[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 2640089, member: 2358"] Okay, I was just reading through epic skills, and I honestly haven't laughed so hard since the last Adam Sandler movie I saw. Some of the stuff there just isn't possible regardless of skill, yet the book implies it's natural talent. Funny stuff. Here are some classics for those who haven't read up in a while: Implanting a suggestion to swim in a pool of acid because it'd be refreshing gives the opposing Sense Motive check +50. You can scale perfectly smooth ceilings Spider-Man style with a DC 100 Climb check. You can turn hostile enemies into suicidal fanatics with a DC 150 Diplomacy check. Using Disable Device as a free action gives the Disable Device DC +100. It's the Fonz effect. Perfectly training an animal in one minute gives the Handle Animal DC +100. You can swim up a waterfall with a DC 80 Swim check. Here is the funniest and most inane of them all: You could jump out of a plane at 30,000 feet and land on your feet without getting hurt in any way (not even a scratch) with a DC 100 Tumble check. WotC has quite a wicked sense of humor! Does any DM out there allow these? They seem broken beyond repair to me. A lot of these effects are better than spells even. [/QUOTE]
