The Far Realms care not for your petty sense of normalcy

A great meta example is right here! My comment had +1 to understanding, hamishspence's comment gave a +5 to understanding, and then Douglas chipped in +4 to understanding. So even though all three posts answered the question, and even though Douglas' reply came after hamishspence's, they don't stack, because they are all the same "type" (in this case, they give the same information, just varying levels of detail). Your understanding is now +5, not +10.

I'll tell you right now, if anyone asked me whether I thought they should wear a ballista on their head, I'm pretty sure I'd say "no."

How about a beguiler with levels in beguiler and five levels in scarlet corsair to get the scourge of the seas class feature, with the scourge of the seas feat, the vampire, savage vampire, savage vampire, savage and vampire lord creature templates?

So it's a beguiler beguiler savage savage vampire savage vampire vampire lord scourge of the seas scourge of the seas?

*Waves from library where I had been studying to understand your reasoning*

Ah yes, Ropers. The offspring of Indiana Jones and a petrified tree.

Bit late, my friend. That ship has sailed, circled the globe, and come back into port laden with spices from far-off lands.

This just in, [option being discussed] isn't as powerful as [the most powerful options in the game]! [Build] loses out to Tier-1 persistomancy! News at 11!

That's inaccurate. If someone predicts that you'll be eaten by giant snails, what are the odds that it's right?

Hint: Not 50%.

It's closer to 85%, I'm afraid. But that news might not have gotten widespread media coverage yet.

Yes, it is just horribly out of character for them to actually meet the Aboleth. Aboleths are like if wizards and dragons had babies that then met some Mindflayers and thought the slavery was a neat trick.

As a ghost brute shrieker, I scream about this on the ethereal plane where nobody can hear me. I forgot the template that also got rid of wis or cha.

For some reason this thing makes me think of Pablo Picasso doing the cover illustration for a Lovecraft book.

"On the one hand, you died trying to protect the weak. On the other hand, a cat killed you. We've got just the thing for that... around here, we like to call it Hilarious Good."

I need to summon a portmanteaunicorn slaughterclown.

...you're not talking about rothe, right?

No, I'm mocking the Underdark. Deep Cows are like cows, except they have a greyish coloration, are Evil, have Darkvision, and can cast Detect Grass at will.

Each forcecage casting costs me 1,500 gp in ruby dust, and one does not keep Miss Starshine's company for long before growing a sense of frugality.

Plus you need it for eyeshadow.

I told you that in confidence, you dolt!

It turns out that the right to Free Speech doesn't extend to the right to Free Shipping.

Incidentally, this marks:

1. The highest assigned LA to date, beating the Ghaele Eladrin's +6.

2. The only time a WotC LA above +3 ended up being exactly right.

The second in particular convinces me that the age of reason has ended, and pigs will soon sprout wings.

Well, there's also L3 deep slumber, L5 symbol of sleep and L7 hiss of sleep ...

I've never read about an [Ex] ability that imposes sleep. Though one of my high school teachers must've had such an ability.

-0 for the Gathra as a PC. +1 for the skull as a clothes rack.

Well, it's not that if you use the correct definition, but don't forget that the *Internet* definition of a deus ex machina is "Any unexpected plot development I don't like".

But I bet there's a number of people who are quite content to just see where the story goes, instead of wanting it shaped to their view.

And now, the Order of the Stick has to face the one type of foe they're not ready for: A competent one.

I get the impression that most churches set up their own rules for who's in charge and what the succession chain consists of. Nergal's faith may simply work where a cleric is woken up from a sound sleep to see themselves surrounded by unholy fire while an otherworldly voice tells them Malack purchased an agriculture establishment and they're the new high priest.

"...and then, when he pulls out the enchanted bag of tricks he stole from the Magistrate of Magicians, Z will use the makeshift magic squirt gun to ward off the muskrats. Of course, we'll also have to deal with the horde of demonic Capybaras from the modded Summon Monster possibly blocking our line-of-sight as mentioned in section 9b, so I'll use Silent Image to draw them away. If Malack attempts to use Divine Favor for the second time, then Z will have to use his Crushing Despair which will have a 30% chance to nullify the relevant bonuses on account of the debuffs already in place. At this time, if we can take the stake, Malack will panic letting us dive for the Holy Wafers, assuming any haven't been eaten by the Capybaras..."

Given that Rich has gone on record as to state that he wants to make it clear that racism is bad having that be the message someone could read in his story would be shooting himself in the foot so hard that the bullet burrowed through the planet, burst out on the other side, flew around the planet and hit him in the other foot.

Sometimes, I really hate humanity. They keep proving that they just aren't worth the effort to keep an eye on, that for every virtuous mortal eager to risk it all to lay one more brick so the tower of human progress can be that much taller there is a horde equally eager to knock those bricks off the tower to hear the noise it makes when it hits the ground, or willing to do so out of sheer apathy.
But in the end, it's still worth it. Someone's going to catch that brick and put it back in its place. The tower will climb ever higher. Humanity is beautiful, if a bit stained. That's why I'm still Good.

Durkon isn't a spectator in his life just because he's not always the center of attention. One can have many roles at many points in life. People and dwarves are social animals.

Without the men who worked the off-stage microphones, Rocky would have been a silent movie. Without the citizenry, a nation is nothing. Without someone to make the tools and dig the marble from the Earth, there is no Michelangelo's David.

Humility doesn't make you think less of yourself, it helps you thinks less about yourself. There are other, valid things on which one can focus, things that are not "me".

So shut up, you parasitic soul-snatcher, because you aren't alive and never will be. You don't understand life at all. You're a mirror to it, but mirrors get everything backwards.

[remetagross]

Take a step back, and look at what kind of nonsense 3.5 charop can produce.

Can someone explain the philosophical and practical differences between these two wizards?

Stuffing a swarm of enrapturing insects inside yourself is a neat trick. (+0.5)

If the height is unconstrained, then this math changes and you get a tower of pig approximately 5986’ high.

Hmm, in fact, in this way Wizard cantrips are even more transferrable than Divine spells. If you research a new Divine spell, other casters can only learn it from you, IIRC, it doesn't just get added to their lists. But Cantrips do more than even this - they actually appear in all Wizard spellbooks, everywhere. Or, I suppose under a different reading, in any new Wizards that come into being after you've researched it.

There are implications for communication here.

Liches could start aggressively researching cantrips to piss each other off even though their preparations mean they can't actually find each other (and probably don't want to meet if they could).

Cantrip: "Szass Tam says Screw You, Mellifleur" (creates a lukewarm cup of tea in a chintzy cup)
Cantrip: "Mellifleur sends his regards to Szass Tam and wishes him the worst of possible days" (irons and presses all your clothing)

Echolocation: Can detect things around via sound

Byakugan: The Hero gains +1 Armor per Skill by using their 360 Degree Tremorsense. This does not replace their vision, and so their heat sense is still active. This ability does not detect silent images, though illusions incorporating sound may manage to fool it. Sound waves may echo around corners and so too does this sense. Xankz can see as far as 60 ant lengths distance.
Assuming Black Garden Ants average size of 0.6 cm, this would mean he can see 36cm distance with this.

No, my username is not about flapper, mine is making fun of flappybird and minecraft

You don't convince by proving someone wrong. You convince by showing them a better way to be right. The difference may seem subtle or semantic, but I assure you it matters a lot.

Technically Flap you and PT both are my unit of measurement for how cheesy something is. 1 Flap/PT is something way too cheesy for use in standard play.

“You know what I noticed? Nobody panics when things go ‘according to plan.’ Even if the plan is horrifying. If tomorrow I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot or a truckload of soldiers will be blowing up, nobody panics because it's all part of the plan.

[Casimir-Ivanova]

As part of a reference to Terry Pratchett's Interesting Times, I decided to make my signature a list of three absurd things my Godbound character has done, and then finish with "He once bought an apple." Facts that did not fit due to letter constraints.

"Lifted a small section of godless heaven-plain out of it's own realm to create his own personal super-heaven where his followers could create divine beauty all day long."

"Challenging an Ancient Ent Godbound to a fistfight sans the use of any godpowers, and managing to knock the Ent down to Righteous Fury level singlehandedly despite being poisoned.

"Charging an ENTIRE orc horde while blazing like the sun, before healing the rest of the party while tanking damage."

"Convinced the Goddess of DECEPTION that he was actually female." (still not sure HOW I pulled that off.)

Now I don't have the showy tricks of the god of artifice (he's building a pyramid), night (political acumen), or endurance (made the best beer in town), like the gnome, drow and half orc respectively in my Pantheon, but I can hold my own. :P

Entries

Award count: 6 HM, 8 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze, 1 successful joke build, 6 other.

• Round XVII—Ardent Dilettante: Aesc Duan Dee [1] [2] (Honorable Mention)
  My very first entry, and it took Honorable Mention, which is still quite often my goal. Ardent Dilettante is all about trying all the things, so I made a build that had one level each in ten different classes (and ten levels in the SI). I also had no levels in Bard or Factotum, and no levels in any base classes that grant casting, despite the SI requiring both arcane and divine casting in order to finish it. I made a couple errors, but honestly, if I were to do it again for some reason, I'd keep the fundamentals in place.
• Round XVIII—Unseelie Dark Hunter: Ogar (Bronze)
  When I refer to a build as being "dense," this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. I have a very strong memory of needing two people and a spreadsheet to make sure that I could fit in all of the prereqs for all the many different build elements I had in here, and I have a similarly strong memory of having a grand total of two skill points "free" (meaning that I could change them without breaking something) within the first eight or so levels. Anyway, this is a build that culminated in my beloved "tower of bears" trick: the character could turn into a bear and simultaneously turn her mount into a bear, and the two bears then got free (stacking) Intimidate checks, which could make something Frightened. So not only is it a tower of bears, it's a tower of bears that you're mechanically compelled to run away screaming from. You know, in case you were thinking of not running screaming from an unexpected bear tower.
• Round XXIV—Tactical Soldier: Char Sorrel (Also-ran)
  My first also-ran build, and I'm not going to argue that it deserved better. Tactical Soldier is a catastrophe of a PrC. I threw out at least two or three builds getting to the final entry, and the final entry was basically an extended lament about how bad the class is and how everything it does is done better and cheaper by ToB. The fluff (an illiterate warforged who couldn't read his copy of ToB and who therefore had to learn other, substandard tricks) was likely the best part, but that's not saying much, especially since this was basically a protest build. This build didn't deserve anything more than it got.
• Round LX—Acolyte of the Ego: Benjamin Nutt (Gold)
  Yeah, 36 whole rounds went by between Char and Benjamin, but my real-life job at that point left me way the hell less free time than I needed. Still, packs of wild dogs couldn't keep me away from entering a round with a Truespeak-based SI. I think my story here may just be the best thing I've ever written. I know it's not tasteful to laugh at one's own jokes, but I honestly still sometimes get a chuckle out of the idea of a "band of marauding Truenamers" terrorizing poor Commoners. I don't want to brag too terribly much about taking my first gold here, but I'm pretty sure that if I entered the Truespeak-based Iron Chef round and didn't win gold, I'd have to commit seppuku or something.
• Rougnd LXVII—Gnome Giant-Slayer: Jagt (Also-ran)
  Another one of my also-rans, and once again, I don't think I deserved much better than I got. I don't really recall why I thought this particular build was entertaining enough to submit, but sometimes you've just gotta do something. The basic idea was to focus on the skill bonus parts of Favored Enemy to make a gnome who disguised herself as a very small giant and infiltrated giant society to bring it down from within. Yeah, I don't know what's so great about that either. The only particularly noteworthy bit was finding a way to mimic Rock Catching as a Small critter.
• Round LXX—Order of the Bow Initiate: Li'l Brudder (Bronze)
  Sometimes it's possible to make a protest/joke build that's intended to win Honorable Mention but ends up taking a proper medal. Li'l Brudder is an example of such a build. OotBI is a famously bad PrC whose prereqs mean that you can make a minimum of three shots on a full attack by the time you enter—and then the signature ability requires you to spend a standard action making a single attack for some reason. Desperate to find a reason why anyone with those prereqs would ever bother using Ranged Precision (the signature ability in question), I came up with the idea of a character who had 0 max HP. At 0 HP, you see, one is staggered, and staggered characters cannot take full-round actions like making full attacks. Therefore, Ranged Precision will be the best thing that such a character could do to attack, and therefore I'm properly using the SI! Yes, this is completely absurd on its face. It's every bit as stupid as it sounds. As I said, this was totally a protest build that was intended to get some laughs and hopefully get Honorable Mention, but somehow I managed to accidentally do well enough to squeak out third place in a hella crowded field of sixteen entries! Also, somehow I only tied for having the lowest Power score that round? With 0 HP? I don't understand how that works. (And yes, the name is indeed a reference to that Li'l Brudder. He can make it on his own!)
• Round LXXII—Spellfire Channeler: Harror (Gold)
  This was a seriously fun round with some really good entries across the board. Spellfire Channeler gains charges of spellfire by draining magic items or by absorbing spell effects. This build had summons that could cast absorbable magic at her and also had infinite mind blades to drain for semi-infinite spellfire charges, which I maintain is pretty clever. Also, let this be an object lesson to aspiring chefs: sometimes the smallest details, even fluffy ones, can push you over the edge to victory. After deciding that the build would involve charging up off of disposable mind blades, I decided that it would be hilarious to invest as many ranks as possible in Perform: Sword-Swallowing, at least partly so I could include the line "she just smiled [. . .] and took another bite of her sword" in the story. The scores in this round were really tight. The final judge's Originality entry for Harror simply read, in its entirety, "Originality: 5. Sword-swallowing. (+2)." That happened to be just the margin I needed to edge into first place and stay there! Lesson learned: those cross-class ranks in Perform were super well spent.
• Round LXXV—Thief of Life: Cocus Ferrea (Honorable Mention)
  Sometimes we succeed simply by making the build at all. This is such a time. The signature ability of ToL is the ability to basically kill something and absorb its life force into you (hence the name). I realized that it was actually possible to enter the SI as early as level 2, and then I realized that I absolutely needed to make a story about hunting down other previous Iron Chef winners and eating their souls. So I submitted another "1×10 + 10×1" build where I had one level in Rogue, ten levels in the SI, and then one level each in nine previous ingredients, with the idea being that I took the level in each other SI after eating that SI's gold medalist. Have you ever tried qualifying for a secret ingredient? It's never easy. They always have horrible prereqs. Have you ever tried qualifying for ten secret ingredients? With zero bonus feats and 10 INT? I have. Even if you don't win after doing something like that, you feel like a damn monarch. Go ahead, break that record. I dare you. Your Latin is probably better, though.
• Round LXXXI—Serene Guardian: Opsablepsia (Honorable Mention)
  This was a weird build that really got away from me, but I'm very happy that I got it in, because I'd had the stub in my head for years. According to the board game Balderdash, the word "opsablepsia" means "the inability to look someone in the eye." After learning that word, I had the idea to make a character of the same name whose basic concept was to see how many gaze attacks I could shove into one LA 0 PC. Unfortunately, my real-life games never ended up being at an appropriate level to make this particular build idea work, and gaze attacks are finicky anyway, so I shelved the idea for a long time. When I realized that Serene Guardian rewards you for doing lots of individual pings of damage every round (ideally to as many enemies as possible, as long as each enemy you care about receives at least two or three separate damage packets per round), I knew that I finally would have a chance to bring this character to life, so I did. The prereqs for a lot of things I cared about were really ugly in the middle, so I basically had to rewrite large parts of it with a machete at the last minute, but I still took HM, which I consider to be a win. I mean, it's not often that you see someone based around a definition to a crazy obscure word, right?
• Round LXXXIX—Thrall of Demogorgon (build 1): Fra'alstog the Bold (Honorable Mention)
  Iron Chef is all about making gold out of crap, and sometimes that works better than others. We always have to put on our game faces and tell the judges that our builds are strong and viable and not dead weight in a party facing level-appropriate challenges, but that isn't always true. That said, somehow I managed to convince myself that this build would be remarkably playable. ToD is a weird class to optimize because its abilities are so scattered, but I cobbled together something that I think holds up on its own. It uses a few tricks that I've liked using in the past (applying damage bonuses to ability damage, combining the Mauling Gauntlets with the harpoon to get a weird form of BfC on a non-caster, using Ordered Chaos on an Incarnate to double-dip on bonuses, etc.), and I think it might have gotten a medal other than HM if Elder Evils hadn't changed the prereqs on Thrall to Demon, which is the most transparently "we just want you to light a feat on fire" tax feat this side of, well, Willing Deformity.
• Round LXXXIX—Thrall of Demogorgon (build 2): Speeloxhuu (Gold)
  That said, Speeloxhuu is almost certainly my favorite Iron Chef build I've made to date. It was almost definitely the most fun to construct. It's relatively rare for me to go balls-to-the-wall silly (Li'l Brudder notwithstanding), but with Speeloxhuu I decided to go big or go home, and it somehow worked. The esteemed Venger referred to the ToD entries as “high camp,” which I think is perfect for Speeloxhuu. For the duration of the whole weekend I spent on the build, I couldn't stop giggling like a madman over it. It's a tiny-sized muckdweller who has levels in Soulborn and Truenamer, slaps on the standard ubercharge package to ping-pong around nonlethally murdalizing people, then abuses the extremely abuse-friendly sacrifice rules to summon demons to graft raw chaos onto his flesh, all while his muckdweller familiar does the same sacrifices. I kept giving him more and more over-the-top titles, kept making the build stupider and stupider, and kept just pushing the envelope farther and farther, and apparently I did it right. I submitted two builds to the same round (which I basically never do) and I was using a Truenamer-based build with tricks straight out of the Naughty Words section of my own Truenamer guide, so I wanted to take precautions to disguise my style, hence the disdain for capital letters and the inconsistent affectation of non-American spellings. Also, Speeloxhuu has twenty feats (nineteen of which are selectable), which I feel like has to be some kind of record for a character not using the Dark Chaos Shuffle or other methods of arbitrary feat-generation.
• Round XCI—Fatemaker: Memyadu, the Spell Embezzler (Gold)
  I really didn't expect to walk away with a medal after this round. Fatemaker is a really, really bland PrC that feels like a janky Dragon Magazine base class that you have to wait until you're ECL 6+ to enter for some reason. The chassis is very similar to a Spellthief (Sneak Attack, 6+INT skills, and CHA-based casting of arcane spells up to 4th level, though Fatemaker's list is awful), so I decided to use Master Spellthief to basically turn it into a real Spellthief with slightly better slots per day. I used Mage of the Arcane Order to gain access to spells that aren't terrible and used stolen spells to pay back the spell debt. I have an unnatural fondness for potions, so I made Quick Potion and Delay Potion a cornerstone of the build, which seemed to work. Perhaps most surprising about this entry is the fact that I broke two of my cardinal Iron Chef rules ("don't use LA" and "finish the damned ingredient"), but I still pulled ahead of the competition. The whole round is worth reading, though—we had some great entries!
• Round XCII—Eye of the Xanathar (build 1): Lurinella d'Jorasco (Gold)
  EotX is a class that looks like it does a lot but actually offers very little. The restrictions on its abilities are baffling. One of its only unique abilities is Perfect Sneak Attack, which lets you make a single melee attack as a standard action, but that single attack is guaranteed to be a sneak attack (against a non-immune foe), no flanking or denial of DEX necessary. We already went through hell in the Order of the Bow Initiate round to deal with "precision damage on a single swing as a standard action," so I didn't want to do the same joke again. I realized that PSA could be used to trigger both sneak attack and skirmish, which is usually difficult on a non-invisible character, so I threw together a Swift Ambusher chassis and bolted on EotX. Snap Kick makes the single attack slightly less single, but I needed a way to make the kick count as a sneak attack. I'd been looking for an excuse to play with the unarmed attack feats from Oriental Adventures for a while, and this seemed to work! I'm genuinely surprised that no one else did the same trick, but I'll take it. EotX's other allegedly big feature is a pile of really weak and janky fake "eye rays" that are underleveled and interfere with PSA, but they count as spell-like abilities, so I just dipped into Nosomatic Chirurgeon and burned them for Inflicts instead, which our one judge approved of. It was a risk, but it paid off.
  Perhaps more importantly, what made Lurinella fun for me was that I was explicitly and intentionally trying to copy the style and format favored by Darrin, another Iron Chef regular (and a darn good builder). I didn't have a reason for it other than trying to see if I could do it. Everyone was fooled, though, so I seemed to have succeeded!
• Round XCII—Eye of the Xanathar (build 2): Thack O'Grugnord (Joke build)
  I've submitted joke builds before. You probably just got done reading about some of them. Thack is the most hardcore joke character I've ever sent in. I recommend you go read the build for yourself if you haven't, because I think I lay out the insanity pretty well there. Go ahead, I'll wait. You're still here? You really want me to explain the joke? Very well. EotX gets "Know Alignment" as a spell-like ability. I couldn't find Know Alignment in the 3.5 PHB. Or the Spell Compendium. Or the 3.0 PHB. Long story short, it appears to be a 2e spell rather than a 3e spell (the 3.x versions being Detect Evil and the equivalents, most likely). The class is so janky that it gives you a spell that no longer exists! So I knew I had to have some fun with that. SLAs can be used for crafting, so I tried to think of an interesting item that could be made with an ancient spell, but since most printed 3.5 items require 3.5 spells, I was only able to come up with stuff like scrolls. But scrolls can be scribed into books, and Archivists can learn any divine spell they can get in their book, right? So we can have an Archivist learn it as an actual spell. Okay, that's great and all, but why do we care? Here's where I went totally insane. Shaper of Form has a delightfully abusable ability called Like Begets Like that lets you turn a nonmagical item into another nonmagical item of approximately the same material and size/weight. It's like a diet PAO. I laid out the (insane and probably not RAW) argument that you can use LBL to turn a prayerbook with one 2e spell into a prayerbook with a different 2e spell. (I mean, honestly, a 2e spell isn't a "material," so a GM who buys that might buy that you don't need to get Know Alignment in there in the first place, but this isn't a serious build or a terribly serious argument.) Once we get books full of 2e spells, we then need people to cast them, so I used the Charm Person ability of EotX to qualify for Mindbender in order to get enchantment tricks to convince other Archivists to learn these insane old 2e spells. There's no real point to this except to make people laugh, but it DID make people laugh, so that's a win in my book. Our beloved Chair Heliomance declined to post witty commentary along with the builds this round, but she couldn't stop herself from adding "WHAT THE HELL EVEN IS THIS" to Thack's post. To quote georgie_leech's reaction, "I vote it at least gets an honorary mention in Dysfunctional Rules thread. Maybe a statue. A book crying in the corner or something." I don't think there was an official award of HM this round, but the reactions were positive, so I say mission accomplished!
• Round XCVI—Oozemaster (build 1): Cindy Yoht (Honorable Mention)
  What can we say about Oozemaster? It's a class that you simply cannot play straight. So I basically didn't try to. I was inspired by the Amulet of Ooze Riding in AEG, which does exactly what it sounds like. Oozemaster lets you become immune to oozes, but that honestly didn't pan out. What did pan out was using its ability to arbitrarily squeeze into teeny-tiny spaces to dive into an ally's guts and heal and buff them from the inside out, all while using Mounted Combat to make Ride checks to negate attacks on the ally you're riding around in. The squeezing ability explicitly bans expanding while in a constrained area, but it doesn't ban chillaxing in a constrained area without trying to expand. Yes, this is as stupid as it sounds. Also, Oozemaster has a bizarrely large number of nonlethal options for its signature "oozy touch" ability, so I made Cindy an Apostle of Peace and eked out 9th level spells. You know, because being symbiotic incandescent hippie jelly is definitely a normal build concept.
• Round XCVI—Oozemaster (build 2): Humperdink d'Kundarak (Gold)
  Cindy was the super-Good peace-loving Oozemaster; Humperdink is super-Evil, devoted to an elder evil, and loves making use of corrupt spells. What kinds of corrupt spells? Well, lots of them, because he takes advantage of really, really poor wording to become immune to his own effects by turning into an ooze that he's immune to. Again, yes, this is stupid, but Oozemaster really doesn't give you a lot to work with. He's a Wu Jen, so of course we get some body outside body shenanigans online: not only is it a great thematic fit (oozes split, after all!), but it lets you become a one-man Splatoon throwing green slime grenades around and ruining people's days. Fun stuff! This was another build that took gold not so much because all the judges loved it but more because one judge really hated every other build other than this one, but hey, whatever it takes. That's how relative contests work! But as advice to aspiring chefs or current chefs seeking to improve, you don't ever want to talk yourself out of something fun, but there are indeed times when the best way you can proceed is by making sure that you're not the one who goes into extra-aggressive penalty attraction mode.
• Round C—Swiftblade (build 1): Quick Man (Also-ran)
  This was my attempt to turn not just a Mega Man character, but specifically a Mega Man character as interpreted by The Megas, into an Iron Chef build. Considering what a mammoth VGM nerd I am, this is arguably one of the most on-brand builds I've ever done, and one of the hardest to explain to an outsider about why it speaks to me directly. But it does. It's a VGM song in build form.
• Round C—Swiftblade (build 2): F.A.S.T. (Silver)
  Took nine years for me to get a silver! Bronze and gold, but not silver. Anyway, I wasn't even trying to hide my identity here. I just dove into truenamer (it qualifies for swiftblade!), threw in references to linguists and Japanese commercials and stuff, and let my freak flag fly. Word Given Form is super obnoxious to build around, but I argue that when it works, it works beautifully.
• Round CII—Blade Dancer: Minerva (Also-ran)
  Honestly pretty surprised that this build didn't do better, but hey, I don't have to be the star every time. This is, to be blunt, my spin on the classic Hood build: get Jump up to ridiculously high levels, then abuse Battle Jump to get multiple charges on a simple move action. Mantis Leap didn't often show up in the original Hood discussions because it's hard to get, so that was my attempt to be unique here. The name Minerva comes from Fire Emblem, specifically Fire Emblem Warriors: the character Minerva is a dragon-rider with a dive-bomb attack that, if you know what you're doing, can be spammed (despite it clearly being intended to take a few seconds to get up to speed), allowing "dragon bombing" as you just bounce up and down and deliver OP levels of devastation in a wide spread, all day every day. Considering that this character is a dragonborn and definitely involves dragon bombing, that seemed appropriate.
• Round CIII—Psion Uncarnate: The Tapestry Whale (Gold)
  This build. Just... this build. I was disgusted with the ingredient, really. It's so stingy with its abilities. It gives up so much compared to the base entry. It acts like it's doing you a favor letting you get a pathetic touch attack a few times a day or go incorporeal for one minute at a time. I couldn't think of a single serious entry, so I decided to protest by taking levels in berserk and just being a whale 24/7. But then it turns out that being incorporeal is pretty nice for a whale. And since I needed to have equipment to take advantage of the SI's ability to use equipment when incorporeal, I needed fabricate to ensure that I would have the proper armor. And once you have fabricate, everything looks like a raw material. Also, the way things worked out, I had mass cloud mind to make it so that only certain people could perceive me. So I just started brainstorming ridiculous things to do with fabricate, and I ended up turning into a riff on a Santa Claus / Tooth Fairy / Easter Bunny figure who phases into your room while you sleep and upgrades the tapestry you left out. And for some reason this... won? I don't understand, but I don't think anyone else did either. It was a fun build, even if it was mostly a protest!
• Round CVII—Insidious Corruptor: Cap'n Calwyn (Gold)
  Insidious corruptor is a weird class. 5/10 casting but you need a (typically) 5th level spell to get in, so even the fact that the class features are decent doesn't play well with any traditional entry. I qualified by using an aberrant dragonmark rather than typical spellcasting and went for an almost martial build full of feinting and sneak attack. Calwyn is a pirate captain who conscripts her crew through a combination of magical manipulation, the SI's abilities, and good old face skills (Bluff/Diplo/Intim). She's actually a riff on a 4e character I played for a long time, who was also a half-elf pirate captain with a dragonmark who used creepy emotional manipulation on her crew. It didn't start out that way, but once I realized the similarities, I leaned in and it ended up working out! I had to take a flaw to qualify for the SI on time, and if the judge had noticed, that almost certainly would have knocked me down to silver. I listed it twice, though—not my fault if a judge doesn't see it!
• Round CXIII—Tattooed Monk: Corentin (Honorable Mention)
  Honestly, this build doesn't feature strongly in my memory. I was mostly trying to get as many attack rolls per round as I could so I could force as many saves as possible against the OA spider tattoo (for CON damage) and Touch of Golden Ice (for DEX damage). Final result was something like primary/haste/iterative/iterative/flurry/snap kick/claw/claw/claw? Don't ask about the to-hit bonus, of course. I'm not sure why this was notable enough for HM, but I'm never going to complain about HM.
• Round CXI—Watch Detective (build 1): Mitra (Also-ran)
  Man, watch detective was a tough nut to crack, since it really doesn't get anything interesting after 2nd level. This build was mostly me going ham with some weird fluff—I ended up making a Vow of Peace goblin with levels in dungeon lord who acted as a prosecutor to put marauding adventurers on trial after they crashed through her dungeon slaughtering innocent citizens. Didn't really need many levels in watch detective, but so it goes. I'm proud of the story I wrote to go with it. And after all, dungeon lord is a weird enough class that it was fun to sprinkle it in!
• Round CXI—Watch Detective (build 2): Yiana (Also-ran)
  So the thing about watch detective is that it wants to solve crimes but it has a code of conduct that forbids magically-gathered evidence from being used. So that means that you want to find evidence without using anything supernatural. The incredibly bizarre class jordain vizier has an (Ex) ability that basically lets you go full Sherlock Holmes based on just scraps of information, so pretty much the entire build was just trying to find ways to mash these two classes together despite their prereqs being really, really not friendly together. The fluff on this one kind of made sense—my idea is that the watch detective's code makes more sense for a defense attorney than a prosecutor, so I set Yiana up as sort of an unofficial counterpart (though I didn't explicitly link their stories) to Mitra, above.
• Round CXIII—Celebrant of Sharess: Korson d'Kundarak (Silver)
  CoS was a puzzle box of an ingredient. You get a fast-advancing familiar that doesn't stack with anything. You get rage and pounce, but half BAB. You get spells, and you also get "flirtation" abilities that are basically bardic music but that don't work with bardic music feats. Of the three active branches (rage/spells/flirtation), you can only use one at a time; there are explicit rules that you can't cast or flirt while raging and you also can't cast while flirting. (Also, the class is clearly some dev's ex, which is kind of creepy.) I did a deep dive into what you CAN do while using the flirtation abilities and ended up with a mishmash of skills (Disable Device for sabotage, Sleight of Hand for theft, Craft: Traps for booby traps) on a shadowcaster base? It was bizarre, but I think I do a decent job of explaining it in the write-up. Also, I'm pretty sure I got Originality points for picking a burly and stereotypically masculine-looking pic when the writers clearly expected you to be female, so I'm happy about that.

Judgments

• Round XIX—Dread Pirate [1] [2] [3]
  Nine entries is a lot, and it got hard to differentiate them after a while. I was pickier about presentation and language-related elements then than I am now; I still have some opinions about how language works, but I'm no longer as eager to take off points for spelling errors as I was back then. Truth be told, I feel kind of bad about that now; I appreciate it when people write like I do, but unless it seems like I'm being deliberately trolled, a minor error here and there likely shouldn't be the determining factor in your build's score. Either way, this was likely my first time using my worn and trusty phrase "it's very nice, but what does it do?" That's one of the worst feelings I can have while judging a build. Me saying that to a build is kind of the kiss of death for it. Also, this is the round where I learned that high-skill classes are a nightmare to judge because it's so hard to keep everyone's skill points straight.
• Round XX—Incandescent Champion
  This round came about as a direct result of me requesting it, so I kinda felt compelled to judge. In retrospect, I'm not 100% certain if that was a good idea. I love the concept of the class, but it's bad enough to be an ingredient and it's really hard to do anything with it. I've certainly never succeeded in doing anything with it, after all. It's bad. But since I like it so much, I think I was a little harsher than is entirely fair.
• Round LXV—Thunder Guide [1] [2]
  It seems that the worse a class is, the more I have to say about the entries. To quote Deadasadoor's immediate response to my judgment, "well that was an essay." Thunder Guide offers basically nothing of value to work with, but it did result in the inimitable Kole Naerrin, which is one of my absolute favorite dishes I've ever seen.
• Round LXXI—Silver Key
  One of the only SIs I've ever seen used in a live game, so judging was fun. Incidentally, passive ingredients suck.
• Round LXXIII—Flux Adept [1] [2] [3]
  I'm pretty sure this is my longest judgment to date. I kind of hope it's my longest ever, because it took for freaking ever. [Update after Hoardstealer: Nope. Not the longest ever. Spoiler alert.] I think I basically couldn't figure out what the hell the SI is supposed to do and therefore just kept talking until I had some idea of what I was looking at, but I hope that I was thorough and cogent (or close enough).
• Round LXXXVIII—Arboreal Guardian [1] [2]
  I have a lot of respect for the folks who got something in on this one, because it totally stumped me. Admittedly, none of the builds blew me away either, but they're way better than the non-entity I failed to submit.
• Round XCIII—Hoardstealer [1] [2] [3] [4] Criteria
  Holy hell this was so long. SO LONG. About 31,872 words. How did you come up with TWELVE builds for something as stupid as Hoardstealer?! How did you all do that?! This blew my length record (previously Flux Adept) out of the water. Unlike my last few judgments, I didn't spell out every quarter-point here and there after every sentence; I just said a million words and then gave a single number at the end. It felt pretty weird in places, but this already took me like three weeks anyway, and I know it would have been longer otherwise. The builds here were extremely varied. This is likely to be perhaps my broadest score spread, or close to it. I don't know why I do this to myself. You all had better believe that I love you and I love this damn competition.
• Round CX—Rage Mage [1] [2] [Criteria]
  This was my first time back in the judging seat after grad school took that ability away for two years, and it felt good, despite being a ton of work. This was a fun round with a good variety. Many of the builds had at least one really glaring "oh no, it doesn't work that way!" flaw that made me rely really hard on One Mistake, One Penalty to keep from giving them a really bad score, but there was a lot of creativity on display and it was neat to see the different angles people approached from. This was a good round.

Third Time's the Charm: Sometimes you let the cards lead the way. Every Three nights you may perform a reading. (The first use of this may be any night). When you perform a reading, you randomly use one of your four powers on your target. This use does not count against your single use and having used the power already does not prevent it from being activated by this power.

If you die during that phase, that player also dies. You may not use this power on the same night you use Playing Cupid. Playing Cupid: You have a knack for figuring out who's compatible with who, and setting them up to have a little private time together. Each night phase, select two players. At the end of the night phase, those players will be placed in a private chat. You may not use this power on the same night you use Blackmail Material.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds 13.12.2022 - 16.12.2022	Xihirli	Turn One / Main Phase 2: Rex Goodwin (Neutral)	Lived to see the end.	Town	Kalin Kessler – The Survivor: Once the leader of Team Satisfaction, a self-policing force in the Satellite composed of yourself, Yusei, Jack, and Crow, you were put in prison by Sector Security.

Neutral	Hidden Truth: Once per night, you can send me a short text describing the death of a random NPC to be posted at the start of day. You may hide some truth in this text, for example a hint at your role or action, but not your alignment. Once per game, you can ask me to reveal the hidden truth. I will reveal your hints and confirm them as the truth. –– The Trader You are the Trader, neutral. You win by scoring three points before the game ends. Ironically, all this unrest is good for your business. Everybody wants to buy something, some want a charm to defend against evil, others prefer a book containing secret knowledge and again some others want a weapon to slay their foes. Tempting Offer: Each day, target a living player to offer them one of the items mentioned above. They will receive this offer at phase change and have time till the dawn of the next day to accept the offer. If they do so, they gain one use of either a protective, an informative or an offensive power, depending on your offer, while you gain a point. They will learn your identity, but not your alignment, on a successful trade. You may only trade once with each player and can’t sell the same kind of item more than twice.

Book Wombat randomly got both of the original things with RNG

Bookie continuing to be amusing as neutral, I can't vote him in this game at all I think.

You know what makes this worse?
I don't know what would be more weird, your claim being true or it being a lie...

And the bladescape kill wasn't even on purpose...

This was one of my favorite moments in the game. So funny. (I did feel a little bad for the wolves at the time, but since they didn't lose anyone afterwards... )

Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life. - Robert Louis Stevenson

My extended sig:

There is nothing more emblematic of this forum than three or four pages of debate between people who, as it turns out, pretty much agree with each other.

It's for the position of Party Organizer. The northern gods get together every century or so and have a big party together (during which they also like to bet with one another), and one of them is selected every millennia to organize them. Currently, the organizer is Thor, and he likes parties with lots of beer and mountains of sausages, and Loki is angling to replace him next time the post is up for grabs because he much prefers parties with drinks with "funny" double entendres in silly glasses with umbrellas in them, and small bite-sized foods stuck on toothpicks.

The vote is slightly offset from the actual millennia because no-one thought they needed the position when creating the world 2.0. It wasn't until 16 years into the task that they felt they needed a bit of a break, and that's when they first voted.

As to why start his campaign to get elected so early, it turns out that Loki is of the same mindset as Cato the Elder, and feels it the best policy to end up all speeches with this.
