ty all for suggestions.
Im actually working on the dreadlord concept and we have a new palyer incoming - ill open a new thread for him^^
And, more on, he will take my panic button role playng something to mess up pg minds in a mostly rpg way - something/chamaleon as far as I know.


@JaronK - that build is something beyond any possible definition of evil...i can't decide if i want to play it or marry it. And have lill baby evil divine binder runnig around my home sacrificing young wirgins to some obscure squidheaded entity.

hola, im back.
first of all, again ty for all suggestions.
second: my enemy now have a face - let's exploit em somehow

i have 5 players other than myself, builded as follow.

1 ranger archer human : basic archer build (wf longbow - point blank shoot - precise shoot)
1 wizard human : basic generalist wizard
1 rogue human or halfling : basic dual dagger rogue -> assasin wannabe
1 necromancer cleric elf : a 10 cha necromancer maybe melee cleric + tomb tainted soul maybe some kind of minion master
1 melee fighter orc : a basic 5 wis big stick orc (power attack - clave)

And me.
i must be the dreadlord. The pure evil one ^cit.
i must show them true evil - beating em down in case of need.
i must bend them under my will - humiliating them in case of need.
and i'm allowed to use vile D (aka "the book of pure evil"^cit).

how to archive this goal?

i've seen a quite flavoured build, but maybe it need some optimization : this dreadlord (paladin/hexblade/urpriest/boneknight)

again, im coming to you all asking for some advice.
ty all

H.

yeah, sadly, babysitting will be half the work.
and till now i don't know what they are gone to play.
just some hint : melee/ archer oriented classes, maybe some flavour, but not so much.
so i need to be prepared to face them to keep the powerplay at low level and to enhance the rpg level.
sadly ill be just a mere gm tool, masked as a pg.

as alwais, any suggestion will be welcomed.

hi all.
im here again to ask, again, some help in the creation of a game breaking over optimized char.
but limitations on mechanics make me sick.
first of all, manual limitation: just official, no dragon mag., no web (exept maybe for glaivelock invocation), no 9 swords, no psionics.
second, the scope: i need to be able to own a 4 man party by myself, or at least to show em "ive tha bigger weapon in here. do as i said" by charisma or better, pure violence.
third, the no god mode: my master askd me to build this char as a "panic button mode" to keep the story on, but he strongly dislike the god arcanist cause - "they need to beat up monsters with gore and blood and pain, not to tie em up and run away"-. yeah, quite disappointing. ofc this cam be done by spell selection but i'll be tempted to have always a black tentacle or similar in my arsenal.

another limitation, the party: it's a "not so newbie" party of powerplayers, using melee chars, so what i need is somethig that, in the right moment, can humiliate them and meke em taste dirt if they start to ruin the game.

now, after some reflection, the ideal thing could be a "pathfinder syntesist" or a something like that.
or a arcane/divine empowered bsf. (paladin? glaivelock/disciple?)

also, im keeping ad eye open for malkonvoker - but im feeleng the lack of immediate reaction and survival in an antimagic zone (yeah, gm love this thing).

we are starting at level one, the campaign will rise up to level 15 or so if i can make my work as intended.
ty all for suggestions.

Hics.

Yes, Steam, my bad.
Advanced player guide allowed, advanced race nope^^.
Quite crippling indeed.
Ty for advice.

repeat spell +  twin spell for a legion in a round. and lot of nightstiks tu fuel it up. and watch the meat grinder in action.
Paragnostic Apostle 1 for fast healing 5 on summons, and if 2+ more profit.
Divine Accuracy can be good stuff if you plat to have an effective meat grinding legion.
if your cleric is a standard one, you can drop rapid spell: full plate and shield make some hit lesser impressive.

If we could somehow get a Dervish to pull off 1,800 damage in one attack...is there a way to cleave objects?

custom animate object item to animate each cube, or the entire moon. does it work?

thank you all for suggestions.
another info: sorry but no compendium allowed, and DM hate bloodlines.

build up to now

precocious apprentice(Hb), bind vestige(H1, retrained @ 2nd for improved binding), extend spell (F1), Invisible spell (F2), augment summoning(Wiz ACF), SF: conjuration (3), sculpt spell (6), XXX (9), XXX (12), XXX (15), XXX (18)

item familiar (circlet of persuasion?), couldy conjuration, twin spell are my options for now.
I don't want to lose more arcane spellcasting, so no smIX from Zceryll are off the game for now.
still a good option, though.

I'm trying to create an Arcanum flavored teck system inside a classic D&D 3.5 (ro maybe 4E) scenario to create a victorian age steamfantasy campaign.
I'd like to give my players some way to build stuff like "teslagun" without involving raw magic or IK mechanika/arcanika system and, also, a way to level magic and tecnology power.
thoughts?

(if you don't know what arcanum is, i ivite you to a retrogaming session: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum:_Of_Steamworks_and_Magick_Obscura.)

can't find "save game";
i've somewere a copy of "nanobots" printpage, i'll post it when i find it^^
