    MY CHARACTER ISN'T CLOUD! IT'S AN INFUSION OF CLOUD AND ME! WHY WON'T YOU PEOPLE SEE THAT!!!???
    I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

    I'm not joking one bit. I would buy the hell out of that.

    lol, I POSTED in that thread. And survived. Lots of people got scrubbed that day.

    Funny thing is, about a month ago, a guy with almost the EXACT same name posted almost the EXACT same thread.

    That one also went down in flames...

    So, is this thread done yet?

    Nope.

    Just checked.

    The inside is still pink.
    1. Have fun. It's only a game.
    2. The GM has the final say. Everyone else is just a guest.
    3. The game is for the players. A proper host entertains one's guests.
    4. Everyone is allowed an opinion. Some games are not as cool as they seem.

    That might just be a smoke ring. Or if it wasn't, it probably is now.

    Me: I'd get the paladin to help, but we might end up with a kid that believes in fairy tales.
    DM: aye, and it's not like she's been saved by a mysterious little girl and a band of real live puppets from a bad man and worse step-sister to go live with the faries in the happy land.
    Me: Yeah, a knight in shining armour might just bring her over the edge.

    Yeah, it had way more banned posters in it than the typical archive binge of that era.

    Not quite sure what Echoing does (not sure what book that metamagic feat is from) but two of these just don't seem to work together well... or actually up the damage at all.

    Well, Quickened means you can do 2 in a round...one Quickened, one not.

    Occular means you save it in your eyes, allowing you to release 2 of them in ray form.

    Echoing is in some Ebberron book, it recalls the spell back into your memory after an hour, but the next time you cast it, it gets -4 CL. Keeps coming back till your CL is too low to cast it anymore.

    Mmmmmm, smoke ring.

    I miss Texas.

    See that's the thing with Occular though is it makes you cast 2 as a full round spell. So it would be
    Maximized, Twinned, Quickened, Energy Admixtured, Empowered, Searing, Fiery, Repeating, Echoing Orb of Fire it
    Then
    Maximized, Twinned, Energy Admixtured, Occular, Empowered, Searing, Fiery, Repeating, Echoing Orb of Fire it twice

    Which is actually quite nasty and I don't want to encounter a mage who can throw down that much metamagic so casually.

    Could you do all of that meta-stuff to a Sonic Snap with Fell Drain?
