Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
All right, that sounds good...can I have links to your characters and their exhibition fights? I'd like to see them and their tactics so that I can start the planning.
Also, Phoenix? No Cerembrancers, please. I can DM for anything lower than a powerful Tier 1, but....
And 9mm...if you would prefer to use one of your other characters, I'm sure I could scrounge up an earlier build for an exhibition.Last edited by Olo Demonsbane; 2010-05-02 at 02:40 PM.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
Based on most of your ToS entries, Olo, I think I'd be outgunned if I signed up.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
oh he's not that hard... you just need to trick him into killing himself.
finals is nearly over so if your up to fights I'm down with that, but Yojimbo has been in the waiting room for a full fledged dungeon run since the first thread.Last edited by 9mm; 2010-05-02 at 02:54 PM.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
Sorry to chime in again, but I got feedback from the guy who submitted the build with racial hit dice, and he's still interested in playing, so a definitive ruling would be nice.

Lagren: I took Livers Need Not Apply, only reflavoured.
DocRoc: to?
Lagren: So whenever Harry wisecracks, he regains HP.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
@Doc Roc
No, it's nothing like that. I guess it's best if I put things like that in a spoiler.
Spoiler
Just in case Yitzi wishes it to remain unknown He intends to play an ogre. As the race offers nothing but a STR and CON Boost, I think it should be ok'd. But my experience with martial builds is pretty minimal, so I may underestimate what he can do.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
I gave the thread a good read and tought it would be really awesome to be part of something like this, but I think if I build one char to play this he would be like, Tier 5, 4 at tops...
Still, if I want to, how do I do it? Just sign up the form and wait for an answer?Inner fear is your only enemy.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
Yep, that's how it works. Be aware though that checking the character sheets sometimes takes very long, and there are still some unchecked sheets from last september.
You can also ask people if they want an exhibition fight, those are made with unchecked characters.
It's no problem to submit a character who fits in a lower tier, many people have builds across the whole power spectrum and will fight a Tier 4/5 build.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
Hey Olo, that proposed character is ready! :D
EDIT: Well, mostly, he's gotta get a few items.Last edited by PhoenixRivers; 2010-05-04 at 06:15 AM.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
Hopefully, over summer, sheet checking will pick up considerably, but for now, what Aharon said holds. Exhibition matches are really pretty bread-and-butter, and we do watch for mistakes made in matches in progress irregardless of their standing as qualifiers or exhibitions. As a result, I think you'll be fine. Tier 4 characters are a lot of fun, and can produce some of the most interesting matches. I think every regular has at least one in the 3 or 4 range.
Welcome aboard!
That's a fine thing.Last edited by Doc Roc; 2010-05-04 at 06:53 AM.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
Hello. I'm working on my first build for entry and have a question for the DMs.
Spoiler
Q: According to the rules, all 3.5 books are allowed. Does this included official web material? If so, what is your stance on the Substitute Powers ACF for ardents? Specifically, I'm trying to get dimension door.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
Hey, I'm down for that, though I designed him more as a team player than a one man-show.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
He still needs to win a qualification before he can go on to the dungeon.
Here's a match.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
What source allows a Psicrystal to manifest powers in it's own right? I'm working on re-working Shinji Ikari, and he is going to be much nastier than previously.
Quicken Power, Twin Power, and Schism are still on the menu, right?SpoilerQuite possibly, the best rebuttal I have ever witnessed.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
We really haven't had a lot of issues with stuff other than persist. Twin's been problematic on some SoDs, but not hugely so.

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
Twin's mainly problematic on stuff that gives extra actions. Otherwise, it's a +4 Metamagic...

Re: Test of Spite [3.5]
I have a specific tactic I want to try. A rather different approach to a Nova...
Spoilered for GM's to validate my tactic:
SpoilerBasically, round one is going to be spamming Psionic Dispel as many times as possible to drop opponent buffs. Most of the ToS opponents are not naturally immune to mind-affecting, although many have some sort of buff which gives them that immunity.
With Quicken Power and Schism, I'll have 3x Dispels at my disposal, with the possibility of more if I can figure out how to get my psicrystal to chime in. With a Bead of Karma, and Overchannel, that'll give me enough effective manifester level to be able to have my schism hit them with the maximum modifier on my dispel check.
Twin Power would have been more effective than Quicken, because I would have been able to manifest Hustle to get my Psionic Focus back, since Quicken eats up my swift action. But I can deal with Quicken.
Hopefully, with three or four dispels, I should be able to negate whatever means they have of being immune to mind-affecting, which is really Shinji's primary form of attack.SpoilerQuite possibly, the best rebuttal I have ever witnessed.
