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

[sblock=LR]I'm gonna have to say no to the antimagic field (Whether supernatural or from an item) right now. A character built around an antimagic field will always beat one that isn't, and nobody else will be made for it. If you want to spurn magic, you could either take the Vow of Poverty, or we could talk about trading your money for something else.

[sblock=Jemal]Um okay DomI (destroyer of my ideas) :D

How about a reduce LA for the Paragon template.[/sblock]

Hmm.. You mean for your 'special' power, or in exchange for not having any money?

First, most Fighters don't have that high of a Reflex save. Looking at your fellow party members for example : Grugg needs a 16, and I'm not sure how the rest of you got such high saves.. I'll be going over the math for everything shortly. Suffice it to say, the average save at lvl 40 for the types that'll be in this is ~ +30. (Also keep in mind that 1/2 dragon breath weapons are SUPPOSED to be useless at lvl 40.. The rest of them have "6d8 elemental damage".
With that being said, I am open to suggestions, but a giant boost seems out of order.
Hmm... If you're wanting to be more based off of your breath weapon, I could make it more powerful. You've allready got it at every 1d4 rounds instead of 1/day, and you don't have the feat that does that. Did I give that to you for free? Either way, if you have that you COULD take the Heighten Breath feat..
IN other news, what's an Elven Warbow?

OK, how's everyone coming? SO far it looks like we've got 6 posted in the Rogues Gallery:

Darimaus - Caltrop
Rino - Iapetus
Brother_Allard - Grugg
Avalon - Tchk'kla'khan
Voidrazor - Tehrazhon
Vertex - Tenneth

I'll start looking over characters right away, but I think we should soon be ready to start IC Setup & Roleplaying pretty soon.

We also have the following as interested -

LordRaven - Um.. depends on when I stop throwing walls in front of him. (sorry).
Shayuri - (Currently moving?) - Nymph.
Solarius - Shifter or Daring warrior/Rogue. (Swashbuckler?)
Caros - Some sort of Swordsman?

SO, if YOU think you've got enough of a concept in mind that you can begin Roleplaying (Stats won't be needed for a little while), then "Check" the 'ready box'.
 

[sblock=Jemal]My bad, I had taken dragon breath that lets me use the breath weapon every 1D4 rounds, but seeing it was going to be useless I changed it out but missed the description lower down the post. And I meant elven greatbow from ELH not warbow ;p elven greatbow matches your strength modifier no matter how it changes and every arrow fired from the bow is considered keen no matter it existing bonus. It also has Unerring accuracy but I already have that epic lvl feat as bonus arcane archer. Or maybe take away the +4 LA from dryder as my extra thing: it would give me +4HD, +2BaB, +2 saves, 1 more epic feat, 1 bonus epic feat, +2 enhancement to ranged attacks.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=Jemal]I'd be interested to see what reduction you would give to the paragon template as a special power and if I give up most of my gold.

Also I have an almost completed insectile (savage species) feral tauric Human-Blink Dog, with a crazy number of attacks (about 28 at last count)

And my most recent idea was either going an Illithid Ultimate Grappler (aka brain sucker) or maybe even a Half Illithid Medusa.

I have to have lost of ideas, as so many of them are being shut down :p [/sblock]
 


I'm ready to RP. Still have a bunch of details to finish up on the crunch tho.

[sblock=Jemal]So with this version of the character I'm looking forward to playing out the effects of 'no time to think'. By any chance would the ability to make an opposed skill check against tumble checks to avoid my AoO's be an acceptable special ability?[/sblock]
 

[sblock=VR] - Nice idea. Did you have any specific skill in mind? Spot or Sense Motive would make the most sense to me, and I'll do the added bonus of throwing it in as a Class Skill if you don't allready have it.[/sblock]

[sblock=Shayuri] - yay! Two questions RE: The Dragon Ascendant.
Any relation to your OTHER Epic dragon?
Any relation to The Great Sea? ;) (You should recall him from the other Epic game.)[/sblock]

[sblock=LR] yikes, your concepts are way too familiar. OK, Time to take my shots:
Half-Illithid = NO. Normal Illithid would be accetpable, however.
What's Tauric?
For the Paragon reduction, that depends on HOW MUCH gold you're giving up, and how much you're keeping, and what you're spending it on.[/sblock]

[sblock=vertex]
Hmm.. OK, How's this : NO LA on Drider, and if you want to replace it's racial HD with class levels you can. And yes, I'll let you keep the "elven blood" to qualify as an elf for such things(This isn't a 'special power', that's just how I see Driders. They've still got elven blood).

[sblock=Jemal]Hmm 'no time to think' zeros out both spot and sense motive. Could that be an exception as part of the special. Of course, if the countering skill was jump that would be even better :] ;) [/sblock]

[sblock=vr]I don't see Jump as working in that regards, but yes to the first part. It's not taking time to think, it's quick reaction.
Hmm, maybe a dex-based skill would make more sense in that respect... [/sblock]
 

[sblock=Voidrazor]A little extra info you might have missed, you get the +12 con mod from your giant warcroc lycanthopy, but you only get the str/dex/con mods when in hybrid or animal form and you cant speak, and a -2 to hit and AC from being huge size. :)[/sblock]
