Any Incarnum guides? [Archive] - Wizards Community

11-29-06, 12:57 AM I just got into learning this system, and I like what's been done with it. However, it'd be nice to read a guide by an optimizer that goes over stuff that I have invariably missed (especially since there seems very little for those of us who are drawn to lawful incarnates rather than necrocarnum users).

(I don't suppose there's any support for Incarnum outside of the main book, is there?)

If there isn't one, could anyone give me a few tips on playing an incarnate? Thanks.

11-29-06, 01:00 AM Amen. I've been trying to search for this. It seems like there's a lot of potential in Magic of Incarnum - who's done something with this? Anyone?

11-29-06, 01:03 AM Well, Todd did an Incarnate Guide (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=574633), and I've found that he's almost always worth listening to.

Todd's Incarnate by the Numbers
rilem's Samurai Guide - uses a lot of Incarnum-related material
gerdreg's Soulborn Guide
Draconic Soulmelds (http://boards1.wizards.com/leaving.php?destination=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp%3Fx%3Ddnd/ex/20060912a%26page%3D4) from Dragon Magic
T_G's Incarnum Tricks/Combos/Builds

The hardest part was naming the links for your ease of use.

Surreal's Handy Links (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=482636) - don't be so helpless.

EDIT:
A few interesting phenomena are at work in this thread, I notice.
1) JanusJones and Xylem are relatively new posters to our community - welcome both.
2) Xylem found Todd's Incarnate guide.
3) JanusJones did not find the guide (although from my personal observations, this is like his first post at the CO boards, so his "transgression" is almost not "worthy" of "punishment".)
4) FeceMan, an identifiable regular CO forum poster, did not find the Incarnate guide.

:rofl:
Don't you get tired of posting the same link over and over? I guess the fun comes in making up witty comments to go with it.

LoL ... I found that funny ... probably because I'm the only person I know who actually says that.

11-29-06, 01:17 AM PhoenixInferno beat me to it.

For me, though, the hardest part is pacing myself so I don't run out of various Jesii to invoke (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Jesus) before we run out of blind "where do I find" posts to invoke them in.
GaffeR
11-29-06, 01:20 AM ...that's a lot of Jesii.
Edea
11-29-06, 01:25 AM Jesus invocations, now any class can use them.

11-29-06, 01:28 AM *looks embarrassed that he hasn't figured out the search function yet*

Thanks for the . . . erm . . . much-deserved welcome, replete with it's heaping helping of shame. I accept my portion, and crawl off to check the guides.

THANKS :D

11-29-06, 01:30 AM There is no search function. Only pansy-ass forums use search functions.

God I miss the search function.

Just bookmark "Surreal's Handy Links.." thread. It's got a whole lot of whatever you need in there. If that fails, there's always google.
-(note, instructions for searching google located in Handy Links thread)

It's almost difficult writing without punctuation -- yet strangely gratifying. I'm beginning to see why some people do it. By the way, do we have a dark elf guide?

I'd have to recommend Tleilaxu_Ghola's guide. Its pretty great. :D

11-29-06, 08:29 AM I guess the mind bondage spell does work--just cast it and someone has to post links.

(By the way, no mouse = hard enough time getting here, much less searching. So thanks for the help.)

Suck up. :nonono:

I'm seriously starting to think that we need a couple stickies that look like:
"IF YOU ARE NEW, READ THIS FIRST SO YOU DON'T GET FLAMED."
"IF YOU NEED HELP, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK."
JanusJones
11-29-06, 12:44 PM Well, given that there IS NO SEARCH FUNCTION, I think there might be something to that . . .

Errr...that's only a suck up if 'a Rolls is a great car' is a suck up. Facts is facts, and T_G makes some killer observations in alla his guides. Damn. I think he must get paid fer it, or sumpin'. :cool:

Most likely Complete Scoundrel. Right now he seems in the mood for finding new tricks instead of making guidebooks since most classes and books have been covered already. But we really need to find a few more tricks for his Complete Mage guide though.
