Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXXX
I was slightly ill last week. Nothing serious, but it and all these bad gateways didn't help me judge. For this moment I almost judge second entry. Hope things will happen quicker.
And while you are waiting my judgement I want to promote current round of competition where I'm the chair: Zinc Saucier: Ice-IX. There you can create emulation of Father Llymic's Brood Spawn.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXXX
While we're waiting for the judgements, a question to our chairman: have we considered Dungeon Delver as a secret ingredient? Crushing pre-reqs, middling BAB, skills you probably already had access to, and some shiny abilities like limited-use Augury, Blindsense, Trap Sense, and a situational bonus to Survival checks. I have multiple ideas for how to use it and I'd love to see it as the SI: I'm even willing to commit to judging the next round if that means we'll get Dungeon Delver the round after.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXXX
Oh huh, I actually participated back in that Elocater round (I think the build's in my sig), but all that must've completely slipped me by. Or I've forgotten, at any rate.
That said: we did Vengeance Knight not too long ago, some people are seriously talking about Dragon Samurai - I'm hopeful there's room for a truly terrible ingredient every once in a while.Creator of the LA-assignment thread.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXXX
My prime worry with dungeon delver is the reason it was pulled during Heliomance's tenure. The prerequisites are so demanding that it limits means of entry. I remember being a chef with ingredients like this and the difficulty in making a dish stand out.(the round with Initiate of Pistis Sophia sticks out in my mind, even though I didn't end up submitting for it).
Reservations aside, if there's enough people who want it, I'll put it on the list.Kolyarut Avatar by Potatocubed.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXXX
Without further ado. Judging!
Spoiler: Jae WesSpoiler: OriginalityCleric, Crusader and Ruby Knight Vindicator didn't surprise me (-0.75). As like your feat selection, maybe only Undying Fate and Divine Spell Power slightly did (-0.25). We have Lesser Aasimars every time (-0.25).
Your Gifts selection also isn't mind blowing. Well, Monstrous Thrall is interesting, but Animate Dead and Create Undead were literally two first spells I thought about (-0.25).
Total: 1.5
Spoiler: PowerOffense You are Cleric/Initiator. You give me only a few spells you use, but you anyway deserve good points here (+1).
Defense You are also good here. Not bad hp, possible good AC, all saves, but Reflex are ok, plus Aura of Perfect Order works for you. Also +1.
Utility Well... Broad minion options and cleric's spells give you good potential. Add to this Magic domain. But your own skills, mobility, etc. aren't mind-blowing. Give you +0.75.
Flexibility and Endurance Okay. You have enough spell slots, you have Maneuvers with recharge mechanics. Yeah, your minionomancy dependent on another creatures and it isn't good, but isn't problem either. Especially having in mind you have ways to get these "another creatures" by yourself. Give you +1.25.
And your minionomancy deserves another +0.25
Total: 4.25
Spoiler: EleganceYour build is very simple and coherent, but I could find something to quibble.
Aasimar, Lesser. First of all, you didn't source a lesser variant. Second, I always think Lesser variants create an uneven playing field and are strongly DM dependent (-0.25).
You ended up with Wis 21. You could Point Buy Wis 15 and get Dex or Int 12 and wouldn't have lost anything. But this itself isn't enough for penalty (-0).
Also you mentioned some items, but you clearly aren't item-depended, just have something to do with items (-0).
Multiclass penalty (-0.25).
And... that's all.
Total: 4.5
Spoiler: UoSIDid you qualify for SI? - Mostly yes. I only have some doubt about "peaceful contact with deity or its direct agents." I don't see this in the story (+0.9).
Did you enter SI early? - Yes (+0.5).
Did you finish SI? - Yes (+0.5).
Have you found some interesting combos involving SI abilities? Do you at least use them?
Advancing Spellcasting - You clearly use it (+0.15).Weapon and Armor Proficiency - You already have it (+0).Granted Domain - Yes, this domain is good for you (+0.15).Contact - Nothing (+0).Menacing Aura - Well, you mentioned Steely Resolve, but it actually doesn't work well. If somebody want to attack you, 5 hp pool isn't issue for him (+0).Godly Gift (1st) (Animate Dead) - You bypass material component (+0.15).Godly Gift (2nd) (Create Undead) - You bypass material component and casting time (+0.15).Godly Gift (3rd) (Monstrous Thrall) - You bypass XP cost (+0.15), and have combination with Gate (+0.2).Altered Appearance - Nothing (+0).Commune - You just have it (+0).Plane Shift to Deity's Plane - Nothing special (+0).Plane Shift to Any Plane - Nothing special (+0).Audience - You just have it (+0).Alignment Shift - You don't use it (+0).Mystic Union - It's useful if you found way to cast Polymorph (+0.1).Gate - You have some use of it, but no more than any other Divine Agent has. Bonus for combo with Monstrous Thrall is already granted.Skill List (UMD especially) - No specific use (+0).Do you use SI prerequisites or just take it and forget? - Here we can talk only about Knowledge (religion) and you use it to qualify for another PrC, but put in only one rank more. I give you +0.3
Does your entry thematically fit the SI? - Yeah, I feel it like a Divine Agent. Maybe not the greatest one, but thematically fit (+0.5).
Maybe SI makes your entry worse than it could be without SI? - Maybe you could make something with more cleric casting, but I think your SI balanced it well (-0).
Total: 3.75
Total: 13.75
Spoiler: EchoSpoiler: OriginalityYour entry method, original race, templates, Blighter, Rite of spellscale assumption, and less Nature's Warrior were very surprising (+1.25)! Warblade level - opposite (-0.25). Astral Tracking and Dragon Wild Shape are slightly surprising (+0.25), Heretic of the Faith, Frozen Wild Shape and Knowledge Devotion... I can see them coming a mile away (-0.25).
And your Godly gifts... You selected the most expected spells (-0.5).
Total: 3.5
Spoiler: PowerOffense Okay. You have 9ths. Yeah, Blighter’s spelllist isn’t the best spelllist of whole spelllistbuilding history, but isn’t worst either. Plus, you have Corrupt Spells and very well Domain. Most of all your spells looks very offensive while CL is too low, also you have good Wild Shapes, 16 BAB, one level of Warblade with all its goodies. It’s +1.25 it my eyes.
Defense Not as great as Offense, but still not bad. Okish hp, good 2 of 3 saves (but third is bad), potentially good AC, several useful defensive spells. Give you +1 point here.
Utility Again you have some spells, several knowledges, survival and track, useful wild shapes, but actually nothing mind-blowing (+1).
Flexibility and Endurance You have 4 Wild Shapes per day which is okay. You have enough spells and unlimited maneuvers. But you have some issues. Blighter's Deforestation is an unpleasant limitation for your casting. You risk being left without spells in some situations. Plus your Corrupt Spells' cost. It's not as smooth as you think (later about this) and Corrupt Spells are a big part of your power. Plus low CL reduces the effectiveness of your spells and increases the consumption of spell slots. Also I should mention that your most powerful tool - Wish will not immediately go on working revolutions in real game - you will need days or weeks to get all what you want from it (+0.75).
Plus I also give you +0.5 for Undead minionomancy and free Wish craziness.
Total: 4.5
Spoiler: EleganceHere you have problems. I even don't talk about breaking the game with the free Wish. Sentient DM could work with it. Of course you'll not have epic items, unlimited Rings of Three Wishes or even unlimited non-epic items. But yes, it's a pain in DM's ass.
And your story and qualify for Blighter... Yes, it's legal, but I easily imagine DMs who ban it or at least you will need to work with DM to adapt your character. You can’t use her out of the box. And these two issues together cost you -0.25.
Your formatting is creative, but it was hard for me to read your entry on smartphone (-0).
You can't get Crushing weight of the mountain at Warblade's first level.

Sorry! I like how you qualify for Iron Heart Surge and Mithral Tornado (+0.25).
Rite of spellscale assumption is a great find. It'd also be great if you source it. C'mon! It's your main shtick! And you call it "Ritual" not "Rite" which didn't make my search easier (-0.25).
Your Corrupt Spells and Undead WS... Well, your point is good, your trick works... when we talk about spells with duration. When a spell is cast, the possibility that at the moment when you should pay the cast you will be undead isn't fact and can't prevent casting. If the moment when you cast a spell and moment when you pay aren't the same moment!
Seething Eyebane - InstantaneousRotting Curse of Urfestra - InstantaneousTouch of Juiblex - InstantaneousForbidden Speech - intended be Instantaneous, I thinkConsume Likeness - intended be Instantaneous, eitherDeath by Thorns - InstantaneousEvil Weather - 3d6 minutesPlague of Nightmares - InstantaneousApocalypse from the Sky - Instantaneous, plus Undead aren't immune to Wisdom damageSo your Undead WS helps you with one Corrupt Spell of all your mentioned (-1).
Fangs of the Vampire King - revised in Spell Compendium and no longer is Corrupt Spell. Isn't a big deal (-0).
It is debatable how Undead Wild Shape works with Wild Shape modification feats. I see how some DMs tell you that you could shape only into skeletal cryohydra and skeletal dragons (which can't fly) (-0.25).
Apprentice feat. Firstly, you miss your two extra skill points.
Secondly:

Did you finish SI? - Yes (+0.5).
Have you found some interesting combos involving SI abilities? Do you at least use them?
Advancing Spellcasting - You clearly use it (+0.15).Weapon and Armor Proficiency -You already have all, but heavy armor which you don't look to use (+0).You showed me how Heavy Armor Proficiency is useful for you (+0.05).Granted Domain - It's your only domain, well, both are and second is very useful (+0.15).Contact - You just have it (+0).Menacing Aura - You just have it (+0).Godly Gift (1st) (Animate Dead) - You bypass material component (+0.15). +0.2 for combo with Blighter spell list.Godly Gift (2nd) (Create Undead) - You bypass material component and casting time (+0.15). +0.2 for combo with Blighter spell list.Godly Gift (3rd) (Wish) - You bypass XP cost (+0.15) and break the game (+0.5).Altered Appearance - Nothing (+0).Commune - You just have it (+0).Plane Shift to Deity's Plane - Well, Dweomerheart is interesting place and it looks like you have rare direct way to get there (+0.15).Plane Shift to Any Plane - Nothing special (+0).Audience - You just have it (+0).Alignment Shift - You at least use it (maybe), but it's pretty flavor (+0).Mystic Union - Nothing special (+0).Gate - Nothing special (+0).Skill List (UMD especially) - Nothing special (+0).Do you use SI prerequisites or just take it and forget? - You end up with 7 ranks in Knowledge (religion), but at least you have Knowledge Devotion both to benefit and to be a prerequisite for (+0.2).
Does your entry thematically fit the SI? - I'd say yes, but your idea of Wish abuse (while Velsharoon blinked and missed that probably) and your wish to overthrow your patron is slightly off point (+0.4).
Maybe SI makes your entry worse than it could be without SI? - Big No (-0)
Total:3.954.4
Total:14.9515.4
Spoiler: NavtejSpoiler: OriginalityI know about OA Shaman, I know about Mahasarpa existent, I have idea of entry via Fiend of Blasphemy with usage of Fiend of Possession, but you actually surprise me. Add here Abyssal Skulker (+1).
Some of your feats are boring, some are innovative, call it tie (+0).
Your GGs... Well, Wish is an obvious choice, but others aren't, another tie (+0).
Total: 4
Spoiler: PowerOffense You aren't very offensive, nor your spells, nor your mundane options. Yeah, you have IUS and claws, but your BAB and damage aren't something to write home about (+0.25).
Defense That is another matter. You have enough defending options. Good AC, great saves, okish hp, etherealness, some spells. Give you +1.25 points.
Utility You are great here! Good spells, good skills, FoB's Transfer SLA, Mindsight, Darkstalker (+1.5).
Flexibility and Endurance You are slightly low on spells and only 3 Trickery Devotion uses. But you don't have heavy specialization and are ready without long preparationю And "anything we cast in the Spirit World will be Extended and Empowered" also good for you (+1).
And +0.25 for free Wish craziness.
Total: 4.25
Spoiler: EleganceOutsider traits, Tanar'ri traits
No detailed rules are given for any specific deities in the Mahasarpa setting.
Interaction of Transfer SLA and 1/week SLA is another RAW yes, but you need to talk with the DM thing. And this one is highly likely to not be approved (-0.25). If somebody asks me I ban this idea.
Mystic Union might seem useless to us, outside from the welcome DR playing nice with Goad. However, it also makes it so that we can now be raised or resurrected, which was not previously the case
Despite this outsider status, a divine agent may still be brought back from the dead if slain.
That's all.
Total: 3.75

Did you enter SI early? - No (+0).
Did you finish SI? - Yes, but only at ECL 20 (+0.4).

Advancing Spellcasting - Yes, for two classes actually (+0.15).Weapon and Armor Proficiency - Well, it isn't essential for you, but you use it (+0.15).Granted Domain - You use Trickery domain (+0.15) and trade it for useful Trickery Devotion (+0.1).Contact - You just have it (+0)Menacing Aura - Yeah, you use it (+0.15) and have combos with Trickery Devotion and Goad (+0.5).Godly Gift (1st) (Divination) - You bypass material component and casting time (+0.15) plus you use it to qualify for Fiend of Blasphemy (+0.5).Godly Gift (2nd) (Geas) - You bypass casting time (+0.15).Godly Gift (3rd) (Wish) - You bypass XP cost (+0.15) and win the game (+0.5).Altered Appearance - Well, in your case it is useful (+0.15).Commune - Okay, you don't do something really new with SLA itself, but you try to get more uses with Transfer SLA (+0.2).Plane Shift to Deity's Plane - You have interesting uses in addition to useless for you base effect (+0.2).Plane Shift to Any Plane - Nothing apart from mentioned in PS to Deity's Plane (+0).Audience - Nothing (+0).Alignment Shift - You use it and use it very well (+0.15).Mystic Union - Nothing special (+0).Gate - The idea of Spirit World gives your Gate great versatility (+0.15). Also combo with Geas and Transfer SLA (+0.2).Skill List (UMD especially) - You get UMD, and also some Disguise, while not doing something special with them (+0.1).Do you use SI prerequisites or just take it and forget? - You put ranks in the Knowledge (religion), but don't do something special with it (+0.2).
Does your entry thematically fit the SI? - Yes. Only issue is free Wishes as I mentioned for Echo (+0.45).

Spoiler: Schroedinger's TibbitSpoiler: OriginalitySha'ir, Tibbit, whole idea of using Fabulous Cats's deity Schrödinger are very original in my eyes, Malconvoker not so much (+0.75).
Some of your feats are interesting, some unexpected, some aren't (+0.25).
Gifts... I’d be lying if I said they were expected, maybe Foresight because of the Knowledge domain (+0.25).
Total: 4.25
Spoiler: PowerOffense You aren't great in direct combat, but you could do something with your spells, while your spells also aren't very offensive. Of course planar binding is a thing (+0.75).
Defense Bad saves, I can't know your hp, but it doesn't look great, too, as well as I don't know your AC, but it looks not great, either. At least spells give you some options (+0.5).
Utility This part is better. Your own spells are aimed mostly at this, you have some skills (while I'd be glad to see more), and planar bindings are ones of the best utility options (+1.25).
Flexibility and Endurance You have a good amount of slots and if you have enough time you could get a broad variety of spells (+1).
Also I give you +0.25 for your necrotic minionomancy.
Total: 3.75
Spoiler: EleganceWhere are your stats (-1)?
Lunatic insight. First: it's [Tainted] feat and
It costs you -0.25 points.
Second:
My interpretation means that they are class skills for every class thereafter. But I could be wrong.
Landlord... Why? Just why? -0.25 for dead feat.
Malconvoker with 4 ranks in bluff? Really (-0.25)?
Spellcasting progresses to allow planar binding so hello there efreeti with your three wishes per day.
Your skills. I really want to know how many ranks you put in skills when leveled up and which are cross-class.
At 4th level you allocate only 3 ranks. At 5th level - 5 ranks. At 8th, 19th and 20th level you up Diplomacy as class while it isn't. At 9th and 10th - use only 5 ranks.

Spoiler: IagoSpoiler: OriginalityDuskblade and entering via Death Delver are your friends. Warblade and Contemplative aren't. Primordial Half-Giant also isn't a big surprise for me (-0.25).
Feats. Metamorphic Transfer, Martial Study, and Heretic of the Faith are boring options. Elder Giant Magic is new. It's more negative than positive (-0.25).
Your gifts... I didn't have a Magic Jar in mind, but Miracle and especially Wish were there. I clearly didn't expect both (-0.25).
I don't mention Bloodline itself because I consider it illegal. Yes, it surprised me. As like d20 Modern Smart Hero would.
Total: 2.25
Spoiler: PowerOffense You aren't good on offense. No real mundane attack and damage despite you're having Power Attack, spells... you are Death Delver... Not great spell list for damaging/debuffing, while there are several options. Other opportunities include weak Breath Weapon, pet dog, two Maneuvers. Yeah, Magic Jar proxy slightly fixes the situation, but it's very situational (+0.5).
Defense It's better. Yeah, you miss 3 HD, but you managed to make your saves good enough and Death Delver's spells are more defensive than offensive. Plus you have some AC potential and resistance from bloodline and protective abilities from Death Delver (+0.75).
Utility Useful buff option, good skills, Alter Self+Metamorphic Transfer combo, mobility via Shadow Blink, all this sounds good (+1).
Flexibility and Endurance You have good enough CL for your spells, you have unlimited Invisibility, but you have too few spell slots, only 1 per day Alter Self and using Elder Giant Magic during the fight is challenging (+0.5).
Free Wishes are free Wishes (+0.25). Free Miracles are free Miracles (+0.25).
Total: 3.25
Spoiler: EleganceOkay. Let's start with the hard part. Bloodline.
I thought to say your entry is completely illegal firstly, but ended with only -2 penalty.
And Bloodline again. You don't count your Bloodline levels for Bloodline abilities for some reason (-0.25).
You have cross setting materials, but not in the amount that would be an issue (-0).
I don't think you are still able to use Elder Giant Magic to improve spell-like abilities after Mystic Union (-0.25).
Total: 2.5

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXXX
Part two!
Spoiler: Ghrond IronhandSpoiler: OriginalityPaladin of Slaughter entry is surprising. Warblade and Human aren't (+0.25).
Mounted Combat feats, Mad Faith and Mage Slayer are unexpected, Power Attack and Divine Might are so so, Martial Study... Well, let's say the penalty for that is unglued into Warblade (+0.5).
Your Gifts. Touch of Idiocy and Vampiric Touch would be surprising if they aren't in the same domain as a Wish and this isn't your only domain (-0.45).
Total: 3.3
Spoiler: PowerOffense You are a Spirited Charger initiator and you are good at that (+1.25).
Defense You have great saves, good hp, I'm sure at least not bad AC, Improved uncanny dodge. Your main soft spot is your mount. Even if you give it all magic items in the world it still will be more fragile than you (+1.25).
Utility You have several good skills, but mostly it isn't your area of competence (+0.25)
Flexibility and Endurance Maneuvers - okay. Spell slots - not okay. CL 3 - terrible (+0.5).
Free Wishes, yeah (+0.25).
Total: 3.5
Spoiler: EleganceMad Faith is [Tainted] feat. I already quote The Viscount in Schroedinger's Tibbit's judging about this. And for you it's essential part of build (-1).
Envy isn't Erythnul's domain. Yeah, Envy is in Erythnul's Portfolio, but Portfolio is a different thing (-1). Maybe I'm wrong. If you have proof please give it me.
What are your stances (-0.25)?
You take Mind over Body, Moment of Perfect Mind and Action Before Thought having 1 rank in Concentration and 24/15/22 saves? Moreover, you spent a feat on it. Yeah, you needed Diamond Mind maneuvers as prerequisites, but why didn't you get useful (-0.5)???
Columns Fort/Ref/Will in the build table are for base save bonus. Please, will not put here full bonuses in future (-0).
You ended with 5 odd stats. It's odd (-0.25). And please, be more detailed in the stat table (-0).
UMD isn't in-class skill for Warblade (-0.25). Plus, your skill formatting isn't judge-friendly. I want to see how many ranks you put in skill at each level (of course I wanna see totals, too).
What spell do you use? Do you use spells at all (-0)?
Total: 1.75
Spoiler: UoSIDid you qualify for SI? - No. You don't have ability to cast 1st-level divine spells at 3rd level so you don't qualify for Mad Faith. To solve the issue you need to replace two Warblade levels at 5th and 6th levels. Which is... well, I say doable (+0).
Did you enter SI early? - Having in mind 7th level I say so so (+0.3)
Did you finish SI? - Yes (+0.5).
Have you found some interesting combos involving SI abilities? Do you at least use them?
Advancing Spellcasting - Almost no used (+0).Weapon and Armor Proficiency - Already have all of that (+0).Granted Domain - Almost no used (+0).Contact - You just have it (+0).Menacing Aura - You just have it (+0).Godly Gift (1st) (Touch of Idiocy) - It looks like spell tax for Wish (+0).Godly Gift (2nd) (Vampiric Touch) - It looks like spell tax for Wish (+0).Godly Gift (3rd) (Wish) - You bypass XP cost (+0.15) and crashed the economy of civilization (+0.5).Altered Appearance - You just have it (+0).Commune - You just have it (+0).Plane Shift to Deity's Plane - See Gate.Plane Shift to Any Plane - See Gate.Audience - You just have it (+0).Alignment Shift - You already are CE (+0).Mystic Union - You just have it (+0).Gate - You have mention of planar travel in your story so I give you +0.1 for both Plane Shifts and Gate.Skill List (UMD especially) - You maxed UMD, you use Spellcraft to qualify for Mage Slayer (+0.15).Mage Slayer has anti-synergy with SI decreasing CL for all SLAs (-0.5)Do you use SI prerequisites or just take it and forget? - You put 3 more ranks in Knowledge (religion), but do nothing with it (+0.1).
Does your entry thematically fit the SI? - Yes (+0.5).
Maybe SI makes your entry worse than it could be without SI? - No (-0).
Total: 1.8
Total: 10.35
Spoiler: Piotyr IceveinSpoiler: OriginalityPaladin/Cleric entry is most expected. Ordained Champion sounds like Divine Agent by itself (-1). But Favored Enemy ACF is rare (+0.25).
Nemesis and Stand Still are interesting (+0.25).
Your gifts... None of them is expected (+0.5).
Total: 3
Spoiler: PowerOffense You are a melee type with sword and shield. 16 BAB, smites, +6 to damage from Holy Warrior, Power Attack, 6th level cleric's spells (while you mostly didn't tell me what exactly). Sounds okay (+1).
Defense Good hp, good saves (maybe Reflex is slightly subpar), good hp, okay AC. Spells of course (still don't know what exactly). I give you +1 point.
Utility Skills aren't good, not totally awful, but I want better, out of skills and spells... nothing (+0.25).
Flexibility and Endurance Amount of slots is ok. 11 turns... Well it's good, but you have two ways to quickly run out of ammo. But for several fights per day that should be enough. And you are anti-Undead oriented. Not very much, but more than regular Paladin or Good cleric (+0.75).
Total: 3
Spoiler: EleganceYou have some mess with your domain. In the table you get Law and Good at 3rd level (while get bonus WF from War) and War at 6th (-0).
Besides this... I like your table, I like your stats (yeah! somebody ended with no odd stats!), I like what you do with Ordained Champion's domain trading. Good job!
Total: 5
Spoiler: UoSIDid you qualify for SI? - Yes (+1).
Did you enter SI early? - Yes (+0.5).
Did you finish SI? - Yes, but only at 20th level (+0.4).
Have you found some interesting combos involving SI abilities? Do you at least use them?
Advancing Spellcasting - Yes, you do (+0.15).Weapon and Armor Proficiency - You already have it (+0).Granted Domain - I don't sure how good Good domain is. In my book it's a weak option. Only new spell is Holy Smite, +1 CL isn't nothing, but... I give you +0.05 points. Add +0.1 for trading domain granted power via Ordained ChampionContact - You just have it (+0).Menacing Aura - You just have it (+0).Godly Gift (1st) (Magic Circle Against Evil) - Sorry, but I see nothing here to reward for. Just one more 3rd level spell which you already have per day with slightly bigger CL (+0).Godly Gift (2nd) (Holy Sword) - This is slightly more useful. It's not just "one more spell", it's at the best "the second this spell" or it lets you free the domain slot for something else. But still isn't a great choice (+0.05).Godly Gift (3rd) (Summon Monster IX) - Well, at least you slightly improve casting time. Plus you bypass cleric's alignment limitation - Celestial Roc is CG, you are LG (+0.15).Altered Appearance - You just have it (+0).Commune - You just have it (+0).Plane Shift to Deity's Plane - You just have it (+0).Plane Shift to Any Plane - You just have it (+0).Audience - You just have it (+0).Alignment Shift - You're LG already (+0).Mystic Union - You just have it (+0).Gate - Well, I think it's useful, but you'd better tell me something more than "This is a very nice 9th level spell to access." (+0.1)Skill List (UMD especially) - Nothing interesting (+0).Do you use SI prerequisites or just take it and forget? - You put 4 more ranks in Knowledge (religion) and qualify for Ordained Champion (+0.3).
Does your entry thematically fit the SI? - Yes (+0.5).
Maybe SI makes your entry worse than it could be without SI? - Really, I'd be glad to exchange all levels of SI into levels of Cleric and it'll be better (-1).
Total:1.92
Total:12.913
Spoiler: KetosSpoiler: OriginalityAnthopomorphic Ballen Whale isn't very new, but also isn't expected in this round. Transformation into tibbit isn't expected, either! Stoneblessed, Shadowcraft Mage and Shaper of Form are unexpected. Drow Fighter and Divine Crusader opposite. Pious Templar and Ruathar are so so (+0.25).
Earth Spell + Shadowcraft Mage isn't very innovative, all other feats are prerequisites for something (-0.25).
Your Gifts... aren't very expected (+0.25).
Total: 3.25
Spoiler: PowerOffense Your mundane offensive options aren't something to write home about. Even with Hit-and-Run Fighter. Your magic, thanks to Shadowcraft Mage, is different. You really could cause damage and also have interesting debuffs (+1.25).
Defense Good Will and Fort with Mettle, but not very good Reflex, good hp, potentially not bad AC, I'm sure your Shadow illusions also could help you, and of course Time Stop (+1.25).
Utility Okish set of skills, some potentially useful spells and SLAs, Earth Sense and Feline Transformation. I give you +0.75 points.
Flexibility and Endurance Flexibility is your second name. Endurance isn't third, but your slots should be enough for a full day. Bonus CL from Gnome Domain and Earth Spell also are your friends (+1.5).
Total: 4.75
Spoiler: EleganceNote on modify self
*Ketos can prepare and cast Shadow Domain spells up to three times before having to recharge the higher-order ability

Dispel Magic, Greater (Liberation Domain) 1/day
Heal, Mass (Community Domain) 1/day
You didn't provide a source for Shadow domain and it's from Eberron CS - last place where I'd search (-0.25).
To qualify for Stoneblessed you must be able to speak Gnome, as well as Terran. You have Int 12 and don't have Speak Language ranks (-0.25).
I like how you use racial HD to qualify for several prestige classes and then get rid of them (+0.25).
You need to have "Ability to cast six spells from the school of transmutation." to qualify for Shaper of Form. I didn't see any in your spell table (-0.5).Remove penalty
Total:2.753.25
Spoiler: UoSIDid you qualify for SI? - Yes (+1).
Did you enter SI early? - No (+0).
Did you finish SI? - No, 9/10 (+0.4).
Have you found some interesting combos involving SI abilities? Do you at least use them?
Advancing Spellcasting - Yes, and it very essential (+0.15).Weapon and Armor Proficiency - You already have it (+0).Granted Domain - You have Divine Crusader as a basement, any additional domain worth its weight of gold (+0.15, +0.2).Contact - You just have it (+0).Menacing Aura - You just have it (+0).Godly Gift (1st) (Stone Shape) - Let's imagine you have it. You don't bypass casting time or any components, it's just a spell. Yes, spell you don't have in normal, but while we imagine you could get it, this point is ignored (+0).Godly Gift (2nd) (Dispel Magic, Greater) - Same thing. Okay, here at least CL is essential (+0.05).Godly Gift (3rd) (Heal, Mass) - Again, main point is - this is the spell you can't normally cast (+0).Altered Appearance - Only RP for you (+0).Commune - You just have it (+0).Plane Shift to Deity's Plane - You just have it (+0).Plane Shift to Any Plane - You just have it (+0).Audience - You just have it (+0).Alignment Shift - You already are NG (+0).Mystic Union - You just have it (+0).Gate - You don't have it (-0).Skill List (UMD especially) - You put ranks in UMD (+0.15).Do you use SI prerequisites or just take it and forget? - You qualify for two other prestige classes with your Knowledge (Religion), but don't add any ranks after 7th (+0.3).
Does your entry thematically fit the SI? - Yes (+0.5).
Maybe SI makes your entry worse than it could be without SI? - I see your main goal - diversity of spells/SLAs and your real profit is: Plane Shift, Commune. Extra domain you could get in several ways. I don’t think it was worth it (-0.25).
Total: 2.65
Total:13.413.9
Spoiler: SnowSpoiler: OriginalityPaladin of Freedom is surprising. Like Thaumaturgist. Crusader, Paragnostic Apostle and Illumian aren't (+0.5).
Mounted Combat and Stalwart Planar Ally are your friends. Planar Touchstone, Improved Sigil (Krau) and Sudden Extend aren't (+0).
Your gifts are interesting (+0.5).
Total: 4
Spoiler: PowerOffenseYou aren't the best mounted charger ever, but you are good enough, and you have SEVEN VERI BIG BIRB (+1.25).
Defense Fort and Will are good, Reflex is low, hp is ok, AC doesn't look very big. Your birds... Well, they could give you some defense via AoO and flying, but it isn't a panacea (+0.75).
Utility You have various Knowledges, wind walk and summon devoted roc give you and your allies mobility options, one or two Divine Insights exist, but that's all here (+0.5).
Flexibility and Endurance You have 7+ Rocs, you have Crusader's maneuvers, paladin's spells... exist, but amount isn't sufficient (+1.25).
Total: 3.75
Spoiler: EleganceI can't find flaws in your entry. And I like how elegant you double use Planar Touchstone. Full mark here!
Total: 5
Spoiler: UoSIDid you qualify for SI? - Mostly yes. I only have some doubt about "peaceful contact with deity or its direct agents." I don't see this in the story (+0.9).
Did you enter SI early? - Earliest possible (+0.5).
Did you finish SI? - Yes (+0.5).
Have you found some interesting combos involving SI abilities? Do you at least use them?
Advancing Spellcasting - Paladin spellcasting isn't something you really want to advance, but you at least give me something (+0.1).Weapon and Armor Proficiency - You already have all of this (+0).Granted Domain - Sky domain by itself doesn't look useful for you at all (+0).Contact - You can't optimize that. It's okay (+0).Menacing Aura - You just have it (+0).Godly Gift (1st) (Summon Dire Hawk) - Well, you bypass casting time, but it isn't big deal and this is spell you can cast normally (+0.05).Godly Gift (2nd) (Wind Walk) - Nothing great besides you can't cast this spell without gift (+0.1), but you have good combinations with it (+0.5).Godly Gift (3rd) (Summon Devoted Roc) - It's great (+0.15)! And you have many combos to improve this gift (+0.5).Altered Appearance - Nothing special (+0).Commune - You just have it (+0).Plane Shift to Deity's Plane - You just have it (+0).Plane Shift to Any Plane - This is a useful one (+0.15). Have some combination with Planar Touchstone (+0.2).Audience - You just have it (+0).Alignment Shift - You didn't shift anything (+0).Mystic Union - You just have it (+0).Gate - Okay, having it so early is worth something (+0.05). Plus you have combo with Contingent Conjuration (+0.3).Skill List (UMD especially) - You get UMD (+0.15).Do you use SI prerequisites or just take it and forget? - Well, you qualify for Paragnostic Apostle, but that's all (+0.3).
Does your entry thematically fit the SI? - Not the best match in my eyes, but not the worst (+0.2).
Maybe SI makes your entry worse than it could be without SI? - No (+0).

Feats are expected (-0.5).
Godly Gifts are so so (+0).
Total: 3.25
Spoiler: PowerOffense You are mostly melee type with Intimidate and some buffs. Give you +1.
Defense Bad Reflex, good Will and Fort, good hp, average AC, resistances, Stoneskin. Give you +0.75.
Utility You have Intimidate and Voice of the Dragon. Not great (+0.25).
Flexibility and Endurance You don't have any specialization, while you invest some resources into fear. Your spell slots aren't numerous, but you could live without them. And you have only 6 essentia. But Soulmelds give you some versatility. Give you (+0.75).

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground CXXX
Oh H_H_F_F, I just noticed an error in the spreadsheet: Gronk of the Umbral Disciple round has no template listed, despite being a Chameleon creature.
...and while looking that up, I discovered we actually had one Chameleon creature before; Nurgle Helmstone back in 2017! Interestingly enough, that one was also a dwarf.Creator of the LA-assignment thread.
Come join the new Junkyard Wars and build with SLAs and a breath weapon!
Interested in judging a build competition on the 3.5 forums but not sure where to begin? Check out the judging handbook!
