[QUOTE="Cartigan Mrryl, post: 2990218, member: 36650"] I haven't played as a VoP anything yet... I HAVE however, faced one in an ECL 20 challenge... for those of you who don't know what that is, it's an ECL 20 PvP contest. I made a Gravetouched, Spellstiched Human Ghoul Monk11/Lurking Terror 3. Our DM made an All-Vows Monk, named him "Broken" and with reason... he was ghastly to face. If I remember correctly, I nearly won because I ended up using "Obscuring Mist" and hiding in plain sight, cracking him over the head, then laying in on him with violated, quicken spell-like abils. Oooh! For those of you who play a Spell-stiched Gravetouched Ghoul... you cast spells as an (HD-equivalent) Sorceror, meaning that you cast spells as a 20th level Sorceror(the end result HD of your charrie), with more limited spell selection. Choose Night's Caress as one of his 5th level spells and the Empower and violated Spell-like abilities feats... if you use both of those, at once, he can take 15d6(x1.5) damage (half of which is Vile, Vile=Unhealable) AND, if he fails a Fort save, he takes 1d6+2(x1.5) Con Damage... again, half of which is vile. Take the Vile Ki Strike, and he takes 1 point of vile damage with each strike... meaning you slowly wittle away his max HP until healing does NOTHING, because it take 24 hours to cast hallow... and you have to cast cure or restoration whilst in a hallowed area to heal the damage. Seriously: How many 20th level spell casters can deal with 12 points of Con damage and STILL be fine... and by fine I mean fighting-able... even for another spell, let alone my 2d8+18+1vile damage punch.... :P He ended up winning because of a SERIOUSLY lucky critical... buuut, I got his Max HP sooo low that the next guy crushed him like an egg. It was sweet. He's STILL mad... more made than when i killed his Walking Worm in one round... (Note to ALL DMs: NEVER swallow an Epic Dread Necromancer... he'll kill nearly anything you send at him with level drain. :D) Edit: I didn't know about the Anti-Magic field taking away Exalted feats... I gotta use that in our Rematch... GOOD BYE BROKEN! [/QUOTE]
