[QUOTE="Yair, post: 2455410, member: 10913"] Now, that's scary. It certainly overshadows my poor bard in raw power. Looks very cool, I'll go over him in more detail later. The only mechanical note I have at first glance is that I believe the Ioun stone provides an enhancement bonus and therefore doesn't stack with the +30 enhancement bonus. That, and doesn't he have too few epic feats? Are those all his 60 epic level plus his x class-gained level epic feats? I suggest we set up the following guidelines for PC gear and generation: [B]PC GENERATION GUIDELINES - Magic items worth up to 277,000,000 gp [/B][I don't see a need to limit to to 250 mill, what's the point?][B]. No artifacts. - Sources allowed are PH, DMG, Monster Manual, Epic Level Handbook, Deities and Demigods but no divine ranks [/B][all avaialable free online, in the SRD][B]. DMGII, MMII, MMIII, Faiths and Pantheons, Legends of Avandu, and Immortal's Handbook may also be used but assume the reader is unfamiliar with the source. - Any magic item in the ELH is allowed. Otherwise, follow the guidelines below. -- No single item should exceed 50 million gp in price. -- Ability increases capped at +50 enhancement [/B][roughly doubles ability at most][B]. No non-enhancement/inherent bonuses to Abilities. -- Skill increases capped at +100 competence [/B][roughly doubles skill at most][B]. No non-competence bonuses to Skills. -- No limit on weapon enhancement bonus, but a +50 weapon is boring. Be more creative. [/B][We get +60 to attack from BAB alone, I see no problem with +50 mechanically.][B] -- Epic SR costs Epic costs (x10), capped at 112 [/B][12+level][B]. - Use the Elite Array or 30 point buy to purchase initial Abilities. Character may be of any age. - Try to keep in mind changes to Intelligence, as they affect Skill points. [It's a bitch.] - One base class and up to one prestige or epic prestige class. - No "dipping" into classes to get cool abiltiies (a few Paladin or Monk levels, etc.) - No Leadership feats. You can deviate from the guidelines, but try to not do so by too much.[/B] Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
