[QUOTE="Dandu, post: 5486863, member: 85158"] My sincerest apologies for misunderstanding the spell. Fortunately there are many ways of boosting skill checks. Masochoism is a second level arcane spell in the BoVD that gives a +1 boost to attacks, saves, and skill checks for every 10 damage taken. There are several ways of becoming immune to death from damage, such as via Shapechange into something with regeneration (lethal damage becomes nonlethal) + Favor of the Martyr (immunity to nonlethal), and ways of taking large amounts of damage/infinite damage (teleport into the sun? Share Pain+ Glory of the Martyr infinite damage loop?) achieving a very high skill check isn't impossible. Assuming we play by the rules, of course. Really depends on what we're using. Single mirror would work better. If it's an array, a scope of some sort would be best for each individual mirror station. That method would entail the use of sentient minions, though. That's something of a cop out, isn't it? Also somewhat less valid, as mirrors, moons, and etc exist in DnD, whereas plutonium never has. I suppose you'd have told Dr. Evil to focus on building up the investments of Evil Industries instead of hatching an overly complicated and unnecessarily expensive way of holding the world hostage for a relatively small amount of money? Int 34... and Knowledge: (any) as class skills. [/QUOTE]
