Is he literally a "jolly old elf" a la Night Before Christmas, or a fey sorcerer with a legion of gnome magewrights via leadership? Any ideas will be helpful, and I mean anything, as this is mostly a fun/humor project. Thanks in advance.

If he's a Shadowcraft Mage, he could cast Genesis a bunch of times with no cost and that way get plenty of free materials, which he could then use Fabricate on to make toys. Then he could spam Gate spells to deliver the toys. With fast enough Flowing Time, it could absolutely work. JaronK

Time Regression + that epic rod which negates some XP cost? If you twin TR, you can even go back _two_ rounds... A souped-up bag of holding...
#6 blackbladejimmy Dec 09, 2008 13:54:51	This all looks fantastic, but the adventure is at level 9, so the full level 20 builds are out of his reach right now. I was advising artificer or maybe warlock with a fluff change. Any advice? @ _V_ That is hilarious, and would work well, except the player hates druids, so no dice Thanks again
#7 vglcat Dec 09, 2008 15:51:36	well then i suppose with some luck he could bye some reindeer on the black market, there magic or he casts fly on them every day..... WAIT I HAVE IT!!!! the reindeer are npc with very high cleric levels they take the fly domain and dmm persit it!!!:D

How about build a version of Santa in "The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special" of DC Comics??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Weapon Focus (machete) ?????
#9 ninjarabbit Dec 09, 2008 17:56:50	Or better yet how about the Bill Goldberg verion of Santa from the hit movie Santa's Slay .... and yes that movie is on my top 10 list for favorite Christmas movies.

#11 Endarire Dec 13, 2008 17:07:23	Human Artificer with maxed Craft (Trapmaking). He builds a bunch of teleport traps, possibly with a contingency trigger, to deliver goodies at the appointed time, and his scrolls of simulacrum and his legion of followers from Leadership make it look like some magical fat man is delivering toys. That's my explanation. Were I that powerful, I'd let someone else work Christmas Eve.
#12 Senevri Dec 13, 2008 17:20:17	9th level? Lessee... 1. Leadership. An army of elves with Skill focus Craft(toys). Cohort ALSO has leadership (I think it's 3 levels lower, so it just qualifies.) Make the cohort an Artificier. 2. Bag of Holding, obviously. 3. Phantom Steed? 4. A decent set of spells. Invisibility, Passwall, stuff like that.
