Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Then why does Transmute Rock to Mud specify only 8d6 damage if you cave in a ceiling, no matter what amount of rock you transmute to mud?
Don't dead creatures count as objects because they're now nonliving matter? Heal has to be cast on a creature.
Slightly more on-topic (although a week and a half after the last post, so a bit late), I saw an alternate "Commoner Railgun" that doesn't actually work anymore. Line up commoners, use Supreme Cleave.Last edited by noparlpf; 2011-07-20 at 11:37 PM.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
True. I guess Iron Heart Surge is like Wish in that you have the get a bloody lawyer in just to have what you want to happen happen.
Hmm..."I am capable of having hit points lower than my full normal hit points."
And then the DM says, "Okay, your full normal hit point total is changed to 1."
"My Dex score is not 5,000 and I don't have Improved Uncanny Dodge." Because then you're practically unhittable anyway, even by touch attacks.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
dead prevents actions because you are unconsious from having more nonlethal damage than hp.
this does make diehard and such useless, who uses those?

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Darn those DMs. At least I could probably become a successful lawyer after a few games using Wish and Iron Heart Surge.
But for Str 0, you would at least need a plausible excuse. Have a colorless, scentless inhaled poison trickle into the room. "While under the effects of this poison, you may take no actions, not even mental actions or free actions. This includes taking actions while below 0 hit points."
It's easier to do these things when you're the DM. So obviously you should Iron Heart Surge away the condition that your player doesn't have equal standing with the DM. (Which does affect you. But first you need to become aware of the metagame.)

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
That's what the Self Aware Player Character PRC is for.
As for a plausible excuse... "You suddenly feel much more dexterous... but you slowly realize that all of your other abilities are being drained. It's as if the power you used to have is being funneled into DEX, leaving all your other abilities completely drained and at 0. You fall to the floor, unconscious, and in three comas."

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Well, since it says you go into a coma once your INT, WIS, or CHA reaches 0, it makes sense that if all three got to 0, then you'd be in three separate comas.
Self Aware Player Character is in the third party Bride of the Portable Hole: The Book of Neurotic Fantasy , which in all honesty is a joke book. It brings you such things as the Paladin-Knight of the Secret and Bizarre Righteous Order of the Hokey Pokey, Self Aware Player Character, and a stated out Gazebo.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Oh, it is. You get to force the DM to make a save whenever your character would die, where the DC is determined by the number of unresolved plot hooks associated with the character. As a bonus, YOU get to make the roll for the DM. Also, at 10th level, the character becomes real, moves into your house, drinks your beer, and steals your girlfriend.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
NITPICK ALERT!
The "actual" SRD is a series of RTF files published on WotC's website. d20SRD uses the OGL to republish those text files in a new (and better organized format). The site also incorporates errata (which, technically speaking, isn't OGL - though that doesn't matter too much). It also incorporates the Open Game Content from another book, Unearthed Arcana, but that material isn't actually in the SRD even though people often refer to as such since it's on that site.
OK, carry on. ;)John Ling

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
This is one I got inspiration from with the fist full of manifester arrows.
And then I realised it wouldn't work.
Basically do fist full of manifester arrows with the Soulbows arrows or soulknife mind blade, that would mean when you can make them as a free action you can have an infinite amount of power points.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Fistfull of Manifester arrows can get you a large number of them... if you don't mind limiting them all to 5 points. And yes, when trying it with the soulknife / soulblade, you've got some sharp limits that stop it from working:
1) "As usual, a psionic character cannot pay a power’s cost with power points from more than one source, so the power points in the weapon must be used for discrete manifestations" - right in the description of the Manifester weapon property. Which means any manifestation from these "infinite power points" is limited to 5 pp.
2) There's an annoying clause in Bestow Power for use of this sort of thing to bypass such restrictions: "only power points generated by a psionic creature in the moment can be shared using bestow power." - so you can't give the power points from this method to yourself or another creature.
3) The Mind Blade Enhancement class feature has a very specific list of things it can replace - and Manifester isn't on the list.
4) The Soulbow (from Complete Psionic, page 36) handles the enhacements with the same wording as the Soulknife's. Manifester isn't on the list.
Basically, this pretty much only works if your DM is not familiar with the material.Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete. C'est la vie.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Not all that many.
Why? Many DM's view Psionics as overpowered, and don't look at the material, simply forbidding it instead.
Why? Because a lot of people take advantage of DM's not being particularly familiar with how psionics actually work, and do things like blowing more power points than their current level on one manifestation, tricks like this, and so on.Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete. C'est la vie.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
I don't think the Heroics version will work, since it says "For the duration of the spell, the subject can use the feat as if it were one of those the creature had already selected". This implies that they do not GAIN the feat, they can just use it as if they had gained it. There is no actual feat gained to be traded away, the spell just emulates the effects of the feat.

Here's a question: If you use phaerimm race too turn your Sorcerer spells into SLA's, How would that interact with the following things.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Seeing all the IHS posts got me thinking:
Step 1. Be a Kaorti Warblade.
Step 2. Take off your armor.
Step 3. IHS away Material Plane Vulnerability.
Step 4. ???
Step 5. Laugh
Immediately, there are only a few possible outcomes I can think of, and only one that is kind of bad.
1. You are no longer affected by the material plane. Awesome sauce.
2. The Material Plane/world you're on gets sent to another plane. Bad if it's an Inner Plane, workable if it's an Outer Plane, near trivial if it's a Transitive Plane, epic win if it's the Far Realm, and "the DM didn't read the vulnerability right and is spiting you" if it's an alternate Material Plane.
3. You, and only you, get sent to another plane. See above.
4. You get teleported back to your cyst. Minor inconvenience at worst.
