View Full Version : What if you were Epic-level?

Here's my question: You're at your computer, sipping your slurm, and suddenly inspiration hits you. You're suddenly an epic-level PC!

Any race, class, prc.

What do you do? (feel free to interact and counter one another). You're in modern... wherever you are.

I'll go first: I fix my heater! bwah-hahahhaha. Urm, ok, then I (obviously an Archmage of considerable might) create a giant floating citadel and an army of winged monkeys to enforce my will upon Toronto. Hmmm... monkey-themed roller-casters.

shouldn't this go in silly message board games?
but incase I'm wrong
I would use all my great wealth and pay off my education then I would go to the middle east and fix all the problems myself and then I would solve world hunger

I'm just trying to figure out what class I'd be. Reasonably I think I'm a bard of some sort, due to a lack of combat usefulness but a decent diplomacy skill... but it'd be awesome to one day accidentally awaken my innate arcane magics ("I knew it! I knew I was just a late bloomer!") as a sorcerer. :smallbiggrin:

Realistically, my life wouldn't change at all either way. I'd still be going to art school, I'd just happen to also be magical and/or able to change peoples' minds with a word (or a song). Though bardic abilities, I must admit, I might take advantage of every once in a while if I really felt I needed to convince someone of something...

But yeah... just knowing me, even if I was given phenomenal cosmic powers, I wouldn't use them much outside the small circle of influence I have now.

...

I would like a familiar, though.

Epic level Wizard/Druid. Epic spellcasters all the way!

First thing I would do is show off a bit--test out my new capabilities with a couple presdigitations, some major illusions, a teleport or two...

Then, I would use my new powers to desperately attempt to influence American politics in the direction of SANITY. That might take an epic spell or two, but it'd be so worth it.

Next, I'd start crafting some epic spells to speed up the colonization of Mars. Because Mars is cool.

Epic Monk!
Unparalleled awesomeness, times 2!
Bruce Lee + Chuck Norris + pure cool = me!
I just think that an average looking person, unarmed, unassuming that can kick the trash out of everything in sight but with the wisdom, harmony, oneness to realize you don't need to sounds too cool.
I suppose I would open a dojo to teach awesomeness to the masses.

Wizard-Druid Archane Heirophant, with a macaw familair/companion (AH makes them one and the same). I would be able to screw around with the laws of biology AND the laws of physics at once. good times. in my opinion, the world as it is is seriously messed up, and needs to be put back on track. Im not arrogant enough to think I know how to fix it, but I can hazard a few efforts that would give the world a chance to fix itself, plus arrange things to my own liking.

for race:..........something immortal, or at least very long-lived

I would take complete control over the north woods and prevent any development, polution or logging, and do the same to various other locations around the world, such as africa, the congo, a significant part of brazil (protected by an army of albino shouting gorillas and cassowaraies), keep an eye on costa rica...
remove the entirety of the middle-east region from existance and transplant it into it's own personal demi-plane (which I expect to last about five seconds before being blown up from within.)...
Telelport to europa and see if there's anything under the ice or not (i've always wondered), screw around with the school system to end this whole evoltion controversy, prevent book bannings, and stop religions screwballs from having any say in anything whatsoever (it CAN be done!)...
deliver swift, non-lethal retribution to certain choice individuals...

introduce a combine-style supression feild for a decade or two in an effort to cut down on the human population (im serious, this would solve SO many problems.)

and, maybe later, if this stuff doesnt pan out, or I do some deep thinking on the subject, trigger an ice age. just for kicks. clear the playing feild, hit the reset button, that sort of thing.

the above is semi-serious, as it reflects my own values and interests. And, Ive always wanted a parrot. I agree, that having a familiar would be awesom, and I wish there was more published material on them, to make them more usefull.

Epic level wizard. 'cause then I'd be batman. Nah, Monk/Wizard/Enlightened Fist. Remove all unwanted individuals from the world, personally. Then push world politics back in the right direction. Then make the masses worship me as a god. Then pay a few folks a visit....

Epic Wizard: The world is my playground. I can kill you with your nightmares, build a house out of nothing but magic, turn into a dragon, and generally make the laws of science sit down and shut up. Epic spellcasting only amplifies this. Basically I amuse myself by bending reality to my whim, then make my own world when this one becomes boring.

Epic Cleric of Cthulhu: Self-explanatory. "IA! IA! Cthulhu Ftaghn!" Islam is for pansies.

Epic Druid: Save the rainforest by teaching it to fight back. "All your lumber yard are belong to us!"

Epic Monk: "I'm Buddha, b*tches!"

Epic Fighter: Well, maybe not. Seriously, what would the point be?

Epic level Psion, definitely. Extreme powers of the mind without having to worry about a spell book and spell components AND getting power progression into epic level so that I eventually exceed the wizard in extreme versatility and the sorcerer in extreme adaptability AND being able to craft epic powers? Yes please!

Not sure what I'd do with it though. Likely continue with business as usual until I think of something else that interests me more.

storybookknight
2006-11-07, 04:56 PM
Probably an epic spellcaster of some sort... I would have my very own Island of Dr. Moreau and tamper with genetics so I can have man-eating plants, or maybe start breeding dragons which I will later use to alter the course of history.

Semi-realistically, Rogue/Shadowdancer. I can't (or rather, shouldn't) sing, so bard's out. I'm simply not very strong, so Fighter's out (as a primary, but due to my interest in swordplay I could see it as an extra, maybe 15/10/4). I only have limited interest in nature, which kills Druid and, to a lesser extent, Ranger. I'm entirely non-religious, so byebye Cleric and Paladin. I'm definitely not charismatic, so there went the Sorcerer, and I hate studying (even though I learn fast), so not a Wizard.

This is taking my personality and current skills into consideration.

On the other hand, ideally, without thinking of personality and the like? Epic Wizard (Illusionist).

NullAshton
2006-11-07, 05:29 PM
Probally epic psion. The ability to get ultimate power, without spending a single cent on anything? Yes please.

Well, I'd be a Wizard, definitely.

I probably wouldn't turn the world into my personal playground, but I'd do the occasional subtle thing to improve it in small ways. I would build myself a Demiplane, though.

Epic Psion/Elocator.

Because travelling twice the speed of sound is for grandmas who need to get the lead out...

Besides, crazy mental powers isn't fun unless you can do something cool... like float instead of walk.

As for what I'd actually do?

Since you failed to specify just how epic-level, I'll be taking this to its logical conclusion:

20Rog/20Cler/60Psion(Telepath).

OR

20Rog/20Cler/60Wizard.

Your brains is mine! Sneakily mine! Also if I like you you don't have to worry about dying.

Oh, almost forgot; I'll almost certainly be PrC'ing to Epic Infiltrator, Thrallherd, Cerebramancer maybe, and maybe even something from Libris Mortis. Because, y'know, Zombies.

OOooh, and we get to pick Race, too? Whoo!
I pick Elan.

If I were epic level, I wouldn't be completely failing to write a computer program write now. I'd have made an Epic spell to write code for me. Only problem is, it'd take several thousand first level casters to cast, and I don't know how feasible Legendary Commander is in reality. Plus my prof might consider it cheating.

Wizard 40+/Archmage 5. No need to be anything else.

Kamakazee_Gnome
2006-11-08, 01:20 AM
Paladin/Monk (mostly Paladin). If I can choose a race, half-celestial, or Astral Deva at level 40+. No, it's not the best from an "I win" perspective, but it's cool.

And what to do? End the whole mess in the mideast and this whole "war on terror", personally (tell both sides they're wrong... fun, even just to see the looks on their faces). Then move on to the world's other problems, and generally act like any rediculously powerful force for Law and Good.

Callos_DeTerran
2006-11-08, 02:11 AM
Am I the only one who would abuse the Epic level power for the forces of evil? >.> I guess so. Cleric of Cthulu all the way with a weekly Apoclyapse from the Sky in a random country. Weekly instead of daily because I'll be using an epic spell to create artifacts in the meantime.


Oh, and permenately change into some abberation. Probaly one of my own devising.

2006-11-08, 02:34 AM

The_Pope
2006-11-08, 02:40 AM
As for class, I have no idea, most likely a bard since I'm all charm and just about nothing else. But I'd so be a vampire lord, crashing posh, straight-necked parties, messing with people for fun and causing my own little bit of mayhem. And while the rest of you epic guys all die of old age, I'll just be sitting there with a big ole smug smile on my ever-young face. Haw.

Whamme
2006-11-08, 02:42 AM
Sorceror. Why? Don't want to risk not having my spellbook, there's a risk I would not have spell mastery, and honestly - being a Wizard is HARD WORK. You have to MEMORIZE STUFF. Bah.

And if I got to choose, I know Wish and have a Dragon Familiar. Plus Epic Leadership. Because that would be cool.

Rex Idiotarum
2006-11-08, 06:18 AM
O! yes, Epic leadership, then open a sweatshop with the 1000+ workers, then I buy out Walmart with my $10000000000000000000+ and charms, and slowly buyout and merge all companies under my control until I rule the world's economy. Then you work for me, Muhahahahahahahahahahahaha. Ha. Then using magic, create my own Lovcraftian type mount, ride it up to my enemies, and tentacle smack them. What Crazy 100+ Wizard wouldn't do that? I wish I had maxed out climb, the ability to climb perfectly smooth ceilings.

Epic elf bard focused on Perform (Oratory); with maybe a level or two of Rogue (to get Evasion and Uncanny Dodge). For Feats, Leadership, Epic Leadership, and a few Extended Life Spans. I'd get myself made king of the world.

What I'd do would probably be fairly simple. Get a lot of cash, get a nice mansion, a permanent gate into my own private demiplane... And develop a few epic spells to make me nearly immortal and let me have some fun. Turning the president into a hamster, for example. :biggrin:

Thistle
2006-11-08, 06:25 PM
Not quite sure. I’d want to be something along the lines of half prismatic dragon half celestial pixie with at least thirty levels in all base classes that didn’t require an evil alignment, and all prestige classes.
But that’s kind of boring and it would take me twenty years to figure out all my abilities. So I’ll go with a Wizard 20/ Psion 20/ Cleric 20/ Monk 20 half celestial human with a cat familiar. In all likelihood I’d be too lazy to actually do too much in the way of sway world events. I’d make an epic spell so I could spend time on a timeless demiplane where you can spend as much time there and no time would pass on our plane. If it could hold illusionary monsters that granted massive amounts of XP for being "defeated" so much the better. From there it’s just a matter of researching spells and crafting stuff that I remember I want (like a spell to grant divine ranks).

NullAshton
2006-11-08, 07:16 PM
Thistle, how about you just develop an epic spell to do that...

axraelshelm

When all are silent in the world I shall take this world and guide it into space waiting to kill other races along the way adding to my brood forever searching for new planets to conquer while i sit in my ice catheral staring into a cyrstal ball searching for life.

Lich with Amulate of Gental Repose, yer flesh may be cold, but it is still there. So now I'm undead and thus uneffected by level drains and mind effecting shizznit. I focus on creating an army of Zombies and Skeletons to work in my sweatshops. Then I permancy myself with every Det. Spell, Speech spell, and Defencive spells, as well as epic created spells that control limitless HD of people. (effectively lasting 1 round, however it is also permancied.) I will then have massive HP for a caster (d12's from the lich), I then try to find a spell to get me a Divine Rating. My huddled masses feeding my divine pressence until I could pwn Jesus.

Wizard or Psion ftw. Downside to psions is lack of versatility, where wizards can invent their own spells if they take the time to research them. Downside to wizards is the annoying dependency on their formula sheets (err... spellbook). Basically I'd have to go with a full caster class, because no other option lets you violate reality in such interesting and creative ways. Oh, and I'd have a cat familiar named Yakko.

While I know full well that epic casters win, I'm leaning heavily towards epic assassin/perfect wight. Just because, while not the best way to get phenomenally rich and control the world... just imagine how many people you could kill and no one would ever know about it? Take a few Bard levels for Modify Memory, and make the butler actually think he did the killing!

Why combine sorc and wizard levels? I'd replace the 20 sorc levels with another 20 levels of theurge (epic PrCs, baby) and add in some Heirophant levels for good measure. Better yet, swap cleric for Archivist so you only need one casting stat :-D

Spontaneus and prepared casting. Nearly double the amount of spells. I wasn't exactly going for most practical, just what would get me the most spell slinging.

Advantage to that build at epic levels is that you can bypass the pesky process of item creation and make yourself a handy little epic spell that lets you detonate them remotely rather than make a bunch of gauntlets. Bonus: after the inital research you can churn them out many times faster!

Because after level twenty those classes stop giving all the regular benefits. As a wizard you can just learn all the spells anyways, why bother putting levels in it to do so? With the theurge you get the extra spells, plus save progression and BAB.

I was under the impression that once you hit character level 21, you only ever get the epic progression for save and BaB. All you get from your class is class features. In fact I'm almost positive this is the case.

Which brings me to a further point: wizard levels 21-30 give you access to Epic Bonus Feats. Same for cleric. Mystic theurge is not going to give you those until you hit Mystic Theurge 11, and even then it's waaaay fewer than epic wizard or cleric get.

The only reason you might want Mystic Theurge is if you already have pretty much all the epic feats you want, and just need to efficiently increase your caster level in both Cleric and Wizard. Which isn't all that important since Epic Spells/day is a function of Knowledge ranks, not caster level.

Here's something no one thought up.

Epic Barbarian/Frenzied Berserker/Bear Warrior.

I will lead the fight for freedom from the multiple armies of undead running around, as well as Rexidiotaum's undead Wal-Mart Franchise.

Of course, I will have to be several feet beside my frenzying warriors.

If I were epic level, I probably wouldn't do anything overt. I'd most likely try to apply my newfound power in more subtle means, and probably devote the rest of my life to researching various diseases and attempt to cure them (I would assume skills points do come with the levels, yes? Free knowledge points might be a great help). But, I would never reveal the extent of my abilities unless I had no other choice - the last thing I want is a bunch of complaining losers to come up to me, going "wahhh wahhh there's evil things all over the place, go kill them." And then, there's also the possibility of meeting other crazy-powerful beings, so I think I'll just stay secluded so I don't have to deal with that crap.

If I could choose my class(es), I'd probably go for a gish build....and then just straight wizard from 20 on.

Ask Elan.


That's... brilliant.

Though it should be Dragon Ascendant 12 - and only if the Great GM in the Sky considers half gold dragons to be "true dragons".

*shrugs* But if I can't push the envelope, what's the point of trying to be a half-dragon God?

In Elan's case it was Odin getting all whimsical. I'm talking the power of massed faith, Ori-in-SG1-style.

Though something about the idea of a puppet god is simply delicious. If the puppet's a god, what about the guy who wields him?

I'd like to think it'd be me.

I would be 20+ straight levels of Wanderer, which is a class we use that is a remixed rogue that trades sneak attack for bonus feats, and almost all the bonus feats allowed are ones that give bonuses to skill points.

Of course I was choosing under the idea that you can't cast spells in the real world, and that being a high level warrior would be useless.

Not to mention the undead that I can raise (caster level + 4 +(+53)).

Fighter/Ranger, probably with a smattering of paladin for good measure.

As for what I'd do... Probably the same as I'd like to do already, except on a larger scale. Play working missionary. Go into a country, and help bring up the standard of living, and teach people about Christ on my days off. Just try and be an example for Christians around the world, I guess. A guy does what he can.

I would be a Wizard. I would then obtain a familiar - a tiny viper, to be exact.

Then I would cast Shapechange. The rest is history (otherwise known as Pun-Pun.) [No, Pun-Pun doesn't have to a be a Kobold. It's simply more steps otherwise.]

Knowing me, after a few centuries of keeping myself alive, I'd get bored, send Australia into orbit, merge Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune into a second sun, and have a celestial fireworks display by simultaneously adding billions of billions of tons of iron to the core of every star except our sun and the new one (Jupturanune!)

Failing (or before) the above, I'd probably either a) make myself known and form a world government, b) declare war on the planet, c) stay completely unknown but become essensially a political assassin/mindgames seriel killer/vigilante, and probably become the world's leading expert of various methods of (especially psychological) torture in the process. I believe the third is the most likely, as it pulls me as the most interesting.

I'm not going to say classes, although it'd probably be spellcaster with tons of mind-controlling and direct damage spells, along with lots of assassin-ish abilities. However, I'd much more rather use my own abilities over relying on spells and such, although that's not to say I wouldn't use them to great effect when I did. If you've ever seen or read Hellsing, I'd probably be a lot like Alucard (like for blood aside) - I'd toy with people a lot, but not use more overt power unless it's warrented and when whatever enemies I'm facing think they have me bested.

The problem I haven't gotten around is that I feel morally responsible to have cleric levels (nevermind Epic powers) so that I can heal people, cure the sick, raise the dead, etc. However, I then become a slave to the thousands of people seeking my help and kinda lose my own life. Maybe I tell everybody I take afternoons off. Even with the 5000 gp minimum cost of raising the dead, I'll be kept busy doing it until my arm falls off.

Btw, this thread is pretty funny because I used to play a similar game. I said if you could be level 20 with core classes only, what would you be?

Aside from the clerical responsibilities, bard 20 is pretty cool for you fun-loving types. You use your fascination and mass suggestions to have a ball all day, then cast heroe's feast every morning to make sure you stay disease-free!

Both in "What I would want to be" and the "Taking what I am to epic class levels" methods of thinking, I would be a Paladin 5/Monk 20/Cleric of Jesus X. I'm a black belt and a pastoral min. major at Bible college. But at epic levels, that would pretty much rock out in a ton of ways. Good Wis synergy. I'd be all like on of the Apostles, but also a total kick-butt martial artist.

I would also use my minions and cohorts to make a Star Destroyer (see http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7804909) (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7804909)

Then, I would maximize impower awaken the world's sqirrel population and use my army of sqirrels to RULE THE WORLD with the sqirrels also controlling the Star Destroyers that were made in the fifty years that my minions and cohorts were working on them non-stop. Then all would be right in the world. With the sqirrel overlords, with me at the head, would rule the Human scum and reach out to other galaxy's and proceed to conquer them with my millions of Star Destroyers, each manned by sqirrels, then, as an afterthought, after I ruled the Universe and all neighboring Universes, I would rule my subjects with an Iron Fist and every day they and their children would work in factories making Peeps! Before that I research a spell that gives me Eternel Life and Immortallity! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'd do it mainly for the Peeps.:smallbiggrin:

ASSUMING 40TH LEVEL

I'd probably be a multiclass bard 20/cleric 20, just because I'm a helper and healer (and I'm a English/Religion scholar at college)

What I'd like to be is a sorcerer 6 / rogue 4 / arcane trickster 10 / shadowdancer 10 / epic shadowdancer 10. There ability to jump to anywhere within a mile of me (assuming some shadow) is just fun sounding. Plus, I'm the kind of guy who would rely on hit and run tactics if I had to fight.

Realistically...

Most of my stat points are probably placed in Wisdom, Charisma, and Int. I'm also pretty sure my Dex must be good. Juggling weapons isn't easy.

Stealth classes appeal but I always identify with the ninja in general. I greatly enjoy wearing dark clothes, I won my own pair of tabi boots and ninja garb, and I have Shuriken.

So, considering myself and my friends.

Epic level ninja, with an epic arcane caster/psionist cohort.

As for races, some sort of custom native outsider template applied to Yuan-ti pureblood. (I'm a coldblooded reptile, I swear). For the cohort... spellscale.

I've got leadership, so I'll grab my friends, train them as ninjas, and my Cohort will take us all to some other plane till you all destroy one another here on the material plane. But not before we steal a bunch of artifacts from people who don't know to protect themselves from the incorporeal.

I now have loyalty of all of Africa, for I have brought them salvation, healing, and food. And they all like me. Oh yeah, and I'm gonna walk around with this little mustard seed thing called Faith, move a few mountains to have a nice defensive abilities. Oh and nothing like "Turn Undead" to ruin Walmart.

Or maybe just: 89th Level Cleric/11th level apostle of peace, that'd be cool too. Jesus would approve. Plus, I'd be a total heal-monkey, "The city is under attack by a vile plague my liege" "What no its not." *had healed city in time it took minion to say "my liege*

Sorceror 5, archmage 5, cleric 10, mystic theurge 10, Druid 20.

What can I say? I'm a simple character.

Though, taking leadership, epic leadership, legendary commander, ignore material components, improved cohort, giving money to my followers, and using them to trumpet my name, having my own large castle, throw in an admiral's bicorne, a nice +22 charisma modifier, and a breastplate of command.

That's...+85 on leadership, so commanding... 55,000 1'st level followers, 5,500 2'nd level, 2,500 3rd level, 1250 4'th level, 620 5'th level, 310 6'th level, 160 7'th level, 80 8'th level, 40 9'th level, 20 10'th level, 10 11'th level, and a 48'th level cohort.

I create 2 metropolises (metropoli?), and rule the world through a combination of epic casting and huge numbers of followers. In 2 metropoli, there are at least 250 or so wizards, same with sorcerors, and same with clerics and druids. So that's 1000 participants, getting a -1000 and a bit in the spellcraft DC. I think I can do a lot with that....

Well, first I'd buy a bahama island with all the gold I have available to me. Cast Genesis to make my own little pocket world, fill it with beautiful carribian women whom I pay well for their services, and spend the rest of my days in opulent decadence.

Oh, and since I'm an Epic Wizard, I simply research and use an Epic Spell to make my little island completely inaccessable without my expressed and implicit permission, blocking all forms of transportation including Wish-level stuff.

I won't get involved in global politics. I won't get involved with world domination/destruction conquests. I'll just sip bahama mammas and watch the eternal sunset in my own little realm for the rest of my natural days, waited on hand and foot by beautiful women.

Jack_Simth
2007-02-06, 10:26 PM
Why limit yourself to your natural span of days?

You get to choose most of the properties of your demiplane when you cast Genesis.

Perhaps it has a nice little property that halts aging (after all, you want your cabanna girls to stay young, right?).

Or you research an Epic Transform that turns you into an Elan (or something else that is effectivle ageless).

For that matter, a simple non-epic Rod of Security will do the job nicely, provided you don't take more than 28 people (28*7=196; as it can be activated once per week, that's the effective limit for a given Rod):


Security: This item creates a nondimensional space, a pocket paradise. There the rod’s possessor and as many as 199 other creatures can stay in complete safety for a period of time, up to 200 days divided by the number of creatures affected. All fractions are rounded down.
In this pocket paradise, creatures don’t age, and natural healing take place at twice the normal rate. Fresh water and food (fruits and vegetables only) are in abundance. The climate is comfortable for all creatures involved.
Activating the rod (a standard action) causes the wielder and all creatures touching the rod to be transported instantaneously to the paradise. Members of large groups can hold hands or otherwise maintain physical contact, allowing all connected creatures in a circle or a chain to be affected by the rod. Unwilling creatures get a DC 17 Will save to negate the effect. If such a creature succeeds on its save, other creatures beyond that point in a chain can still be affected by the rod.
When the rod’s effect expires or is dispelled, all the affected creatures instantly reappear in the location they occupied when the rod was activated. If something else occupies the space that a traveler would be returning to, then his body is displaced a sufficient distance to provide the space required for reentry. The rod’s possessor can dismiss the effect whenever he wishes before the maximum time period expires, but the rod can only be activated once per week.
Strong conjuuration; CL 20th; Craft Rod, gate; Price 61,000 gp.(Emphasis added).



Granted, you have to use it again every so often for eternity, and age six seconds every time period...

You don't get to choose time traits, unfortunately, so no Timeless demiplane. In fact, all you get is terrain (sans vegetation), water, and temperature.


Or you research an Epic Transform that turns you into an Elan (or something else that is effectivle ageless).

Hm... If I read the seed right, you can do this using nothing more than the basic DC 21 seed itself. Of course, you're technically an Aberration if you do this, so I hope you don't mind that detail.

remove the entirety of the middle-east region from existance and transplant it into it's own personal demi-plane (which I expect to last about five seconds before being blown up from within.)...
introduce a combine-style supression feild for a decade or two in an effort to cut down on the human population (im serious, this would solve SO many problems.)Wow. Sucks to live in a you-ocracy. :smalleek:

I'm not sure you need that 'combine field'. Industrial nations where people don't have strong economic incentives to have lots and lots of kids, and where women have options other than pregnancy, don't have overpopulation problems. Spread contraceptives in the third world and you'd get the same effect without effectively sterilizing anybody.


I'd go for epic cleric; I'm not cut out to be a super-bard and I'd hate the rockstar lifestyle, but clerical powers would be nice. I really don't know what I'd do next. Run for President, maybe?

And actually forcibly cutting down the human population WOULD cause problems, of the economic sort.

Okay, that would just be my off-hand weapon. My main weapon would be a +10 Frost Icy Burst Icy Blast Longsword of Fire Outsider Bane and Fire Outsider Dread. Also a very epic weapon.

Wizard 60. Because someone needs to play Gandalf realistically. And after I remake the LotR trilogy, we've got world domination.

Please tell me you're talking about remaking the movies. Because with a level 60 wizard, it is impossible to tell if someone is reforming the entire world after their favorite fantasy book for fun :smalleek: .

Here's my question: You're at your computer, sipping your slurm, and suddenly inspiration hits you. You're suddenly an epic-level PC!

Any race, class, prc.

What do you do? (feel free to interact and counter one another). You're in modern... wherever you are.

I'll go first: I fix my heater! bwah-hahahhaha. Urm, ok, then I (obviously an Archmage of considerable might) create a giant floating citadel and an army of winged monkeys to enforce my will upon Toronto. Hmmm... monkey-themed roller-casters.

Does "any race" allow Prismatic Dragons (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/monsters/dragonEpic.htm#prismaticDragon) or Hecatoncheires (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/monsters/abomination.htm#hecatoncheires)?

In any case, the Erudite seems pretty nice. And if "any class" is acceptable, does that include Gestalt classes? :smallamused:

My primary answer would be GC Warlock/Enlightened Soul. Proof that people can change. Just because you are a homicidal, brutal dictator whose hobby is committing genocide today doesn't mean you can't change your ways tomorrow.

But there is a part of me that is drawn to CE Warlock - and being the homicidal, brutal dictator whose hobby is committing genocide. And starting with the people who have royally pissed me off!

Wiz20 and then 10 in a home brew class to make researching new spells and copying them into a book free, or at least enormously cheaper. If you're the first wiz ever then no books or scrolls or any swanky libraries for you:smalltongue:

Race: Elf.
Class: Fighter/Artificer/Warblade/Lyrandar heir of Siberys.
Nearly unkilliable warrior who can ALSO create hurricanes? check.:smallbiggrin:

I thought no one else would pick artificer.
I would just become an epic artificer, overthrow Bill Gates with computers that actually work, and retire as a young millionaire.
And I'd build real-scale gundams in my free time.

What? I'm a simple guy, with simple needs.

Fighter 10/Monk 20.

Then be like Kane. Walk the Earth, meet people, get into adventures....

This is what I have been, sitting here, contemplating.

Epic level Psion, definitely. Extreme powers of the mind without having to worry about a spell book and spell components AND getting power progression into epic level so that I eventually exceed the wizard in extreme versatility and the sorcerer in extreme adaptability AND being able to craft epic powers? Yes please!

Not sure what I'd do with it though. Likely continue with business as usual until I think of something else that interests me more.

I second that. Excellent rant! :smallbiggrin:

I'd be a Druid, or maybe a Druid/Sorcerer. I'd cast Maximized Awaken on random plants and animals, and then send them to college.

I'd be a rogue or a bard, either having a giagantic thieves empire while you sit on a throne with a cheeky little crown perched on your head, or sit in the tavern telling people how you got to an epic level by mooching off the paladin and playing your tuba.

Yknow what? I change my mind...would go for something that can be described in but two words...Void. Incarnate. Nobody will every notice me again. EVER....Unless I attack somebody...never trapped or anything...people will just ignore me while I do things like steal the secrets to bring down Wal-mart Zombie edition and various other people going Epic and trying to destroy the world I want to destroy. :smalltongue:

Epic druid all the way.

I go around wildshaped as a puppy and whenever anyone kicks me I wildshape into a Colossal dire wolf and eat them. :smalltongue:

Plus I can turn anyone I don't like into a goldfish.

I think I'd go mid-30 level cleric. I would go around Mass Healing people and using Hero's Feast in order to feed them. Create Food and Drink is for low-level ninnies.

After I got bored with that, I'd go around giving embarrassing but non-lethal diseases to people who deserve it.

To quote Homer Simpson: "Finally, a way to combine my love of helping people with my love of hurting people!"

in the actual world i'd be something like: monk30/rogue40/ranger30

not exactly the best build, but it would still kick ass.

if i could be anything: psion 40/wizard40/Cleric 20

come one, who WOULDN'T want to do that? If you could get you abilities right, you could pretty much do ANYTHING. Any power, and almost any spell, all at your fingertips.
