Zinc Saucier 9: The fires of Hell have nothing on me

[motoko's ghost]

Alright, I've finished judging and seeing as no-one else seems to be judging I'll just give some general feedback, rather than trying to give scores.

You got bonus points in originality for using Snowcasting to make all your attacks do fire damage, however JPM was literally the first thing I thought of when I saw this ingredient, so you lost some there.

You lost some in elegance for the 1 lv dips and because your build seemed a little choppy at time.

You actually made a fairly powerful build with high level manoeuvres, spells and a good BAB progression.

And you manage to replicate the feel and abilities of the class in a neat-looking build.

I dont often see Lesser Zenthyr used, but as above JPM seems like a fairly obvious choice.

You had a 2-lv dip but other than that you build was quite smooth and flowed well, while still taking all of a PrC as it could.

You managed to replicate the pyrokinetist's abilities quite well and still made a powerful build that had a good background that fit with the classes and fluff quite well.

It was fairly close in my book but I'm going to give this one to;

Ervan Karenth
(won in 2 of the 5 categories, tied in 2 of the 5 categories)

[Aegis013]

I'm ok with being runner-up. His was quite good too.
I did like my cute trick though, lol, even if it required a dip. The choppy-ness of the build (especially at high levels) was to max out the benefits of ilvl and maneuver gains, since I've always been one to make mechanically powerful characters before elegantly built ones.

So, with one judge (hopefully we'll have more next time) the winner is:

Techwarrior with Ervan Karenth

Second place is Aegis013 with The Snowcasting Pyromancer.

Congrats to our entries, and those who were interested. The next round will be posted shortly.
