Gaming W/Jemal - Epic Mortal Kombat (Character creation.)

[Darimaus]

Thanks Jemal, I think I have enough info to have my character made up before I go to sleep tonight. Btw, the reason why I asked about the arms was for an alternative, since they do accomplish the same thing as gloves of man.

 

[Jemal]

Avalon - Where's that from, and what's it based off?

Darimaus - cool. Go with the gloves, they shouldn't be too expensive to add onto whatever uber-magical gloves you were planning on.

 

[Avalon®]

Book of Exalted Deeds p.115. It;s an actual item.

 

[Vertexx69]

All skill boosters must either be in an appropriate slot, or cost extra (I consider Rings as appropriate for any skill booster). Max +40 item, and after +20 they're considered epic (X10 cost).

Ouchie that means the +40 skill boost items cost 1.6 mil right?

What would be the cost of A greater invisibility ring? Standard one costing 20k. Maybe like 100-120k? I dont know if one already exists.

Solarius - Anything can be a pain depending on how it's used, but the Void Incarnate is just naturally painful to DM. By lvl 10, they've got Improved Easion & Mettle(Fort/Will). With a good Reflex save (And Dextrous fort/will), this makes them essentially immune to anything that allows a save.
Add that to their existing immunity to force effects, mind affects, and divinations, as well as their Freedom of Movement(Immunity to grapples) and Void Presence. THEN, take into account that all of these powers are EXTRAORDINARY!
Definitely NOT Underpowered. I call them the "can't touch this" class. Not too much on the offense, but with the sneak attack 1/round, just pump your rogue levels non-epic, Dual-wield Keen Kukri's, and get something that lets you sneak attack & Crit constructs/undead.
[sblock=rant]Worst I ever saw, though, was a guy who combined them with Kensai, and one other "secret ingredient". The end result was that he could make a concentration Check (Very easy to pump) vs anything that allowed a save, and if he made it, nothing happened.
If he'd had more levels he would've added legendary dreadnought for the 'unstoppable' part, which then allows you to make a save (at +20) vs something that doesn't NORMALLY allow a save.[/sblock]

You sound like someone who allowed something that seemed perfectly reasonable, then it exploded into this horrific exploit that totaled everything you could brought into play and then some. I can see where my character was shaping up to be something similar... I'll find something else to put levels into. Maybe the original Daring Warrior idea, or perhaps Swashbuckler for AC madness. We'll see.

Alrighty, I still need to write up a personality/background, as well as post a word for word section on the outside sources things I used, however I'm pretty much done so heres my rough draft.

Wow and I thought voidmind was broken, paragon should be worth +25-30 LA easy :\
+15 is like giving away creature of legend for +1
I also didnt know we were allowed to make custom items like +20 stats things, when he said no item creation.

 

[Shayuri]

Given that the epic psuedonatural template is +10 CR (and thus anywhere from +15 to +20 EL) and is far inferior...

On the other hand, I don't have much room to complain.

 

[Avalon®]

Jemal, so is the ring allowed?

If you'll recall, I did inquire on such things before. It may be just an assumption, but I'm pretty sure stat boosters fall into the same catagory as skill boosters. If such isn't true, well that just means I have a few more million GP to spend on more important things.

BTW: To all who consider paragon to be broken by looking at what I concocted, I assure you that my non-paragon equivilant is in no way inferior to this design, and that I chose paragon as a flavor thing. And realistically, I've not surpassed some of the other builds posted here. I don't think I deserve the Hangman's noose quite yet.
