Not really. We did get a long lay over in the Mayerial Airport though
>>97960983CAAAAAAARLOS!
>>97960983God fucking damnit anon.>>97960849>TQA couple years before I joined, apparently.One of our guys very nearly became an Aboleth.More recently, we had both a raid from another plane as well as some fuckers from Sigil also approached us with some very suspicious offers of possible godhood, so we may yet check what that's about which would certainly turn into some crazy and prolonged plane hopping adventure.
Whats a fun Psion PrC? Not allowed to thrallherd because there's a leaderfag already in the party.
Would a version of Tattooed Monk geared toward fighters be fun? Something like rune tattoos instead, and different abilities.
>>97962370Crystal Master's not bad. Ithilid Slayer (or the generic if you can use that) will take a while to get to and cost one ML, but it's got some fun stuff and lots of BAB advancement.
What methods are there to avoid being detected/scryed?I already know of the amulet and the spell of non detection, however they are not something I have access to: can't afford one and can't cast the other.
>>97962370Diamond Dragon's (Su) breath and flight are decent tricks to have in your pocket if you can stomach the ML loss.
How does this sheet look?It's the Shadowcaster/Ur-Priest I was recommended.The spells at the bottom are the cleric spells I think could be useful.https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=3078170Still unsure about what feats to get.
>>97964355Extend and Sudden Extend if the game isn't at the level where the choices of Extend Spell, Persist Spell, and DMM: Persist are tolerable. (Or if you don't want to persist buffs and risk the counter-spell wars/don't want to expand the turn pool). If read one way, you can both Extend and Sudden Extend a spell, so once per day you can get a spell with quadruple duration since it's time being multiplied. It's the more digestible version of DMM persisting something. And if it's not ruled as being stackable, that's still one of your highest level spells extended, which can be worth it with the Ur-Priest's access.
>>97964732>with quadruple duration since it's time being multipliedNTA, but I thought there was a rule somewhere that two doublings is a tripling.Still, pretty cool combo.
>>97964758Two doublings being a tripling is a rule, but it's not the rule for 'real' units/things. So distances and durations won't triple, because they're going to be in feet (usually) and minutes (usually) both of which are aren't abstract things.
Looking deeper into the Ghostwalk book & I had a fun thought.Create a hollow Shellcraft Manikin out of Riverine, but put a screw on cap somewhere one it. Make sure it can be opperated from the inside. Uncap it, toss in a ghost buddy, or your own ghost self, & screw the cap back on. You can't be exercised because of the Wall of Force stopping the effect, youre in an unstoppable indestructible manikin. Take some precaution against the Riverine getting destroyed & you're golden
>>97968448I feel like that's just a warforged with extra steps?
>>97971304Kinda, i was thinking more of an indestructible Johann Kraus. Though I could do it with Aurorum & be more like the movie when he possesses the immortal army bot. Gotta find a way to protect against exorcism though
In 3.5 is there a way to play someone with sound based powers?
>>97973354There's a few different illusion and evocation sound based spells. Since it's a less commonly resisted damage type it scales slowly or not at all. I mean there's also just bardic music.
So I've been ruminating on this some more.Evil necromancer. Becomes Necropolitan. Becomes Spellstitched. Before getting 9HD he uses Haunt Shift to posses a constructed skeleton created out of Aurorum. The metal skeleton body has a built in weapon or two, easiest being a fist weapon or hidden blade. It's important to know that the skeleton body could actually be any shape or configuration. The book mentions you can even possess a wagon & whatnot, so there is some wiggle room to give the body some odd mechanical functions/bits that could come in handy.He's now a ghost like creature in control of a metal skeleton that can be instantly repaired like some bad ass Necron from 40k. He disguises himself as a normal skeleton, maybe he even makes some shade steel golems & disguises them as regular skeletons too just to really throw anyone off. He pretends to be a Lich, to hide his real abilities.What do you guys think? I'm gonna use him as an antagonist to make my players really frustrated. Hopefully he comes off like a cockroach always popping back up after letting them "destroy" him.
>>97974264Seems cools, though thematically a bit clashing(benefiting from being spellstiched while not having the body with the inscribed spells anymore, and an undead entity possessing a body formed out of metal from the upper planes).Have you considered using an evil outsider with the Fiend of Possession prestige class instead?
>>97975100I did. I specifically want a ghost/undead & Haunt Shift is a spell that gives me everything I want instead of having to spend class levels.l for the same effect.
>>97973354There's some sound based abilities like Dragonfire Adept Thunder Breath at lvl 10, a couple of soulmelds, and probably some other options, but as >>97973465 mentioned, spells tend to be the answer.Spells:>https://dndtools.one/spells?field_ref_spell_descriptor_id_target_id%5B0%5D=33&field_ref_spell_descriptor_id_target_id%5B1%5D=33&items_per_page=1000Psionic:>https://dndtools.one/psionics?descriptor%5B0%5D=33&items_per_page=1000
>>97975504>>97975504Hmmm. I was hoping for more supernatural abilities or possibly maneuvers.
Found something out that's absolutely Hadassah for undead. Swarm-Shifter from Lubris Mortis let you turn into all kinds of stuff, rats, bats, bugs, beetles, even whirling bodyparts. One thing stands out to me though. Sand. You can turn into a swarm of sand. This really makes me wish there was a way to turn into a swarm of Black Sand as a necromancer that would be sweet. You could Summon minions & then turn into a cloud that kills the heroes & heals your minions. Fun idea for a custom BBEG
>>97980832Fuck my autocorrect, badass, not hadassah no clue what that even is
