View Full Version : Power-building immunities.

Okay, so I've been working on a super-broken character built with the basic amalgam, degenerate, and variant augmentation rules. The character gains casting as a cleric, wizard, druid, and a sorcerer. On top of that, it has rogue equiv sneak attack and fighter bonus feats racially.

Now, that being said, it's pretty much immune to damage. I bred in magic and psionic immunities, negated force and time damage, and now am starting to wrap up all of the other immunizations. It's healed by fire and shock, so it doesn't need to be immune to those, but what creatures do you know of that have the most immunities. I want immunities to every effect, kind of damage, and any possibly way that my character might be scratched, short of going pun pun.

Any tips?

(And if you're against powerbuilding, don't comment. Plox and danke.)

Do you have immunity to all damage? Can you autopass all saves? How do you do against Searing Spell? What about Hail of Stone? What about Supernatural Holy Words? What about Knowledge Affiliation?

Well, I have unpassable regen and immunity to subdual, so that takes care of the basic combat damage. Searing spell doesn't really matter much, because I'm healed by fire.

As for the others, I'm not entirely sure. I know I'm immune to all magical and supernatural effects (as per an addy golem)

Is it considered "damage"? If yes, then I am immune to it.

Piercing Cold can get through, and you need energy drain and death effect immunity as well as ability damage and drain immunity. You also need gargantuan skills to thwart diplomancy. At this level of power you need wish immunity, as well as teleportation and transmutation.

Nope. Piercing Cold is actually weaker than Searing Spell. But it doesn't matter in this case due to the regen trick.

Also, Diplomacy can't be used on PCs, or at least it doesn't auto succeed.




As for the others, I'm not entirely sure. I know I'm immune to all magical and supernatural effects (as per an addy golem)

I take it that's 3.0? The wording seems a bit vague, but if it's really complete immunity to all magical and supernatural abilities, that covers everything I can think of. Even Knowledge Affliation is Su (it also offers a save, sadly).

I expect even Tippy would find this quite a challenge.

So, I want to know what different things are used for each bit along with each thing. How much level adjust does this thing have?


Frenzied Berserker/Ubercharger with Trollbane says you are still dead. Ice Assassin, etc.

Spell/Power Immunity only works on things that allow spell resistance.

I believe this is the broken 3.0 version of magic immunity. At any rate it also blocks supernatural effects.

Well, I have unpassable regen and immunity to subdual, so that takes care of the basic combat damage. Searing spell doesn't really matter much, because I'm healed by fire.

When you say unpassable regeneration, do you mean immunity to all things that would normal get passed, fire and acid for example.

Trollbane just stops regeneration from working for an attack with a weapon.

As far as I know, this trick was errata-ed to not work. If you have regen, you cannot get immunity to subdual

I'm not aware of any errata for it (and errata addressing an ability found in various disparate places would be rather strange). All I know is that most of the sources that give immunity to non-lethal shut off Regeneration by virtue of having Con -. However, it's still possible to get that immunity without using those.

But are you immune to just being ignored ?

I.e. can your character actually do something that's worth attacking him for ?

How about getting stuck in a Forcecage or Web ?

Or being Grappled ?

HeyThereImBear
2013-11-08, 08:44 AM
Well, I mean, I'm actually immune to force effects, so that cage wouldn't stop me. Even if it did, I'm immune to magical and supernatural effects, so I could still just walk right through it.

I'm not immune to being grappled, but with a bonus to my grapple checks of 2.5x my str mod (+1557 at this point), I'm not sure what in the hell could grapple that.

And as for doing anything worth mentioning...

I dunno. I cast epic spells at level 15. In more than 3 spellcasting classes.

Also is evil, which would gain him enemies in the cliche' dnd world.

No, I have the tarrasque's regen, as well as fast healing. And if that magic trollbane weapon hit me, It'd have to roll against being dispelled and not having that effect me.

It technically has a net LA in the negatives, brought up to LA 0 because you cannot have negative LA on a PC. Templates may grant negative LA (See the excerpt in degenerate, deluxe book of templates 3.5e)

I'd have to see that. Considering my subdual damage doesn't come at the cost of my con score, I still have the ability to gain regen.

Well, I mean, My fort save is base 241 without magic items. My reflex is only like... 70. That being said, I re-roll all natural 1's on saving throws, and I only take half damage from failed reflex.

I wonder if there's a way to be immune to ex abilities. I'm going to have to check into that.

When you get that high the actual bonus is near meaningless. Either you have infinite saves or you don't. Tainted Scholar for instance can give its spells infinite save DC, though I don't see any way to apply that to Ex abilities.

Hmm, is there any way to get an infinite CL Owl's Insight? Any good Wis based ex abilities?

Looking at tainted scholar, it still uses arcane casting though.

Let's get dangerous...

Annihilating strike, the Salient Divine Ability. There is no defense save having a bigger divine rank then the god has. Sure you'll make the fort save...till you roll a 1...

And if that doesn't work, we'll break out Life and Death (or even Mass Life and Death.)

No save, mere mortal. And no, death ward won't save you from a god. And neither will construct immunities, as the diety will just snuff your animating force. Only having a Divine Rank bigger then the deity will save you.

Well, I mean, if you want to bring in divine ranks I could pull defiant and Cut the damage from annihilating strike, time stop, and then do enough damage to cull the fool down. I only get a few attacks with over 1.5k damage. I do get over their DR. If we're only talking pre-made gods (i.e.:wi-jas), They wouldn't last very long.

That still won't save you from Life and Death.

Your opponent:

Life And Death

Prerequisites

Divine rank 6, Gift of Life or Hand of Death salient divine ability.

Benefit

The deity designates any mortal and snuffs out its life. Or the deity can designate any dead mortal and restore it to life. (By mortal, we mean anything that doesn't have Divine Ranks. Being undead or a construct won't save you...)

Notes

This ability works across planar boundaries and penetrates any barrier except a divine shield. However, the subject must be in a location the deity can sense, either within the deity’s sense range or in a location the deity can perceive through its remote sensing ability. If the deity cannot see the subject, the deity must unambiguously identify the subject in some fashion. If the deity chooses to kill a mortal, the ability works like the destruction spell, except that there is no material component or saving throw. The mortal cannot be raised or resurrected afterward, except by a deity of equal or higher rank using the Gift of Life or Life and Death salient divine ability.

If the deity restores life to a mortal, this ability works like the true resurrection spell, except that there is no material component and the amount of time the subject has been dead is irrelevant.

This ability cannot restore a creature to life against its will, but it can resurrect an elemental or outsider. It can resurrect a creature whose soul is trapped, provided the soul is not held by a deity of higher rank than the one using this ability.

This ability cannot restore life to a creature that has been slain by the Hand of Death, Life and Death, or Mass Life and Death ability of a deity with a higher rank.

Rest

After using either version of this ability, the deity must rest for 1 minute per level or Hit Die of the creature affected.

Deities whose portfolio includes death do not have to rest after using this ability.


As such, the deity can smite you safely from his home dimension, and there's nothing you can do about it short of going there and killing them all pre-emptively.

What happens when someone throws a few thousand Fort or Ref effects at you? Say, fifty thousand solars all attacking you with their bows. Statistically, a few are likely to roll natural 20s to hit you, get past your 50% chance to destroy the arrow on contact, and two natural 1s in a row on your two saving throw rolls.

Are any of your defenses due to things that get shut down in an antimagic field? How about a dead magic plane? Or a restricted magic plane? Mordenkainen's Disjunction? Epic dispel seed?

What about an attack that bypasses immunity to poison, coupled with trollbane?

Gate opened right under your feet (together with an effect that negates flying), leading to an inescapable plane?

Time travel to a time before you gained all this power (or, if necessary, before you were born) to prevent you from ever gaining it (or existing) in the first place?

Fear spells from a necropolitan tainted scholar/dread witch?

The problem that you run into when you desire to create something that is totally and absolutely immune to everything (and incredibly likely to have nigh or truly infinite power to back that up) you are heading down a very familiar path that inevitably leads to pun pun. Anything lesser than P2 is destroyable or can be preempted by P2.

Divine Splendor

Prerequisites

Divine rank 16, Cha 26.

Benefit

Any mortal who approaches within 10 feet per divine rank of the deity in its natural form dies immediately, with no saving throw.

Suggested Portfolio Elements

Supreme.


(This can also do you in. Go Zeus!)

Know Death

Benefit

The deity knows the exact moment and circumstances of any mortal creature’s death just by looking at the creature.

Suggested Portfolio Elements

Death.

(That works too, if the God wants to know when Pun Pun will kill you.)

Lay Curse

Benefit

This ability works like the bestow curse spell, except that mortals get no save. Deities of equal or lesser rank are subject to this ability, but are allowed Will saves (DC 10 + the deity’s Charisma modifier + the deity’s divine rank) to resist. The curse can be removed only by a deity of equal or higher rank than the cursing deity.

The deity can affect up to one creature per divine rank at once, but no more than that number each day. All must be within the deity’s line of sight when first affected.

Suggested Portfolio Elements

Evil.

(No save for you, mortal!)

Lay Quest

Benefit

This ability works like the geas/quest spell, except that it works only on mortals and it can be removed only by a deity of equal or higher rank than the deity who lays the quest. The deity can affect up to one creature per divine rank at once, but no more than that number each day. All must be within the deity’s line of sight when first affected.

Suggested Portfolio Elements

Justice, law.

(NO SAVE FOR MORTALS!)

Power Of Truth

Benefit

The deity knows when anyone (other than a deity of equal or higher rank) deliberately lies. This ability works like the discern lies spell, except that it works continuously and applies to any creature the deity can perceive. The deity also can enchant creatures so they become truthful. The deity can affect up to one creature per divine rank at once, but no more than that number each day. All must be within the deity’s line of sight when first affected. The enchanted creatures become unable to utter any deliberate falsehoods or evasions of truth for one day. The subject is allowed a Will save (DC 10 + the deity’s Charisma modifier + the deity’s divine rank) to resist. Subjects who make successful saves become immune to this ability for one day.

Suggested Portfolio Elements

Justice, law, truth.

(No lying to this god!)

Power Of Luck

Prerequisites

Luck domain.

Benefit

The deity can give creatures good or bad fortune. The deity can affect up to one creature per divine rank at once, but no more than that number each day. All must be within the deity’s line of sight when first affected. Subjects receive a luck bonus of +1 per divine rank or a luck penalty of -1 per divine rank on attack rolls, saves, and checks for one day. Any creature that attacks the deity automatically suffers the luck penalty, and this does not count against the deity’s daily uses of this ability.

Suggested Portfolio Elements

Fate, gambling, luck.

(No save for you, mortal!)

Okay, yea. It's kill-able. That was kind of the point of this thread. What is it that this character needs to be (short of pun pun), completely unkillable and immune to everything. I've covered the majority of things I can think of, like, what else is there?

Is it immune to Surge of Fortune+Craft Contingent Spell Surge of Fortune+Vorpal Weapon? That kills anything that needs its head, and you have no listed ability that makes you unaffected by headlessness.

Do you have some way of preventing vile damage? You cannot heal it with Regenration. (Note: the regenration/subdual damage immunity thing not working was either the Sage or the FAQ, not actual errata).

If someone uses Knowledge Affiliation (Complete Champion) to hit you with Kiss of the Grave (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fey/20030411a), do you cry?

Knowledge Affiliation in general, do you have a way around it?

I'm pretty sure that's a magical effect, of which I am immune to. The Knowledge affiliation, that is.

As for the vorpal thing, It'd be the same as if you beheaded the tarrasque. It'd just grow back, because that regeneration says specifically that I'm not killed by something like that.

I guess when I say "Immortality", I really mean that he's unkillable and immune to everything. He's also casting as a sorcerer of like... 8x his HD. As well as multiple other magical sources. It doesn't really stack up combat wise, because he's useless in antimagic, but RP wise the character can fit in with the outrageous crew.

Well, I suppose sanctified damage might be an issue. But even if you do want to use that, I can just set a greater solarity to go off before such a weapon hits me more than once, and then time stop and kill whatever it is that has such a horrible creation.

Permanent Emanation: Planar stasis, no time stop bud

Lets have some more fun. Your time stop wont let you affect another person, so time stop and gtfo is your option. I can think of a few ways to get the most chance at rolling a nat 20, and then we can just stack so many attacks one will be nat 20. So in fact, i can kill you decently easy with sanctified vorpal kukris. Which is kind of funny, this monstrosity being felled by a guy wielding crappy items


And for the record, a deity can kill you long before you think of killing him. You plan on using what to stop the fact he knows about you weeks in advance? Everything you do and somhow beat him, the dm just goes redo fight, he woulda known everything you planned to do and had counters to them all. A god will pimp slap you, and TBH if your dm is playing wisely a god would come down to slay you. Because you upset the balance to much

Try breeding in the Alter Shape ability of the Hagunemnon. This will let you grab (Ex) immunities of creatures that otherwise cannot breed, on the fly. For example, a Fang Golem's heal-by-cold-damage, or a Stone Colossus's AMF that won't interfere with your supernatural abilities. But it's one of the top 10 most powerful abilities in the game; use with caution. Search Google for Anthrowhale's ExFighter for more ideas on Alter Shape immunities.

Actually, with amalegem, I can breed constructs. Variant augmentation allows me to do so without becoming a construct, and Degenerate allows me to breed only the traits I want through.

Two things that must be mentioned:


It is not powergaming when third party materials are used that require no thought to be broken.
Having the ultimate defense means nothing when your enemy just watches you when you cant do anything meaningful for offense


Of course I might be wrong, but I reserve my right to hold these beliefs until a build is actually shown. Ultimately Pun Pun can still murder it, as could many many other Insane High Op characters.

its uplayable in that the skill checks involved are nearly broken. Its possible to optimize it to a point where you can play it, and at high levels the class can do some really broken things. Spamming Gate, for one.

By putting a McGuffin on the Positive Energy Plane that you need to retrieve.

Or planar bubble, but I think your magic immunity might take care of that. Not sure if that allows spell resistance or not.

My magical immunity is all magic, not just spells that allow SR.

Teleport and plane shift are the most obvious ones. Being immune to everything is great, but it's going to suck if you have to walk all the way to your enemy's castle on the moon. Maybe you could use the gate spell?

Hm. That's true.

The spell might move the ship but leave you behind. Can't say without knowing the text of your version of magic immunity.

There is a price to power, after all.

You might have more look with portals, depending on how the text is worded, but those tend to be expensive and time-consuming to build.

But you have to get there before you can waltz through it. And what happens if the BBEG is on another plane? Or sealed up underground, accessible only through teleport? I suppose in the latter case you could excavate a tunnel to his redoubt - or grab the Mineral Warrior template for earth glide - but in the former you're out of luck.

Also, how many of your powers and immunities derive from (Su) or (Sp) qualities? How will that interact with your magic immunity?

A lot of my powers (and all of my immunities) are (ex), aside from my spellcasting which is standard. I don't really know why I have spellcasting, because I have the 100' antimagic aura, that only allows me to use supernatural effects.

There's some feat - I think it's called Chosen of Mystra, but I don't have the book it's in; I've just heard about it - that lets you cast in an antimagic field. I'm pretty sure there are other ways to get around that as well. Might be worth grabbing one of those.

Also would be a good idea to get immunity to divination if your magic immunity doesn't cover that.

From what I recall, this class is considered unplayable, though. So I'm not too worried about coming across it.

It's not unplayable by any means, it just takes more optimization to make it effective.

That being said, being able to spam 1 minute duration gates, the ability to trap you or prevent you from entering/leaving a specified area, and affecting you with things that have no save and aren't magic, you're still shut down.

The best way to combat it would be to prevent them from speaking, but that only imposes a 20% chance of failure.

My magic immunity covers all magic. It's just "immunity to magical and supernatural effects". And my DM has ruled that as "Immune to magic, and supernatural effects". Please see "Adamantine golem".

Are you immune to somebody scrying on one of your belongings? What about a spell that targets the caster instead of the person it's gathering info on - e.g., contact other plane?

Well, the only belongings the character has is a fullblade and a cursed item.
If they want to scry the sword, they can, that's no big deal.

From what I recall, the cloak actually gives immunity to scrying, and cannot be scryed in any way. The person who attempts to has to make a will save or be subjected to the "nightmare" spell as by my CL (which, in this case, is pretty damn high when I toss on a feat or two.

Well, my gaming party consists of younger players (The oldest is our dracolich, at 20), so our games consist of more RP encounters than anything else. I mean, what would happen if five unkillable creatures got together? The sessions are filled with emotions and the combat takes AGES. If we get into real fights, the monsters are as strong as (or stronger than) we are. The characters are made to a ridiculous standard thanks to me, so the focus is much less on combat and more on solving mystery, or unraveling plots that encompass the entire dimension.

Well, I'd have to find it, but there's a table that says if you have higher that 60+ CHA, you can pretty much dictate what your character looks like.

Iron Heart Surge
Iron Heart
Level: Warblade 3
Prerequisite: One Iron Heart maneuver
Initiation Action: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: See text

By drawing on your mental strength and physical fortitude, you break free of a debilitating state that might otherwise defeat you.

Your fighting spirit, dedication, and training allow you to overcome almost anything to defeat your enemies. When you use this maneuver, select one spell, effect, or other condition currently affecting you and with a duration of 1 or more rounds. That effect ends immediately. You also surge with confidence and vengeance against your enemies, gaining a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls until the end of your next turn.

I fail to see how that would help you.

I think ice assassin could work. It requires a piece of your body, which is the tricky bit, but once they have it, it is no longer immune to magic like you are (although IA may still target you, I'll check).

I understand mechinaclly how you could do this, but how can you justify BREEDING in abilities for Half-Golem? Thats like saying My father was an amputee, so Im born without the use of my right arm :smallsigh:


I'm actually using Variant Augmentation to pick those individual properties from the templates. As per the description.


Ok I got it.

1. summon component spell, first level. Piece of hilga's hair (not affecting you, just conjured up)

2. Ice assassin of hilga

3. True mind switch into an imp

4. Possess your character via BoVD rules

5. control your character via BoVD possession rules

6. game over

notes: immunity to possession can be acquired by protection from evil. Unfortunately, that can be dispelled. I dunno how you're gonna get around this one, but I'm sure there's a template somewhere.


I'll see if I can figure this one out before I go to bed.

Since I dont have the book, could you explain to me what that does? In terms of how it makes sense in-universe, what does it do?

Also Another way to kill this person: Have a portal to the Astral plane, get her into it one way or another (Close off any exits besides the portal? In the Deep Underdark for that Radiation effect?), then cut the astral cord the player has with a Githyanki Silver Sword

Sooo VA basically has zero justification in-game? I'm very surprised this is allowed in any game that isnt Epic Tristalt Missle Tag games. Mostly this is just me being a stickler for following fluff for templates, and explaining how someone exists beyond SCIENCE/MAGIC.

Also Portals are stationary Gates essentially, and effect you as much as a door effects you for walking through it. Now in this situation Its as simple as Wishing up some Dancing Silver Swords, chucking them in, getting your girl to go in one way or another, then closing the portal

Hm... No, no real justification.

I think you can chuck this up to a "You can't make me go through that portal". Because, let's be real, who can really do that? Plus, doesn't the portal wink out in my antimagic?

Secondly, we're back to my point of "Well if my hair is a part of me, isn't it immune to magic too?", meaning that spell still couldn't grab it.

And with vecna-blooded, no one would have any reason to look for my hair.

Portals are artifacts, and therefore immune to antimagic fields. Its effects arent targeting you, therefore work. And the reason to go into that portal is that there is no way to leave otherwise.

Someone yanking out my hair would die. Or as close to death as I could inflict before they could move away from me.

And no, the spell says it gives the component needed. That spell requires a piece of that PC's hair. Not a copy, but an actual piece.

And who's not to argue that if the hair is immune to magic, that it'd be unfit to use in a spell, as a component to be eaten away by *magic*.

Oh look, a scrub.
Oh look I just Wished a creature with Permanent Emanation: Planar Bubble for a demiplane where one round is a hundred trillion trillion trillion years on the material plane. By the time you get to act to kill the creature, the heat death of the universe has already occurred.

Oh look I just Wished a creature next to you that has a readied action to Iron Heart Surge your AMF away before I used a Maximized Time Stop, Wished myself right next to you, pulled out my portable hole, dumped it over your head, and then threw a portable hole in with you.

Oh look I just Wished a Psion 9/ Factotum 11 next to you and had him Iron Heart Surge your AMF away before using Cunning Breach and Trait Removal as a power (via Psychic Chiguery from a Spell to Power Erudite) to rip off your Regeneration and various other immunities. And because I was fun I used Epic Spellcasting to get the psion an Instantaneous enhancement bonus to Intelligence of one hundred thousand.

Although if I really wanted to, I don't need to use Epic Spellcasting. I can get minions with an Int score of a hundred trillion trillion trillion completely RAW legally.

Seriously, you are using third party materials and really aren't doing anything special. I made a gestalt character for an ECL 20 game the other day that was immune to most everything you have listed as an after thought. Completely rules legal and pretty much superior to this thing.

Hell, any Psion with Ice Assassin as a power known (gained via Psychic Chiguery from a Spell to Power Erudite) can do this better than you can. Picking up every single ability from every single class and monster in the entire game really is not that hard.

My point is that there is no way this character would work in a standard dnd setting minus MAYYYBE Eberron, and if there are gods they WILL want you dead.

Okay, so I guess I'm kind of curious where it says I can wish things into an AMF. And according to vecna-blooded, there's no reason for anyone to even know Hilda exists, so there's even less reason for someone to be wished next to her.

Emperor Tippy
2013-11-09, 08:06 PM

No, you aren't. You only have immunity to powers that allow PR. And what do you know, Factotum 11 has Cunning Breach which lets him ignore PR/SR and thus bypass the immunity to psionics of a Psion Killer and the various 3.5 golems with Immunity to Magic.

The 3.0 Magic Immunity that you get from an Adamantium Golem doesn't block psionics under transparency and thus you have no relevant immunity once the AMF is gone, which the Iron Heart Surge takes care of.


The first two, sure. Assuming you can find me.
Wish, I don't need to "find" you. There is no hiding from Wish. And I can always just use Simulacrum via Spell to Power Erudite and make a perfectly loyal copy of you that knows everything that you know and will tell it all to me.

This isn't a character. It's an absurd combination of creature abilities gained via deeply flawed third party material and isn't really anything interesting or special.

Well, you can wish someone into an AMF because your nor casting a spell in the AMF

suppresses any spell or magical effect used within, brought into, or cast into the area
Your not casting in the AMF, your casting on someone OUTSIDE the AMF

Sadly, here's the thing about vecna blooded. The cloak of mysteries is an Su ability, so it does not work in an AMF. That's not really exploitable, but I think you should be aware, just in case it comes up.

to find you, I've no idea. I'm sure you'd eventually leave a sign of your existence somewhere though.


also, although it was confirmed that divine abilities could kill you, and you don't appreciate it being pointed out, it really is important to note that as soon as you kill a god, the Lady of Pain will actually come and kill you. There is literally no way to circumvent this, as she is all knowing and all powerful as she has not been stated. SO that's kind of a flaw, but I don't mean it i na taunting way. It'll just make what you do more difficult.

EDIT: oh, also, Tippy is pointing out a really bug flaw. If you're only immune to powers that allow PR, that could really screw you over. Honestly, just ignore all the other things and focus on that, it's easily the most important.

also, I would argue hat wishing someone into an AMF isn't magic in the AMF because the magic is not being cast in the AMF, it's just the effect.


effects of instantaneous conjurations are not affected by an antimagic field because the conjuration itself is no longer in effect, only its result.

I thought about making a thread in Friendly Banter and quoting all of those who thought that I was Win in there before providing a sig link to said thread but that really felt like too much work.

All thats going through my mind is the DM making a better, more perfect him using more template stacking and some nice old DM fiat, which he is relying on as well

I personally really like the idea of an unkillable ice assassin constantly trying to kill an unkillable PC.

He just stops trying to murder you and settles with ruining your day. Stands in doorways you're trying to use. Ties your boot laces together when you're not looking. Yells at the top of it's lungs while you're trying to have a conversation. Rearranges your equipment and spreads nasty rumors about you.

The entire game you have this entity just cackling in the background about all the schoolyard pranks it pulls on you to make you look silly in front of your friends.

With your 3rd party rules, why don't you just get all the templates and mitigate them? I mean it seems fun to build an omni-character, but if it's so easy to get all of the LA mitigated, why don't you get all of them?

For more Fun templates look up the Hulking Hurler and Mr. Roboto.

TFW Immune to fort saves that don't effect objects.

Such as trait removal, for example.

Tippy, I have to ask - what is the Secret Origin of Tippy? What drove you to learn such dark and frightful extremes of power in 3.5 that it is now considered a normal event in your games for wizards to turn into sapient planets?

Mostly just playing the game with other players and DM's who (like me) have absolutely no interest in pulling punches or playing fair.

That isn't normal, it's just not abnormal.

Not really. I pretty much play either whatever interests me at the time and/or whatever homebrew that I want to play test.

Although I really have very little interest in ever playing a straight melee tank bruiser. I honestly can't remember the last time I played a character with full BAB that wasn't courtesy of a spell or power.

I don't even really like Crusaders or Warblades. I mean mechanically I have no problems with them, I like the fluff and everything even, I just have no interest in playing a character like that.

Understandable, and i dont play cleric and other preachy classes for most of the above mentioned reasons. My question was meaning if you ever had people come to you, say hey can you build me X, and you build them?


Case in point, could you build santa clause? The 3.5 published santa is......a published build Lmao

Yes, people have asked me to build them things but unless they are part of my real life gaming group, someone who has done a favor for me in the past, the thing they want built is actually something that interests me, or (very occasionally) someone who I'm going to be playing with in a pbp game then they best they will get is a bit of general build advice/suggestions.

Oh yeah, and I don't generally respond to PM's asking for build advice.

Could I? Sure. It's not that hard. Do I have much interest in doing so? No, not really.

Are there easily accessible threads or somesuch showing examples of Tippy's works? Ever since the search function on these forums was removed, so too was the ability to use the "Show all threads started by [user]", and I am curious about some of what Tippy's done, particularly if it involves arcane casters (my favorite character type), and ever since the days of Gleemax I've just rather liked theoretical optimization and ridiculously powerful builds and such.

What's up with all the weird LA listings (tarrasque +2???), and why are you spending +15 LA on immunities you can get far cheaper elsewhere?

Her total LA is -3, so apparently LA is a cheap currency with the resources she is using.

HeyThereImBear is using the Book of Templates - Deluxe Edition, a third-party splatbook with some very odd rules that allow a character to cherry-pick abilities from various sources. Spoiler: The rules aren't very well-thought out.

And yes, as it has been so eloquently put, I'm cherry picking immunities and sq's.

It's actually something like +93 taken out of -210.

I believe the greatest weakness your character has is the fact it's so hilariously powerful that common sense and role-play reasons would be it's undoing, in the form of direct divine intervention at worst.

Other than that a caster could use gate, and request his\her deity or similarly powerful being with divine ranks to make sure you do no more harm. Considering who\what your character is it is unlikely contacted divine entities will ignore the situation.

These events are quite likely, and the absence of consequences for your character breaks verisimilitude to a great degree.
