Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I'd like to sign up as a contestant if it isn't too late.
If it isn't, what are the rules as far as point and buy ability scores and determining hp?"Well, as Captain Leif Meldrock says in Mars Needs Lumberjacks, I'm ready for anything."

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
Can I have multiple whips? I believe that someone said that you can empower multiple weapons with your weapon aflame ability, but can i manifest multiple fire whips? Also, is AEG fair to use?

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I use average hp as suggested in the DMG. So if the hit die is a d8, it is 4 per die, 5 every second level. It should bring the total to an approximate average, factoring in the maximum result from the first die.
I'll try and submit a build, but all my concepts keep tanking. Ive gone through a couple of basic builds, but I'm finding it difficult to come up with something that emphasises the strength of Pyrokineticist, but does not suck for the majority of it's career. Having to start as a spellcaster for the Alchemy prerequisites is only part of the problem...

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I'm going to have to bow out. I have a build almost finished, but there is no way I'll finish a write up in time. My articulate side moves to slowly. I would like to try again in the future though.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I'm presuming Bolt of Fire is based on your Pyrokineticist class level, not "each class level the pyro has", which could mean just your level. Which would be CRAAZY.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
It does indeed refer to your Pyrokineticist level.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
We're officially into the last day of the competition now. I just hope I get that mass influx of last-second PMs that I've come to know and love.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
Naghhhh. Writing backstory, and filling out stat blocks. I have the build, and the plan, but do I have time to write? Well, with work tommorrow, it's going to be close. Oh well. Worst case scenario, I hand in what I've got.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
9 more hours til the big show.
I swear, it's so hot this week here and entering this just made it feel warmer.
Peaked at 106 yesterday (41 C). And I'm in north Georgia for Pelor's sake.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I'll try to get my submission on time, but I really don't know if I can do it.
This week I've been very very busy with yuyukai being held in my university, not to mention finals. I'd hate to skip on this, so I'll try to get back home as soon as I can to finish my build.

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: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I beat my head against this one for a couple of days and have been unable to come up with a decent concept, let alone a set of synergistic classes and PrCs. On top of that, I have to come up with something at L12 for tomorrow afternoon for my regular D&D game, and I'm having issues coming up with something for that, too. Adding to that the fact that I have entirely too much stuff to do at home, I have to bow out as well.
Unfortunately, the only thing I could think of to do was something like Rogue into Soulknife into the secret ingredient, and that would have been seriously lacking on power, never mind the lack of elegance or synergy. Nope, I'm going to pass this time around and see what everyone comes up with... Hell, maybe I swipe someone's build for use as my character in my regular game, provided the contestants don't mind too much.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
I ran through 4 different builds before submitting my half finished one. I'll post the basics of my other idea's later.
Unfortunately study is eating up a lot of my time at the moment. It made it hard to get focussed on optimization. However, I think this round was a worthy challenge. The pyro can go in a lot of different directions.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VIII
Yeah, the ingredient wasn't the issue for me so much as cramming it in with everything else in my schedule. After the builds are posted I'll share my idea. It's a single class entry :)
