Ego Whip Undead
« on: November 26, 2012, 09:01:21 PM »
I want to trade blows with a Caller in Darkness. Ego Whip for Ego Whip.
Undead are only immune to damage to their physical scores, and drain. Ego Whip causes damage to Cha, so no problem there.

Undead are immune to [Mind-Affecting], which Ego Whip is.

Spark of Life can remove undead immunities, but there is no magic in this world (Arcane or Divine). Only classes that exist are Psionic and ToB.

How to do this?

Make a metapsionic alternate of Song of the Dead?  (reposted here)
What do I win?
An awesome-five for mentioning Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

Short of using house rules, I don't really see how it can be done, given your restrictions.
I don't pee messages into the snow often , but when I do , it's in Cyrillic with Fake Viagra.  Stay frosty my friends.

Well, damn.
Lets see if this helps:
All of the official D&D content is viable.
WotC, 2nd party, and third.
So, Kingdoms of Kalamar, Ravenloft, Iron Kingdoms, Dragon, et al. are all viable here.

Does that change the potential at all?

According to what I've researched on this subject, and applying it to psionics, Bend Reality (or Reality Revision) can duplicate the effects of an Ego Whip while retaining its Clairsentience school, thereby bypassing immunity to Telepathy/Enchantment or [Mind-Affecting] effects.

There's also a PF feat which might be usable at your table with some modifications: Threnodic Spell.

As a last resort, as your DM to homebrew a feat based on Requiem (from Libris Mortis) to achieve a similar effect. After all, there's not that much of a difference between bardic music and Telepathy powers when they're both very close to Enchantment spells anyway.
