For this game, I'm planning on playing a pixie half dragon. I'm just torn on spell casting. Something Int based. Maybe a beguiler? I don't know. Any ideas?

This game kind of came about from a joking reference that I made. I said the purpose of gestalt was to emulate lightning warrior as closely as possible. Everything took off from there.

Black Unicorn is "Always chaotic evil" though.  It's also LA+4 (cohort) just like the regular unicorn.  If cohort LA are treated the same as PC LA then it'd seem better to just go with the regular unicorn instead since Evil is not allowed.

always evil doesn't mean a creature must be evil. it just shows what the typical creature's alignment is. the black has ridiculously good stat bonuses vs. the white

True, it doesn't mean the creature has to be evil, but the story behind getting it away from evil is likely to cause headaches for the player and perhaps DM.

The DM will see through anything involving a unicorn as exactly what it is, a blatant grab for more cha. It'll get vetoed. He'll be more paranoid about me whiting out cha than anything. You do one little thing like get your cha into the forties and then add it to your AC six times, and a person gets all offended.

No class levels. It's going to be a tristault game. Two class tracks, and a racial track. This is for the racial track. And I forgot the DM hates evolved undead. Thinks it's busted, and I tend to agree. My bad I forgot about that in the op

Gaming Advice / Maxing out CHA
« on: February 17, 2015, 02:13:25 PM »
I have 10 levels worth LA and HD to work with. I need the highest CHA possible, savage progression is out, and Evil allignment is out. Other than that, go nuts.

I'm fairly certain that that's not a real story, but...please tell me that's not a real story...

Which one? Mine or Soro's? Because if it's mine, I can lie to you if you want, if it's Soro's... Can't help you. Not my story.

So, I fixed it, but now I have to find a way to heal with magic missile. Thanks for that.

Except that I am not allowed to tell them to call 911, that is giving advice and I am not allowed to do that. I wound up saying... "Me personally? I would call the fire department and then call my insurance when my car was no longer on fire."

I work in auto insurance claims, and every day I hear a completely new level of stupid. Today, I heard the one that I'm pretty sure will last the test of time. I had a lady call in because her car was actively on FIRE and she wanted to know what she should do. There are FLAMES actively shooting out of her car. Not a small amount either. We're talking fully engulfed, and her first thought is to call her insurance company? Not the fire department, her insurance company. So, I will ask again. What the fuck is wrong with people?

1st, I would go with what wotmaniac said, except I would use con instead. Because it seems more of a hardiness thing than a strength thing. I don't really have and issue with the fort save though.

2nd, I do believe that it says something about getting to swallow whole no matter if you have the ability or not as long as they are sufficiently smaller than you. I could be mistaken on that part though. I think swallow whole allows for you to eat anything one size category smaller than you, and you can just do it if it is more than two categories smaller. Don't have access to the books right now though, so if someone could check that for me and tell me if/how retarded I am, I would appreciate it.

You forgot that he took two cross class ranks in magic missile umd. As a sorcerer. For healing. When there was a cleric in the party.

Good catch. Apparently I had a failure to brain.

I don't care what the system is. After 50 levels, levels become meaningless. Everything in the game is divided up into 3 categories. <, >, and =. My advice is to find another game. At this point you can't possibly be playing anything accept for MTP.

I was going to post something giving you a good natured hard time about your thing for cats, but wotmaniac threatened to shit in my pillow.

That being said, go with the ability to duplicate themselves. All tribble style.

I've always felt very "meh" about traps in general. I usually don't even use them as a DM, and when I do, it essentially boils down to me throwing some validation at the Rogue. For me it boils down to "exploitation of weakness" is how I think you worded it. If there is a giant weakness due to a small party, I am not going to hold it against them. If I have ten 8th level characters in the party and not a single person has a ranged option, every other person in the world just sprouted wings.

I don't care if the party has the classic: Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Cleric. But I do expect them to have spell casting, melee, and ranged combat covered. If one of these things is not covered, I will make the party regret it.

I just used traps/Rogues as an example. What I'm saying is that if a party is three people strong, I'm not going to hold their hand for the entire adventure, but I'm not going to go out of my way to punish them for it either.

If there is an abnormally large party, and they have a glaring hole in what they are capable of handling, I will exploit the hell out of it

Strap a buckler to your arm, then take Divine Shield as a feat. Then spend a turn attempt to add your CHA to your AC as a shield bonus.

Damn, because otherwise:

Step 1: Play a necropolitan
Step 2: Start cramming the evolved template on there as much as possible.
Step 3: Profit

Otherwise, I've played a Warmage/Beguiler. That was fun.

Also, there is a reason that Wizard/Factotem/Warblade are viewed as the holy trinity. Pick 2 of them and you have to try to suck.

Another idea is Duskblade/Feat Rogue. Full Bab, All good saves, Skill list=Yes (This means UMD), Fighter feats, D8 hit die, 8 skill points per level, improved evasion, and the ability to make all the dedicated martial combatants question their existence on the planet.

Duskblade 20
For the other class, 20 levels of beguiler.

You have the same casting stat for both of your classes, you have all the versatility you need from UMD, (See if Know Stones/Rune Staffs are allowed) you will be able to keep up with the party's BDF's damage wise, and you will have Yes as a class skill. You will have 2 good saves, (Fort, and Will) 6 skill points a level, Full Bab, and a D8 hit die. Plus you will have the ability to cast your spells in light armor without spell failure.

See if your DM will allow your Medium Armor casting from Duskblade to apply to Beguiler, since the beguiler already gets light armor
