Epic game: The Eye of Profane Truth (Full)

[Pyrex]

Well, you could certainly argue that, and as DM you're plenty welcome to rule that, but it's been printed (either in the errata or in the FAQ, I'm not sure which) that it Short/Med/Long != 'Fixed'.

So I've got one more idea for a workaround on my items issue Rhket.
How do you feel about intelligent items?

I'm pondering investing a massive amount of my cash into an intelligent Epic Periapt of Wisdom; 'Shard of the Eye' whose Special Purpose would be reversal of the blight humanity has wrought upon the earth...

 

[Rkhet]

No, dude. You'll just have to buy epic items like everyone else.

 

[Pyrex]

*shrug*

Oddly enough, the 'Intelligent' portion of the cost of the 'Intelligent Epic Periapt of Wisdom +20' was only 200k of the 4,200,000gp price tag and can be kicked out...

Ah well. *goes back to drawing board*

Edit: Hmm, they only list through +12 in the epic item list. That's not going to work either.

 

[Ferrix]

Nope.

Four feats, four skills, three class features and two special attacks/qualities of your choosing, all compressed into ten levels? It's so much outside the normal power range that it's surreal.

hrm... doesn't seem too far out of the power range for a full ten levels, considering most classes provide basically the equivalent. Thanks for crushing another fun idea.

Have you banned the following yet...?

Emancipated Spawn (SS)
Stacking Orange Ioun Stones
Master Transmogrifist (CA)


Just thought I would ask before trying anything crazy.

Edit: Also, I was wondering how you will be treating AMF. Does this spell block line of effect or not? (ie do you like skip williams or andy collins )

You're kidding right? I think this is one of the few PrCs that is universally agreed upon as broken, if you pick the right abilities anyway.

Well the chosen abilities were up to Rhket's discretion, and the bonus feats aren't that bad since you have to meet the pre-reqs. In 7 levels, I get two class features (I had chosen Divine Grace as a Paladin a CR 2 creatures ability, and Touch of Death from Thrall of Orcus a CR 13 or so creatures ability), and one special quality/attack.

I think I'm just going to give up on this game because it's too much of a damn hassle to get a character that I spent a few hours making get shot down consistently, even though they were all from the allowed books.

Oh, I didn't mean your idea was bad (sorry I didn't point that out), I just meant the class in general. Maybe the DM doesn't want it for just that reason, because he would have to tell the player how they can use the class and how they can't, which is kinda a drag.

If I were you I would stick around (or maybe that's what I would do if I were me ). Maybe if you come up with some other character ideas and run them by the DM before spending too much time detailing them you will have better luck.

I did post the concept before I delved into it, he seemed fine with it at first, then shot it down a couple hours later.

I'm running out of ideas so I'm going to ask for suggestions; particularly from Rhket if he has any.

How do I go about exchanging 5,000,000gp for power in a fashion that doesn't involve an arsenal of magic items?

The only method I've found thusfar in the rules I have available is the stat boosting tomes, and at best that only allows me to spend 825k.
