Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCIX
I still think all of Spinemeld Warrior's pompous titles make it a likely round 100.
Maybe Defiant?

Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCIX
Defiant would be interesting. I always thought blighter should let you trade in levels of druid like defiant and blackguard do.

Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCIX
Spoiler: Mordred's spellcastingHow does this all work. It is a specific reading, and it is headache inducing. Blame half casters like Hexblade, Paladin, Ranger, Spellthief, etc.
First a quote:

Option 2: You increase your caster level (again from CL 2 to CL 3), and since you are now CL 3 you put yourself on the Hexblade table where you would have CL 3 (level 6).
Option 3: You increase your “hexblade” level from 4 to 5, granting you nothing. No CL increase, no new spells per day, no new spells known, nothing.
To me the only fair way to treat the advancement from a prestige class on a half caster, is to increase their placement by 2 on the spells portion. This does not give them “early” access to spells. You need just as many caster levels to reach 4th level spells on a Hexblade in this manner as a wizard. You still get 4th level spells at CL 7. Same as Assassin and wizard.
I do not want to be a sore loser; I am bringing this up after the fact specifically because I do not want to argue about this for more points. I bring this up now because I want to see what others believe from information above. I can honestly see and agree with the reading that Quentinas used. It is a good RAW reading, however to me it is not the only RAW reading. If others believe it to be the only RAW reading as well then I will not use this type of combination in the future contests, however if you agree that my reading could in fact be a RAW reading I may attempt do something akin to it again, and it may inspire builds in future competitions.

Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCIX
The correct reading is option 3. The important part is the text just after what you've bolded "as if you had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level."
At every level that you would advance casting, act as if you took another level in your base class. Yes, for hexblade this means that you go from effective 4 to effective 5 and get nothing. This is why half casters have a hard time at life.Kolyarut Avatar by Potatocubed.
