Masters of the Arcane

Also, I'd just like to say that I'm really looking forward to this, the characters all seem well thought out and what I've seen so far has been amusing.

 

[Dire Lemming]

As to Walking Dad bringing people, its not like he's got them anymore... Seems fair enough as a simple style issue

Well if you wanna go into that far, yes he actually would still have them because all magic effects are reversed in this place after 24 hours. So not only could he not technically have brought them in the first place but if he had they'd be alive again in twenty-four hours as if they had been true-resurrected.

Shayuri: You guys can have any focus/material components you want, as long as they are non-magical. The only gear stipulation is that you have to be able to carry all that you own.

I don't think that people or undead are gear. The undead are more a class feature
About still having them through the game:
The spelleffect was polymorph, but they died from a supernatural breath effect...
First possible loophole?

 

[Dire Lemming]

They're either slaves, which count as property and thus, gear. Or followers, and you can't have the Leadership feat so you can't have followers.

And actually, they were killed by whatever spell you killed them with before you reanimated them. The breath weapon just destroyed their reanimated corpses.

You think my character is well thought out? Hah! HAhaha! Seriously though, I just thought of a class that I liked and wanted to try playing at a high level. I don't even have a real background for him.

Technically, he could CREATE followers (temporarily). Polymorph Any object (Yeah, I'm obssessed with that spell) : Pebble into human. Duration: 20 minutes. (Long enough for a 'demonstration of power')

If you wanted them to last longer, you'd have to first create life-sized dolls of humans. (Same size, Related, duration = 3 hrs)
OR, mutliple applications of the spell. Get ahold of a mammal. Polymorph it into a larger Mammal (same kingdom, same class, same int=permanent). THEN, polymorph that larger animal into a human (Same kingdom, same class, same size=permanent). Sure it can be dispelled, but..

And the real question here is : What does ALBEDO think of whether or not you can bring people with you (And how did you obtain them in the first place).

 

[Dire Lemming]

Speaking of Albedo, I wonder where they got the idea for their name. The two possible sources I can think of in order of likelihood are Xenosaga and alchemy.

I think I must simply have a newer PHB, check the SRD for the errata...

Shapechange
Transmutation
Level: Animal 9, Drd 9, Sor/Wiz 9
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 10 min./level (D)

This spell functions like polymorph, except that it enables you to assume the form of any single nonunique creature (of any type) from Fine to Colossal size. The assumed form cannot have more than your caster level in Hit Dice (to a maximum of 25 HD). Unlike polymorph, this spell allows incorporeal or gaseous forms to be assumed.

You gain all extraordinary and supernatural abilities (both attacks and qualities) of the assumed form, but you lose your own supernatural abilities. You also gain the type of the new form in place of your own. The new form does not disorient you. Parts of your body or pieces of equipment that are separated from you do not revert to their original forms.

You can become just about anything you are familiar with. You can change form once each round as a free action. The change takes place either immediately before your regular action or immediately after it, but not during the action. If you use this spell to create a disguise, you get a +10 bonus on your Disguise check.

Focus
A jade circlet worth no less than 1,500 gp, which you must place on your head when casting the spell. (The focus melds into your new form when you change shape.)

 

[Jemal]

ah, I see. I'm a RAW guy, and usually stay away from the SRD.

 

[Halford]

Me to generally, tough I think the Polymorph line warrants an excepion. I would not have brought it up had it not been I my PHB, which is only about 6 months old - my first having started to fall apart.

 

[Walking Dad]

They're either slaves, which count as property and thus, gear. Or followers, and you can't have the Leadership feat so you can't have followers.

And actually, they were killed by whatever spell you killed them with before you reanimated them. The breath weapon just destroyed their reanimated corpses...

Even more confusion.

- If I kill something with a spell and chop it down afterwards with a sword, will both actions be undone?

- If I kill someone with a sword and resurrect him with a spell later will he die later, because the spell ends?

- Can you conjure a sword and kill someone permanently with it?

- What if someone changes into a dragon and ripps someone apart?

And if he automatically resurrects, can I cast bullstrength on a fighter and he is unable to kill me (because assisted with magic)?
