[QUOTE="gfunk, post: 1620058, member: 1813"] As a tip to JollyDoc and Joachim, who will be attending GenCon this year, I suggest you go for the kobold cleric build (unless you want to go for Jeremy's obscene Hulking Hurler build ;)). First off it looks unassuming and weak, but this is what you can do: 1) Be Neutral so that you can have access to all the [I]blasphemy[/I] type spells. 2) Boost your caster level in every conceivable manner. For instance, take five levels of Heirophant, pick up an ioun stone, etc. (with the plethora of books you guys have, this should be no problem). 3) Pick up spell pen/greater spell pen type feats. 4) With a sufficienty high caster level (around 35-40) your [I]blasphemy[/I] type spells will be able to slay everything in a 30 foot radius without a saving throw. E.g. even 25th level characters. 5) The only downside is how to deal with constructs and undead. I'll leave that to you. 6) A max initiative build, while useful, is not as great as I originally thought because you have at least 1 round to pre-cast defensive spells. added: 7) Since your spells auto-replenish after every battle, only a moron would choose to play a non-spellcaster/manifester. We did not know points 6 and 7 last year, so I guess hindsight is 20-20. [/QUOTE]
