Villainous Competition XX​II: I Am The Night!

[White Blade]

I sent in a submission! I realize now I titled it wrong, but I should probably revise it in the morning with some notes on power adjustment before pressing forward.

[Telonius]

I'm taking the silence as a good sign, in this particular competition?

ninja'ed ;)

I'll admit to not being well enough to get any of my ideas made.

Swordsage! That's what my build's missing!

[Telonius]

Well, the fewer submissions we get the more powerful they'll be.

[Buufreak]

Well, the fewer submissions we get the more powerful they'll be.

Hopefully we end up with quite the opposite.

[ben-zayb]

Well, the fewer submissions we get the more powerful they'll be.

We have a winner, folks.

[Florian]

Throwing the towel on this one.

[Hackulator]

My entry is pretty much completely done in my head other than a couple feat selections, but I have realized I don't care enough to take the effort to write it down.

My ninja mind poison is working

[GrayDeath]

Well, I do have an idea, but given that its most likely only powerful enough if we get at least 7 submissions (and I am far FAR from good on the way).....^^

[zlefin]

how is initiator level calculated for monsters without classes; i.e. they just have racial hit dice?

I reckon they have an initiator level = 1/2 HD

[Technetium43]

Okay, submitted my build. Not particularly happy with the depth of my writeup, but better this than failing to submit... again.

[zlefin]

I'd have thoguht there'd be a reduction from using straight half racial hit dice; that could let some of them get powerful maneuvers earlier than they were intended to be available.

RAW RHD stop giving initiator levels if you take levels in an initiating class, because of

If you lack any martial adept levels, your initiator level is equal to 1/2 your character level.

and

If you are a multiclass martial adept, ... determine your initiator level by adding together your level in that class + 1/2 your levels in all other classes.

interacting.

But really, it doesn't. Unless you are using PF rules for CR = ECL (which isn't how this comp works, PF is barred), you still get things at nearly twice the level initiators get them at.

[SoraWolf7]

I'm sad to say that I'll be dropping out of this particular competition. I was working on my build today, and I just wasn't happy with the idea that had so excited me. With today being my only day off between now and next Tuesday, I just won't have the time to put together another build and do it right.

[Buufreak]

Small note I just found: The Pirate round is thumbnailed as round 20 in the OP.

[Telonius]

Good lord, the Elder Evils have been boarded!

[Inevitability]

No it's not I don't know what you're talking about.

[zlefin]

I'm likely to drop out; now that I started getting into the nitty gritty and checking out all the numbers, there's a whole lot of weirdnesses which it's unclear how to handle for the build and which would require adjudication or making a guess on a ruling myself.

[alpine]

Inevitability, your PM box is full.

[Thurbane]

Inevitability, your PM box is full.

Indeed so, as I just discovered.

[Inevitability]

Inbox has been largely emptied. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I hate to be extension guy but my internet connection has caused me to lose the work done on my entry. Would it be possible to leave it open a day or two?

Would anyone else be interested in an extention, or would anyone be particularly opposed to it?

Spoiler: Chuck Norris Approves

Show

[Thurbane]

As keen as I am to see the reveal, when I was chair I was usually open to allowing people a little extra time to finish up, so I'd be amenable to an extension of up to 2 days...

[Inevitability]

Very well. The deadlines will be extended by two days.

[Inevitability]

The reveal will be extended by one more day. No further extensions shall take place afterwards.
