Epic game: The Eye of Profane Truth (Full)

[Pyrex]

Ah, even if Ethergaunts can't speak, you're currently Shapechanged into a Human, right?

Last time I checked, Humans *can* speak, so, no problem, right?

 

[silentspace]

Ah, good point. Rhakzan was shapechanged momentarily into a mute human, but he'll change form again into one that isn't mute!

 

[Pyrex]

Just to let you all know, I'll be out of town (and offline) from Wednesday evening through Tuesday morning. Feel free to NPC Lessa until I get back.

 

[Nephtys]

Hey, Rkhet, you're doing great. I really enjoy this game.

 

[Pyrex]

Got a question for ya.

Given that elementals are depicted as being roughly humanoid shaped, which of my items will still function while wildshaped into an elemental?

 

[silentspace]

Rhakzan is taking suggestions / requests for spells. He's a wizard with a relatively low caster level, but pretty wicked save DCs. His BAB is medium-ish. His strongest attack though (with the highest DC), is assassination.

 

[Pyrex]

Easy. Pick spells that don't allow saves.

For example:
--Time Stop (Gives you your three rounds of study... )
--Travel Spells (We'll likely be needing plenty)
--Summon spells (Summon 7-9 will seriously slow down non-epic mooks)
--(Quickened) Black Tentacles
--Power Word spells
--Reaving Dispel (CArc)
--(Quickened) battlefield control spells (Clouds & Walls)

--Time Stop (Gives you your three rounds of study... )

Brilliant! Rkhet, will you allow this?

He's already got travel spells and battlefield control spells. Summon spells and black tentacles seem sort of weak if we're facing CR 30 foes, but maybe... Power Word spells are subject to SR, what I'm trying to avoid. He gains no benefit from Reaving Dispel (caster level too low).

If Rkhet allows the timestop use Rhakzan will take that. But what to do against air elementals? What are the best no-sr direct damage spells? Orb of acid/fire/electricity/sound/cold? 15d6 isn't great, but at least it's something. Anything else?

 

[Pyrex]

We're not always going to be facing CR 30 foes.

Plenty of your spells are plenty useful when we've got to mow through larger numbers of lower CR opponents.

Wow. You listed all the Orb spells except the good one. Orb of Force FTW.

 

[silentspace]

Yep, orb of force! I guess that's it then? I was kind of hoping there was a higher damage spell that ignores SR. Ah well.

Love the time stop idea!
