Message: <blockquote data-quote="Synicism" data-source="post: 496270" data-attributes="member: 489">Rogue Scroll SmackI had submitted this character for use in the Chicago Gameday's 10th level Free-for-All Brawl. Unfortunatelly, I got sick that weekend and couldn't make it.The idea was to make a 10th level character and duke it out with the other PC's. We had 49000 GP to spend. Last man standing won.Went with a halfling Rogue and put an 18 into Charisma. The rest of the stats were mostly meaningless. Took Improved Initiative, Quick Draw and Skill Focus: Use Magic Device. Main skill was Use Magic Device, Decipher Script for Synergy bonuses, etc. For my 10th level Rogue ability, selected Skill Mastery and put one of my picks in Use Magic Device, allowing me to take a 10 in the skill, even though UMD normally doesn't allow it. Spent some of my money on a Heward's Handy Haversack (Free Action to pull an item from the Haversack according to the FAQ) and a few random items like Boots of Speed. Everything else went into scrolls.My strategy was to rely on UMD (Skill Mastery and taking a 10 allowed me to automatically successfully cast 9th level scrolls with the DC 34 check) and the Heward's Haversack to chain together spells like Time Stop, and Horrid Wilting and pretty much wipe out everyone before anyone else had a chance to go. I had enough money to dish out over 100d8 damage to everyone in the encounter, so long as no one character was more than 60' from the rest, and the Time Stop spells ensured that I would never have to worry about another player getting a turn and killing me because I could just chain them together. And if all else failed, I had a Shapechange scroll so I could turn into the Tarrasque with his +35 natural AC and just eat people. Or maybe a Remhorraz so I could dish out 10d10 damage to people with Improved Grab.OK, so I admit that this was less of a tactic than an exercise in total, complete munchkinism. But that sounded like the point of a free-for-all slugfest anyway. <g>So, anyone who went to the Chicago gameday earlier this month remember what character won?</blockquote>
