Things you're able to do but shouldn't be able to.

[Jayngfet]

Well, after discussing it over with my DM on the side, he's letting me make a Frankensteins monster(who will also be an epic mage) and a Humongous Mecha(of course, he's saying it'll take time to get both together, so I can't cuse either right now).

Keep in mind this is a demonata roleplay, in a universe where niether of thse things are present.

So I was wondering, what kind of somewhat broken, absurd, or bizzare things have the members of the playground made.

[Stupendous_Man]

A bard who rickrolls the enemy

[Kris Strife]

A paladin who gets a free smite attempt on said bard.

[Oracle_Hunter]

Not mine, but in a 4E game that I sat in on, the Warlord had both Heavy Blade Opportunity and Deadly Axe, despite only having DEX 10 and CON 11.

The best part? He used both with his warhammer.

[JeminiZero]

A bard who rickrolls the enemy

Thats nothing, warlocks do it all the time.

[newbDM]

Thats nothing, warlocks do it all the time.

I'm disappointed. I expected to actually be rick rolled there.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

I'm disappointed. I expected to actually be rick rolled there.

Oh cruel irony.

[Paramour Pink]

Make a Wizard.

Make a Factotum.

Make a Tome of Battle melee class.

I think that covers everything I've heard is on the upper ends of power.

[Adumbration]

Thats nothing, warlocks do it all the time.

You forgot to link this one too.

[mabriss lethe]

create Robocop using the trap rules....

While it is implied, traps don't even need to limited to an actual object. so you could, while truly abusing the rules as intended, trap a living being.

4 first level spells (5 counting alarm for a touch trigger if you so choose.)

one feat

2000gp

160xp.

With this outlay, you can create a character with what is effectively a permanent +8 AC from Mage armor and Shield +20 on all attack rolls from True strike and a +30 ft enhancement to speed from Expeditious Retreat.

And I know, that is a relatively tame bit of trap abuse.

I had an artificer that made various lightning bolt staff-guns that then raised their victums as zombies.

I dunno, I found my "zombie ray guns" pretty amusing.


Then I made a gattling gun using Gust of Wind and Beads of Force. That thing was sweet.


Finally, a made a jet fighter (using the SBGB and a bunch of wonderous arcitechture) that permently flew in the eye of its own hurricane, shot disintegrate rays, had oriridium prismatic walls for its hull, gave its pilot true sight, etc etc. Campaign ended before I could finish making it nukes and crusie missiles.

[Talic]

Hmm... The hulking hurler that can destroy said mecha... with a rock.

The Were-sperm whale. That's it. Great Melville Novels with legs and claw attacks... Ahhh.

The unkillable troll.

Yup, Half-red dragon voidmind troll. Get a permanent Protection from X on it so it won't be controlled and there.

[Ascension]

I thought the invincible troll build was half-red dragon, half-(clay?) golem and lernean(sp?)?

[Tengu_temp]

Have fun, according to the way some people DM/play their games.

Make a Wizard.

Make a Factotum.

Make a Tome of Battle melee class.

I think that covers everything I've heard is on the upper ends of power.

Artificer. Cleric. Druid. Beguiler. Archivist. Even Sorcerer, Psion, Wu-Jen and Shugenja are more broken than ToB classes and Factotum.

The Were-sperm whale. That's it. Great Melville Novels with legs and claw attacks... Ahhh.

Dood, that's not "shouldn't be able to" material, that's awesome on a stick!

[Talic]

That can be done for true immunity, but you still have some instant death effects.

[Morty]

I once thought that Spell Penetration adds +2 to my spells' saving throw DC. I noticed that I'm wrong after I had won several fights because the saving throws against my Sleep spell were too hard for the enemies. My DM considered making me eat my character sheet.

[mindblank19]

Only works in v4, but still:

Mage hand can lift up to 20 pounds
A greatsword weighs less than said 20 pounds
Theoretically, you could make nonproficient greatsword attacks with a mage hand spell
Which makes dancing weapons unbelievably expensive since you could just do that to a +5 greatsword...

[Monstrodoom]

My DM challenged me to make the most ridiculous PC I could.

I forgot the end ECL, but I rolled a half-dragon, half-giant grig, minned out on height, maximal strength to start. The dragon half was a peppermint dragon, so its minty fresh breath weapon did half cold, half holy damage.

I was shooting for Awesome Blow.. whilst being a little under a foot tall.

Oh, and she was a paladin of freedom. mad saves, mad strength, mad charisma, the Stomp power operating off of Cha, Awesome Blow, and smitage.

Don't forget Cure Light Wounds (or an early Repair line spell) for healing!

But yeah, getting ten buffs with one free action, at-will, gets somewhat busted.

Which reminds me... load up on Psionic Tattoos (to the max you're permitted to carry on your skin), and give one to your familiar (or Psicrystal). By the book, when your familiar one more to you, they all go off. That's a lot of buffing all at once, although it's crazy-expensive.

[mabriss lethe]

Don't forget Cure Light Wounds (or an early Repair line spell) for healing!

I didn't forget, I was just pulling from the wiz/sorc spell list when I put it together.

[ShneekeyTheLost]

auto-resetting trap of Circle of Mass Heal. Party gets healed, undead goes boom. All day long.

Magical Trap (Circle of Healing) Audio trigger (whenever owner says a specific word or phrase), automatic reset (instantly). Cost 500 * Caster Level (17) * Spell Level (9) = 76,500 gp cost.

Even better, for infinite healing, do this with Cure Light

500*1*1=500 GP. For less than the cost of a Wand of Cure Light Wounds, you can have an unlimited number of Cure Light Wounds from an automatically resetting trap.

[Yukitsu]

True create a corpse.

Polymorph any object the corpse into a living being.

Knife the living being.

Dismiss polymorph any object.

Raise dead.

[Immutep]

I'm glad i don't DM for any of you guys But if you want nastily hard how about half fiend half dragon half elf with levels in assassin and blackguard?

[Yukitsu]

Why is that hard? LA makes it's death attack way too weak if you also want blackguard for some reason. Those templates go better on an orc, who is also a barbarian.

[mostlyharmful]

Plus their HP total will be less than the 8 con wizard after stat boosters and their casting will be allways sucktastic, their BAB will live in sucksville and their skill points/totals will suck (no skill monkey for you). +7 LA effectively makes an unplayable PC with anything close to a CR balanced group.

[Agrippa]

Dood, that's not "shouldn't be able to" material, that's awesome on a stick!

Um, whales don't have claws. Only slam attacks (tail and ramming). That would make contracting cetusthropy damn near impossible.

[hamishspence]

They do have jaws (and wolves don't claw much, so werewolf lycanthropy would generally be contracted via bite, if character was attacked by one in wolf form)

There is a species descended from orca lycanthropes (Medium- a bit smaller than you would expect, given orcas are Huge) in Stormwrack. Probably are to werewhales what Shifters are to werewolves.

I think Cachalot whales also have a bite. Though true, baleen whales really ought not have a werebeast variant- it does say most werebeasts are from aggressive, predatory, or at least omnivorous animals.

[Pie Guy]

Ow, my brain hurts I thought of a way.

[Ascension]

Though true, baleen whales really ought not have a werebeast variant- it does say most werebeasts are from aggressive, predatory, or at least omnivorous animals.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Werewhale krill.

[_Puppetmaster_]

There is the fact that a halfling can be a wererat swarm, turning into a rat swarm.

Also, the Craft rules let a person with 1 rank in Craft (weaponsmith) create an infinite amount of clubs or quarterstaffs in 0 seconds.

Riverine mixed with fabricate lets a person create an invincible wall .00000001 x -10^infinity inches thick, with the size of the wall increasing to HUGE proportions...
