Epic game: The Eye of Profane Truth (Full)

[Ferrix]

I admit that most of the wonderous items aren't exciting, but many of the rings and rods are great.

I'll second the latter comment, and wonderous items is where non-epic (read non-outrageously expensive items) items really shine. Yet wonderous items make up all but a few slots.

The epic rods are well, epic, the rings are quite cool too.

Making the Big Bad here.

What would you guys prefer: a BBEG with standard NPC wealth (and is therefore easier to kill) or a BBEG with PC wealth, who is harder but with more lewt?

Both will attempt to run away when the going gets bad, meaning you get XP but no lewt.

 

[Ferrix]

I'd go the latter, and my secondary comment would be, are you following the same rules for items that we are ?

 

[Rkhet]

Yes, yes I am. Other than the Eye, which is an artifact of mysterious and unknown power.

The BBEG I'm currently making is not the Wyrmslayer himself, though, so no eye. Only CR33, but... should be fun.

Rkhet, what do you think of a Mind Flayer HD 8//Soul Eater 8/Illithid Savant 7 for a character? I'm wondering this since if we're going to be fighting something with immunity to Energy Drain, such a character will basically be without his primary attack.

 

[Rkhet]

There will be ones who are immune. There will be ones who are not.

 

[Ferrix]

There will be ones who are immune. There will be ones who are not.

Well, as long as I'll have the chance to suck some life out of a creature, I'm all for that!

 

[Rkhet]

I'd rather you don't play Illithid Savant, actually. The class abilities require you to suck out brains of powerful creatures - which isn't something I'm comfortable to handwave. The abilities are brokenly powerful if you get to pick any creature you want.

Where is Soul Eater from?

Argh! That was the point of Illithid Savant, to gain a few select choices of abilities, although I was making sure to pick abilities of creatures whose CR would always be less than mine, usually quite a bit less. *sighs* There goes an ultimately cool concept and a couple hours of character creation time.

Soul Eater is from Book of Vile Darkness
