Fiend of Possession: animate the level of the plane, since it is a colossal object and find Dispater that way

While it is a simply a part of the plane of existence called Hell, I cannot see anyway it could be controlled by this ability. None of the examples given in the description come close to that and the plane is not only colossal, it is infinite.

But a colossal object is anything larger than x feet, which the layer is.

Am I right?

Yes, I agree it is ridiculous, but by raw works.

[TravelLog]

Kaorti: i wasn't looking into that option of the race, more just the fact that it is a far realm creature

I don't understand.

Fiend of Possession: animate the level of the plane, since it is a colossal object and find Dispater that way

Not so fast. There is Colossal +, Colossal ++, etc. and then there is the Macro level. So you can't possess the Plane. It would, I believe, fall under Macro Small.

Also, I don't believe planes are objects by RAW.

[zook1shoe]

http://i.word.com/idictionary/object

See 1a

The plane is something that can be seen with the senses.

Larger than gargantuan, it is colossal (not colossal+ since that is only a virtual size)

Where is the text for colossal++ and larger?

Where is the text for colossal++ and larger?

Dictionary has nothing to do with the rules. Read the examples given in the ability. Also, I think the rules for Colossal+ and whatnot are outdated.

[Dreamweaver]

I believe, if I'm not mistaken, the description/definition of Colossal+ was first described in the 3.0 Epic Handbook.

The summary of it was: anything LARGER than Colossal falls into the Colossal+ catagory.

Of course, that is quite broad, with the understanding that things larger than Colossal could be almost any huge size, and then knowing the EXACT size was unnecessary for such things (hence Force and Prismatic dragons of Colossal+ size could be anything greater than the normal Colossal sized dragons).

Unless updated, I believe this definition of the "new" size catagory still stands.  So a plane of existence, however large, could fall under the Colossal+ size catagory, as the catagory has no upper bound.

Now, whether a plane of existence is an object, not so sure of that.  There are things that can manipulate planes and planar traits, but I can't think of one that can do that AND affect objects in a similar fashion, given the descriptions.

If one could find a power/spell/etc... that describes manipulation of objects and planes without specifically saying something like "...this ability can, like its affects on objects, affect planes of existence in the same way.", then I would think that you could use a comparison between its wording and the wording of the power you are attempting to use (or the Iron Siege master could do it to come to a conclusion on a ruling for it).


Game on!  I'm waiting to read about the next hopeful to face off against the Iron Lord!   

[zook1shoe]

The examples in noncontinuous object, are not restrictions. As is all other examples.

Colossal+ only talks about advanced and/or epic dragons specifically in the text, doesn't say it counts towards other things (and yes, it does not say it does NOT apply to other things either)

Colossal in SRD is 64 feet+ and/or 125 tons+
Edit: Colossal+ has no dimensions listed, either way, Colossal's stand


The only thing I see stopping it is.... most be an object on the Material Plane.


And yes, this is a ridiculous idea, should I move this to another thread?

[Daniel]

A note about Illithid Savant's Acquire Special Ability "The chosen ability must not rely on a physical feature of the consumed creature, such as a gaze attack, a breath weapon, flight, or a natural attack with an appendage not possessed by the mind flayer." This means that a huge number of abilities are unavailable. For example, a chronotyryn is able to have the dual actions ability because it "has two distinct brains and two separate voice boxes".

Hey TravelLog & Tshern,

I have a contender in the mid stages of development, figured now would be as good a time as any to run the basic concept past you and try to get your OK with a few somewhat murky elements of the build. The central contender is a DR18 deity from the Far Realm. I put my focus on using creature and divine abilities rather than stuff that is available to normal PCs, if this generally puts it outside of what you have in mind for the challenge please let me know.


How do you feel about:

(click to show/hide)

1) Using the True Shapeshift DSA to become a Hagunemnon (Protean) from the epic SRD in order to access it's unique multiple-creature Alter Shape (ex). (without sacrificing class levels or divine rank to be a Protean) This ability grants up to four additional (ex) abilities from other creatures while retaining most of the Protean's base stats and qualities. Abilities I'm interested in:

• 1a) Gaining the Tarrasque's Carapace (ex) ability
• 1b) Gaining a Swarm Shifter's (Libris Mortis template) Immunity to Weapon Damage (ex) Alternately would you allow Ocean Giant (B) and Half Clay Golem (P/S) immunities together (both from Fiend Folio)
• 1d) Gaining the unique Swallow Whole (ex) of the Gibbering Orb from the epic SRD. This one is pretty stinky… [I would propose that epic spells cannot be gained using this ability if allowed at all]
• 1e) Gaining a 10d6 base damage natural attack from the large sized Uvuudaum (epic SRD)
• 1f) Gaining the magic immunity(ex) of an alchemical golem (MM3)
• 1g) Gaining the unique Earth Glide (ex) of the Glitterhaunt (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fw/20040509a) which allows movement through metal.
• 1h) Having access to a swack of other less-problematic abilities as needed at the cost of a free action, such as Will-o-Wisp Natural Invisibility or an elder treant's 3X dmg vs objects.

2)Using the True Shapeshift DSA to become a Templated creature, within reason. I was looking to stack four templates, in this order: Air Elemental (MoP), Pseudonatural (epic SRD), Phantom (MM5), and Paragon (epic SRD). I'm willing to use up one of the 4 party slots to contain a creature of this type, to 'prove it exists' - the four templates can be legally applied to a Hagunemnon which would have 44HD and be CR 58. All the template variables would be based off of the 44HD monster, not the 70 HD deity.
   
4) the Cosmic Connection ability of the Cosmic Descryer class? (epic SRD) It seems pretty ripe for abuse and infinite shenanigans, but I really like the flavor of the ability. I would propose limiting it to not work past negative 10hp even if one could somehow survive the damage, (delay death, etc) and for it do deal unavoidable damage similar to backlash damage on epic spells. That should keep it away from absurd numbers while still allowing me to cast Vengeful Gaze of God. 

5) A personal divine realm that would be a subset of the Far Realm, but with its Flowing time (1:0 ratio) aspect removed as an aspect of personalizing the divine realm as per divine rules. I was hoping to replace it with the Timeless quality, with regards to magic as well as the normal Astral effects, which appears to be within the power of the rules for personalizing your divine realm. For Planar Bubble purposes, of course. [I would propose that the duration of a spell exposed to normal time after its duration would have normally expired would start again at a highly accelerated rate, perhaps 60x normal]

6) Just a couple of questions about how you would rule class/monster abilities: (all should be testable in-game, but it would be nice to know in advance)

• 6a-Will the Planar Travel (ex) ability of the Umbral Blot (epic SRD) work in an area that is planar locked or otherwise without astral connections? The text states that you gain @will use of several abilites that would not normally work in such environments, but it is an (ex) ability and the flavor text implies that the ability does not work using the astral plane at all...
• 6b-Can the 100' radius Antimagic Field (ex) of a Stone Colossus be brought down with a Disjunction effect like a normal AMF?
• 6c-Can Supernatural Spells from the Dweomerkeeper class be dispelled/disjoined as normal?
• 6d-Any upper limit to the bonuses that can be granted by the Masochism spell? Beyond surviving and healing large amounts of damage, that is.

7) I seem to recall a limitation on the Multispell feat to only allow taking it once per 10 base caster levels. Is this still the case?

8) One party member may go for optimizing Planar Turning - what do you think of the epic feats at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ei/20031115a ? Especially Ignore Turn Resistance, intensify turning and epic divine might. Also, how would you rule with regard to how Planar Turning interacts with the granted power of the sun domain, or the Disciple of the Sun feat (complete divine)?

9) No so much a build question, but is it possible to request a session without the Celerity spell? (ie - neither me nor anyone else has access to it) High level shenanigans are bad enough without arbitrary immediate actions flying around all over the place… up to you, of course.

Anyhoo, been following the Iron Siege for ages, was psyched to see it come back. Cheers!

[Daniel]

Can Supernatural Spells from the Dweomerkeeper class be dispelled/disjoined as normal?

Supernatural abilities cannot be dispelled/disjoined however a Wish/Reality Revision/Alter Reality could probably get rid of them. I suggest just using normal spells with an Esoteric Aegis since that provides complete protection against dispelling provided you have CL=yes.

I am not running this, so my opinion is rather useless. However, why do you aim to have the high base damage of a Uvuudaum? It is not all that useful at that level, because damage is really easy to stack...

I have no theoretical objection to #1-5. If things change during building we may have to reassess, but as described it seems acceptable.

6: no, yes, yes, not by RAW iirc but try to keep it reasonable
7: Yes

I'm on my phone so I'll get back to you regarding #8.  As for #9, I'll consider it.

[Tshern]

By the way, the Multispell limit was based on ranks in the relevant Knowledge skill, so arcana or divine.

[Shadowmind]

• 6c-Can Supernatural Spells from the Dweomerkeeper class be dispelled/disjoined as normal?

I have no theoretical objection to #1-5. If things change during building we may have to reassess, but as described it seems acceptable.

6:yes,

What are you basing this judgement on?

...she can use any one spell with a casting time of up to 1 standard
action as a supernatural ability....The spell functions as it normally
would and is expended normally...just as if she were using a supernatural
ability instead of a spell.

...go away in an antimagic field but are not subject to spell resistance, counterspells, or to being dispelled by dispel magic.

Are you interpreting the spell functions normally to treat is as a (Sp) effect after is was cast, instead of treating it as a (Su) effect? I wouldn't agree with that interpretation though.

Still waiting response about  a psionic version of ELDRITCH KNOWLEDGE and SUPREME ELDRITCH KNOWLEDGE.

[Daniel]

I would like to get this epic spell approved. I would also like to know if I could use the Worldly Focus feat from Faiths of Eberron (cast without a divine focus).

Epic Metafaculty

(click to show/hide)

Divination
DC 94
Components:
Casting Time: 1 Standard
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous and 10 minutes/level(D); see text
Seed: Metafaculty (DC 30)
Factors: 1 Action (+20), Increase duration by 1000% (+20), Determines the direction and distance of the creature (ad hoc +20), Only knowledge of the creature is needed (ad hoc +30), Does not function as Remote Viewing (-10), No verbal or somatic components (+4), XP cost reduction (+10), Does not detect the creature's recent activities (-30)

   You elevate your mind to a near-universal consciousness, cogitating countless impressions and predictions involving any creature you know of.
   This process gives you an uncannily accurate vision of the creature’s nature, activities, and whereabouts. When you cast this spell, you learn the following facts about the creature.
• Its name, race, alignment, and character class.
• An estimate of its level or Hit Dice rounded up to the nearest multiple of 10.
• Its location (including place of residence, town, country, world, and plane of existence).
• Significant items currently in its possession.
• The current direction and the approximate distance (within 10% of the total distance) to it. This may be maintained for up to 10 minutes per level and functions across planar boundaries.

   The DM determines what items or activities are significant to the envisioned creature. For instance, a high level character probably pays little attention to a potion of cure light wounds in her belt, but a low-level character might regard it as a significant possession. Similarly, no one regards a routine meal as noteworthy, but attending a court banquet most likely would be.
   Epic Metafaculty can defeat spells, powers and special abilities that normally obscure divination spells. You can attempt a caster level check (DC 6 + CL (spells/powers) or DC 10 + HD (special abilities) of the creator of the obscuring effect) to defeat these sorts of otherwise impervious defenses.

[Imaginos]

Daniel, I like the cut of your jib - I was going to ask about Worldly Focus too. Nice Savant build, by the way - I'd recommend checking out the glitterhaunt's Earth Glide (ex) too, unless you figure it is a gross physical capability.

RE: Tshern
I ask about the Uuvudaum's melee attack mostly because I get it essentially for free - it doesn't cost one of the four Protean (ex) 'slots'. If I grow to colossal size, I could go for a Devastation Beetle's 25d10 bite instead. Knowing full well that getting into melee range is the hard part, that's still not a bad chunk of damage at zero cost of feats, class levels or DSAs I wasn't going to take anyway.

To TravelLog: I have a couple of unique ability requests too:

Atemporeality
Summary:
-Spell stowaway: Time Stop, range extended to ten miles, also triggers when time-stopped creature enters ten mile radius.
-Maximum 100 total subjective rounds per casting, no more than normal duration+1round per effect.
-Tenacious effect
-Immune to Temporal Stasis, ability to interact with creatures under Temporal Stasis

Atemporeality
Abjuration [Teleportation]

Duration: 24 hours
Saving Throw: Fort Negates (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes
To Develop: 1,530,000 gp; 31 days; 61,200 XP

-transport to different timestream (+8)
-up to 100 rounds in another time stream (+95)
-timestream duration may exceed 5 rounds, but is limited to duration of an independently created effect, plus one round (ad-hoc +2)
-determine caster level of Time Stop effect (ad-hoc +2)
-one action casting time (+20)
-No verbal component+2
-No somatic component +2
-target must possess Spell Stowaway (Time Stop) feat (ad-hoc -4)
-Target takes 25d6 backlash damage when entering a timestream. (ad hoc -25)
-Burn 2000xp (-20)
=170

This spell creates a powerful surge of temporal flux in and around the touched creature. Most creatures are not capable of taking advantage of this energy and take 25d6 damage as they are partially scattered across multiple timestreams. (damage negated on a successful fortitude save) A creature that possesses the Spell Stowaway (Time Stop) epic feat may instead choose to merge with the temporal flux, causing its existence to become partially atemporal for the duration. At a basic level, this provides the target with total immunity to Temporal Stasis and Slow effects - it may even physically interact with other creatures that are under the effects of Temporal Stasis. (Such creatures are treated as stunned but not helpless against the Atemporal creature’s attacks, and the outcome of any such attacks does not take effect in realtime until the stasis effect ends. Note that creatures that appear frozen in time due to the target of this spell benefiting from a Time Stop effect are not considered 'subjectively' under the effects of Temporal Stasis)

The more powerful effect of being atemporal is the ability to freely enter alternate timestreams created nearby. Whenever a Time Stop effect or similar ability (such as the Temporal Acceleration psionic power) exists within ten miles of an atemporal creature, (either by effect being initiated in the area, or by a creature under such an effect entering the area in their subjective timestream) the Atemporal creature instantly knows that the effect exists as well as the caster level of the effect and may choose to enter the timestream. This effect takes place even when it is not the target's turn and does not require line of sight or effect, though the target usually will not be able to take actions immediately after entering new timestream and acts at its initiative count as normal. Choosing to enter a timestream in this way causes the target to take 25d6 backlash damage from temporal shear. Once in the timestream, the target coexists with the originator of the effect for the normal subjective duration of the spell, or it may reenter normal time on its turn as a free action. The target may also linger in the timstream for one additional subjective round after it would normally collapse due to the originator of the effect rejoining normal time. The target may spend a total of up to 100 subjective rounds in other timestreams in this fashion, at which point the spell ends prematurely.

 The target of this spell gains no special information about the nature or location of originator of a Time Stop effect beyond their caster level, regardless of whether they chose to enter the effect. This spell does not interfere with the normal functioning of the target’s Spell Stowaway feat, but the target must choose to use one or the other. (or neither) Because the atemporeality effect extends partially outside the normal timestream, it is not subject to dispelling by any means except the end of its duration, though Epic spells with the Dispel or Destroy seed may suppress it for 1d4 rounds if successful.

Ooze Qualities

(click to show/hide)

Ooze Qualities
Prerequisite: A deity can only select one salient ability that grants the qualities of a non-outsider type.
Benefit: The deity gains the qualities of the ooze type: (while retaining its Outsider type)
-Blind, with immunity to gaze attacks, visual effects, illusions, and other attack forms that rely on sight.
-In lieu of sight, gains blindsight out to the normal range of a deity's senses. (one mile per divine rank)
-Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, polymorph, and stunning. (regardless of attacker)
-Ability to deal acid damage to creatures and objects. Damage is equal to 10 + 1/2 deity's HD + deity's Con modifier + deity's divine rank per full round of contact.
-Not subject to critical hits or flanking.

[Tshern]

I am not to be asked anything. What I do is consultation only, I have no legislative power. The damage can, however, be duplicated very easily.

[TravelLog]

Epic Metafaculty is fine. Can I get the text for Worldly Focus?

Ooze qualities is fine. No Atemporiality.

Worldly Focus: http://dndtools.eu/feats/faiths-of-eberron--8/worldly-focus--3170/

Does anyone know any other way to cast spells without using a focus (aside from getting them as SLAs)?

How are the rules regarding divine proxies? The ruling so far has been that the deity can make proxies if he wants without counting the DvR of each proxy against the limit of 18 divine ranks. As in, a party of four could be made of a DvR 18 deity and three proxies all of whom have DvR one for being proxies. At the moment I am sitting on the fence about using proxies, because there is a slight problem with them that might cause my attempt to implode, but I am still considering it and hoping TravelLog won't discern that one weakness.
