3.5 Optimization Challenge: An Elephant Who Never Forgets - TO KILL
I present to you, my fellow forum-goers, a challenge: Make the most interesting/deadly character possible, using an awakened elephant as the race. No good alignment allowed: this Elephant is a killer, not a lover.

All that I say applies only to myself. You author your own actions and choices. I cannot and will not be responsible for you, nor are you for me, regardless of situation or circumstance.

Re: 3.5 Optimization Challenge: An Elephant Who Never Forgets - TO KILL
Bear Warrior. I mean, you're an Elephant, that CAN TURN INTO A BEAR.
As for powerful? Well, you qualify for size-based feats. Use improved grab and the multigrab chain, then get drunken master/hulking hurler and bloodstorm blade in, and you can throw people at people, and have the first people come back to your hand. How awesome is that?Last edited by term1nally s1ck; 2010-05-10 at 10:07 PM.

Re: 3.5 Optimization Challenge: An Elephant Who Never Forgets - TO KILL
I won the first BG Iron Chef contest with an elephant hulking hurler...
Well, technically I had to go with centaur, but the optimized build was Druid 17/Hulking Hurler 3, noting that a standard elephant has immensely strong trunk, able to lift entire trees from its roots. Then add +16 Str to that from Bite of the Weretiger, plus the feat to quadruple carrying capacity, and the result was an incredibly damaging hulking hurler.
And with your own elephant animal companion, you always have something to hurl at opponents.Handbooks: (Hosted on the new MixMax forums)

I considered making one using the Book of Erotic Fantasy for a grappler who...ahem...crushed his victims to death.*
But I don't think I will.

Re: 3.5 Optimization Challenge: An Elephant Who Never Forgets - TO KILL
Ah, this brings up memories of Dwarf Fortress. Give the elephant multiple ways to sever limbs, absurd aggression problems (barbarian?) and a penchant for burning to death in lava, along with the ability to ignore crossbow bolts through several organs.

Awakened Divine Minion of Sebek (for Evil Outsider type at +1 LA) Elephant 13/Warlock 1/Fiend of Possession 6.
Every villain the PC's ever face should end up being a dastardly 5 ton elephant in disguise. It would be fantastic.Last edited by Pluto; 2010-05-11 at 12:18 AM. Reason: right. prerequisites. those things.

Re: 3.5 Optimization Challenge: An Elephant Who Never Forgets - TO KILL
I prefer the complete opposite. A awakened elephant rogue/assassin. Sneaking around, dressed in tight black clothes and backstabbing his friendly neighbors. Very discreet.
Every time I post a statement feel free to add 'In my opinion...' whenever applicable.

Yes, it's a psychic t-rex transformer elephant pirate that breathes fire, with frickin' laser beams firing from its frickin' eyes.

Re: 3.5 Optimization Challenge: An Elephant Who Never Forgets - TO KILL
In other words, it's a robot dinosaur that shoots beams when it roars.
In other news, I am totally making every single villain in my next campaign an elephant. Especially the bands of kobolds.
"Okay, you dealt 11 damage to the kobold, killing him. You suddenly realise it's an elephant."

How about an elephant bard/loremaster, for an elephant that REALLY doesn't forget?
A pseudonatural farspawn half-aboleth weresquid elephant wizard/alienist. More tentacles than any elephant has a right to.
Half-fiend half-celestial midget dvati were-elephant. One for each shoulder.

Re: 3.5 Optimization Challenge: An Elephant Who Never Forgets - TO KILL
Stampy
Awakened Elephant
Huge Magical Beast (Augmented Animal) currently Gargantuan
Racial HD 13/ Ur-Priest 7
Divine Metamagic: Persistent, Ability Focus: Trample
DMM: Persist spells:
Divine Power
Righteous Might
Footsteps of the Divine (Fharlanghn) from Complete Champion
Strength 40 +15 (30 base, +6 Enhancement, +4 Size)
Trample damage 2d8+22, average 31
Assuming 20 hours remains on Footsteps, that's +120,000 ft. for one round, plus the initial +50 ft. it grants, on the elephant's 40 ft. land speed. That's 120,090 ft. land speed, it moves double speed when Trampling, and he occupies a 20 ft. space, or sixteen squares, so he can trample 768,576 squares in a single round. Also, I'm pretty sure nothing in the rules says you can't trample back over the same creatures multiple times. Given ideal circumstances (32 medium creatures in a 20x40 ft room), Stampy can trample out an average of 23,825,856 damage in a single round.

Re: 3.5 Optimization Challenge: An Elephant Who Never Forgets - TO KILL
This thread is made of win. I especially like some of Lycanthromancer's basic ideas: an Egypt-flavored Undead Totemist elephant, and a ballet-based elephant.
I would also like to nominate:
An elephant factotum with a monocle and a British accent. Maybe Factotum/Archivist?
An elephant Ranger with favored enemies Animal and Humanoid (human) and an Australian accent. Named Steve.
An elephant Binder/Knight of the Sacred Seal. With a focus on the vestige Dantalion, makes a great "never forgets" theme. (Too bad Scion of Dantalion is human-only ...)
EDIT: Really, any character concept is just better when you add in "elephant."
A vengeful elephant Hexblade/Blackguard?
A Spymaster focused on Disguise? (That should go over well.)Last edited by Draz74; 2010-05-11 at 05:31 AM.

wizard 20 :)
Although, every wizard needs a good meat shield, and an elephant chain tripper would rule!
joking aside, Biffoniacus_Furiou has the perfect build. with it having 13 useless RHD it is in a pretty bad place to begin with... Ur Priest is the best solution.Last edited by taltamir; 2010-05-11 at 05:04 AM.

the glass is always 100% full. Approximately 50% of its volume is full of dihydrogen monoxide and some dissolved solutes, and approx 50% a mixture of gasses known as "air" which contains roughly (by volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases.

Re: 3.5 Optimization Challenge: An Elephant Who Never Forgets - TO KILL
Step 1: take famous fictional character.
Step 2: change race to awakened elefant.
Don't believe me?
Elephana Jones: Awakened Elephant Rogue 3/Archivist 4. Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Whip.
Obi-phant Kenobi: Awakened Elephant Soulknife 3/Swordsage 5.
Continue until awesome is achieved.
Alternatively: Were-rat elephant. Because I always wanted to see an elephant transform into a mouse.Last edited by Eldan; 2010-05-11 at 05:46 AM.
