Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Still considerable though, If you're a Thri-Keen, you can actually live longer than about 25-30ish years if I'm correct.

easier to just have contingent last breaths, though, if you're seriously into immortality, no?

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
If you want a DMG thrown at you, try this:
1) Buy a wizard's spellbook with 100 pages
2) cast explosive runes on every page
3) throw the book over to someone you want to vaporize
4) cast dispel magic on the book
If you find a way to make it impossible for the dispel check to succeed (i.e. taking levels in IotSV then casting the dispel from a scroll), all 100 explosive runes will detonate simultaneously when they aren't dispelled. This will result in anything adjacent to the book taking 600D6 force damage, no save. Anything within 10 feet gets a reflex save for half damage (which still comes out to more than a thousand on average).
This is lovingly referred to as a Boombox
Now, a word of caution. Having a boombox on your person is extremely dangerous. I have had a character come to a sudden and very red-misty end by going through a dispel-magic trap with one of these in his pack.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
I did something similar too this. I put an Arcane mark on the forehead of a temporarily controlled mindless undead servant of the evil Necromancer and then spammed the **** out of explosive runes via wands. By the time we let it go report back to the necromancer, I had a good few hundred castings on it. When the explosion went off, nothing but a crater was left of the Tower.
DM handed out insane RP and style points for that one, was so impressed he showed us what we'd have had the chance to loot form the tower if we'd gone in in classic fashion, then he gave us 1.5 times that and experience as though we'd just go in and killed the crap out of everything in there that moved."I Burn!"

Seriously, you should check this out. Area spells require LoE, too.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
I've probably been swordsaged, but that no longer works in pathfinder.
The candle of invocation thing probably does.
You can still have fun though, with a dim G.M.
For example:
Get powerful blow rage power, and any others that occur once/rage.
Wait until tireless rage at 17th level, or have a mage Friend ready with remove fatigue.
Rage.
Use all the once-a-rage powers simultaneously.
Stop raging, end round.
Next round: Start raging...
Edit:1) Buy a wizard's spellbook with 100 pages
2) cast explosive runes on every page
3) throw the book over to someone you want to vaporize
4) cast dispel magic on the book
If you find a way to make it impossible for the dispel check to succeed (i.e. taking levels in IotSV then casting the dispel from a scroll), all 100 explosive runes will detonate simultaneously when they aren't dispelled.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
I recently started making spellcaster, so I came across this cool trick:
Their are some things (oneiramancy, rainbow servant) that add spells to your class list, but its balanced out by having to pick between spells from that list or your own list when you level up. However, several classes cast from their entire class list, so this is essentially just free spell expansion (iirc, the rainbow servant adds the entire cleric spell list, so you are now a better cleric than the cleric, spell-wise). On a relevant note, A dip into sandshaper adds a bunch of spells to your spells known. For prepared casters, they still have to prepare them as normal. A spontaneous caster, however, can take much greater use of this desert insight.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Um, sorry, but no. Oneiromancy from Heroes of Horror doesn't grant you any new spells, it's improved version doesn't either, rather it adds spells to your available spell list and only six spells in total (spells not really worth the time either).
Rainbow Servant doesn't add the entire cleric spell list either, it only grants access to the Good, Air, and Law domains. Rather at 10th level you gain Cleric Spell Access, which while it allows you to use spells from the entire list, it doesn't add to the bonus spells per day. Considering this is a prestige class and you're still limited by level on which spells are available, you're about as good as a cleric with no domain limitation from a god (which can and does exist as an option).
The Sandshaper is the easiest PrC to get into of the two listed. Though in a gestalt game I could see both being used.
However you're completely correct on Sandshaper.

Two words: Handy Haversack. Nothing quite beats extradimensional storage for denying line-of-effect.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Not sure if this'd count as 'easy' due to the level requirements, but you can create epic spells instantly, for free, with a 0 casting DC. All you need is a high charisma, Epic Leadership, and Legendary Commander. Have all your followers be spellcasters, and design all your epic spells as rituals, with a number of casters equal to the number of followers you have.

Cool, the first investment all of my spellcasters are making from now on is a piece of leather they can hold up in front of themselves in order to protect from dispels.
Could you impel the ball to roll by holding a defenestrating sphere up against it?

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
That's from 3.5e. Doorhandle was talking about Pathfinder. Pathfinder's version of that rule is:
A barbarian can end her rage as a free action and is fatigued after rage for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the rage. A barbarian cannot enter a new rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter rage multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If a barbarian falls unconscious, her rage immediately ends, placing her in peril of death.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming? Know programming? Interested in game development? Take a look.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Um, dude, Rainbow Servant is considered one of if not THE most broken Prestige Classes in the game for the ability to play Beguiler or Warmage 6, then take that class for ten levels, not lose any spell casting, and at level 16 be able to cast that entire classes spell list as a 16th level member of the entry class, AND cast as a 16th cleric using which ever entry class you had casting stat as the casting stat for cleric levels.

Re: The Easy Exploit Compendium
Hulking Hurler + Bloodstorm Blade = scouting anywhere an ally would like to go, assuming I understand the classes correctly. You may need to throw in some Drunken Master for Improvised Weapon Proficiency if your allies don't count as "weapons" otherwise.

Well, with Psionics, there is Burrowing Power, although it's not exactly efficient. You can use Telekinetic Sphere as the hamster ball, though.
