Power’s Pink Price - Chapter 020

Well, no help for it.  Patricia?  

“Certainly…” she summons the laptop, and I get to work.

All right… there’s a few tricks I want soon.  First up: That same Walking god template from which I snagged the ability to grant myself Mythic power?  It also has an option for unlimited mythic power: Mythic Outpouring (Ex).  It removes the cap on use of Mythic; I can spend as much as I want… which will mean I’ll never run out of spells, as Wild Arcana lets me cast any spell on my list that’s of a level I can cast.  And that’s really nice; at 3rd, using the Generic Spellcaster list?  That gets me all of the spells from the Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, and Wizard lists… and that’s a lot, even if it’s limited to spells of a level I can cast (first level spells).  So yes, that’s the first thing I’m getting.  I can do better with a little use of combinatorial synthesis, though.

So next up, I pick my feat: Heighten Spell is what I choose.  Normally it’s a pretty low value feat: It allows me to prepare or cast a spell using a higher level spell slot (up to ninth level), and actually make the spell count as being of that level for all purposes.  That’s it. It can be handy on a spontaneous caster (it makes the save difficulty for a low level spell like Stinking Cloud stay on par for… oh, let’s go with a fifteenth level sorcerer, who normally can do seventh level spells… which helps with the Sorcerer’s limited spell selection and lets the Sorcerer target weak saves and work around immunities better), but for someone with access to their full list like a Cleric, Wizard, Druid, or me?  It’s basically worthless - those classes can just prepare a better spell, and I have access to anything I can cast thanks to Wild Arcana.  It’d be a waste of a feat, except for one little detail… the spells count as higher level for ALL purposes.  My Mythic ring lets me apply metamagic by spending Mythic instead of spell slots… and Heighten Spell is a metamagic feat.  And Mythic Outpouring means I have unlimited Mythic to spend.  So if I use my Ring to heighten a spell, I’m casting a spell of the Heightened level… which means I can cast a spell of that level, so I can use Wild Arcana to cast them, too.  Minimum caster level still applies, but that’s part of why I picked the base item I did for my Mythic ring… it boosts my caster level.  So I have a caster level of four normally, and the two level boost from Wild Arcana puts things up to a caster level of six.  So I cast any old spell with Wild Arcana, use Heighten Spell to push it up to the limits of my caster level - paying for the increase with my free Mythic - and I successfully cast a third level spell.  Which means I can cast third level spells.  Which means Wild Arcana will also let me do other third level spells, like Fly (extra handy, as it’ll let me have useful maneuverability in outer space), Fireball (it’ll be nice to have a basic long-range attack spell on tap), Tongues (no worries about languages now)… the list just goes on and on.  No, I wouldn’t want to pull that on a DM unless they specifically ASKED for something insanely powerful.  Third level spells at level three?  You’re not supposed to get those until level five or six! But this is real life, not some game, so I want every advantage I can get.

Speaking of advantages… my existing regeneration will keep me alive come what may, but it won’t keep me on my feet; if something hits me hard enough, then I’m out like a light… which means I can be kept down by, say, tossing me in a star (which is an actual possibility here!).  So I need something to keep me awake, come what may.  And there IS a way to get that: The Final Fantasy d20 Ogre is a CR three beastie (natively in range for me) that has a fun ability: Ferocity.  It means that an ogre “continues to fight without penalty even while disabled or dying” - and doesn’t include any pesky clauses about dying anyway at a particular threshold of negative HP (unlike most such), making it compatible with Regeneration or the Delay Death spell.  That, along with the Regeneration I already have, means I can pretty much ignore simple damage.  If I get hit by a capital weapon from a starship?  It’ll HURT, sure… but I’ll keep moving.  

I’ll need to think about how to deal with someone who decides to just drown me in concrete or something.  Hmm… how to get out of arbitrary traps…. I do have one more selection for the really good stuff… ah, there we go.  The third party pathfinder Despiser Creature template.  It’s a +2 CR template that grants the “Fractured Dimension” spell-like ability, which does three things: Greater Teleport as a Swift action, Plane Shift as a Swift action, and a weird incorporeal touch attack that puts people or objects into objects (which quickly kills them, generally).  Should get me out of most bindings.

And that covers Freelancer and my feat… oh, I get a new talent from Light Body Technique: Wall stunt.  That could be handy at some point… OK, with the ability to fly on demand, probably not, but eh, I have it now.

My eidolon advances… another hit dice, which also increases my BAB while I wear it… another evolution point… I can fly whenever I want, so the Climb ability is no longer useful, I should drop that Evolution… and spells also have attacks covered pretty well, so I don’t need the second set of claws.  So I’ve got three loose evolution points to spend… Ability Increase(Charisma) will be nice, as it applies to me, and… I guess I’ll go with Skilled(Mysticism), as that’ll be useful when I start crafting magical items.

Spell slots and spells known… barely matter, but I’ll want to focus on Immediate action or Reaction spells, as those are still useful on their own when I can cast anything else as a Swift… skill points just increment… saves get an update… hit points… stamina points… a few other odds and ends.

And then I'm done. Ah… my headache is gone. Great… hmm… maybe I should get Steven… she'll need a new name… in here with the remote for some fun times?  Although, I should check…

I reach into my pants, feeling for my… OK, yes, it's gone. That's… I expected it to happen sooner or later, but… ugh.  Well, I'll just need to find… wait, what?  I'm not finding a hole to slip a finger in, either.  I'm just… smooth down there?  But I need… quickly taking off my pants, I head to the mirror in my bathroom, then climb up on the sink - Fortunately, the captain’s cabin has a big bathroom - and spread my legs.  OK, there's my pubic mound… but there’s nothing there. I just have a smooth skin until my waste disposal… not that I get any use out of that: I have no idea where the food I eat goes.

Great. I’m not a male OR a female. I'm… what? Ace? Null? And I'm still horny. How am I going to get any relief?

My soul guest tries to be helpful, “Well.. you know that spells on you push you further down the road temporarily….”

I'd rather not, thanks.

“Okay, well… genitalia aren't the be-all, end-all of gratification, you know. Your chest should be pretty sensitive at this point as well… I mean, you were already enjoying yourself with them before, and now they should be better.” That… might work, Patricia.

She continues, “Oh, and anal play! I always enjoyed a nice hard rod up my bum, or in my mouth… or both….”

Definitely not ready for that.  But the chest thing… I take my shirt off, and start rubbing. Hmmm… yes, more sensitive than I remember… which I suppose makes sense: I am getting more like my pink perky poltergeist every time.  I wonder… I try bending my head down a bit and pulling my breast up… but I can't quite make a milk tap reach my mouth. No sucking on myself, I guess, at least not for now.  Still… the rubbing feels nice… hmm… and that’s just with the skin of my chest. I wonder what happens when I pinch… OK, yes, that's very nice. My spouts are quite sensitive at this point, and… yes….

I spend a good twenty minutes feeling myself up, playing with my chest, but do encounter a problem: The pleasure and desire both build, and build, and build… but there’s no crest. It feels WONDERFUL… but the more I feel, the more I want: There’s no satisfaction to be had for me this way.

Eugh… fine… fully female for fun… then back to baseline.

Patricia squeals.

I cast a dismissable spell on myself, specifically Greater Mage Armor from Spell Compendium, and watch my chest swell slightly… I check, and… a slight depression, but no lips or anything… another casting… I have a noticeable fold, but it doesn't go in… a third… there we go… WOAH.

A few minutes later I come down off that high. Ooh, that was nice… and now I feel OK. More than okay. I feel fiiine.

Hmm.  You know, with holographic scanners, I could probably start to quantify spells’ effects on me.  And this ship is equipped with them.

Of course, for that… I sigh. I'll need to walk Steven through everything. Wonderful.  Well… no help for it.  I get dressed….
