Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
I'm excited by this challenge. How many people will go all in with the class how many people will make a partial cyborg.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
I've got an idea for a build (yes, another one), but it would probably make people stab me.
Should I do it anyway?

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
One of my first thoughts was pretty stab-worthy, although I couldn't get it to come together without some pretty stinky cheese. I'll be curious to see if anyone else goes that route, though.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
Indeed. However, whether "more challenging" is a good thing is ... controversial.
And we've used racially restrictive ingredients before (Blade Bravo and Shadow Sentinel spring readily to mind).You can call me Draz.

Also of note:
- Winning Entry of Gestalt Build Challenge IV
- 3rd Place in Iron Chef XI (Blade Bravo)
- Judge of Iron Chef XXIII (Divine Champion)
I have a number of ongoing projects that I manically jump between to spend my free time ... so don't be surprised when I post a lot about something for a few days, then burn out and abandon it.
... yes, I need to be tested for ADHD.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
Any ingredient that requires elf is not at all restrictive, also. There are so many elven subraces out there!

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
There are some decent elves... Snow elf from frostburn is posibly the best elf sub-race and Fire elves are awesome for Int-based gishes. They also have monopoly to the best Prestige class for Two weapon fighters, the Revenant Blade and one of the strongest ToB Prestige classes, Eternal Blade.
And Eberron's elves (half elves and drow too) have the best fluff ever concerning them! Ancient-mongolian-esque hordes for the Valenar, Creepy not-necromancer Death Obsessed elves in Aerenal, tribal ex-slaves drows who worship a Scorpion-god and aren't chaotic evil to the point of not being a sustainable society. And finally the half-breed (who incidentally became a true-breeding race) are freaking AIR PIRATES!!!!! and some of them can control the climate!
tl:dr: normal elves sucks mechanically; but Eberron Elves are awesome.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
I think I was able to narrow my four concepts down to one! Granted, I don't know if that one will materialize into a build or if I'll ragequit hours before the deadline, but we shall see.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
Well dang, after several contests where I got my entry in just before the deadline, if at all, I managed to submit my build a full week in advance. Feels nice to not have so much pressure on!
I'm pretty happy with my build. I did break one of my cardinal rules of Iron Chef building with this entry, so I'll be curious to see if it hurts me or not... but hey, for every rule an exception, right?Optimization Showcase in the Playground

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
Lucky you, I have my concept pretty much nailed; but there are some rules question that I need to check before actually building... and this I will make sure my entry isn't a complete mess.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
So I'm working on a build, if I have time to get it written down. One rules question, if I may (and I think this doesn't give anything away): how does a PrC like this affect spell casting gained from another PrC that has 10 or fewer caster levels? Do you just keep increasing caster level without gaining additional spells per day/known after you max the PrC out?

How goes the creation process, folks? You're all suspiciously quiet.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXXIX
I'm putting the finishing touches on the build, and about to start writing the story. I had hoped to start the story earlier this week, so I'm falling behind schedule a bit
