Ancient Greek Monster Hunting Idea Thing

[FireInTheSky]

Titanic Creature, I'm guessing, is not taking Growth?

I have an idea.

Fighter X // Whatever 5*/Saint 2/Paragon 13

*Hell knows what this would be. Probably something for utility.

Take Pure Crafting. Magic? Don't need no stinkin' magic, jewellery and weapons are enough! ... yeah, fluff full plate of mixed metals as just jewellery. Focus on absolute unkillability.

Whatever 5 = Leprechaun!!! (which, obviously doesn't fit the mythos, but would be hilarious and awesome!)

[Raineh Daze]

No leprechauns! XD

Yeah, I know Saint is weird (for Ancient Greece), but I figure that, if we're going by the mythic stuff, this is pretty much a matter of 'almost died doing something ridiculous and, you know what, screw that 'death' bit'. Admittedly, I could go for straight Paragon instead, but Purity is an awesome thing to pick up when going for Pure Crafting.

Trying to stay away from the full-class monsters, otherwise I'd just end up playing one of the titans.

How about this one:
Cloistered Cleric 1/Feater 4

...because MOOOOOOOAAAAR FEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAATSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[Raineh Daze]

The hell am I doing with these feats? I need one feat for Pure Crafting. I probably want to keep another in reserve for something for Saint at level 9. The only other feats I'm particularly concerned about at the Alloy feats that go with Pure Crafting, and they're level restricted. @_@

... Have you read Feater? What can't you do with feats?

[Raineh Daze]

Um, what is Feater? Though it was Feat Rogue or something...

[ariasderros]

Feater, the master of Feats. Note the Pic.

this is why we can't have nice things.

[Raineh Daze]

... do you really want me to gestalt that with a Pure Crafting fighter? All bonus feats? Great! Combine it with the alloys, then start digging around for truly ridiculous stuff.

RD, make sure you read all of the fluff as well.

Not any more, they're not!

EDIT: In other ridiculousness, if you can get around the initial WBL issues, Whatever 5 = this!

[ariasderros]

Human, 1 feat; Fighter 1 Feat; Level 1, 1 Feat; Cloistered Cleric, 3 feats... Total, 6 feats. Yep this works for Feater as your second level.

At 4th level in Feater, you ignore two prerequisites. Noble Alloy has... 2 prerequisites.


We seriously need a DM. Too many ideas being tossed around, too little supervision.

[Raineh Daze]

Ah, so I would get to skip the feat-chain? Fun.

Also sounds fun to get Spring Attack.

To be honest, I could make use of this thing.

Does anyone have a DM-Beacon? :O

-Has never DMed anything, world's worst choice. XD-

[sirpercival]

Has to be someone willing to run gestalt-ridiculousness.

Anyway, time for my build.

I'm playing Achilles, killer of men, leader of the Myrmidons.  Build: Lesser Aasimar Nullblade X // Dread Champion X.  Thoughts? I know its MAD as hell.

[Raineh Daze]

I think we're just focusing on Gestalt because Gestalt is more fun to talk about. No decisions on exact starting level etc., remember?

Achilles is the wrong timeframe. Also kind of the wrong scale. @_@

[ariasderros]

Achilles is the wrong timeframe. Also kind of the wrong scale. @_@

That depends. Achilles the man who was a great soldier. Achilles the child of a Nymph, who was dipped in the river Styx, being made invulnerable except on his heel, where his mother held him.

The man.
The demigod.

One of these is better than the other.

[Raineh Daze]

This does not really solve the timeframe thing, though.

Achilles is pretty much the most single-handedly lethal thing in the Trojan War, though, so he is probably the only thing from that really suitable (routing an entire army of heroes etc. on your own in a berserk rage? Awesome).

The "when" of things in most of the myths are pretty vague. Talking about the "When" of the game, or how that does or doesn't correspond to the mythos is something for a DM.

Nullblade, Dread Champion? My thought is YES!

There's got to be a way to get Wis to Intimidate somehow, and that would solve much of the MAD (though I don't know if it would really work thematically. Achilles was charismatic, not wise.)

What level gestalt are we talking here?

[ariasderros]

What level gestalt are we talking here?

Earlier someone mentioned the possibility of Gestalt.  Would it just be straight-up <=T3 or Gestalt <=T3?
EDIT: Also, what races? I'm guessing that monster classes are a no-no, considering the setting?

Much of that depends on the DM. As far as what, if any, class restriction there would be, starting level, stat generation, gestalt, and so on.

We seriously need a DM. Too many ideas being tossed around, too little supervision.

I think, if I had someone help me build out the setting a bit, maps and the like, I could do it.

Basically, I could DM and handle Plot and Bad Guys, but I would need a Co-DM to help with some of the other logistics.

I would offer to help, but I have 0XP towards DM level 1.
