[Epic] Fun with Permanent Emanation

[Shadeus]

Hmm, my only comment is that a permanent antilife shell is going to have a very definite impact on your love life. Unless you find that perfect vampire lass....

Only the ELH would have such a hideously broken feat...

It's not broken. It's epic. There's a difference.

But I really like the False Vision idea

Krafen, read the Ward seed more carefully - you can make it's effects PERSONAL. So, while YOU would be immune to the AMF ... the fellow you were grappling woudl be fully and entirely subject to the effects of the AMF.

Wherein lay the brokenness of the combintion, and our decision to houserule it away. ^_^

Shadeus: Permanent Emanation allows you to lower or raise the effect as a free action. ^_^

Take it down and bring it up as a free action. Good for a quickie.

I haven't looked through them all, but Consecrate and Desecrate don't emanate from the cater, they emante froma target within close range.

Subdual or lethal, htetickrt. You can choose either when you cast E2S. ^_^

Oops. Don't have my books handy and forgot about that.

"Attack me and die" does have a nice ring to it, though.

I wonder if the lethal and the subdual damage would count as different effects, so that you could have one permanent emanation of each. That way you could stop bar fights, regular combats, and do 40d6 to those who just generally tick you off.

Well, "broken" and "epic" are by no means mutually exclusive...

I'm just not a fan of this feat. Like Persistent Spell, it's a very powerful feat that the designers chose to "balance" by making it applicable to a very oddball category of spells; a category that changes radically with every new sourcebook that comes out. There's a real difference between the "detect" spells and end to strife, and one that Andy Collins and Bruce Cordell probably didn't anticipate when they designed the feat.

Worst part is, I can't think of a way to fix it. Oh well...

I really like the Permanent Emanation coupled with Antimagic Field for pure flavor.On an epic cleric of Mystra,it is great."You shall NOT use magic while I'm around!"

Actually, it'd be the Forsaker kind of thing to do.

Easy: just say "no" if something doesn't seem to fit with the original feat's power level (such as End to Strife).
