Jun 17, 2009 7:02:20 Yeah a thread about this went up a few weeks ago, but it evades my Google-Fu. The wizard with Int 8 got some love, and there was an effort made to use feats to take away the few things that a Commoner can do.

It's surprisingly difficult to use feats and class features to actually take away a character's abilities.

Jun 17, 2009 11:26:10 Pun-Pun can be one of the weakest characters as well. Since Manipulate Form allows you to add or remove an ability, raise or lower an ability score, etc., he can remove all of his abilities, change his limbs into stumps, and reduce all of his ability scores to 1.

Man, you can't beat that kobold at anything.

Then he uses manipulate form to remove his manipulate form ability, right?

Psionic Sandwich gonna get any love?

Can't those still manifest? :P

Jun 17, 2009 21:48:18 Well, originally the psionic sandwich was a wizard with a psion cohort, but people started optimizing it so it could fly, see, hear, talk and manifest by making it a psion with a wizard cohort instead.

Then they made it into adamantine armour instead of a sandwich. It was an amusing thread.

I'm playing one right now in the hopes that the party will resurrect my old character.

EDIT: sorry, didn't realise this was a crazy super op'd build. Wow I got shown up.

I love the possibly making allies fail thing.
