Min/Max Boards

I came across this spell ---> shining-south  sticks-and-stones
{not sure about linking}


edit --- changed name again, Maat's tactic is superior.


 

Commoner 1 lets call her "mom", is Helpful and trustworthy to hold some cash for
Commoner 1 with Mercantile feat, lets call him Hannibal (historical reference for no reason).

Local Magic Mart has the sticks and stones spell.

Hannibal pays 150 gp and has 170 gp left, held by mom.
Hannibal allows the sticks and stones to attack him, killing him with one hit.
Spell expires and the originating "wight" is gone.
d4 rounds later Hannibal rises as a Wight, not beholden to previous "wight".
Mom hires 1700 other unskilled laborers at 1sp a piece, to stop by for some work ... (little bit handwavey at this step)
Hannibal kills each one rather easily.

1 Commoner = 1700 Wight army.

iirc there was an old 3.0e Shapechange list
that used the before 3.5e books only. 
Or at least had the book by book dividing line.
But I've lost track of it with all the board changeovers.

Anybody have some good ones for say a CL 20 Shapechange?
More specifically for party buffing, if possible.

I just spotted this (in case it's slightly old news)

I posted a link at old C.O.
They're gonna lose all posts back to 8/26 and
Signatures are going away too.
There're still lots of Sig Links on old poster's sigs.

At least they warned us this time.

I'm curious because I don't know.

There's the necessity to use it in CPsi Ebon Saint PrC.

Was there ever a guide or extended thread on it?

EDIT --- retitled from Energy Breakthrough, see farther down.



The McClatchy newspapers have this:

Here's the dudes site (a little hucksterish):

“There are few cases in history where people come up with something which is totally unexpected,” said Ramamoorthy Ramesh, a former head of the U.S. Energy Department’s Sunshot solar program, tasked to spur solar energy innovation. “Who knows? It may actually be correct. But I’m an experimentalist. And until it’s proven, I don’t believe it.”

Ace said that confidentiality agreements are being signed so that solar experts at the Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M., can review his invention. He already has confided details to former President Jimmy Carter, who created the Energy Department in 1977 with a mission of sponsoring “transformative science and technology solutions.” Former U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland, who was Darnell’s boss and has championed Ace’s search for investors, has called the inventor “a genius.”


Very Interesting ...

And a smidge of balancing.


Incarnate is a variant Neutral Paladin in a dragon mag = ok-ish.
Incarnate is in MOI and is rather frontloaded, then decent skills.

Incarnate Construct is weird and affects basically level 1.
Str Con Wis boosts fit well with the other 2 Incarnates.
Natural Armor is good, no skills or feats at level 1 is bad.
Partial level 1 of Moi can balance.  Needs slightly better
casting, perhaps (gulp) a Divine Mind type of progression ??
Restricted Leadership as a class feature to bump up the Mount.
That'll get early epics going, as a boost.

The Fluff idea would be a Soul Spirit with extra Divine Energies
... is the animating force, instead of the high level Wizard.

Ideas?

(open to anyone)


  ... I just saw a tween-age Japanese girl wearing the exact , and I mean totally exact , same outfit that I am wearing.  And she was carrying around a Hello Kitty doll the exact , and I mean totally exact , same way my kitty avatar is carried.  Whoa!!  I am officially weirded out for the whole weekend.

'course you can't really see all that much.

Is Veekie awake right now?   VEEKIE !!
It's ~3a.m. in Malaysia and good Binoculars should be able to see it.



EDIT --- so the anchors are a little dry, but some of the stuff is very interesting.
They've got a simulator of the Fly-by, as if you were riding on the asteroid.
eyes.nasa.gov ... but I won't check it out til later.

(feat)
Powergrace [Psionic]

You are more resistant to psionic powers than most people are.
Prerequisite: Must possess a repertoire of powers.
Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus on all saves against psionic powers and psi-like abilities.
Special: ** You can take this feat multiple times, adding an additional +1 bonus.


So dip Erudite 1 and go Magic Mantle.
Then track down a smidge of Feater / Dilletante / PLZ's thingy.
