1. The Footsteps of the Divine Spell from Complete Champion grants a fly speed, a burrow speed or a bonus to land speed based on the deity chosen.
2. Footsteps of the Divine is an eligible target for Persistent Spell, since it has a range of Personal and is not a dischargeable spell by the D&D definition of the word.
Out of the 52 spells in Complete Champion, 18 spells have a duration of “X or until discharged” and Footsteps is not one of them. Footstep’s activated ability does not end its duration as with a discharged spell; it merely is shortened to one round.
3. The special ability of Footsteps of the Divine allows you to shorten the duration of the spell to 1 round in order to gain a bonus to the speed granted equal to +10 ft/ rounds remaining in the spell.
Thus with a 24 hour (or higher) duration, we can see some truly incredible speeds.

That said, this might migrate over to the Theo. Boards
Also, reserved this post.
That's just pure awesomeness.
If I missed this somewhere, ignore me, but for UMD, you automatically fail on a roll of 1, so Chuck isn't guaranteed to cast Favor of the Martyr.
If you roll a 1 on a check and fail, you can no longer use the item for the day.
That's the only time a natural 1 matters in UMD. Chuck can roll a nat 1 and succeed.
But travel Devotion is once a day is it not?
More importantly, only a single move. For the Big Round, Travel Devotion isn't so good. But for out of combat movement(he still moves 80 ft for four days at a time), Travel Devotion can be a good thing.
Hmmm, just a thought, i didn't fully read, and since I'm the one play testing your original build i thought i should, but i don't understand some of the things in there. But... you don,t have quicksilver motion, what allows you to transfer turn attempts into running attempts?
Unfortunately, a single move is 1/5 what a Run is. So when going for big numbers, we need the Staff of Greater Celerity for the full-round actions.
Travel Devotion and Quicksilver Motion make for nice tactics when you don't want to burn scrolls, although you'll be doing only 1/5 the damage(if that matters to you).
Also, you can still abuse Ring of Fire without the Cheesestaff.

You're right. Apparently I can't read; I totally missed the word and. Very nice build then. He's more authentic, more pure too.
you deserve it sir
I prefer original naked chuck over chuck E. Cheese
He's more authentic, more pure too.
I don't understand?
I believe he could still get a few more free extra turnings, such as from selling his soul or stuff like that, but after you surpass speed of light and can destroy whole countries in a single round, that's nor really an issue.
Congratulations, skydragonknight, Chuck is simply awesome.
Or, I could be totally off-base, since I don't have the MIC in front of me and maybe there's some rule in there that makes it work like you specified.
just a quick question. Where is the rule saying 100 charges = infinite?
Here, under Table: Estimating Magic Item Gold Piece Values.
If item is continuous or unlimited, not charged, determine cost as if it had 100 charges. If it has some daily limit, determine as if it had 50 charges.
EDIT: I believe the 100 charges = infinite rule only applies for calculations regarding material costs and XP costs for spells in an item, as those are the only categories with the applicable notation. A staff of infinite Greater Celerity, I believe, would fall under the standard Spell Level x Caster Level x 1800 or 2000, depending on activation, which would come out to 216,000 or 240,000. Although, you could make an unlimited use item of Greater Celerity with an alignment and/or class restriction to cut the cost by 30%, which would actually make it cheaper than the 180,000 you calculated.
Or, I could be totally off-base, since I don't have the MIC in front of me and maybe there's some rule in there that makes it work like you specified.
Here, under Table: Estimating Magic Item Gold Piece Values.
Actually I think I was working with the Spell-trigger column, since a 50 charged Staff of Greater Celerity costs 90,000.
And Then: "If item is continuous or unlimited, not charged, determine cost as if it had 100 charges. If it has some daily limit, determine as if it had 50 charges"
So the Staff only costs 180,000 gold. The only reason why it's cheaper than command word or use-activated is because spell-trigger limits who can use it.
Cutting cost by 30% would make it only 126,000, meaning he could uberfy it by doing something silly like adding a secondary spell like Favor of the Martyr for 70%(restriction) x 75%(secondary) x 750 x 4 x 7 x 2(100 charges) = +22,050.
So a Staff of Arcane Nova with an alignment restriction would only cost 148,050. Nice.
@True_Shinken: Chuck plans on keeping his soul. It may not be in the RAW, but I think Wee Jas would be pretty ****** if he sold his soul to anyone but her, since he's promoting her church while he's creating infernos out of small countries.
Lightning Leap from SpC or was it CM?
It's from Complete Mage.
Also, very well done. This is quite impressive. I imagine there will soon be many Jasite converts. "Back off, orc, or your entire country goes up in flames!"
Into the siggy it goes. :D
EDIT: 5 minutes of GIMP yielded this; I'm sure someone can do a better fire-writing than I did?
Alastar. His CO Diary inspired me to re-tool Chuck up to his full potential.
Awwww chucks, now I'm blushing.....
But yeah, while this build is incredible (next time I'm around the table, diet chuck will tell them a relative of his broke the speed of light) i rather prefer the simple elegance of the class/class/prestige class basic chuck.
Don't mistake me, Chuck. E. Cheese is made out of pure condensed particles of awesome. It's just a personal preference.

If this version were adapted for a tabletop game entering epic level, I'd personally swap out half the Extra Turning from the legacies for every decent feat in the game I qualified for...and then swap them for every decent Epic feat I qualified for at 21st level.

Hey... what about a dragonwrought kobold with that dweomerkeeper cohort and a few legacy weapons, uh? Yikes.
I like the idea. Start a new thread for that.
And Remember: If you break it, they will come.
1/day triple the duration of a Transmutation spell.
Footsteps being a Transmutation spell...
Rainbow Falls (CM p152) [2000gp]
1/day triple the duration of a Transmutation spell.
Footsteps being a Transmutation spell...
Yeah I found that as part of my research and nearly cried...can't extend the duration beyond 24 hours, useless with Persistent spell.
Awesome for druids with Shapechange though.
Activation: Staffs use the spell trigger activation method, so casting a spell from a staff is usually a standard action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. (If the spell being cast, however, has a longer casting time than 1 standard action, it takes that long to cast the spell from a staff.) To activate a staff, a character must hold it forth in at least one hand (or whatever passes for a hand, for nonhumanoid creatures).
CHANGED IN THE BLOODY RULE COMPENDIUM. I SWEAR, how many times do I have to tell people this?
I don't mean to burst bubbles, but this just seems so much simpler (it can be done by level 5 or so easily).
It doesn't accomplish the same thing from the practical standpoint of incinerating places, but as far as the title of the thread is concerned, it's much simpler.

Free actions actually have a limit on them that says you can only do as many as the DM finds reasonable... or was that just words spoken?
Anyway, you can't kip up a lot and write your name in fire across the united states, so it's worthless.

I acknowledged that it doesn't have the same practical application. I was merely pointing out it's much simpler if all you want is to break the speed of light. I think the reasonable bit was with reference to speaking as a free action.

Actually the simplest way I know of is to get a long enough line of commoners with readied actions to "pass the bucket".
S'ry ab't the Magical Location, I forgot the 24h limit. You could probably find optional components that have X% chance to extend a transmutation spell...
Full Run
1104 x greater celerity(run speed = 5,760,700 ft) = 6,359,812,800 ft = 1,223,040.92 miles.
The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,902 mi, so Chuck moves 49.1 times around the Earth.
Average Speed (feet per second)
6,354,052,100 ft / 6 sec = 1,059,008,683 ft/sec
The speed of light is 299,792,428 m/sec or 983,571,056 feet per second.
So Chuck moves faster than the speed of light!
It's too bad he gains infinite mass when moving at the speed of light. This means that everything in the universe has an infinite gravitational pull towards him, which causes all of time, space, and matter to reform into a quantum singularity.
(Rolls for critical science damage.)
Now we're really talking deep stuff when counting relativistic effects (since you while running, out of a stationary person's perspective, will travel backwards in time at an infinite speed, have an infinitely negative length in the direction of your movement (which grants you an infinitely negative area/volume), and so on).
Idk if I'm a year behind everyone else, but wouldn't infinite speed be pretty easy to set up using an infinite Con score trick (with Shambling Mound) combined with the Rokugani Ninja's Shadow Run ability at level 8?
It's cool to learn a new way to perform an infinite, but these boards already have many infinite loops. Chuck E. Cheese is an exercise in 'the-highest-number-possible-without-using-an-infinite-loop' like the Nasty Gentlemen (Campaign Smasher).
Also, Blade Dancer1 (Oriental Adventures 37-38) DOUBLES your move speed while Blade Dancer10 TRIPLES it! Hard to go wrong with that!
Additionally:
Where can I find the regular, diet chuck at?
What is the trick that chuck uses to swap out feats? (As in what abilities does he use.)
Thanks a million.

The original thread is linked at the top of the first post, although if I recall correctly the Shun/Embrace feat shuffle was old news by the time we made Chuck, so you need a link to another thread for the feat swapping.
You can run for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution score, but after that you must make a DC 10 Constitution check to continue running. You must check again each round in which you continue to run, and the DC of this check increases by 1 for each check you have made. When you fail this check, you must stop running. A character who has run to his limit must rest for 1 minute (10 rounds) before running again. During a rest period, a character can move no faster than a normal move action.
No, he's running for over 1000 full-round actions compressed into one round.
Exactly. Compressed or not, he recognizes the 1000 round of running. Everyone else notices only a single round. What is to stop him from fatiguing and stopping running?

Round and action are different (even full-round actions, confusing as the name is). In this case, he takes thousands of actions that all occur within one round. So he never runs for more than 1 round, even though he's taken multiple full-round actions. A full-round action is composed of a standard + move; it does not actually take 1 full round to complete, hence the difference between a full-round action spell and a 1 round spell.
Just a friendly 
to save.
ok first off a appluad you on breaking not just sound but light as well. I went through and looked at the classes as understand what you took though i still dont see the reason behind staying in Suel for so long.. You had the Arcane requirements at the first level. But how are you getting so many tunr undeads? 1,111 is alot to come and i may have just missed where they came in at.
now can you do it... sure, SHOULD you do it....
