    Also take note it doesn't say every individual must be within ten feet of EVERY other individual. 10ft cube? FEH! We can cover the hole of observable reality in them and still observe that rule even if we had to do so past formation. We don't. But it REALLY isn't a meaningful limitation.
    Most people see a half orc and and think barbarian warrior. Me on the other hand? I think secondary trap handler and magic item tester. Also I'm not allowed to trick the next level one wizard into starting a fist fight with a house cat no matter how annoying he is.
    Yes I know it's sarcasm. It's a joke. Pale green is for snarking

    So he has already violated his own infinite loop rules twice in the build already, and we haven't even gotten to the part of the build where he buys a Psicrown of Metafaculty which costs 614,750gp, presumably he introduces a third infinite loop in the form of Wished items.

    And how much of your WBL did you have before you bought that? After using the DCFS multiple times?

    Oh, and this is important:

    Metafaculty can defeat spells, powers, and special abilities such as screen or mind blank (or even a wish spell) that normally obscure clairsentience powers. You can attempt a caster level check (DC 6 + caster level of the creator of the obscuring effect) to defeat these sorts of otherwise impervious defenses.

    No, for every point of exp, it's 5 gold. If it doesn't have a limited number of charges, it's 500 gold per xp. That puts a command word activated item of metafaculty at 500,000 gold just for the exp, before the gold for the rest of it. For a command word item it's 9x17x1800 which is 275,400. That means your entire thing costs 775,400. Psicrown is only slightly less than that.

    "Unless otherwise stated, a psicrown has power points equal to 50 × its manifester level when created."

    So that's 50 uses of Metafaculty, which comes out to 25000 extra GP. So not 600k, merely 300k.

    Well I mean, I suppose you can always just Supernaturally Wish up more using the infinite loops that the Master of Shadows uses that no one else is allowed to use.

    He just won't accept his flawed entry to Dwoemerkeeper, we already established that Domain Access won't give divine spellcasting.

    Well, I helped erase his original character from existence. I thought i might as well try and help him rebuild by reminding him about the flaws that need to be addressed. And since we have other folks pointing out the Metafaculty problem, I thought I'd remind him of this one too.

    I know I'm hilarious, but not as amusing as you. I don't really think anyone in this thread agrees with you about whether or not I lost the duel, but it hardly matters. Your build is still illegal.

    And you still haven't defeated Khepri.

    See this? You've been doing it throughout this thread. Stop it.

    Personal attacks on other posters are uncalled for. Stop it.

    You're here to defend your build. That's fine. Do that. You don't need to call people "little boy" or things like that.

    You can do better than that.
    My headache medicine has a little "Ex" inscribed on the pill. It's not a brand name; it's an indicator that it works inside an Anti-Magic Field.

    Blue text means sarcasm. Purple text means evil. White text is invisible.

    My signature got too big for its britches. So now it's over here!

    Good to hear you're going to be reasonable. So, before you go on about tactics for countering any other builds, can we please address the issues with yours?

    Would you like me to list everything out again that's wrong so you can make a more concise attempt?
