Min/Max 3.x / Re: Arcane Dilettante ROUND TWO
« on: March 13, 2017, 10:04:17 PM »
Revisiting this, without using any Master Spellthief shenanigans or Mind Mage, I think the highest CL possible will be from breaking all spells on a Wizard/Red Wizard/SCM into cantrips, then using Circle Magic to Heighten them 20 slots to 20th level slots (for free +20 CL from Earth Spell) while also going off of a base CL of 40 (also from Circle Magic), then tacking on the usual CL boosters, casting GCF, building a Node, and finally casting GCF again, this time persisting it.  One could obviously keep making the Node bigger, but at that point it's a lot simpler to keep CF/GCF stacking.

I'll have to go digging for the Mind Mage thread - that one had some absolutely ludicrous potential.

Tornado season is officially on - ended up in the basement last night from a direct hit.  One of the few times I'm glad I'm in an ancient 100+ year old house...it's built like a brick shithouse.

It might have to wait until this weekend, but I've been messing around with the usual CL boosters along with several separate builds, two centered around Wizard, and a third around Archivist.  Ironically, despite having the entire Cleric list and easy access to the Wizard list, it's hard to beat the bells and whistles a couple feats grant arcane casting for boosting CL.

So from what I can tell, the highest CL any of these in your newest one is 58?  What is the current record CL?  Also, my Twice-Betrayer Slayer using mainly Circle Magic hits higher than that without Master Spellthief trickery.

So my brother is a member of a cult.  His new job will include "the spiritual growth of new students"

Sounds like the PC way of saying "shamelessly indoctrinate and brainwash". :(

Just spent 12 hours + and about 50 miles + on foot in the past 24 hrs searching for our puppy that got loose last night, only to find out my phone missed the call and didn't prompt the email from animal control that the little shit has been in the pound since late last night.

On the bright side, at least we know she's safe.

Um...scry and die from a different continent?  No one said you gotta be close to him, and odds are the only ones able to see or hear it are just as paranoid as you are by the point you can reliably scry and die someone :P

Instant run-off elections would be the best.  (Well almost the best.  Banishing political parties to the cornfield would be the best.)

If we had that, we'd probably be looking at Trump vs. Sanders right now.  Weep.

Banishing political parties by spacing them out of an airlock in deep space and making sure they're attached to lobbyists, especially corporate and religious lobbyists, would be a good start.

Evoc again ...

Warmage on the one side (see the play it the right way guide) // on the other Erudite with both StP and Discipline -Kinesis/Evoc.
Hey I'm a "wizard" yes I am.

That sounds more like a candidate for the Universal school professor or Dean :P

StP Erudite//Elf Generalist Wizard into Mind Mage and PsiTheurge - no lost levels, fast track to 9's, horrid stacking CL/ML, insta-recharge inanely easy, and every spell evar easily available to turn into a power with the school's resources to throw around as a side project.

Meh, I'll port my TBS and Chrono builds here...the OP was a prick about a Twice-Betrayer killer being famous.

Chlorine for the gene pool.

Not strong enough...I propose something more along the lines of phosphoric acid or lava (pick your elimination method...being a pyromancer, I'm kinda partial to lava myself).

i dont have a problem w. that, except that the host might

Um...if on WordPress based boards, that can be integrated into something like the Easy Responsive Shortcodes plugin, only extending the living hell out of it.  I almost wonder if it would be more efficient to custom write it into functions.php as the board's own custom write-up function (and give it hover/tap modals w/ discreet print capability, or send to print function to line up multiples if someone wanted to make -actual- cards out of them).

Let's not forget Kalashtar for psionic races, or Warforged for most things as their specific feats are good for most classes case by case (free armor for warrior types, psi-forged for psionics, ironman popup wands and such for wizard/arty, etc).  Also, Changelings make amazing rogues/assassins and Wizards due to the awesomeness of their ACFs and Recaster.

And that's also not including the awesome that can be some PrC combos, going off the last example.  Valenar elves with Revenant Blade and Frenzied Berserker are a terror in melee, for example, and DWK makes one hell of a Swiftblade.

not really sure

i twittered meg about the outage, i guess she had it fixed.


i believe changes are coming..

unless one of you all intervene, i'll probably see about picking up the reigns from the bg's

If you need a hand on any of it (especially if it ends up on WordPress BB forums), let me know, and same to the BG's as well.

A really insignificant rant, really... but goddamn it, Youtube, when I'm searching for "Lucy in the sky with diamonds beatles", you do not give me pages of covers for me to search through.

Same thing with several Led Zepplin and AC/DC songs - thank the worthless DCMA for that one >.<

Wasn't thinking about actually being a Runescarred Berserker, but rather an Artificer/Archivist snagging, say, Divine Power as a 3rd level spell.  Not that that particular example would really change things, but I figure if you're going to explore what's possible in E6 you might as well go whole-hog and not leave a bunch of loopholes.

Chameleons who know Trapsmiths and Artificers can get scary.

From one of my old threads akin to this, and seconding Stormcaster - you get to play God while delivering the mail.  I'll whip up one dialed to 11 this weekend, as well, though it's total overkill at that point.

I hear so many people talk about how its on of the best prestige classes in the game, some would argue it rivals abjurant champion.

Yet at the same time i hear many tell me that losing too many spell levels is very detrimental, and 4 spell levels lost over the course of 10 levels is kinda bad...so whats the lure? huh?

Extra standard action (3.0 haste), Ex haste and timestop.  Awesome miss chances you can't see through using normal means.  Utter immunity to grapples and a dozen other statuses via constant Ex FoM.  Off the top of my head :)  The AC/Hit/Skirmish Lite are just gravy.  And if you only go 9/10 or fast progression casting, you can still get 9's.

Wasn't Geomancer 10/10 but needed a hack like DK to have casting from both arcane and divine?
If DK stands for Dragonwrought Kobold you should stab your self in the face.

On the other hand if you meant MT as in Mystic Theurge yes in theory you could, probably.
I forgot about it because MT is a trap without accelerated casting classes (sensing a theme yet?).

Dweomerkeeper, actually.

Well, that just made my Geomancer gish that much better...wonder how all this would work with a Shai'ir (or however the hell it's spelled) Raptoran All-The-Spell-Lists build...
You make both those Classes sound better than they actually are.

Geomancer without an accelerated casting PrC is pretty much a kick to the crotch, trading four levels of spell progression so you can ignore ASF and use your less-than-useful Wisdom in place of either superior Charisma or Intelligence. But be mindful of the Geo's limitation that if the Initiate of Amaunator is tried to Cleric, and it certainly should, your Cleric level must also be higher enough to pull it off. IE Wizard 3 / Cleric 3 / Geo(wizard) 3 cannot replace a Wizard Spell with Orb of Fire because his Cleric side has no access to 4th level Spells.
