Water
I'm making a Dread Necromancer Walker in the Wastes, using the Arcane Disciple feat to bridge the gap between the two classes. The only think I'm really worried about is getting rained on and having to deal with water (walkers in the waste are affected by normal water as if it were holy water). That said, is there a good way to basically not get wet when you can't sidetrack the sources of water yourself (I.E. having it rain on you or getting a glass of water thrown to your face)?
aka: what magic items can keep all water away from me and make me fully water proof?Last edited by TechnOkami; 2010-09-20 at 11:15 PM. Reason: more detalied context to get people to help me by knowing what I actually want

Re: Water
Would a ring of deflection work?
I've had characters use Ring of Force shield as an umbrella...
Or, if you want to slide a bit out of the way...
I don't have the link at the minute, but Magical Hydrophobia, IIRC has an option where instead of gaining a feat, you gain the ability to repel water.Life is a gamble, roll the dice. If your life is like cards, rig the deck.

Re: Water
Hm. Either or would work. The hydrophobia would be interesting to RP into the character, I'd just like to know where it is.

Re: Water
Carry a parasol!
SpoilerDM: "Sunder the wall?! WT**** kind of tactics are these!?"
Me: The kind that armies have been using for millennia.
DM: They didn't do it with swords!
Me: Which makes us so much cooler.
Player: Where are the babau in relation to everyone else?
Me: They're right behind you. Vesil is covered in Loki's blood. That is their location in relation to you.
Player: I was just wondering about a fireball.

Re: Water
What about an umbrella with a wand inside which is snapped in half?

Re: Water
That would be interesting... especially since my concept of a Walker in the Wastes is like an Egyptian mummy. Oh yeah, mummy with a parasol, whatcha gonna do?

Re: Water
The trouble with a lot of this stuff is that the water doesn't disappear when it fails to hit you, but forms an ongoing environmental hazard with the ground, and seeping into your shoes, and splashing and all that. My recommendation is basically a rubber body suit if you can get one, backed by enchantments as necessary.

Re: Water
Yes. Do it.
Have all your wand-parasols in varying styles of black on black, and then, have a perfectly normal one that you use on holidays (ancient holidays that no one has celebrated for thousands of years, of which you give hilarious names and purposes, and that seem to crop up every time there's downtime of any kind) that is bright pink with white lace frills. Profess that this was the color of celebration back in your day.
Become extremely offended if someone mocks your pink parasol.

Re: Water
I don't see why you couldn't have some Spellstitched Penguin Ghouls or something. Wrap them in bandages for added aesthetic appeal.
Rest assured that, were some poor fool to trudge to the top of a sand dune and be met with the sight of a Lich-Mummy wielding a pink parasol, in his galoshes and black three-piece suit, followed shortly after by a mob of mummy-penguins adorably waddling through the sand, there's a good chance they'll just give up. There's not much point in fighting it by then.
Obviously the penguins interest you, because you're from a desert, and they're also from a desert - just an issue of hot/cold. And they're just cute as buttons, aren't they? Don't waste an opportunity to point this out as you meticulously and maternally secure their wrappings (and bow ties, and monocles, etc, of course) every morning.Last edited by Xefas; 2010-09-21 at 12:55 AM.

Re: Water
The Shape Soulmeld feat can give a character the ability to walk on water. That will help against areas that are flooded.
Finding some sort of item that repels water at least for a few centimeters shouldn't be too hard.

Re: Water
The hydration suit from Sandstorm is designed to keep water in- but might count as being able to keep water out as well.
