Iron Chef Optimization Challenge In The Playground XXVII

[The Gilded Duke]

I can empathize with the criticism of diplomancers, although many of the builds in this contest did it with a good amount of style. It is frustrating to deal with no save effects such as diplomacy. What I found interesting was how you gave bonuses and penalties for the use and non use of Mindsight. I'm honestly a little tired of the Mindbender / Mindsight combo. It is overdone, and there are so many better ways to use Mindsight.

100 feet Mindsight is nice, but why settle for that when you can get a range of miles instead.

Also I've never actually had a problem playing a full on batman wizard in any game. Zillas and Mailmen people have problems with, but I think its more about stealing the spotlight then actual power levels.
