned creatures, grants additional saving throws against charms and compulsions, and blocks hostile spell effects if they're 3rd level or less. No Fireball, no Slow, no Magic Missile, no targeted Dispel Magic, Blindness/Deafness, Silence... The list goes on, with both Ragathiel and any of his nearby allies benefiting from the protection.

It goes without saying that his allies aren't restricted by this; they can throw out all the Fireballs they want! In fact, Fireball specifically is encouraged, but we'll get to why in just a moment...

For now we'll continue with the basics, and it's hard to get more basic than Ragathiel. You take one look at him, and you can immediately tell what he is and what he's going to do: respectively, he's an angelic Paladin in specialized full-plate (Golden Armor, in fact; +5 full-plate with no downsides to his speed or checks!), and he's going to hit you very, very hard with a very, very big sword. His +5 Evil-Outsider-Bane Flaming Burst Holy Bastard Sword is a paragraph of a weapon created for the express purpose of beating devils back to Hell, dealing 3d8+21 damage at base, +2d6 vs Evil creatures and an extra 2d6+2 against Evil Outsiders specifically, and 1d6 Fire damage (1d10 if the sword critically hits, and it threatens a critical on a 17 or higher) as a ribbon on top. In addition to swinging his sword upwards to four times a round, he's got five Burning Wings that can be used as part of his Full-Attack, each one dealing 1d8+5 plus 1d6 Fire damage per hit and forcing a struck enemy to succeed a DC 39 Reflex save or burst into flames for 1d6 more damage a round.

And of course, he wouldn't be a Paladin if he didn't have Smite Evil. He's got it 7 times a day, in fact, and any of his allies within his Primal Aura can expend 2 uses to give all of his allies within the 30ft aura the benefits of Smite Evil against a single target. That's +9 to AC, +9 to attack rolls, and +20 to the first damage roll a given creature makes each round for a whole battalion against one specific target, +40 to damage if the target is an Evil Outsider (and ONLY Evil Outsiders; Ragathiel doesn't get bonus damage against Dragons and Undead!). If the General of Vengeance is leading a charge against a specific diabolic power, all his allies need to do is invoke his Primal Aura, and suddenly even meager footsoldiers can be hitting the main boss as hard as a Barbarian five levels above them! With health to match, as he can freely use Shield Other to help tank hits his more fragile companions would normally fold to.

Even if he has no reinforcements to invoke this power, he's got Gate 1/day to open a doorway right to Heaven to bring them in, shielding and empowering them with his auras. A quick Time Stop also lets him run around and use his 3/day Blessing of Fervor with no lost time to give two dozen plus Turbo Hastes out with each use, and throw out his 3/day Quickened Blade Barrier between each use to trim the battlefield into something more accommodating and prevent an easy enemy retreat.

Ragathiel fights best when surrounded by allies, for more reasons than just his long list of buffs and auras. His Righteous Mantle directly notes his bloodline relation to a demigoddess of fire, granting him numerous fiery blessings; namely, he absorbs Fire damage, treating all incoming Fire damage as healing instead, AND his Fire damage completely ignores any Fire Resistance and Immunity possessed by devils while dealing double damage to them! This is an INCREDIBLE ability... and would be far more useful in a vacuum if he had more than just token Fire damage on his attacks. Indeed, Ragathiel has only one bit of fire in his kit that isn't attached to his wings or weapon, a 1/day Meteor Swarm he's incentivized to drop directly into his own space once he's in melee with a bunch of devils, damaging them (and everything around them) while restoring a good chunk of his own HP. It also means his allies can freely throw Fireballs, Walls of Fire, Meteor Swarms, and other such effects of their own directly at him, which not only harms enemies, but restores his health!

No, his at-will Fire of Judgment doesn't deal any Fire damage, I checked; it burns an Evil creature for 1d6 (1d10 if they're an Outsider, Dragon, or Undead) damage each round with 'cleansing positive energy.'

At the very least, absorbing Fire damage means a great deal of devils suddenly have portions of their arsenal taken from them... though it, ironically, doesn't aid him against his own father, Dispater, who has no Fire damage in his kit. Rather, his Devil's Bane kicks in; this ability gives him +4 to caster level checks against devils, to his own saving throws when saving against diabolic magic, and to the save DCs of all his spells when a devil is being targeted, and this bonus becomes +8 when against Dispater. Dispater actually cannot affect Ragathiel with any of his spells thanks to this, and the General himself has a small chance of landing his own abilities against his father's otherwise towering saving throws!

And while we're on the topic of resilience, why not see how sturdy Ragathiel is? Because, as you may have guessed, the man's nearly impossible to harm in a way that matters. His DR 20 can't be pierced unless the weapon is Epic and Evil, while his Regeneration can only be suppressed by the powers of a deific or Mythic being. He's got the Demigod Suite of status immunities (notably NOT immune to disease, fear, paralysis, stun, or sleep, but those will be rendered non-issues soon) as well as immunity to Acid and Cold damage, and though his saves are ALREADY high, just look back upwards at everything he's got to bolster them!

And then. there it is, the penultimate quality listed on his statblock right before it gets into the rest of his abilities: Lay on Freaking Hands. 10 times a day as a swift action, Ragathiel can give himself an encouraging slap on the chest to restore 17d6 health to himself. Except it's not just 17d6! Righteous Mantle grants him +2 HP per healing dice rolled whenever he magically regains any health, which has no effect on his own healing spell (because it's freaking Heal at 3/day), but it means every LoH use grants him 17d6+34 HP. He can also apply ANY Paladin Mercy to his ability without restriction! And... well, here's the best part:

He can use Lay on Hands no matter what. There is NO condition or effect in the game which prevents him from using this ability as a swift action to wipe away whatever is inhibiting his actions. This means even if he's nauseated, stunned, paralyzed, asleep, staggered, or unconscious due to HP damage, he can wipe the condition off with all the difficulty of a particularly stubborn scab. Thanks to his empowered Lay on Hands and his own demigod immunities, there is NO status ailment in the game besides outright death that can inhibit him unless all 10 of his uses for the day are burned through, because he can use his swift action to break himself out of the effect and still have his entire turn afterwards.

It is probably not surprising that most of Ragathiel's enemies view him as an unkillable juggernaut, ridiculously durable even by the standards of demigods. In high level Pathfinder, rocket tag is ever-prevalent; you need to be able to shut down your enemies before they do the same to you. Well, when battling the General of Vengeance, it's likely you can't. He's all but guaranteed to get his round off, especially if he's high in the initiative order. Unless, I suppose, you put him to sleep, then nauseate, stun, and paralyze him in a single round, since as-written he can only wipe off one a round. Good luck with that, especially if you're a devil!

Empyre: X-Men #4

[captainicequeen555]

DAY 4. Free

FIRST MEETING SCENE!!! From the awesome fic Empyreal Within from the awesome @minamorsart , chapter 1. Go check it out!

It may be quoting Gnomeo and Juliet...

[paperanddice]

Dragons are always looking for new ways to defend their lairs and territory, and an unyieldingly loyal guardian is valued above independent ones. Growing a tree with a dragon's blood and the proper rituals creates a dragonleaf tree, a mobile and powerful minion that will obey the dragon over all other beings. When possible, a dragon will create a grove of dragonleaf trees, a force of defenders it can use itself or loan out to allies to help ensure loyalty. A dragonleaf tree in the middle of a town is both a great defender, and a threat to remind them what may happen if they betray the dragon that watches over them.

A dragonleaf tree can live up to a thousand years, lasting for much of the lifespan of even a dragon. The ritual to infuse a dragonleaf tree does have a temporary cost, as the dragon must sacrifice the use of its breath weapon for a full month, a short time relative to the dragon's lifespan but still a period where it must be very careful. This limits the number of trees a dragon can produce, as it must hide its temporary weakness with each tree, ensuring that the times it is vulnerable are spread out and go unnoticed.

Inspired by the Tome of Beasts 1. This post came out a week ago on my Patreon. If you want to get access to all my monster conversions early, as well as access to my premade adventures and other material I’m working on, consider backing me there!

The Remastered Dragons as Partners

Oh boy, I recently got my hands on the new Monster Core book and boy do I have thoughts on the new Dragons introduced. I'm excited to see Paizo expand the list- especially for the possibility of Daemonic/Demonic dragons & Nirvana/Elysium dragons. But for fun I decided to ask myself which of the new dragons would be best as a Husband/Wife/Life Partner, and here's what I came up with! enjoy!~

#1 Adamantine Dragons are literally described as Steadfast and Loyal. Once they dedicate themselves to you, they'll never stray from you- they'll be at your side forever.

#2 Empyreal Dragons are wise, considerate, and compassionate, and have boundless patience and understanding. All good traits to have in a romance.

#3 Horned Dragons might seem big, bulky, and monstrous, but they're actually very focused on knowledge and self discipline, and they're apparently very open to speaking with outsiders. A Horned Dragon won't beat around the bush- they'll be up front and honest and tell you what you need to hear. They're also pretty beefy and can probably suplex you or any potential threats to you!

#4 Omen Dragons might not be as available as Adamantine, Empyreal, or Horned dragons, instead you might have to be the one to be by their side. They are hounded by visions of the future constantly, which they feel compelled to share with you. You could use their insight to benefit the both of you, or you could simply ignore the prophecies together with them- and just enjoy the moments you have together. Whichever future you two are together is good enough.

#5 Fortune Dragons. I was tempted to rank them above Omen Dragons, but its situational. Theoretically, a Fortune Dragon could be a great partner- treasuring you as the crowning jewel of their collection. However, Fortune Dragons are also fickle- always looking for something new and original. If you were consistently interesting, they'd stick by you and treasure you. However, if you started to become routine their interest would wane and they'd cheat on you for their next new fling.

#6 Mirage Dragons are the first entry in the 3 I like to call the "emotional abuse" tier. It's hard to rank these 3 because they all sound terrible to have as partners. But Mirage Dragons seem slightly less bad than Conspirator Dragons and Diabolic Dragons. Mirage Dragons are vain and egotistical, and will manipulate you into staying with them or believing something they think is beneficial to them. If you're ready to devote your whole life to worshiping someone, then I suppose you're ready for a Mirage Dragon.

#7 Diabolic Dragons are tyrannical and abusive, but at least they're up front about it. They have a very dominating presence, and will probably force you to convert to worshiping Devils if you aren't already doing so. Sees themselves as an alpha and will try to break your will and corrupt you into a willing servant of Hell.

#8 Conspirator Dragons will not only manipulate, gaslight, and control you- they will delight in doing so. They will lie to you and keep lying to you for no other reason than it thrills them to do so. You do not "date" a Conspirator Dragon- they own you, mind and all, and they will socially engineer you into a doll they can play with whenever it suits them. That's why they're bottom of the tier list.

But what do you think? Would you rank any of the Dragons higher or lower than I did? Feel free to let me know!

Who is....Tom Cassidy | Black Tom Cassidy? - A Reading Guide

Tom Cassidy is an X-Men affiliated mutant from Marvel comics first introduced in 1976. He is the cousin of Sean Cassidy (Banshee) and a father-figure to Theresa Cassidy (Siryn/Banshee). Tom is heavily associated with Cain Marko (Juggernaut), who he met in prison. Tom's powers are directly tied to the land, and are heavily related to bio-kinesis. During the Krakoan era, Tom fused with the mutant island, Krakoa, which caused him a great deal of distress and drastically changed how he interacts with the world around him.
