Ya, I agree, it's not all that strong when compared to 8th level no-save spells being thrown about, but IF you can get your CHA save up high enough (like clockwork was afraid that I'd done with the Spelldancer), it can put a big hurt on someone IF you can engage them in melee (IF they're not too far away), IF they don't have protection around them, etc.Berk said:
Hmm.. lotta IF's.
I'm willing to bet that your character threw up more exceptions that clockwork had to moderate than all the characters combined. That suggests one of two things: 1) Clockwork has it out for you or 2) your character's intent simply didn't fit with his guidelines. Now before you start jumping on a certain option above, trying to insinuate again that clockwork and his mistery IRL friend are obviously in cahoots and only set this whole thing up to mess with you, consider how far you pushed it:
1) Your entire character was a smackdown exploit
Don't deny it. Sure smackdown characters are interesting to read and fun to discover, but they're the antithesis of fun when put in an actual game.
2) You continuously pulled materials from off-limit sources.
Here's a hint: put the OA book down. You got one PrC out of there, and kept pushing the issue and adding more and more stuff from it. Don't start pointing fingers at other exceptions, because at least those people knew when to draw the line.
And finally quit belly aching over the fact that you're not the most powerful player out there. Quit whining about how there's probably other players who are more powerful and "couldn't stand up to such rules attention", you simply don't know that. And the only way you're backing up this assumption is by suggesting that clockworkjoe has something personal against you. That's an awfully serious accusation, and if you honestly feel that way then my question to you is why are you even playing?

First Post
Actually, I think old definition Smackdown characters are kind of expected. 200 points of damage isn't exactly all that tough by level 15. Is a rogue that uses 2 weapon fighting, haste, and expert tactician really all that abusive? If a wizard throws 3 good attack spells, is that an exploit? Not really. It's only the ones that greatly exceed 300 and can be used all the time that worry me. Some of the psion Body fuel ones are amusing, because the character has crippled himself to do it.
BTW, I was wandering on what people think of using the metagame knowledge in this thread to influence combat actions. For example, I imagine many people could find a use for a Disentegrate spell, which is apparently in reapersaurus's Ioun Stone.
And I think my character might have done passably well against reaper's original monstrousity. It probably would have been incredibly boring for awhile, though.

Cut the insults, folks, as of right now. Reapersaurus, your comment to Blackshirt is completely inappropriate, and you know it. Please edit it out. Blackshirt, I edited out your entire post; one more like that, and you're looking at taking a vacation from the boards. You guys know perfectly well what's permissable here, and you should know enough to click on the "report a post to a moderator" button when someone gets insulting.
This erupts again, and the thread gets closed. Don't cause that to happen.
