I have thoughts, but they feel convoluted, weak and boring all at the same time.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
I have a couple deeply, deeply flawed ideas.
One of them is outshone by [REDACTED], and that is not something to be proud of.
I may have to dip into the weird stuff. More than usual. And even that might not do what I want it to do.In the Beginning Was the Word, and the Word Was Suck: A Guide to Truenamers

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
REQUEST FOR CHAIRIFICATION*
The text and the table are in disagreement with uses per day.
Table says that we get 2 uses per day at 1st and then 1 additional every odd-numbered level after that, up to 6/day at 9th level.
Text says we get 2 uses at 1st, 3 uses at 5th, and 6 uses at 9th.
They start and end the same, but they aren't the same in the middle.
We all know the rule is that text takes precedence over table. However, my counterargument: like, come ON, seriously?!
Thank you.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
Holy Blade bestows the Holy property
In this instance the table isn't really contradicting the text so much as supplementing it. I feel like I've seen other classes where increased uses don't get mentioned. Taking away the extras would disrupt the flow of the chart (plus, as you mentioned, come on). The table's uses per day are correct.
Yes.Last edited by The Viscount; 2021-10-01 at 10:05 PM.

Have to see if I can find my stub, but I had an idea for SBoH that I was fairly pleased with.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
I think I've found something, but I'm having a hard time not outclassing the class itself when trying to extend on the theme.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
After a bunch of iterations today I'm about 95% done with the crunch of an entry. Went through about a dozen changes I think. (Used my own spreadsheet and everything!) Will double check everything and then start the writeup. I don't think I can endure doing more than a single entry.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
... maybe bluff that you dropped your sword, and hope that the bad guys pick it up? It's cross class ranks, but there's a chance that it could work.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
I'm impressed at how awful this secret ingredient is.
I'm not sure which is worse - the actual benefits of the class ability (there is only one), the standard action activation (why?), or the fact that there's no real incentive to take the 10th level in this class over a level in basically anything else.
I'm looking forward to seeing what counts as a 5/5 for UotSI this round.Avatar by FinnLassie

Done and sent.
I'm pretty happy with what I have cooked considering...
What's that saying, "when a spell can outdo an entire class, the class is ..." ?

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
It's all about the action economy. It takes a free action to drop it. It takes a move to pick it up, and a standard to examine it.
Then, you ready an action, and when they figure out it's worthless, kick 'em in the crotch.
A longsword cost 15 gp. Fifteen gp and a standard action. That's resource management, at it's finest.Last edited by bean illus; 2021-10-04 at 05:34 PM.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
Not sure if you have to register as a contestant, but if you do, well, for the first time, here I go.
I mean, I'm really only aiming at seeing how bad my entry is, but hey. Have to start somewhere.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
I'm on the verge of giving up. I keep getting demotivated by how much effort I'm devoting into making really weak and boring features usable. I hope someone has found an actually interesting thing to do with the class, because I feel that I sure haven't.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
Well, I might have an idea, so I'll see if I can wrangle something together for this. It's probably going to be terrible, though.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXV
I have an interesting thing, but there are so many rules dysfunctions that it's confusing as all heck, and it still sucks because this class really really sucks.
