Neo_Leviathan 06-23-05, 04:20 AM	Ok, I'm going to be playing in a one-off game known as "Assault on the DMs Tower". Basically, there is a series of portals, each leading ot an encounter, there will be 5 encounters in all. The challenge is for a group of 4 ECL/LVL 15 PCs to take out as many of the encounters as possible, one after the other. We will have as long as we need between encounters to rest and recover, but we have to use our own resources. It is very likely that we will have to fight in hostile conditions, eg, underwater, elemental plane of fire, etc. However, we will be informed if we are going into an innately hostile environment. All creatures must be KILLED, diplomacy will NOT WORK, charm spells are only useful if you can get one creature to attack another, or to kill itself. The rest of the party will be a Cleric, a Mage and a Fighter, I'm looking at creating a Rogue of some kind. The first encounter will be against three Cornugons, on Baator. The third encounter will be against two dragons (a half-fiend and a half-celestial, using Holy Word and Blasphemy). The CRs will be 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. There will be no leveling. Note that there is no differing interpretations allowed, everything must be strictly legal. Allowed resources are: a.. Players Handbook b.. Dungeon Masters Guide c.. Monster Manual d.. Complete Warrior e.. Complete Divine f.. Complete Arcane g.. Complete Adventurer h.. Miniatures Handbook i.. Races of Stone j.. Races of Destiny k.. Races of the Wild l.. Libris Mortis m.. Lords of Madness n.. Heroes of Battle o.. Frostburn p.. Sandstorm q.. Expanded Psionics Handbook Only Races from the following sources are permitted: PHB, Races of Stone, Races of the Wild, Races of Destiny and the Expanded Psionics Handbook. Monster Manual creatures are permitted if they have an "as Characters" section to their description (e.g. Goblin). No templates are allowed, unless granted by a class feature (for example, Dragon Disciple). 32 Point Buy 200,000gp worth of equipment, however consumables cost x5 price (or are bought with 20% of normal charges). Restricted List: Items: Cursed Items Artifacts Intelligent Items Drugs Non-standard items (E.g. No Belts of Dexterity +6, No Rings of Spellcraft +10, etc) Luck Blade 9 Lives Stealer Rod of Absorption Rod of Rulership Bracelet of Friends Brooch of Shielding Daern's Instant Fortress Deck of Illusions Golem Manual Horn of Valhalla Ioun Stones (Pale Lavender ellipsoid & Lavender and Green ellipsoid) Mirror of Life Trapping Orb of Storms Robe of Useful Items Well of Many worlds Contract of Nepthas Thought Bottle Animal Training Kit Skull Talisman Prestige Classes Any classes that use experience points to power abilities, or require or emulate the Leadership feat, which includes the following: Kensai Legendary Leader Thrallherd Feats Craft Contingent Spell Undead Leadership Craft Skull Talisman All Leader Feats Courageous Rally Natural Leader For all intents and purposes, the 'multiverse' does not exist (except for things like Planar Binding etc), ie, no NPC, no followers etc etc. Anyways, those are the rules, does anyone have any ideas for me? I need a horrendously broken character but the best I've thought of so far is a Rogue/Assasin/Shadowdancer/Invisible Blade
PhaedrusXY 06-23-05, 04:49 AM	I'd suggest a rogue/druid/daggerspell shaper with maybe a Warshaper level or two. I can't put together a build for you, as I don't own CAdv.
Neo_Leviathan 06-23-05, 07:12 AM	Unless I'm missing something, that build seems Ok, but not *Broken* which is what I'll need to survive
Musrum 06-23-05, 07:25 AM	The way the mini campaign is setup with a full rest period between encounters, you should probably take a spellcaster.
Funny Slaughter 06-23-05, 08:02 AM	try to get an r) to the list and unapproachable east added :D other then this i would not suggest a rogue character for a contest like this. you should try a power-build like the sado/masochist maybe. gs Funny
