A Certain Statting Thread
« on: November 17, 2011, 05:07:48 AM »
For characters from To Aru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index) and its spinoff To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun).

First of all, while some of them are pretty high-level, everyone in this series who isn't named Touma has horrible Con.

"ONEE-SAMAAAAAAA!!!"

LN Human Ranger (distracting attack, urban ranger) 4/Monk 2/Blade of OrienDM 6/JusticarCW 8
Feats: Combat Reflexes, Least Dragonmark (Passage), Lesser Dragonmark (Passage), Skill Focus (Gather Information), Sun School, Quick Draw
Equipment: Anklet of translocation, Monk's belt


LN Human Warblade 6/JusticarCW 8
Feats: Carmendine Monk, Combat ReflexesB, Martial Study (shadow jaunt, shadow stride, soaring throw), Skill Focus (Gather Information), Sun School, Track, Quick Draw

Maneuvers: Action before thought, Dancing mongoose, Disrupting blow, Elder mountain hammer, Pouncing charge, Shadow jaunt, Shadow stride, Soaring throw, Sudden leap
Stances: Pearl of black doubt, Press advantage

Teleportation, hogtie, and unarmed combat skill.
Warlock shadowpouncing is iffy as a route, since while it's at-will it comes with a lot of extraneous abilities like eldritch blast.
She does have a blast attack at approximately the right range(and since her ammo is anything she can teleport, thats just dandy). Just that she doesn't use telefrag much what with the lethality and injuries resulting.

Hell it works on solid concrete.

CL boosts (dispel): +11 (+4 Inquisition domain, +5 master specialist, +2 Soultouched Spellcasting)
Dispel CL = 34 (can take 10)

Infinite projectile reflection, infinite reflective counterspells (with CL high enough to laugh at most lv20 casters), plus wizard spells for all the random stuff he can do with his power.
However, you can only counter SLAs once per round and have no defence against Supernatural abilities or melee attacks. Starmantle cloak helps against the latter, but it needs fixing.

This was used as reference. And right now I'm questioning whether Voracious Dispelling/Devour Magic count as abjuration spells, but meh.

EDIT: Urgh, I could have just removed the warlock levels and given him an item of at-will CL20 greater dispel magic for 240,000gp - presumably "counterspells only" could get a discount, but that's ad hoc territory.

Rough build

Touma Kamijou (Lv21)
"I'll destroy that screwed-up illusion of yours!"

LG Human Cleric (Magic, War) 3/Ordained Champion (Destruction) 5/Dweomerkeeper 10/Emissary of Barachiel 3
Mantle of Spells: Antimagic Field, Atonement, Break Enchantment, Greater Dispel Magic, Mordenkainen's Disjunction
Feats (8 +10 VoP +1 exalted VoP): Awesome Smite, Divine Metamagic (Persistent Spell), Extend Spell, Extra Smite, Hammer Fist, Improved Unarmed Strike, Magical Training, Persistent Spell, Power Attack, Practiced Spellcaster (cleric), Quicken Spell, Sacred Vow, Selective Spell, Servant of the Heavens, Superior Unarmed Strike, Vow of Nonviolence, Vow of Poverty, Words of Creation, ?
Epic Feats: Epic Skill Focus (Diplomacy)

Use Ordained Champion to trade the Magic domain's power for a bonus fighter feat. Cast persistent selective antimagic field, excluding yourself from its effects (Extraordinary Spell Aim also works for this).

Open a fight by using Conversion to debuff your enemies, then use Ordained Champion to spam channeled spells through nonlethal unarmed strikes. When they wake up they risk shifting towards lawful good. (Touma's really closer to neutral good, but meh)

So, ideas on Biribiri? I considered Thunderlance for her "sand whip", and something with Born of the Three Thunders (Sound Lance?) for her Railgun.
Other spells include: Electric Loop, Expeditious Retreat, Halo of Sand, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Ring, Scatterspray, Spider Climb, Swift Fly

Also needs something for her electromagnetic sense and ability to block telepathy.
I think you could probably fit most of her capabilities in a Kineticist really.
Maybe. The multi-elements turned me off. Wilder could work if she surges to fire her railgun.
She does use multi elements, she just likes lightning best.
To date she has been seen using Electricity(the area shocks, the bolts and the tazer, its obviously her favored element), Fire(she used it vs the AIM Burst with an electromagnetic superheating), Sonic(the sand cutters are vibrating sand and cut like you expect Sonic to) and Bludgeoning/Piercing(EM hurling of metal).

So shes just highly electricity specialized, though I don't think shes used it to create acid or cold effects yet. Complete Psionics has stuff to focus on one energy type.
For Index, archivist seems the obvious choice. However her Spell Interrupt suggests incantatrix, which requires an arcane caster. I know I've seen alternate ways to handle taking control of enemy spells, but I can't think of them.

Dual class wizard/archivist mashup - something that gets her dual 9's by 20, and then Epic Incantatrix?

With To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S airing right now, I thought I'd come back to this. So here's a PF psionics build (plus some material from Complete Psionic):

Misaka Mikoto, The Railgun

CG Maenad ArdentCP (Air, Knowledge) 1/Cryptic (pattern breaker) 15/Sighted seeker 4
Insights: 4: Bypass Pattern, 6: Shatter Pattern, 8: Claim Pattern, 10: Redirect Pattern, 12: Trap Spotter, 14: Fast Stealth
Feats: 1: Tap MantleCP [Energy], 3: Empower Power, 5: Psionic Meditation, 7: Improved Disruption, 9: Skill Focus (Survival), 11: Expanded Knowledge (touchsight), 13: Favored Energy (electricity), 15: Unlocked Talent (call weaponry), 17: Expanded Knowledge (disintegration), 19: Practiced Manifester (cryptic)
Bonus Feats: Psionic Talent (maenad), Scribe Tattoo (cryptic), Urban Tracking (sighted seeker)
Powers (ardent): deflection field, know direction and location
Powers (cryptic): breach, call to mind, cloud mind, conceal thoughts, danger sense, defy gravity, disrupting strikes, ectoplasmic grapnel, energy bolt, energy push, energy ray, energy wave, kinetic legerdemain, locate secret doors, offensive prescience, personal barred mind, ubiquitous vision, wall walker
Talents (cryptic): far hand, my light
Equipment: Torc of power preservation, +X brawling parade armor, +X shock cestus of power storing, true psicrown of the evader

Cryptic has plenty of acrobatic and utility powers, but not much in the way of blasting; adding the Energy mantle to its list fixes that. The trap-related abilities work on the assumption that all the traps she encounters are electronic. Consider switching out some of the Insights (or taking the Extra Insight feat) to gain Extended Tattoo and Eternal Tattoo, then applying them to touchsight.

Electromagnetic Sense: Trap Spotter + danger sense + locate secret doors + touchsight + ubiquitous vision

Railgun: (Empowered) disintegration

Iron Sand Sword: call weaponry to bring out a scorpion whip (sighted seeker grants proficiency with whips), or disrupting strikes.

Telepathic Block: personal barred mind

Hearing Kuroko Say Anything: Maenad Outburst
