Targeted Dispel on you. There are no indicators of any kind of this (still/Silent greater Dispel Magic), so barring Spellcaster's bane, or the like, there's no way of knowing that I'm casting until it resolves.

[Claudius Maximus]

Alright, it's all resolved.

You see the amorphic cloud disperse, revealing a medium sized humanoid in E6 wearing a heavy cloak, a headband, and an assortment of scrolls and potions.

On his shoulder is what is clearly a Psicrystal, which glows with a soft ruby light.

Also near him (E3-G5) is a huge creature with smooth orange-tan skin and large wings. It is unconscious/not moving, but it is breathing. Knowledge (Psionics) and Knowledge (Arcana) may help identify it.

The good news is that you've dispelled a lot of what I had up.

The mind-numbingly stupid news is that Fusion, which I was trying to get banned, is already banned. :smallsigh:

If you want, we could scrap the battle on account of my illegal actions, but for now I'll just continue my turn.

Manifest Twinned Dispel Psionics.

Yeah, I need to shift things around. You have me this time. Looks like we both need to take our characters and tweak some things.

[Claudius Maximus]

What do you mean by that, exactly? Are we calling off the match?

If not, I'd like to know what visible changes I see, so I might continue.

But yeah, I put a lot of resources into figuring out how to call a creature and fuse with it during the match. I'll have to change quite a bit.

If we're done, may I see your sheet? I'd like to check out your trick I keep hearing about.

[PhoenixRivers]

I mean, I've lost both Trollshape and Favor of the Martyr, have an AC around 8, and 14hp. Stick a fork in me. It's a concession.

http://www.coyotecode.net/profiler/view.php?id=7953

The sheet's had a couple minor modifications since my concession. Namely, I'm completely revamping the spell list. I've replaced a couple items. And I've changed 1 feat.

The early entry's still in there, as is the trollshape defense. I made a big play error, as well as a fairly critical design error with spell selection. I should have had a bit more oomph when I encountered you.

[Claudius Maximus]

Looking at that method... I'd prefer not to have that sort of thing running about, really. What do you propose we do about this? I'd not mind a rule forbidding PrC's from qualifying for themselves, which is what you've got here.

Restoration might not be too much of a problem, any more that Psychic Reformation at least. Inspire Greatness is more problematic, if you allow it to increase skill caps. Perhaps a rule forbidding it to do that?

That's why it's exhibition only. It doesn't work for qualifiers. The moment I told DR about this general method, it was given the "Exhibition only, with disclosure" stamp. Which is why I told you it was exhibition only, due to early entry shenanigans.

There are few things from a class that are not lost when you fail to qualify for them. Those things are feats, BAB, and skills. That's what makes it RAW legit, though I understand the balance issue making it exhibition only.
