Yes, I visited her last night and got to say goodbye. And today my dad, grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousin got to see her in her room at the nursing facility before the funeral services arrived to transport her. Later today the funeral director will come to our house and we'll discuss what her services will be.

I suppose one of the interesting things to note is one of the nurses mistook me for a hospice worker yesterday because I was wearing all black and looking for a few washcloths for my grandma. Turns out she wasn't far off.

Sorry about your grandma, Jack. I think I'll hold off posting the latest installment of my banking woes for now.

And while we're in the bitching thread, fuck censorship, fuck top level domain blocking, fuck any government that believe in it, and fuck all worthless fucktard ignorant assholes that are deluded into believing they ever have the right to deny anyone anything on moral grounds - MY choice, NOT yours.

There's a weenie to stick in the filter.

Wait, what happened?

Totally agree with you about censorship though, especially with the ham-fisted ways it tends to be implemented online. Once while visiting a college campus, I tried to use one of their public computers to check a forum I ran. But when I tried to get to the main page and sign in the school's content filter kicked in and took me to a blank white screen with the message "Forbidden keyword fucker" in bold red text.

Took me a few minutes to realize that the content filter wasn't swearing at me, but that someone had used the word "fucker" in a post somewhere on my forum--which had caused the entire site to be blocked and replaced with a message indicating which 'forbidden keyword' had been detected.

Edit: crap that's not it... I remember what you are talking about and I thought it was named the boogeyman by caelic...

altpersona · « **Reply #234 on:** February 08, 2016, 09:56:39 AM »

yup, thats one of the 3

I do remember for sure that the build used the Body Leech PrC from the Mind's Eye archive (and maybe Thrallherd), but I haven't been able to find the original. I think it was from Caelic, but I could be mistaken, as I seem to have convoluted his Boogeyman build and this one...

Evidently it was a very popular/well-remembered build, as I find several people referencing it across multiple forums as one of the most evil/memorable builds they'd seen.

Edit: Redoing the build would probably be a good idea, anyway, as I'm pretty sure it used psion as the base, and ardent would probably be better as 1) you can "make up" for the lost manifester levels with Practiced Manifester and 2) the number of rounds you have to use your leeched power points is based on Wisdom (and Ardent is a wis-based manifester).
Whatever you do, it will be a high-level build as the Body Leech requires you to be able to manifest Mind Switch, which is 6th level. So you'd have to be 16th level to get the Body Leech capstone. If you're using homebrew or PF, there are ways to get nearly identical abilities much earlier.

i was reminded of the thing in that new Evil campaign thread...

that Bonded Witch seemed like it had some stuff in common but without the original for reference

A carefully played beast-bonded witch could be nearly unkillable in PF past level 8, and could be a lot of fun to play as well. I put this one together with a raktavarna familiar, but an arbiter inevitable would be more powerful (but would force you to be LN instead of LE). The build idea is basically a "behind the scenes manipulator", and is based off the idea of being able to buff your allies from a mile away using the Scar hex and other things (from the Witch handbook on this board).

is what reminded me and restarted the hunt...

altpersona · « **Reply #239 on:** February 08, 2016, 12:37:11 PM »

seems like a twofer for a possession based build

FoP might be pushing the content barrier a little thin 3.0 to pf

same w/ ghostwalk material :/

edit:

i only see two google result pages from 'body leech' -naruto, i guess naruto could be shooting myself in the foot but i dont see the right post being there...

i wonder if the original was on the wizards board?
