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

[Shayuri]

[sblock=ooc]Wow. Well, I was gonna post my Warforged Dreadnought sheet. It's pretty fracking nasty, with DR 31/-, Fast Healing 9, more hit points than you can shake a stick at, and immune to practically everything. But a Great Wyrm? How can I pass that up? I'd be worried about power level too...but then I look at that dude with 100 Str, and my worry sort of...withers away. I'll post some sheets shortly. Oh...and I'm assuming that said Great Wyrm will, for whatever reason, lack it's normal casting abilities. Will it retain any spellcasting at all?[/sblock]

 

[Jemal]

[sblock=shayuri]Ah yes, forgot to address that. It's effective Sorc level will be caster level 9th. This is part of the reason I'm allowing it at Great Wyrm... IT looses a lot of punch.

Also, if you want, a Variant Silver from my campaign setting (Alseria, where my other Epic game is set) can choose Druid spells instead of Cleric spells (Which normal silvers/Golds can choose for their sorc spell slots). It's still only up to 4th lvl spells, but it's something a bit different.[/sblock]

 

[Voidrazor]

Jemal - would it be possible to take a subset of the voidmind template bonuses get it at +1 LA? If so, how does dropping the tentacle entirely, as well as the cone of slime, DR, 2 of the +4 Con, and the Alertness and Great Fortitude feats sound?

 

[Darimaus]

Ok, I don't have my books here, and I won't for another few days, but I can give you a rundown on what I'm using just to give you a basic idea.

Underfoot Fighting (I'm not sure if this is what its called exactly, but Its close enough to the real thing to find if you've got access to Races of the Wild)

This feat allows for a small or smaller creature to move into an opponent's space without invurring an attack of opportunity (since tiny and smaller creatures have a reach of 2.5 feat and have to attack from the same square)

Confound the Big Folk (Tactical Feat, also from Races of the Wild)

This feat does sevral things. First off, if I start a round in my opponent's square, he is considered flatfooted towards me. Second, while I'm in an opponent's square, I gain a +4 cover bonus to my AC, as well as a 50% chance that anyone other than the person whos square I'm occupyig attacks me, they hit the other person in the square instead. Thirdly, I can make a trip attack with my Dex or Strength, and my opponent loses size modifiers to his opposed check.

Prehensile Tail (Feat, Out of savage Species)

This feat makes a tail able to function as a third hand, allowing to use items, wield weapons, ect. It also qualifies a character for the multiweapon fighting feats.

Arms of the Naga (Item, out of Savage Species)

This item is essentially a worn pair of arms with humanlike hands attached allowing a creature to use items they normally could not in them, and carry additional gear. It does not allow for any "additional" attacks, but I'm pretty sure if weapons are put in them you can use your normal attacks through them (somebody please correct me if I am wrong)

Gloves of Man (Item, Out of Savage Species)

These gloves can be worn in order to give creatures lacking humanoid hands the ability to use gear they normally could not (such as making a tentacle capable of wielding a weapon)


I'll post the exact wording once I'm up and running again. Also, if you want a brief overvue of my character, its going to be 16 Rogue, 2 Fighter, 1 Monk, and 1 Scout, + 2 HD and 3 LA from Psuedodragon and + 15 LA from Paragon.

 

[Brother Allard]

Brother_A - No on the blindsight

Sorry to be so long in getting back to this - I was out of town and had much more limited internet access than I had anticipated.

In any case, you'd suggested in an earlier post that the acceptability of the blind-sighted ability would depend on its cost. If 30k is too low, would a higher pricetag make the item acceptable?

brother_a - The amulet costs 3X what a normal magic weapon would cost, so it would be same at Epic (AN EPIC +10 would thus cost 3 Million gp, etc.)

A normal +10 weapon would be 2mil. So a +10 amulet of mighty fists would be 6mil, not 3. Right? Or am I confused?

[Solarious]

Uugghhh. Number crunching at this level can be such a nightmare, to speak nothing of actual optimization. Perhaps one of the reasons I'm going with Paragon. If I can't do Paragon, I'll steal a fallen character concept and become a Shifter... probably a Ascetic, working off the material you have already posted in your previous game's OoC, Jemal.

Any word on Void Incarnate yet? If not permitted, I might pick up Fighter and combine with Daring Warrior for some extra feats. Or something. I'm also dipping into Ninja for Wis-to-AC.

Which reminds me I won't have anything up until the weekend. I need to actually go out and pick up the books.

PS. What books are we talking about when it comes to Shapes for a Wildshaper?

 

[Jemal]

Voidrazor - I don't know, what EXACTLY Are you wanting? Just type up a template and I'll approve/dissaprove it.

Darimaus - Hmm, last time I heard about that character, it was a Halfling with permanent Reduce Person..
All the stuff you listed is OK, but I won't allow Arms of the Naga to let you make weapon attacks via multiweapon fighting, if that's what you're planning.
An Item (Regardless of cost) that gives you an extra TWO sets of full attacks @ Epic seems wrong to me.

Solarious - I'm gonna say no to the Void Incarnate this time through. Last time I had one, they were a bit of a pain.
As for allowed books for shapes, if it's not in the Core, ask, b/c the only creatures your character is assumed to know about (regardless of Level) are the 'basic' core beasts. And just having a high Knowledge check doesn't mean you don't have to ask for others, b/c some of them may not EXIST in this universe. (Like, for instance, ANYTHING out of Serpent Kingdom)

And btw, there's actually a few of us who enjoy Epic level number crunching/Optimization. I find it to be almost as fun as the gaming itself.

Brother_Allard - Yeah, I forgot to X2 for weapon cost as opposed to armour/stat stuff.
And the problem is that for Blind SIGHT, at this level it's either going to be a drop in the bucket or stupidly expensive, I can't think of a good cost for it... Gimme a day or two to ponder.


*Speaking of Pondering - Have I missed any other questions or told people I'd "get back to them" over the last week or 2, that I may have forgotten?

 

[Rino]

Rino - Looks good so far. I'll go over numbers later, for now I just have one question - Guardinals can attack with their wings?

The avoral guardinal has two different
types of natural attacks. On the ground, it has
two primary wing attacks, each dealing 1d8 points of
damage. In the air, it has two primary claw attacks,
each dealing 1d6 points of damage. It can’t make
claw and wing attacks in the same round.

so yes
