One day, the man who would become Basket Case realized that the world was nothing more than a basket, one that contained the entirety of civilization and was constantly beset by the TERMITES of INJUSTICE. After meditating long and hard on how to prevent the world from going to HELL in a HANDBASKET, he came to the conclusion that he had to weave a plan to preserve FIBER of HARMONY with the LID of RIGHTEOUSNESS.

A word of thanks to Dictum Mortuum for his Basket Weaver's Handbook and the following inspiring builds:

A Masterwork Basket. I think the world is ready for this.

 

[Dandu]

The world is my basket.

Also, check back in an hour for a more thorough build.

Definitely a water orc...

 

[StreamOfTheSky]

A dragonborn Water Orc for +4 str, +4 con, -2 dex and all mentals, flight, and to get rid of that annoying light sensitivity and the vulnerabilities to fire you acquire in exchange for that free +2 con from the water race traits.


Looking forward to how crazy this build gets, though Im dissapointed that in the end it's just another abuse of the broken Aptitutde weapon enhancement. Granted, it not being used for something particularly good in this case. But seeing the word "Aptitude" next to a weapon tends to immediately sour me on any build.

and UNDERWATER basket weaving, of course...

 

[StreamOfTheSky]

Is it possible to thread a basket out of adamantine fibers? It would be no small task to craft, sure, but this is BASKET CASE we're talking about! And how awesome would it be to destroy things by throwing a basket at them?

EDIT: The build needs more Insightful Strike. Greater IS would be better, but it looks like he hasn't enough Warblade levels for that. And while Burning Blade for a flaming basket is awesome, without Martial Study or Swordsage dip, he can't have it. Maybe from a Desert Wind item.

That's not quite fair. It's also using the broken Sizing enchantment to create Colossal baskets.

Are you saying that BASKET CASE could not use his basket with such proficiency that it defies the VERY LAWS OF PHYSICS AND REALITY to bounce about his enemies like a BASKETBALL of DOOM?

But since you insist, I have edited in a non-aptitude based build for your consideration.
