Yeah, 32 str and con is kinda meh. I wanted to make the best mundane i could figure out. I coulda done better I think, but I wasn't totally disappointed with the results.

Blasphemy is affected by SR is what I meant.

We had fun plotting against the church. We never made it into any combats although I blinded everyone once.

I appreciate the logical, cool-headed responses and the lack of profanity displayed by our community.

Hey, credit where credit is due, definitely. I am not very good at charop.  I try to get the most out of builds I put together, but many other people could do way better.

I may want to try to reverse engineer some of the spells you used to get that huge charisma for another character of mine. :D

Everytime I try I get distracted by flavor or something neat sounding.  :(

Same, pretty much. I get worked up trying to justify choices so they make sense for the character. I'm even putting together a build using Oslecamo's God class, and worried that having 'Change' as part of my portfolio is too vague and open to abuse. And I'm taking the Force domain because the character has always used a lot of force magic in the past, before being retrained into the God class, even though the Force domain is pretty cruddy overall. Luckily I'm being allowed to take the Customize Domain feat from Dragon so I can customize the spell selection, but still, it's not the most optimal choice.

Simple enough.
Sorcerer

Add to that

Ability Enhancer (Dragon Compendium): Any transmutation spell you cast that enhances ability scores increases the ability scores by +2 more than it normally does. For example, casting bull's strength with this feat grants the subject a +6 enhancement bonus to Strength, instead of the usual +4 enhancement bonus.

Fell Energy (Dragon Compendium): Any numerical bonus granted by a spell modified with this feat increases by +2 for all undead creatures it affects. This increase does not apply to factors such as range, save DC, healing, or other numerical factors relating to a spell. Only effects described as bonuses gain this benefit. A fell energy spell takes up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.

Quigo also made usage of NecropolitonLM, Lesser Unseeli Feyhomebrew, Magic-BloodedDragon #304, and Lesser CansinDragon #297.

Edit - Improved the entry a hair. Now lists spell type and OA's age rules. Updated this post as well. Also have this;

Doesn't Devil's Ego change your type to Outsider, thus negating the benefits of Fell Energy, which only boosts undead?

You are still an Undead Creature when you were first affected by the Spell and Fell Energy doesn't state the effects end if your type changes at any point afterwards.

I mean, you'd literally have to state you were unaffected by Devil's Ego, and thus no Type change, in order to say you were not an Undead Creature when the Fell Drain enhanced Spell effected you. There is no other possible way to state it.

I'd do the same with Snake. If he makes it to 3DS / WiiU... :(

Pfft, I've already vowed to use the Wii Trainer.

Because being KOed by a hula hoop will do more to damage your reputation that my Smash skills ever will.  :P

My friend just got that on his Wii. Turbo-mode Ganondorf is... ridiculous, to say the least.

I plan to start the game up again after I finish my current pbp. Probably this summer... But with only 1 team.  :p

Maybe not all of us since I'm rather iffy on whether I want to do PBP anymore.  Thankfully Crash was my most straightforward character out of all I've put together, so I could perhaps work it if a big brute is needed.
