    Seems fine to me. Are you aware that Contingency only activates once? you're just buying a True Resurrection in advance and paying extra XP and gold to have it auto-activate instead of hiring a 17th level cleric to follow you around.

    *FEAR with a Scrappy Pokémon who has been as their types screwed with to the point where weather and status problems don't hurt them is in poor taste and will result in attacks being directed at me.

    *Being able to pull off FEAR as a trainer when this happens is just wrong.

    *Using the new effects of Sturdy and a Shell Bell to keep doing this over and over is just asking for it.

    He said of a game were a guy can make a weird jesture and spit out a none-sense word while thinking of turning his foe into a bunny rabbit AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!!

    You need to play with my DM, he'd totally let it fly. (Granted the next time we see mist we most likely shouldn't assume it's normal...)

    * Cone of Cold will NOT freeze the mist into a small glacier and trap any creature that was in it.

    * Chain lightning will not conduct electricity through the mist and electrocute everything caught in it.

    * Water Walk will not let me bypass the area by walking over the mist.

    *No, not even then.

    I played in a game where a guy played a rogue/Lord of Silence(3rd party) named Higgs Boson. He had something like +70 to hide, and due to his class abilities could not be heard at all for the better part of the day. Throw in Darkstalker and a friendly, if morally bankrupt artificer PC, and he was absolutely undetectable to all but the most powerful spells(Discern Location etc) and the most esoteric senses(Lifesight, mindsight), and if the game had gone on any longer, he would have avoided those, too. Throw in Mostquito Bite, and an enemy would completely ignore him as he was stabbing their throat out. And, because just being undetectable is never enough, he could also sprint across continents, case dungeons in under a round, and with adequate preparation time, one-shot pretty much anything level-appropriate, if the term could really be said to have applied to that party. All at level 8.

    *Even if my club does charisma damage, not to call it the ugly stick.
    *Ommipotent pork swords only exist in my mind and the dungeons of dreadmor.
    *Wands are magical implements of great power, not dildos.
    *Even if that's all a wand of jump is useful for.
    *Not to use enlarge person to bellyflop on people.
    *Same with iron body, wildshape, and form-of-the-X.
    *The lost armlet of whatshisface was not behind the sofa the whole time.
    *Not to drag a cannon around to snipe dragons with.
    * Feather fall as a spell-like ability is not an excuse to launch the party out of catapults instead of walking.
    *If a siege weapon cannot fit into the door of a dungeon, I cannot have it.
    *If I use it to blow a hole large enough for it to fit, I still can't keep it.
    * It is incredibly crass to use reduce object on a pair of cannons so I can wield them like handguns.
    * Cannot use a bag of holding to survive being launched out of a siege weapon.
    *Cannot use ant haul, bull's strength, enlarge animal, and a team of donkeys to haul around a pile of loot the size of a small hill.
    *This does not mean I can do the same with a pile of loot the size of a large hill.
    *If I can survive indefinitely inside the stomach of a creature or construct that has swallowed me whole, not to hide inside there and snipe from inside it.
    *If I use a rope trick and Magnificent mansion to build a house inside of one, I will be attacked by dire tapeworms as thick as treetruncks.
    *Cannot use an undead variation and cut portholes and channels into it so I can fire out of it.
    *My first response to finding a forest, cave, or enemy encampment is not "Set it on fire."
    *This cannot be my second response after a paltry effort to do otherwise.
    * The D.M is still figuring out how I set the forest on acid, the cave on ice, and the encampment on sonic, but it is assumed I am also banned from doing that.
    *Cannot divert a river to clear out the location in question.
    *Cannot create a river with a decanter of endless water in the general direction of the encampment.
    *I AM allowed to use an avalanche, provided I do so in an area where there is actually snow.
    * Cannot abuse stone-to-mud to bury all my enemies in thousands of tonnes of the stuff.
    *Not to abuse the ridiculous wealth-by level of high-powered characters to just buy the place from under them.
    *No, you cannot use a lyre of tunnelling to undermine them.
    *JUST FIGHT THEM ALREADY!
    *Cure wounds or no, I still have to say sorry.
    *My character cannot have the stated goal of sleeping with each and every kind of compatible creature on the planet.
