Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
So now we have two Samurai.
The False Balance Fallacy
The tendency to interpret the rules, not based on any validity with RAW or logic, but that which makes the game (in their eyes) more balanced.
This tendency is often fueled by the incorrect belief that the game is balanced or the desire for it to be.

On Friday I'd be available after around 4:30 EST, though ColorBlindNinja is welcome to take first crack at it.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
Viscount, I think you have some items that violate the "no custom item" rule?

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
I saw the items, he only combined printed items and those that occupied the same slot. It's not as much custom items as much as it is using magic item slots to their full potential.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
I don't really have a problem with it, most DMs I've played with allowed that and as shown by his character neither does Viscount. But anyone think this is ok or should it be disallowed?

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
That doesn't answer the question of whether you think it SHOULD be allowed though lol. The fact that you're one of the builds doesn't mean you can't vote on things like that, this isn't a player/DM dynamic. We're all working together to come up with things, I'm just trying to manage stuff since I started the thread.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
Ah. I had wondered if that would be allowed.
That's fine, the cloak of minor displacement is just for some miss chance and the gauntlets of heartfelt blows are just for faster damage. I'll get rid of them and just have the normal items. Sheet updated with those changes.
What's the verdict on Tumble? I can change that, too, if it's a problem.Last edited by The Viscount; 2017-07-20 at 12:30 PM.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
I nabbed tumble as a class skill by trading ride via Skilled City Dweller. It's an ACF, which might be crossing the "variant rule" parameter?

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
In most conversations I've been a part of, "variant rule" tends to mostly revolve around the wonky stuff listed in unearthed arcana that alters the way the whole game plays (spell point/recharge magic, Item familiars, bloodlines, etc.) ACFs and Racial subs tend to treated as a different subset of rules than "variant"

Update for Sammy the Samurai; I had the wrong version of Warning, and so I've replaced Eager.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
Yeah, acfs aren't variant rules, that means like spell points and fractional BA and stuff.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
I would like to formally request no prebuffing before the fight. Neither of us has any buffs from class features, so it would all just be item use.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
Then why does it have a logo on the front cover saying that it's 100% official material? (Or at least, issue #330 does).
That's fine, the only thing I have that would count as a buff is my Force Helm Soulmeld, and it lasts until I choose to unshape it.
Edit: Or until it gets dispelled.Last edited by ColorBlindNinja; 2017-07-20 at 04:09 PM.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
That's completely acceptable, just like a soulknife choosing weapon properties, that was done levels ago. My concern is using magic items immediately before the fight.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
I would request that you not. While the horn of plenty is something that has a long duration, it also requires an uninterrupted hour in order to prepare, which I would say goes against the the Test of Spite style arena fight that we have going.

Re: Samurai vs Soulknife: The Ultimate Showdown
Then I'll see where else to get immunity to fear from. Any ideas? Basically on 12,000 GP budget
