Epic game: The Eye of Profane Truth (Full)

Deadline is sunday. Permanent Emanation (Blasphemy) wouldn't work, as that's a spread, not an emanation.

What replacement feature do you want in place of Cosmic Connection?

Naturalization doesn't make you immune to energy. It just means Dismissal won't work on you if you're on another plane.

Persistent Spell only works on spells with a range of Self, short/medium/long, or 'x feet'. It specifically doesn't work on touch spells, according to errata.

SG, just one thing I spotted:
Blasphemy is not an Emanation, it is a Spread, and Unholy Aura is a Burst, also not an Emanation.
They can't be used with that feat, afaik.

Dooh! I liked the idea of having weak creatures dying all around the character

Thanks for catching that. I assumed that since it had a duration, it would be acceptable. I didn't even see the "Burst". So, how can a burst have a duration? Rkhet, what's you say on this?

OK, chances are that I'll switch cosmic descrier to another class. It's not what I thought it was. I may just take another prestige class that boosts my sorcerer caster level.

Dooh! I did not know that. That significantly restricts the usefulness of Persistent spell (makes sense though, because it's very powerful).
Ho about persistent:
Level 4: Freedom of Movement: Subject moves normally despite impediments
Level 4: Divine Power: You gain attack bonus, +6 to Str, and 1 hp/level.


Thaks for the input.
Cheers,

I have a quick question for those who are very familiar with the rules.

Would a warlock that has access to dark discorporation (immune to weapon damage) with a Permanent emanation [epic] Antimagic Field be 100% invulnerable?

Seems possible with the following construction: Monk 1 / Warlock 8 / Ur priest 2 / sacred fist 10 / enlightened fist 10

Cheers,

SG

 

[Rkhet]

FoM and DP works, yes. Some other good ones are Divine Favor, Righteous Magic, Visage of the Deity, Shield, and Wraithstrike.

 

[Rkhet]

Dark Discorporation is spell-like, yes? Nothing supernatural works inside an AMF, so you won't be able to do that.

I didn't even see the "Burst", but you're right. So, how can a burst have a duration?
Rkhet, what's your say on this?
Can I use Permanent emanation [Epic] with Unholy aura?

thanks and cheers,

SG

The reason it's listed as a 'Spread' is that Blasphemy is an instaneous spell with a lingering effect.

If the spell itself weren't instantaneous it'd be an 'Emanation' instead of a 'Spread'.

Unholy Aura is a 'Burst' because that describes how it affects the spells targets (warded creatures); it's another instantaneous spell with a lingering effect.

Persistent Spell only works on spells with a range of Self, short/medium/long, or 'x feet'. It specifically doesn't work on touch spells, according to errata.

Actually, it's worse than that. It doesn't work on spells with short/medium/long range as that's not considered a 'Fixed' range.

Which means it pretty much works on Personal spells and a couple oddballs like Detect Magic.

 

[Rkhet]

Well, you could argue that it has a fixed range for a given level.

The rules are quite clear on Permanent Emanation, though: it has to have 'Emanation' mentioned in its Area entry.

Personally, I quite like Permanent Emanation (Silence).
