Playing a sandwich?!

[Vorpal word]

I got this from a friend, basically it allows a high-level psion to play as an inanimate object (ie. a sandwich)

Here's how:

1. Polymorph a sandwich into a human (temporarily)
2. Use true mind switch on said human
3. Walk into the middle of a cavern complex, preferably filled with hungry, low-level monsters (kobolds are ideal)
4. Wait until you turn back into a sandwich
5. When the hungry kobolds show up, blast away for easy XP :)

And you know what the best part is? Even if they get to you, you can always true mind switch with one of them.

I've seen this before but it always makes me giggle. For some reason I picture a psionic overlord atop a massive pyramid surrounded by worshipers and then it zooms in to a sentient sandwich. I think of weird things...

Yeah, this has been around for awhile. I remember finding this online when I first got into dnd.

Lol this made me thing AvP where the aliens are racing up the temple/pyramid to get the last few preds on a hunt...except a sandwich is mind thrusting them.

*edit* This is definitely food for thought.

You could be a great deal many things with that trick.

But what would happen if someone where to tear the sandwich apart and bury all the ingredients on separate parts of the planet?

That's more or less the pyramid I was thinking.

Could you use True Mind Switch on an object that is mobile, deadly and virtually indestructible, such as a Sphere Of Annihilation?

Only if you Polymorph it into something with a mind first.

Of course, as soon as it reverts to its normal form, it takes its normal int..

[Katrascythe]

I wonder more about what would happen with a sandwich that was in a more compromising environment like by a river? Would the person take damage if the sandwich got wet? It's not like they can breathe...

A fellowship must be made to reassemble the one true sandwich, to save us all!

Damn you, the puns, they are painful.

What? Just to save some Psion who was being stupid?

[Katrascythe]

One pickle to rule them all, one salami to find them, one tomato to bring them all, and in the darkness toast them?

[Sstoopidtallkid]

For a way that doesn't turn all your stats to 0, I recommend using Animate Object+Permanancy+Awaken Construct(SpC)+True Mind Switch. Then at least you get mental stats.

If you took Leadership and got someone strong to carry you around, you'd be the unstoppable force...

I'm sure you're just eating them up.

But yes, you could do that (or something like it). I'm a bit more fond of True Mind Switching something that has a set of abilities you like - Regeneration, Fast Healing, DR, natural Flight, and so on.

There's one problem with being a sandwich. How do you stay fresh? Your bread will get wet and either fall apart of grow mold. Your cheese will dry out. Your deli meat will spoil. Your olive on a toothpich will grow mold. How does a sandwich, even a psychic sandwich, survive in a world without plastic bags and refridgerators?!

Start off with a magic sandwich?

I don't think he is relishing them.

Gentle Repose?

Hmm. Maybe his mage friend can cast genesis that makes a plane where sandwiches don't go bad...

How in the heck does that even work! A sandwich isn't a weapon! It can't get an enhancement bonus!

Start off with a magic weapon then turn it into a sandwich?

Enchant it as a shield.

Ooo, mind swap into a dancing sandwich. You could move then so long as some one wields you in the off times.

It can if its masterwork. Obviously someone needs to ketchup on the rules.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

How...what...hell...DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE!

Now I'm tempted to play a character with lots of ranks in Profession (chef) who makes masterwork sandwiches.

Rye not? Of course, you'll have to name him Arthur Dent.

Masterwork shoe repairmen? Of course nobody ate them; most people aren't cannibals!

Well, of course.

+2 dancing unholy flaming burst sandwich...I'm drooling just thinking about that deliciousness.
