| #1noobofsonicboomsMar 25, 2009 17:47:22 | Hey, Here's a build I figured out which is really nice! Wizard (7)/ Master Transmographer (10)/ Hulking Hurler (2)/ War Shaper 2 So basically, you take the form of a baleen whale; give it arms and legs; then use morphic weapons ability to make the limbs colossal. In total this makes the carrying capacity of the person 59,721. If you have a sizing returning weapon you can make it weigh that much. A over burdened haul from the Hulking Hurler prestige class deals 301d6 damage from a single attack. Other cool things you can do with this build are a combination of a hydra and a lammzu to deal 12d4 permanent wisdom damage a round, no save. Another is use the black pudding split ability with any other form with fast healing to make an infinite amount of clones of yourself. A mind flayer with the dark tentacles grapple ability ensures an instant kill. Take a Zodar and a will o wisp spell immunity, and you are immune to all forms of damage. This is such a variable character, you can do most anything with it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, on to the throwing the world part... Basically all you need to do is take 1 level of cancer mage (book of vile darkness: p. 52) and contract the disease festering anger. All you need to do now is wait... The best way I can think how to get it is, a candle of invocation then summon a demon that grants wishes, then wish for the disease. After a long enough time, you will have enough strength to throw the world! I hope this inspires people! Good Luck. |

| #3sofawallMar 25, 2009 18:38:28 | While we found all these tricks already, it's always good to discover these yourself. |
| #4acereraklivesMar 25, 2009 20:28:57 | Nice work ![]() Another easy variant is to play a Druid 18/Hulking Hurler 2, get an item of giant strength +6 and a wilding clasp for that item, then turn into an elephant and cast animal growth on yourself (probably quickened), and throw something massive, like that elder earth elemental you can summon. Coincidentally, I think an elder earth elemental is 60,000 pounds (303d6?), so it's just about perfect for throwing around with glee. |
| #5dr_rocktopusMar 26, 2009 0:31:11 | :: goes to re-re-re-read master transmog :: Very. Very. Glad I disallowed that class for my campaign. I had no idea that WoW's spell immunity was an Ex ability. |
| #6acereraklivesMar 26, 2009 0:41:44 | Well, I assume you also banned shapechange and the polymorph lines, right? A master transmogrifist, aside from having cute tricks like the ones mentioned at the top of the thread, is undoubtedly weaker than a straight wizard 20, who manages to get 9th level spells. |
| #7dr_rocktopusMar 26, 2009 0:45:49 | I use a House'd version of alter-self and polymorph, in addition to disallowing the acquisition of EX abilities by almost any means, for the most part, but generally my players have proven less imaginative and dangerous than I've expected, so it hasn't even come up. The wizard insisted that polymorph wasn't great without prestiges backing it up. I managed to make it out of the room before giggling. The game is level-capped at 16, though, so a lot of the 9th level options are unavailable short of ur-priests and other options, which again only I seem to be aware of the significance of. It's.... a weird group. Never had a man tell me that fighter was a great class and druid was only so-so before. |
| #8sofawallMar 26, 2009 2:53:12 | Like I posted in another thread, a group I'm currently DMing thinks direct damage is what wizards are for, and the Cleric needed help to keep up with the monk's power level. Then there's another group where I'm playing, thinking it was going to be highly optimized, so I opted for Druid 20, but it ended up with a healbot cleric and a halberd, non-power attack fighter. The Barbarian didn't even take power attack until 6th level! 6th! |

| #10dr_rocktopusMar 26, 2009 4:17:27 | Hey there warhulk! Fancy meeting you here! |
| #11sofawallMar 26, 2009 4:34:11 | Man, Any melee class should take that the instant they go epic. Full BAB from epic, plus massive str from Warhulk. Much fun. |
| #12dr_rocktopusMar 26, 2009 4:45:39 | Where is warhulk, by the way? mini's handbook? |
| #13sofawallMar 26, 2009 4:51:29 | Yeppers. |
