Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
well happy birthday, then.
The last contest that had trophies was Scion of Tem-Et-Nu, so that makes it 9 (10 if you count acolyte too) (there were trophies for cryokineticist, but not for the ones before it up to scion, nor after it)
it would be pretty awesome if you'd make trophies, all of us who've won stuff since shadowdancer would certainly appreciate it.I've got a new fantasy TTRPG about running your own fencing school in a 3 musketeers pastiche setting. Book coming soon.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
What? I thought it was shotos, but now you tell me it's bat'leth initiation?
Speaking of which: bat'leth-shaped dual lightsabers. If I were to see one, I'd call it the Mastermune.
And...I'm probably saying "yes" to judging, because I'm bored. As you may know, I usually tend to deliver (and usually announce how many judgings I've got with time, allowing for pretty nice estimations). As usual, I never reveal my judging criteria, but if you see some of my earlier acts, you may get an idea of how I judge. Or see any of my posts.
Well, I can say part of my judging criteria, actually:

When they talk about 'skin and bones,' they're usually more metaphorical.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
I believe that's the last of them. On your marks, get set, JUDGE!
I'd like to apologize to The Rag and Bone Man's author, who specified that the submission contains a typo which I was unable to spot (not enough ranks, methinks). If you notice it, know that the author knew it was there and tried to have it fixed.
I'd also like to apologize to Baby's author - and the rest of you - for that horrible pun I included.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
Spoilers: my build is the one that uses at least one level of Acolyte of the Skin.*
Anyway, looks like some good competition; a Rolling Stones reference is always a good sign.
*Has anybody ever entered a build that didn't use a single level of the secret ingredient? I wonder if such a thing could somehow make a good showing, despite the obvious flaw...Last edited by The Dark Fiddler; 2012-08-25 at 08:22 PM.
It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
Definitely some interesting things here! Can't wait to read them all in detail... Thus far I've only read over the build stubs.
I really wanted to put together something involving Thayan Slaver, but I couldn't quite get it to come together. I also considered Cloistered Cleric/AotS 10/Nar Demonbinder 5, but I didn't have a great story to go along with it, and ran out of time.Optimization Showcase in the Playground

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
Personally, I was very surprised that everyone managed to talk themselves out of Fleshwarper.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
What on earth would Fleshwarper bring to an Acolyte of the Skin, besides interesting fluff? Because it looks like everyone did that without help.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
Bleh. I got stuck trying to deal with the Spellthief SLA-recharge trick's level cap.
But these look interesting. I'm seeing the alignment knots people were talking about.
EDIT:
One of the build ideas I was juggling around was going to abuse Assume Supernatural Ability and that graft-demon to throw the Acolyte of the Skin's abilities on everybody; I imagine Fleshwarper would be used for the same kind of deal.Last edited by eggs; 2012-08-25 at 09:20 PM.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
back before this IC, i'd been making a build with acolyte and fleshwarper, and some other stuff, and as I was combing for grafts, I found that acolyte's fiendish skin was one of the fiendish grafts in FF, so fleshwarper could just make it by itself, no acolyte required. I figure the other contestants came to a similar conclusion that a class that can just make the SI's identifying feature (and more besides) on its own probably isn't the best to highlight its strengths.
I'm surprised no one used blood magus.
bad luck! what would your guy/gal have looked like?
Here's fleshwarper fluff certainly would have been fun, but it's certainly got more to offer than that. a little too much, which is exactly the problemLast edited by Venger; 2012-08-25 at 09:22 PM.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
I was making a fleshwarper...i stopped because I thought everyone would do it. And what would it give you...Demonic grafts for one. Power boost to abilities. The possibilities were endless and with Deformities. Dam I curse myself.
My other was a Cancer mage, which again really no one. Though I do like many of the builds must say competitors good job, I just wish i put my fleshwarper in.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
I hate to be "that guy," but maybe I can save the judges some time by provoking a response.
Is it my imagination, or does Luc fail to explain where he got the evil subtype to qualify for fiend of corruption? Unless of course AotS was erratta'd to give the evil subtype with its fiendish apotheosis?
I ask because I really liked the build and I might want to use it in a future game.I am not seaweed. That's a B.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXVI
I got as far as "those fiendish symbionts from the Fiend Folio could fulfill the peaceful contact requirement", but no build really ever gelled. Just as well, as nothing could compare to Captain Wyrmbeard's masterwork pegleg of sailing.
