1) Can the cupcake be poisonous?

2) Snack Attack's ability to summon Magical Beasts is potentially dangerous. A number of Magical Beasts have high CR for their HD, and while they're only there for a single turn, there's got to be ways to exploit that. Phase Wasps, maybe? What were their HD?

I just realized an Exploit, it says the cupcake can be summoned without frosting or sprinkles. That is not a cupcake, that is a muffin. Therefore this spell can effectivly duplicate Summon Muffin, a 2nd level spell.

muffins typically contain less sugar.

True...Oh, and I checked some erratas, apparentally summon muffin was always intended to be a 0th level spell, it was misprinted as second level in Complete Baker

Yea, but if you use the Kick it Up A Notch metamagic it is cast at second level anyways. And why would you cast that spell without the proper metamagic to optomize it?

Edit: I was a Saladborn, Saucerer 7/Flambeist 4 so dont argue with me.

Not neccissarily, if you gave one Rapid Baking (CB P:65) and bought an Amulet of Almonds (CB pg 82) it could get pretty powerful.
@ stormthorn: Dunno, my DM banned Kick it Up a Notch.

Who'd play without one?

Unfortunately, the DM gave my Mithril Chef the Nut Allergy flaw to help "balance" the class.

What do you suggest I wear instead? It's too late to retrain out of the class.... :smallfrown:

See if your DM will let you buy a wand of Flour to Cake Flour, (or just learn the spell yourself), then take the feat Improved Desserts and an Amulet of Ice Cream.

Uh, oh, somebody call Admiral Ackbar, 'cause it's a trap! Seriously, Improved Desserts is a waste of a feat. Just take a dip in the Elemental Chef PrC for Affinity (Fire), and you can stick with creme brulees ever after.

Oh, and fyi, Imp Desserts and the Amulet of Ice Cream don't stack. It's in the errata.

Really? Geeze there goes my next build, I was going to go for a Pastry Chef5/Cream Master5

I just recommend going into Envoy of Dionyseus. Just till level 5, after that the intoxication DC's get too messed up to be worthwhile.

Nah, we already have an Envoy of Dionyseus. Hmm, Maybe I'll go Pastry Chef until I qualify for Chocomancer.

You'll suffer from MAD that route though. If you really want to go Chocomancer, I highly recommend using Cheesemeister for the Fondue Bonus synergy.

I already rolled up my stats, I got a 16 and 17 so the MAD shouldn't be a problem. Besides, my DM uses the optional Spoiling rules for cheesemeisters, which makes them really annoying to play.

Question. Anybody know the best route to go for a rolling pin focused pastry chef? Of course there is the obvious ones like Lucky Roll and Diabetic Substitution: Splenda. I am just curious if anyone has any ideas on an advanced build setup.

That would actually be the pastry chef's area of expertise. Cheesecake falls under their summon desert ability. Just don't forget to take the cake decoration feat. That makes your cheesecakes even more deadly.

If you want to focus on cheesecake, I would suggjest going Pastry Chef/Cheesemeister.

Also, the secret to optimized low-sodium foods is to not leave salt out entirely, which is why Skill Focus: Micro-measurement is so valuable.

Cake

Illusion (Glam)
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: Standard
Range: 10 ft.
Duration: 5 Minutes/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You create an illusion of a cake 9" radius by 6" height, you may choose the scent, design and may put any number of illusionary candles on it.
While near this illusionary cake you gain +8 to bluff checks regarding cake.

Material Component
A small cube adorning a heart symbol.

The Cupcakes only last for a very short time...You should probably give them an instantaneous duration. That way, they won't vanish inside an anti-magic field.

Also, Snack Attack can be a bit broken, do they get a standard attack or a full attack...That, and Magical beast leaves open 10-headed hydras for 10 1d10+5 bite attacks, at +14 each.

So that gives a fifth level character a potential 10d10+50 damage spell not including any critical hits.

I think there's a thread over in the Roleplaying Games forum that's turning into a handbook on this sort of build. Well, that's what I got from the thread title, anyway...

Wow, I've never heard of Complete Baker before, I'll have to look it up. Is anyone running a game in the PbP forums? It sounds awesome.
This is the internet, so just in case I'll confirm that I do know this is a joke. Except the bit about being interested in a game. That's real.
