Rebuilding question...
« on: November 11, 2011, 01:34:38 PM »
Ok, so I was messing around with/looking at Psychic Reformation.

Very nice power, allows re-working of skills, feats, and powers gained (possibly, by extension, spells gained from level advancement, but that is kind of a grey area).

However, it doesn't allow you to change out classes or prestige classes that were taken.  :(

So, I'm trying to figure out a way to "retrain" or change out my classes, in game, that is legally viable and can be done in only an hour or two.

I know Unearthed Arcana has a retraining section that indicates you could, eventually, permanently retrain classes or prestige classes that were taken, as long as you continue to meet the pre-reqs for the remaining prestige classes or new prestige classes you have or will take.  However, I'm guessing (since I don't have my books right here with me) that this would take time, as in possibly weeks.  This is not acceptable.

I understand that some people do some kind of level draining, but I'm not sure how that would work to truly take a different level of a class or prestige class, other than to eventually regain all the lost xp, also sure to take more than a few hours, even in a verdant oasis of xp available for the killing/taking.  Note: this is assuming no use of a Thought Bottle, which would really likely not be allowed by my DM.

Any ideas?   :???

Does it need to be an hour or two of your own time, or an hour or two of time for whatever local event you're trying to work around?  Plane shift to somewhere time runs a lot faster might enable you to take on one or more rebuilding quests and still get back in time for whatever you wanted to be a different class for.

An hour or two of my own time, not the event.

So no, shifting to an accelerated time plane wouldn't work.

Don't think Wish or Miracle would allow for an almost complete rebuild of a 20 level character.
