Questions.

1) Is it valid to use Energy Substitution on a force effect, to make the damage a particular energy type?
2) Same question, but for Elven Spell Lore (which is worded differently)?
3) If both of the above are "no", would it be possible to enchant individual caltrops to do 1 point each of energy damage, and then roll around on them?

Bump.

Also, Aye, is there anything you need help with for the world?

I'm reworking Ransom's stuff to take into account his reduced CL.

I'd say yes to #1 and #2

Another question.  Does Master Spellthief make Theurgic Specialist obsolete?

EDIT: ...and another.  Could a shadow miracle be used to change one's type?  This would be a la the Wish entry under major rituals in Sav Spec.

#1: should think so, although you lose a spellcasting level from the necessary Spellthief dip.
#2: Yes

Nothing in particular. I've just been really busy these past weeks(and no rest in sight), so help with anything would be appreciated, really.

Same with the busyness. Between classes and being in the middle of the 8 week debacle that is dealing with Spring Break for everyone else at Daytona, plus the NASCAR and motorcycle events, I haven't had any time at all to work on character stuff. I've got some free time coming up soon, though.

Ayegill, should I send you my WIP character sheet and backstory, or just post it(It's rather long)?

I am not sure what needs doing, but I am not too busy currently.

Just post it in the thread. Wrap the various segments in spoiler tags.

Posted it.

The second level of cleric actually seems like a bad idea though...
Maybe mystic theurge. Does factotum work as the arcane spellcasting class?
Could I qualify as foluchan lyrist using cloistered cleric lore as bardic knowledge?

Can I get anti-feats for the personality copied via Nom's Assume Identity SQ (which is itself from eating an Ethereal Doppelganger). I understand if the answer is no, but decided it was worth asking in order to squeeze in a judicious amount of physical combat feats instead of relying almost solely on casting. Gish-y goodness yum!

All you need for combat feats is Mirror Move.  Put it in a continuous item to have them all the time.

I'd never come across that spell before. That's awesome, thanks!

Good afternoon all.

Posting to say hello, and to throw out a concept. Simple and direct:

Warlord with army of the undead.

I'm having a little assistance already in building the character, and my primary concern is the flavor of the character rather then the ability to fire continent-devouring eye-lasers as a free action. Once the build nears completion I'll post more stuff.

Welcome, my friend!

I think Ransom has you covered there.  Aye, will you check my math here?  I think Ransom is the Bowling Ball Gatling Gun of DOOM...
  • Ransom can use RoS TK to toss 96 weapons.  Let's have them be orcish shotputs (base damage 2d6,19-20/x3).
  • He then uses Reach and Chain on a Greater Mighty Wallop, targeting all the shotputs, for 24 size category increases.
  • It seems from the size to damage progression from the SRD that every 2 increases doubles the damage die size.  Thus, we would have 2d6 x 212 = 8192d6 each.
  • If all of them hit, it would be 96 x 8192d6 = 786432d6 damage.

Any of that seem off to you?  Of course with Suffer the Flesh shenanigans the number would be larger.

^ The 3.5 damage record uses up arrow notation! :o
This is small comparatively.

^^ How do you roll that?

If you want to simulate rolling I'd recommend Excel. Otherwise, I'd feel comfortable assuming the average roll. Just multiply 786432 by 3.5. Which averages to about 2,752,512 damage, or roughly enough to kill every monster in the Epic Level Handbook at least once.

It would actually be both more and less.  I can Chain an RoS Greater Magic Weapon to get a +23 to attack and damage to each one, and also they have a large crit range and I can Reach+Chain Dolorous Blow so it becomes 17-20/x3 and auto-confirms.

However, even with the +23 to hit and a Divine Power, I'm still only at +50 or so to hit, which may not do so well.  At least 5% of them will hit, and will confirm.  So, I'm at 5% success which gives ~5 hits, each of which does (8192d6 + 23) x3 = 172170 average damage.  Not bad... and if +50 gets past AC then I'm much higher.

Possible things RoS could stand for:

Ritual of Stone
Rine of Sight (Thanks Scooby!)
Rules of Soccer
Remuneration of Sages
Recompense of Service
Rash of Sumac

:)


Oh, and if it's both more and less, then it's called "Average", or perhaps that's just "Mean" :)
