It's what you use your Monk for. I mean, what were they going to use their Standard for, anyway?

dealing 40+ dice of damage in a single strike?

That sounds like a Challenge to me.

From the Eyes of the Lich Queen adventure (Eberron setting) comes the Altar of the Dragon's Eye location.

It grants additional uses to Dragonmark bearers.
PC's that are of the dragonmarked races that do not currently have a dragonmark gain either an Aberrant Dragonmark or Least Dragonmark (player's choice) as a bonus feat.
PC's that are of the non-dragonmarked races gain the Aberrant Dragonmark (resist energy ability only) as a bonus feat!

Notable since this allows non-dragonmarked races legitimate access to some feats/classes.

Nice!

[Garryl]

Servant of the Heavens gives you +1 to any roll 1/day.
Hit Dice on level up are rolls.
Suddenly this crappy feat isn't quite as crappy. It's like a non-retroactive Improved Toughness with a minor little +1 to various things floating around.

I pointed this out in the handbook. I also pointed out it isn't rated for cost, but that 4k is more than fair.

I got to watching some perpetual machines on Youtube today and it got me thinking. So I checked and sure enough, This Thread doesn't mention the perpetual combo.

So tossing it out in case no one is aware of it. If you use Arcane Thesis (and others) to mitigate Repeat Spell's cost to +0, then by using a Rod of Absorption you can create a perpetual spell engine. It's simple, cast a Repeated Spell on your self while holding the Rod. Say 6th level, by next round the Rod gained 12 Spell levels allowing you to recast from the Rod, expending six to gain twelve. Repeat NI times through out the day as needed for a couple freebie Spells at each Encounter and infinite Spells out of combat.

Rods of Absorption can only ever gain 50 spell levels, and can't be recharged. The combo you're thinking of is sanctum spell with repeat spell on mage's lucubration. And of course, rary's arcane conversion.

Per Dragon 336 clerics who worship Kyuss can get demons through the Planar Ally line of spells that have the Favoured Spawn of Kyuss template applied to them! Even better, they can give the template to other beings through their Foul Embrace ability. Free minion boosts!

Not really, nice combo, but I was thinking of an absorption based trick.

Google turns up Empowered Absorption. 1d4+6 per PHB's example is 7~10+50% for an average 12 points of storage. You need 9 to recast and guaranteed 10 points of storage so if you have an At-Will to recharge it, it's 3 floating Spell Levels to expend however you wish. Not as drastic as infinite 9th level spells, but effectively infinite 3rd level spells isn't so bad. Best of all Empower costs less, you can run this off two Feats.

Still works out through. Have a reminder on two ways to perpetually cast spells all day

might as well tack on Spellfire Wielder while you're at it.

cataclysm mage allows any qualifying character of any race to have any dragonmark you want, and switch it out every so often, too.

... assuming that you can survive the fluff text.

[awaken_D_M_golem]

Q about that ... how difficult is it to find + utilize that Altar Of The Dragon's Eye ??

I ask because the Otyugh's Hole location pops up all
of the time, and this one could be somewhat as useful.


I could imagine fluff like:  this is just the way her "worshipping"
happens, and/or basic proselytizing.  Here's an evil cookie (sucker).

Yeah, the part where the world's most powerful dragons actively want you dead suggests that no character finishes that prestige class and lives for more than a day.

just a wee bit.

of course, they did mention sending assassins, so you may make it a few days. and i suppose that it depends on how advertised your actions have been, and whether you flaunt what you have or not.

[Cagemarrow]

You just want to gain the Vecna Blooded template sometime before then, immunity to divination and knowing exactly who and where someone is trying to gain info on you from goes a long way to keeping you prepared for any assassination attempts.

[Mithril Leaf]

From the Book of Vile Darkness, there's the somewhat interesting spell imprison possessor, which would normally be pretty boring, but if you've got a fiend of possession in you, it gives you a bunch of leverage for always getting that bonus. Plus it's a cheap way to make magic jar permanent with a 5th level spell.

Vecna... in Eberron...  How?  Unless the DM has altered the Eberron cosmology, I don't think it's possible...

[brujon]

Far realms link both dimensions together. 

What? Far fetched, but still possible!
