[My Name is Immaterial]

Since when would we care about going that deep?

Besides, all the treasure and fighting is above water level, no need to waste money on something extravagant (And how would we even move it around anyway as well.)

Never assume things like that .

Well, if there IS treasure below water, I think Seldain could just pass his Necklace of Adaptation around to a couple other people, so we'd all be holding our breathe most of the time, but still able to get fresh air every so often. As for the fighting, he would hog it to himself because screw you guys, sharks are fucking scary.

Actually, it's pretty funny to watch them eat each other. And then even funnier when they try to swim backwards.

Mind control is Better than Best Magic.

Fakedit: So, how much RPXP do we get from this thread, Remuthra?

[tahujdt]

Well, we get anything that does shock damage, and it's an instant deep-frier for anything in the water

That's...electrivity doesn't work that way.

Well, in DnD it does. I think. Maybe. I will research this.

Also, I have been investing primarily in lightning spells. I may have to rethink this.

[Taricus]

Nono, if you've been investing primarily in lightning spells, it means we get instant fish and chips anywhere. If we had the potatoes for the chips

[GreatWyrmGold]

Electricity spells are aquagnostic. Or maybe the water's surface blocks line of effect, I don't remember.

Fire-subtype spells do.  Electricity-subtype spells, as far as I've been able to tell, have no similar explicit statement, and thus, in all likelihood, whatever magic keeps the spell from shorting out anywhere else above the water also keeps it on-track underwater as well. 

At least, I hope so, because I do not want to zap myself every time I cast a spell. ^_^

[Taricus]

I'd rather see that you did Culise, only for the sheer hilarity of it XD

After doing some more reading, tahujdt, if you wanted a parrot familiar, it has the exact same stats as a raven. But it's a parrot instead.

Also, from the DM's Guide:

Nonmagical fire (including alchemist’s fire) does not burn underwater. Spells or spell-like effects with the fire descriptor are ineffective underwater unless the caster makes a Spellcraft check (DC 20 + spell level). If the check succeeds, the spell creates a bubble of steam instead of its usual fiery effect, but otherwise the spell works as described. A supernatural fire effect is ineffective underwater unless its description states otherwise. The surface of a body of water blocks line of effect for any fire spell. If the caster has made a Spellcraft check to make the fire spell usable underwater, the surface still blocks the spell’s line of effect.

A parrot actually makes more sense for a familiar that can speak languages.

Nah, ravens (or was it crows) are well known to learn words as well.

Both ravens and crows are wickedly intelligent.

Crows in Japan use stoplights to crack nuts.

They wait until the light turns red, then put the nut in front of the tires of a car. Light turns green, car goes, nut gets crushed, crow get food.

[Taricus]

Either way, can we get a post in the IC thread already Remuthra?

Ravens. Crows don't even have MM stats or a PHB familiar option. (I think they show up in the DMG, though.)

I hope no one minds, but I ever so slightly redistributed my stat block. Specifically, I moved two of my points-bought from Wisdom to Charisma, and added the one point we get from level four in to Charisma as well, since I had previously neglected to use that attribute point. All this really contributes to is that my Will save is one point lower, my DC on my Detect thoughts is now 13 instead of twelve, and I have one more point in a few skills, or one less in some others.

Oh! The stat point at level four! I just realised I had forgotten to assign it!
