    true enough. the others not so much though.

    well, none of them, really. some have intimidate, but none really centers around it.

    That reads to me as "none of the listed SI options will be considered a 'good choice' without complaint." Choosing the Secret Ingredient is fun, isn't it?

    It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.

    If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).

    The best answer is always to ask your DM.
    Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

    More random PrCs that might be viable candidates;

    Shadow Sun Ninja, Valadis Beastkeeper (possibly with changed entry req. to allow for non-Eberron adapations), Soul Eater (with clarification on how it functions), Runescarred Berserker, Ashworm Dragoon, Swiftblade.

    that's about all the 10 level, non-full casting, fun, relatively easy to enter PrCs that haven't been featured on IC I can think of right now. how about other people?
    The incredibly obscure Scorpion Heritor (Sandstorm) also gets 8+Int skill points/level, as well as full SA.

    Off the top of my head I'd love to see Wildrunner (RotW), Shadowmind (CAdv) and Fang of Sseth (SK).

    And bonus points for the horrendously bad Knight of the Chalice (CW).

    Ashworm Dragoon? Come on, that class is actually pretty good. And Swiftblade is actually actually good. Soul Eater's a fairly popular choice as well, so I doubt that one will be a Secret Ingredient anytime soon.

    Ashworm Dragoon and Swiftblade are both too good/popular to make good choices.

    Soul Eater has a huge can of worms with it, in addition to the "fear/debuff stacking shenanigans" complaint.

    Runescarred Berserker is hilariously hard to qualify by RAW in 3.5 (as in, you can't, if Curmudgeon's reading of the RAW is correct). Its "separate casting mechanic" is also one which has been specifically requested against of late.

    Shadow Sun Ninja also hits the "fear/debuff stacking shenanigans" complaint squarely. While it's the only ToB class I'd personally consider at all for the contest, any ToB class runs the risk of being considered "too good" for the purposes of Iron Chef.

    Valadis Beastmaster is a "separate casting mechanic" class, a mechanic which has generated specific calls against it of late. It also shares the issue with RsB of being arguably "too obscure".

    Additionally, I'm really, really happy with my current build for Justicar. I've got to make sure that I've got Skills squared away, but otherwise, the mechanics of it are set!

    I don't understand what you mean. could you explain?

    I don't think that anyone will look at the list I gave and say "that is going to give us an entry that's all fear stacking"

    I certainly don't want people to complain about my secret ingredient suggestions. you're the chairman, so the decision's ultimately up to you. I just thought throwing out a few that complied with Menteith's criteria might give us an impression of what chefs wanted to cook next time around (and what you thought might be fun)

    I am a huge fan of scorpion heritor. its tremorsense ability is awesome, and full SA for a 10 lvl prc is unprecedented besides assassin (I think) so that's pretty fun.

    I do question your assertion that sandstorm is more obscure than shattered gates of slaughtersdale though

    I'm not sure what you mean. do you mean "I don't think you'll be satisfied unless someone complains about the SI you have chosen" ? because that is not true of me. if you meant something else, what is it?

    my confusion is regarding your interpretation of my comment. did you feel differently about their intimidate/fear stuff? they're not really centered around it.

    as far as runescarred berserker goes, why is it impossible to qualify for? couldn't one take survivor, then buy 2 CC in local (rashemen) ? or is there something I am missing?

    If they have Intimidate as a class skill or another means of debuffing the opponent(s), they're likely to see use for "stacking fear/debuff shenanigans," particularly in the absence of full casting or a similar strong alternative.

    I'm not sure what you mean. do you mean "I don't think you'll be satisfied unless someone complains about the SI you have chosen" ? because that is not true of me. if you meant something else, what is it?
    That's almost 100% the opposite of what I said; I said that none of the options listed meet the metric of avoiding the complaints leveled against SI choices. I made no comment whatsoever about you, or someone else, not being satisfied until there was a complaint.

    my confusion is regarding your interpretation of my comment. did you feel differently about their intimidate/fear stuff? they're not really centered around it.
    See above regarding Intimidate. Merely having it on their Class list - and not having a strong incentive in the PrC to ignore it - means that at least one person is likely to build any of those PrCs with Intimidate/fear stacking/debuffing as a theme, which has caused complaint of late.

    as far as runescarred berserker goes, why is it impossible to qualify for? couldn't one take survivor, then buy 2 CC in local (rashemen) ? or is there something I am missing?
    As of 3.5, it is not technically possible to qualify for the Berserker Lodge feats without the DM houseruling for you, per Curmudgeon's interpretation of the RAW.

    I understand now. well, like you said, it's awfully hard to find classes with no casting/intimidate.

    ah, that explains that. thanks

    Yay, I'm important!
    I think that just having Intimidate as a class skill does not necessarily mean we'll get all builds with fear optimization. Kensai is a bit of a problem since it gets a bonus to Intimidate, so you either use it or lose points, since you're not using all parts of the SI.
    From the SI suggested, my personal favorites are Scorpion Heritor, Wildrunner and Shadow Sun Ninja - though I also think Shadow Sun Ninja could be used later, because it will cause a storm of fear-optimized characters.
    Amph, congratulations on being this open about suggestions, that's pretty cool.

    hey, you were the one who said what we were all thinking, that entitles you to a little recognition. too bad you didn't like any of my suggestions, maybe next time. I'd kind of like to roll up a scorpion heritor as well. that bonus against mind affecting is pretty sweet as far as feat taxes go.

    I really like twisted lord. I love the silly troll face he's making, I'm sure there'd be some weird things people would do with that class.

    Wow, that book is obscure! Even more so than Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde .
    heehee


    There was an entry in Round X, I believe (whichever round we did Blade Bravo) that made use of Twisted Lord--I think it was Moudo.
    oh, I must've forgotten.

    hey, what's the fastest from announcement to submission in iron chef? I tried checking the IC records thread, and I didn't see it there. I was talking about it earlier but have been unsuccessful while looking at the archive.
    I've got a new fantasy TTRPG about running your own fencing school in a 3 musketeers pastiche setting. Book coming soon.

    I do question your assertion that sandstorm is more obscure than shattered gates of slaughtersdale though

    Oh, I didn't mean that It's Hot Outside is obscure - I meant that I've never heard of a build that uses Scorpion Heritor.

    We've had one submission in +/- 3 hours, as I recall. It was under Prinny's watch.

    It's a pretty cool class, I've used it for NPCs a few times. In fact, a themed a whole tribe around it.

    I've used it in a pbp; but I only had one level and the game died before the first combat was finished. hmmm now I am tempted to build a Scorpion Heritor and submit is as soon as (if) it is revealed as a secret ingredient.

    And wow I just checked the Record thread and it went up to ICOCitP XV. Is anyone willing to re-start it?

    It's on the list of things I intend to do...right after updating the spreadsheet. TBH, it's fallen off a lot in recent rounds due to being busy with RL.

    Dang... I have the perfect idea for this competition, using almost all of the abilities beautifully, and I just know it's going to be using the same base class as at least 3 other entries. Hopefully the other elements of the build are going to make up in the Originality department somewhat...

    I feel confidant that no one else is dumb enough to do what I'm doing.
    There is the moral of all human tales;
    'Tis but the same rehearsal of the past.
    First freedom and then Glory - when that fails,
    Wealth, vice, corruption - barbarism at last.
    And History, with all her volumes vast,
    Hath but one page...

    I wouldn't be so sure about that. I've got a dumb idea too.
