After making so many selections, Tyron still had a number of feats to choose, and the options there were tempting almost across the board. Except for the Forbidden One options; they were still… odd. He wasn’t sure what his patrons were pushing for him to be, but he found increasingly he didn’t care. If he could be successful and survive to tell the tale, that was all he cared about.
Considering the options for Lord of the Ossuary, there were several that he liked. And also various choices that weren’t as interesting. Although it was powerful, Tyron didn’t intend to make the Ossuary itself the focus of his build. His priority was still, of course, his minions and empowering them as much as he could. For that reason, Skeleton Focus IV drew his eye. He’d wanted to take it for a long time, and now was as good a time as any, considering the fighting that would soon come.
For the second choice, he wasn’t sure where to go. Bone Sculptor, Bone Animator and even Class Focus were well worth consideration. Choosing two skills to raise the cap on was something that could help pay off in the long run, but right now, Bone Animator was most likely to provide a direct benefit.
His giant skeletons were technically constructs, and not undead minions. The only thing making them similar to his basic undead was the material they were made from, and their appearance, obviously. Tyron was simply used to working with that shape, so he’d stuck to it.
Selecting Bone Animator, he moved onto the next Class.
Forbidden One had several options he was more than happy to dismiss out of hand. He had less than no interest in currying favour with the patrons, any of them, which left him with limited options.
Ruler in Shade didn’t seem applicable, since he wasn’t likely to be able to hide much any longer. The Three had reinforced his glamour while he’d been in Kenmor, but the cat was out of the bag now.
However, the other choices didn’t appeal all that strongly. Corroding Presence would be useful, to an extent. Being around his skeletons during battle, the feat would help to refill the small reservoirs they contained, giving them even more staying power. The downside would be, if he couldn’t turn off or contain the aura, then he would be leaking Death Magick into everyone around him, including the living. It would make being around him extremely dangerous, and also nullify any attempt to conceal his presence.
