Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCI
We're all following a strange melody
We're all haunted by a tune
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon

...I'm pretty sure any song I came up with that was relevant to someone called "Gar Hogchoker" would get me an infraction.

Sorry for the gap in posts, I was posting in a quiet moment at work, and got interrupted by suddenly having things to do. Build posting will now continue.

Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCI
Well done everyone!
My entry would have been an Unseelie Fey Star Elf Marshal 2/Hexblade 3/Fatemaker 10/Sandshaper 1/Dragon Disicple 4.
Pumping Cha, adding Sandshaper spells to list. DD to grab extra 4th level slots.
Nothing too exciting.Last edited by Thurbane; 2018-03-05 at 03:46 PM.

Indeed, thank you Heliomance!
There are so many cool things here that I never considered! Really nice builds all!
A preemptive thank you to the judges as well! :)

Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCI
This round exceeded my expectations. I see a lot of cool things I wouldn't have thought of.
My ideas were centered around Slippers of Battledancing, on account of the Cha focus, and the SI covering all the crafting prereqs save Longstrider and the Craft Wondrous Item feat itself. Though I usually don't set much store by the Rules Compendium rule about only getting Sneak Attack damage on one attack of a multiple attack standard action, but felt that a Fatemaker should endeavor to find a clear way around them. Greater Manyshot explicitly works, but it has a high Dex requirement which didn't feel right on the Cha-SAD build I was going for and unlike regular Manyshot I couldn't get it without meeting that requirement through Ranger. I thought about using Duskblade Channel+Draconic Claw+Planar Touchstone (Oxyrhynicus) to get extra attacks outside of my standard action, but couldn't come up with a build that fit together to my satisfaction. The last RC-skirting multiple-attack idea I had was just using Hustle to move as a move action and then full attack, but ended up not wanting to spend enough build resources to get that much manifesting. I ultimately settled on the easy option of just using martial maneuvers for better standard action attacks (and ultimately a usable move and full attack via Quicksilver Motion).
This was the build that I ultimately hammered out.
Unseelie Fey Star Elf Marshal 3/Swordsage 4/Fatemaker 10/Eternal Blade 3
1. Marshal 1 – Aereni Focus (Iaijutsu Focus), Skill Focus (Diplomacy)
2. Marshal 2
3. Swordsage 1 – Craft Wondrous Item, Improved Unarmed Strike, Weapon Focus (Desert Wind)
4. Swordsage 2
5. Marshal 3
6. Swordsage 3 – EWP (Gnome Quickrazor)
7. Fatemaker 1
8. Fatemaker 2
9. Fatemaker 3 – Arcane Disciple (Travel)
10. Fatemaker 4
11. Fatemaker 5
12. Swordsage 4 – Ascetic Mage
13. Fatemaker 6
14. Fatemaker 7
15. Fatemaker 8
16. Fatemaker 9 – Craven
17. Fatemaker 10
18. Eternal Blade 1 – Maiming Strike
19. Eternal Blade 2
20. Eternal Blade 3
It uses Island of Blades to flank and use Aura of Confidence at the same time, like Felicity and damage multipliers to take advantage of Confidence of the Fated like Rizzo (though I was using Ruby Nightmare Blade).
I could have made more of an effort to do the write-up, but wasn't sufficiently motivated.Last edited by WhamBamSam; 2018-03-06 at 12:30 AM.

Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCI
Wow. Nice round! There’s some great stuff I didn’t expect to see. I’m fully expecting to be an also-ran this time around. We don’t mess around, do we?
I have to say that aside from one or two fairly obvious bits, there’s significantly less overlap than I would have thought. Maybe because the SI is SO bloody generic that the only obvious part is how to get in, not what to do once you get there.
Anyone committed to judging yet?Last edited by Zaq; 2018-03-06 at 09:32 AM.

Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCI
Was that a serious offer? Because with a round this big, it's beginning to look like we might need something like that.

Re: Iron Chef Optimisation Challenge in the Playground XCI
Well nuts, that's unfortunate. Thank you for trying though!
Is there anyone who's availability has opened up from the initial deadline who would be willing to judge? It would be sad to leave these languishing. I would offer to disqualify myself and judge, but I'm not convinced I'm knowledgeable enough to do it justice.
