Took me forever and a day, but anyways, my spirit weapon, last of my tasks, is below.

[spoiler]Preahiejir: Draconic for "Heartsblood"
+1 Athame (Dagger, damn spellcaster weapon proficiencies!)
Peahiejir, draconic for "Heartsblood," is drawn straight from Mytos' chest, where globs of what seem like blood spew forth as though the blade were actually removed after a stabbing wound. the blood does not touch the ground, but floats somewhat (like a lavalamp), and blood further spilt might adhere to this as well, if spilt nearby Mytos.[/spoiler]Too much on the flavor side? Basically, I was going for a sort of "blood aura," since just a glowing magic weapon seemed cliche. I mean, I can already see blood (lifesense!), why not make it a bit trippy?  :D If it's too much though, I get that, and it can be removed.

That being said, in regards to snarky posts about whipping out my coffin for sleepy-time, I just realized that should I leave the bag open, I can crawl inside my coffin, inside the bag of holding, and sleep there. Alternatively, I could still get a room for myself, being a prissy noble and all, but still, that's hella funny.

That seems fine to me. You guys can be as descriptive as you want with the shield/weapon and such, since it really doesn't have any effect on gameplay.

Ok, so the sound of things lead me to believe everyone will be ready to go by the start of next week. We can start earlier than that, of course.

Thistle, you might want to consider the Momentary Alteration feat, since you already have Magic In the Blood. 1-minute alter self 3/day into one specific form. You just need to have UMDed an item of alter self at some point.
My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

He said he wasn't putting ranks into UMD.  :bigeye

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

1 rank. Keep trying with an eternal wand until you succeed, then sell it. :p

I'm not sure that spelltouched feats count as being racial for magic-in-the-blood.

I thought it had been ruled that Magic in the Blood applied to all of Thistle's SLAs?

No, you're thinking of TML's SLA recharging. I never said anything about allowing magic in the blood to increase non-racial SLAs.

(IE: If the particular magic is not in the blood, then it doesn't apply. :P)

Although from flavor reasons, you will be, of course, completely willing to let it apply to all the 1/day warlock SLAs, right?

Perhaps he's referring to the 24h duration ones?

all Warlock and DFA invocations are considered SLAs.  I don't need alter self since I can already disguise self AND have a hat of disguise...

Well, you can Disguise Self because of the Hat of Disguise.
