Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground LVIII

[Tim Proctor]

I am not answering specific questions about scores, I wouldn't suggest that you build around anything that you think it isn't super cool.

[Irk]

Heh, good advice.

[Kreuz]

I usually juggle ideas until the last day, rush to write, and end up never completing the table and missing the deadline.

Now that the forum code for tables has changed, I came up with a code generator, based in the post Southern Cross made with the new table.

The generation program is less than optimized, but it's been years since I programmed anything. I made sure to pretty it up a little, though

I couldn't find a way to upload files here, so here's the mediafire link:

Iron Chef Class Table Format Generator

It is a standalone HTML file; at first I wanted to make an executable, but I always end up with library problems with those. Hope it is useful for the Chefs.

You are literally a god. this ought to be included in every competition.

[OMG PONIES]

You are literally a god.

Literally? Which domains does he grant?

[sideswipe]

Literally? Which domains does he grant?

Community Domain
Competition Domain
Creation Domain

[Kreuz]

I don't know... is there a domain that encompasses lazyness, productivity and procrastination?

[sideswipe]

I don't know... is there a domain that encompasses lazyness, productivity and procrastination?

that is the sideswipe domain. granted power - 0/day you have infinite power and drive to do something great. but you know exactly how to do it! this may not be enchanced by any means.

spells .... meh

[The Viscount]

Sloth Domain, which has the domain power of negating penalty to AC for melee while prone. Honest truth.

[Irk]

Literally? Which domains does he grant?

Not sure, all of my ranks are in Craft (basketweaving), I neglected Knowledge(religion).

[Kazudo]

The general consensus is that LA Buyoff is somewhat unfair due to granting you additional XP (if you look at it that way). Your best bet is to craft your build as though it weren't an option, then include a version in an "adaptations" section in your build which remarks on what should change if LA Buyoff is allowed at a given scenario.

[Vaz]

I think I've possibly got one of my best fluff ideas for a build so far. I'm really enjoying writing this one up. I have a few other ideas, unlikely I'll get further than stub phase.

[Deadline]

I figured out a way to make my initial idea work (albeit slightly less neatly), so now I just need to hurry up.

[Kazudo]

Mine's somewhat done but I can't seem to get it written up all the way. For some reason my give-a-crapometer is registering about a 4 craps/hour these days. I used to be able to pull off 20-30 cph.

*sigh* maybe I need my crapurator replaced.

yeh i know how you feel.

though since this is my first time cooking i am taking a very long time doing everything.


just to double check we have another 31 hours right?

Do what you love man, don't force it. Also, they fewer people who enter this round, the better my chances of scoring well.

[dysprosium]

I can relate about crapometers. A terrible weekend has done plenty of damage to my psyche.

Maybe I will get it done in time--if not I'll post the idea after the reveal. If I don't get an entry submitted in time, I hope I can find the time to judge.

[Kazudo]

fixed that for you.

[Sian]

yeah ... while i had a fair few ideas about how to build it there is two big issues i have with the SI this time around ... its hard to make something that aren't plausible to be Vizzini worthy ... its hard to find enough inspirational motivation to push through ...

[Kreuz]

I am done thinking my 2 ideas different enough to not affect each other. The result... is beautiful.

Now I have to write...

[sakuuya]

Welp, I have a build and I was hoping to work on fluffing it out over the weekend, but instead I got induced into labor a month early. I'm fine, and the baby's fine, but I don't think either of us have time to enter this round. Good luck to everybody who's entering!

So you're saying motherhood is more important than an internet game for no money?

Congratulations.

Congratulations! I'd say that's a pretty good reason to sit out this round My wife is due with our first in a month, so I suspect I'll be sitting out if next round myself...

Oooohhh.... New prize!! Whoever wins this round gets a baby named after his/her character entry!!
Or...perhaps not.

Congratulations!

[DeAnno]

I managed to actually submit something! Now I'll probably get to see it crash into 5 or so other similar builds :P

Congratulations sakuuya!

[Tim Proctor]

Congrats!

On a complete side note, what's better +2 AC deflection static or +50 Temp HP a day, at level 10?

So you rolled up a level 1 character instead, eh? Congrats!

The generic phrasing makes your question difficult for me to answer intelligently. Care to share any other specifics?

I was debating between a Ring of Protection +2 vs the Greater Iron Ward Armor Crystal... but decided that a +2 Large Steel Shield, a +1 Ring of Protection, and a +1 Amulet of Natural armor was better. The problem is that he's a monk in full-plate and a shield looks stupid (It's a non-optimization campaign you can see the sheet here), and last session I got ROFL stomped by a Barbed Devil when level 9 because the fighter/tank couldn't make a will save and sat there under hold person for 7 rounds.
