Epic game: The Eye of Profane Truth (Full)

[Rkhet]

The Boots double your base speed. They do indeed stack with the Monk speed bonus - which is applied after the doubling.

If you are hasted, you would not get the benefit of additional speed, since that is a supernatural source of enhancement.

Ranger Rick: I was just checking over your char. Here's what you'll need to fix:

1. TBD isn't a very fantasy-sounding name.

2. You didn't pick a race.

3. You should name the bonuses properly. For example, you wrote:

con 14 (+2DD+5 book) 21

it should be Con 14 +2 unnamed +5 inherent = 21. Makes it easier for me to read.

4. You have a +1 Insight bonus to initiative (Rod of Alertness) and +1 Luck to saves (Robe of Stars). Those needs to be mentioned in your stats block (which needs to be tidied up. Use the creature entries from the SRD as a template).

5. I'm not sure how you calculated your AC. It would have helped if you had broken down the bonuses. Here's what I have:

10+7dex+8 armor(Bracers) +7 natural(DD) +5 natural enhancement(Amulet of NA)

6. Skills: gaining Int does not retroactively grant skill points. Also, synergy bonuses are granted in blocks of +2, so you can never have +5 synergy to jump.

7. No custom magic items. That means your Bracers of Armor With Trimmings needs to be rewritten.

8. Your longbow: an item with a special ability needs to have at least a +1 bonus. So your bow would be:

+1 Shocking Burst Composite Longbow of Distance (Str +4)

+4 total. Cost = 32,800gp.

9. Item costs:

Carpet of Flying 10x10:60,000
Rope of Climbing: 3,000
Manuals: 137,500

10. You didn't list your speed.

11. Maximize the first HD. You should have 414 HP.

12. Since you have more than two rings, you need to specify which ones you are wearing. I suggest having a separate "Items on the body" entry.

Silentspace:

1. Your AC: you list "+11 AC bonus", which I assume is from the Monk's Belt. But that grants +7 Unnamed (Wisdom) and +1 Unnamed (Monk), which leaves you +3 short.

2. You didn't figure in the bonuses from your Pale Green and Orange Ioun Stones.

3. Break down your attack bonus for me. I can't check it if it's in a single number.

4. Inherent bonuses to Int does not grant skill points. This avoids me having to deal with arguments on what level the characters got their +int books.

5. Adjust your build guide to show the levels you got each feat.

6. When I totalled up your items, you had 66,700 gp left, not 341,700gp.

...And that's it. Quite tidy, otherwise.

Moreth:

Just a cursory look through yours, because I see you haven't finished buying stuff yet. Hurry up.

1. You can't qualify for Ur-priest on Monk 1/Wiz 4. One of the Reqs is Bluff 8, which is a class skill for neither. I recommend Swashbuckler. Just get a Monk's Belt for the AC. Also, you might want to consider swapping out a level of Archmage for Wizard, to get the bonus Metamagic.

2. Taking 10 levels of Wizard in your epic levels won't grant you bonus epic feats. Those only appear after you take 20 levels of a base class or 10 levels of a PrC.

3. In 30 levels, you get +7 bonus to stats, not +8.

4. Dust of Sneezing and Choking is a banned item.

5. Bead of Karma cannot be bought by itself. You have to buy a Strand of Prayer Beads for 25,800. Not a lot of difference, I know, but there you go.

6. You copied-and-pasted the entry on Pearls of Power, I see... which ones did you actually buy?

Alright, that's enough work from me today. I'll check the rest later.

It is actually feasible to boost all six stats at the same time:

Int: Headband of Intellect
Wis: Periapt of Wisdom
Con: Bracers of Epic Health
Dex: Boots of Swiftness
Cha: Rod of Splendor (+4)/Epic Splendor (+8) (Avoids taking up the Cloak slot, which has good items in it. Epic Splendor is also cheaper than a plain +8 epic item for some reason)
Str: Belt of Giant Strength, or, if you'd rather have Monk's Belt, use Divine Metamagic + Persistent Divine Power. Or maybe an ioun stone.

Instead of Bracers of Armor, use Greater Mage Armor.

Emancipated Spawn doesn't seem that bad at first glance, so long as you calculate the ECL correctly. ECL will always be monster ECL + Character levels + ES levels, instead of it kicking in at level 3. Can you explain to me what you plan to do with it?

I guess without the thought bottle it is less dangerous, but other abuse would depend on how you read the class. Taking three levels is a bad idea for anyone, but if the DM allows the player to take just two levels and then take other class levels, it can be a bit dangerous.

Edit: Disregard that last bit.

Ioun stones and any other unslotted items that give an unnamed bonus do not stack with themselves. That means ONE orange ioun stone and ONE nightstick.

The whole nightstick thing about made me cry. Without nightsticks, spelldancer, or incantrix, I don't think I can come up with a way to use persistent spell for free.

Master Transmogrifist: Go for it. I love that class. But with great powah comes great attention from the DM.

I really like it too, but I'm scared to think how much effort it will take to have all the stats up for my many forms. Even so it sounds like such fun that I will probably post a character around it.

AMF blocks LOS. It also requires LOS itself, so it is blocked by a Wall of Force.

*Grins mischeviously* This makes me happy....

So work has been keeping me too busy to spend too much time on this of late, but I hope to have a character up for you to review sometime before tomorrow.

Well, there is technically a way. Shapechange into an Atropal Scion. It gets its Rebuke Undead as an SU ability you can use.

But of course that's banned too.

1. I don't own whatever book swashbuckler is in... I guess I'm going to switch the Monk level to Cleric (with the Trickery domain), my AC is pretty good anyway...
2. No, but it will grant me Wizard bonus feats ever 5 levels, that can be used for Epic feats.
3. Ah, my mistake.
4. Lol! Of course it is. You could kill a God with that stuff, an undead construct God even. .
5. Ok
6. None yet, I'll buy my spells and some other stuff first then buy pearls for whatever I've got left.

 

[Rkhet]

Non-epic classes never grant epic feats. It's covered in a faq/errata somewhere.

At any rate, Wizard bonus feats can only be Metamagic or Item Creation. Epic Wizard Bonus Feats draw from a different list.

Swashbuckler is from Complete Warrior.

I'm not tracking spells known, so don't bother buying spells. Just assume you have any you'll need.

Rod of Excellent Magic? Boots of Swiftness? Cloak of Epic Resistance?
