[Full] Epic game!

[Zack2216]

I wouldn't be able to survive your version of the spell. I would be taking 25d6 per round, not including energy damage. The backlash would last 120 hours, and I would take 25d6 per round. Besides, I like my version better, because it is permanent .

Can I use my version, or would you rather have me use that one?

 

[electric-ant]

Eeep - you're right.

However, my problem with your version was:

• You were basing it off a new house-rule seed, whereas Victim was making pretty much the same effect with an existing, playtested, official seed.
• Your spell is quite powerful - compare it to a +15 fiery blast weapon - that's a good 9-10 million gold pieces right there, it's doing 2d6 less bonus damage, it is of only one possible energy type, and it can't be taken with you in a wild shape.

I'd rather you use mine (actually, go ahead and edit mine a bunch; there's definitely room for improvement). For this spell, however, I'll let you take the backlash only once, since the DC is quite high enough without having to spend mondo XP tp mitigate every time you renew it. You could make it permanent for an extra x5 (applied before mitigating factors and after everything else) if you really want it, but I figure without an XP cost and only backlash damage once, it's probably cheaper to up the duration a bunch and have it last a week or a month.

Jemal, any of those sound fine, but I don't own the Quintessential Fighter, so you'll have to give me the details if you include something from that sourcebook.

so do you need the states for the deepwood sniper?.

Question: Ant, would you allow spells from Bastion Press' Spells and Magic?

 

[electric-ant]

I have the stats for Deepwood Sniper, but I don't own Spells & Magic, so anything from that book, you'll need to send me an overview of.

 

[Zack2216]

what if I dropped the enhancement bonus on my spell down to +10? would it work then?

Also, what metamagic feat was it that let spells last all day? (I know it is in the fearun manual)

Combat: I will usually either summon, or cast a spell on myself and/or my animal companion. I will then wildshape (into an elder elemental that would be beneficial to me) and move to any long range attackers to take them out, my animal companion helping with the melee characters. If things look bad, I will either fly out of range and nuke, or (utter doom with no chance of survival unless we flee) revert to normal and then transform into an invisible stalker and fly away.

 

[Jemal]

Zack, the feat you're looking for is the 'Persistant Spell' Metamagic Feat. Lets a spell cast with it last 24 hours. Prereq: Extend Spell. I don't have the rest of the details though )

 

[Sulli]

here is the rest of the information for the persistent spell feat. it's in tome and blood

prerequisite: extend spell

Benefit: a persistent spell has a duration of 24 hours. the persistent spell must have a personal or fixed range(for example, comperhend languages or detect magic). spell of instantaneous duration cannot be affected by this feat, nor can a spell whose effects is discharged. you need not concentrate on the spell such as detect magic and detect thought to be aware of the mere presence or obsence of the thing detected, but you must still concentrate to gain additional information as normal. Concentration on such a spell is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. a persistent spell uses up a spell slot four levels higher than the spell's actual level.

Oops- skill points from intelligence will be retroactive, to make bookkeeping a lot easier. However, intelligence gain from magic items that's not an inherent bonus (headband of intellect, etc.) doesn't contribute towards your skill points.

i have a problem with this, after i was finished my character, jemal pointed out that a headband of intellect wouldn't count towards my intelegence. with this i have a problem because the bonuses from the item do count towards the skills. if you don't let it count towards the skill point then that's like saying (for example, the gloves of dex) don't count towards your ranged attack.
