#29 sinfire_titan Apr 12, 2008 14:55:26	You know, this is a very effective way to figure out how people play the game. Is that what you were going for?
#30 davethemagicweasel Apr 12, 2008 14:58:24	And the next challenge - can you fit it all into the one build? For mine, I'm thinking some sort of Silverbrow Human Paladin of Freedom 4 / Crusader 1 / Chameleon. Then maybe use RKV to progress the Divine Focus and using Battle Blessing on the Paladin spells from that (shaky I know). If I can just qualify for War Weaver as well and then advance Arcane Focus with that then I'll almost be there. Not got spontaneous casting tho.
#31 arcane-surge Apr 12, 2008 15:08:12	You can't advance Chameleon foci with PrC's, can you? I didn't think you could.
#32 pfooti Apr 12, 2008 15:14:21	And the next challenge - can you fit it all into the one build? Not me. My favorites are more cherry-picked, and wouldn't mesh well. There's clearly some theme, though: a Goliath crusader with a Greataxe hitting people with Knockback. But then there's the wizard who casts glitterdust on the bad guys he knows has a bad will save (through Knowledge, my favorite skill).
#33 ikeren Apr 12, 2008 15:51:28	* Attribute: Constitution * Race: Human * Class: Cleric * Class Feature: Turn Undead * Skill: Spellcraft * Feat: Divine Metamagic: Persist Spell * Prestige Class: Fochlucan Lyracist or Arcane Duelist * Weapon: Greatsword * Spell***: Definitely Divine Power.
#34 davethemagicweasel Apr 12, 2008 16:21:07	You can't advance Chameleon foci with PrC's, can you? I didn't think you could. You can. You just can't use it to qualify for the PrC, so you have to bait and switch. Not me. My favorites are more cherry-picked, and wouldn't mesh well. There's clearly some theme, though: a Goliath crusader with a Greataxe hitting people with Knockback. But then there's the wizard who casts glitterdust on the bad guys he knows has a bad will save (through Knowledge, my favorite skill). Oh I know, some are far more spread out than others. Just thought it might produce some interesting builds, albeit not the most optimal. E.g. You could do a Goliath Knockback Gish with a prediliction for Glitterdust. Crusader base heading for JPM, dip Mindbender, and with the Divine Minion Template for Wild Shape. True, it's "not that uber", but I think it could make for a workable build.
#35 Senevri Apr 12, 2008 16:30:48	You know, this is a very effective way to figure out how people play the game. Is that what you were going for? ...I'm the DM. ;_; I don't get to play. Haven't played DnD in ... five years or so.
#36 tshern Apr 12, 2008 16:42:03	...I'm the DM. ;_; I don't get to play. Haven't played DnD in ... five years or so. I thought my 3.5 month break from D&D was a lot. I've had one session (counting in all online/RL sessions, but no PbPs) during the last 3.5 months and that was yesterday.
#37 CubeKnight Apr 12, 2008 16:50:37	Favorite: Attribute: Wisdom Race: Goliath Class: Druid Class Feature: Wild Shape Skill: Spot. Listen and Knowledge are close seconds. Feat: Natural Spell Prestige Class: Master of Many Forms Weapon: Natural Attacks (Claws mainly) Spell: Summon Nature's Ally Maneuver: Iron Heart Surge Template: Spellwarped Edit: For mixing them all, a Spellwarped Goliath Druid would be amazingly subpar. I guess if he's just a Goliath Druid/MoMF with Powerful Wild Shape he wouldn't be that bad off.

Arcane trickster perhaps Weapon: glaive Spell: alter self Pretty much some of the most potent options from the PHB; pretty much fits into one character without too much stretching (ok, drop arcane trickster).

#43 bozwevial Apr 12, 2008 18:35:32	So after a certain period of time, do we collect the responses and post the most popular in each category? EDIT: God, mine would be awkward to pull off! A high INT changeling warblade/wizard/JPM/dervish with ranks in Tumble, a Persisted Wraithstrike, and for some reason, a boomerang, who then blows up in green fire. But that would be awesome.
#44 Dictum_Mortuum Apr 12, 2008 18:42:47	Yeah, we can have statistics of what the community regards as optimization favorites. And then make a build based on that information.

I love versatility and skills give it to me, so no wonder i like intelligence. Race: Kobold. Just because they make great candidates for any class, even psions. Fighters with all the natural attacks, rogues with the small size and slight build feature, sorcerers with all the cheese and so on. And they're cool, so i'd play them even if they weren't so broken. Class: Base class? Well, let me see. Erudite. Just 'cause. Class Feature: Gah, there are so friggin' many it's unfun. Gotta be Illithid Savant's Acquire Class ability then. :P Skill: I like a lot of these, too many. Feat: Shape Soulmeld - This feat does it all, boost initiative, give more damage to spells and so on. Prestige Class: I have this unknown knack for Uncanny Trickster, it's just so much fun to continue class abilities of say, hellfire warlock. Then there's legacy champion, but it's not as cool.. Weapon: Gusari-Kama is nice, i quess. I don't really use weapons much, when i do it's usually greatsword though. Spell: Contingency. I just happen to like the insurance. Power: Temporal Acceleration - Gah, it's time stop at 6th level and you know exactly how many turns you are getting? WIN! Vestige: I really like some of the new epic stuff, gotta see what forms a favourite though. Invocation: There is that suggestion that makes people think it was their idea. Just made out of so much WIN i can't describe it. Soulmeld: Blink Shirt, especially on rogues. Nice to be able to get sneaking in through doors etc. Template: Dragonborn of Bahamut, due to having no LA is great. There are few others, Fire-Souled from some Dragon Magazine is lovely.

#113 delusionalsyko Jul 21, 2009 16:25:13	Attribute: Dex/Int (I like crafty, clever, sneaky characters.) Race: Gray Elf (They get dex and int. They're also egotistical jerks, even moreso than most elves. Me likey.) Class: Rogue/ninja/beguiler/warlock. (Did I mention I like crafty, clever, sneaky characters?) Class Feature: Evasion/Uncanny Dodge (They have my eternal gratitude and appreciation.) Skill: Bluff/Hide (Do you see a pattern forming here?) Feat: Skill Focus Prestige Class: I don't prestige very often, but eldritch theurge is probably my favorite. Weapon: Grapple (Doesn't really belong, does it? But occasionally I like to play a wrestler and crush things.) Spell: Charm Person (sometimes Monster, but really, it's just nice to have friends. Easily manipulable friends.) My favorite characters are sneaky uber-stealth ninja archetypes or subtle manipulative a-holes. And despite both of those characters generally being at least incredibly selfish, power-hungry, and usually evil-aligned (though not open about it), I try not to stab the party in the back. It's a game, and it's for fun - it's no fun if one guy is the stereotypical traitor-for-no-reason PC who always jumps at the chance to slit the other's throats or take advantage of them or blah blah blah. I keep it reasonable and try not to make the game unpleasant for anyone - playing an evil character is a privilege, not a right. Also, here's something else I like. Attribute: Charisma Race: Human Class: Dread Necromancer Class Feature: Undead Mastery Skill: Whatever. Knowledge Arcana, probably. Feat: Corpsecrafter and the subsequent chain. Prestige Class: No thanks. Weapon: Army of Undead Spell: Animate Dead I've never played it, and I probably never will, but did you ever just stop and think about the things you could do with an army of undead? I mean really, really think. Zombies and skeletons don't tire. They don't need food. They don't suffer from any uncomfortable climates. You can control 4 + cha HD per level at level 8, so you're looking at probably 80 hd of undead. 40 human zombies, 80 human skeletons. Zombies are stronger, but you'd have more skeletons and they're more nimble. It doesn't sound like a whole lot, but the average human commoner works probably 8 hours a day, these will work all day, so you have effectively triple the work force. You might as well have 120-240 human commoners. They're limited to very simple tasks, but for example, how hard is it to chop down a tree and push it into the river? And there's no expenses except a body and a lousy gem, and even that should be a rare expense. It's all profit! Yes, yes, I realize there are easier ways to make profit. For example, buying and dismantling ladders if I remember correctly. But this one is realistic, not a number game. Also, fun and evil! But again, playing a necromancer entrepreneur is not fun, and not really a good character choice for a serious campaign.
