    It varies by judge but you generally get hit in Elegance to the tune of half to a full point.

    I have a (1) Nightstick down on my suggested equipment list, but no Divine Metamagic. Nightsticks tend to have a rather nasty connotation to them. Its very helpful, but not vital to the build. I hope this isn't gonna hurt me score, will it?

    EDIT: Even though I've submitted my entry, I'm still not on the list of contestants. Did you get my PM Private-Prinny?

    You know my stance, Keld. Nightsticks are fine, as long as you're not doing something broken with them. Since the only use I can think of involves DMM or Devotion Feats, and only one thing of those two is broken, and you're not using that one... I think you're good.

    All that I say applies only to myself. You author your own actions and choices. I cannot and will not be responsible for you, nor are you for me, regardless of situation or circumstance.

    There are a LOT of things that use TU attempts. Divine Metamagic is one of probably 2 dozen [Divine] feats printed. Theres also Divine Might, Divine Shield, Divine Vigor, Divine Resistance, the one that aligns all your allies weapons (Sacred Weapon?), and a couple others...just in Complete Warrior. I know Races of Stone has a couple more, and thats not even going into CDivine, CChampion, and PHBII. Oh, and Divine Deficance in FCII.

    Then there's also Ordained Champion's smite, the Spontaneous Domain feat in CDivine, Eldritch Disciple's Healing Blast feature, several RKV powers (non-cheesy if you limit Divine Impetus to 1/rd, Divine Recovery and the rest of the abilities are fine), and a couple of items that you can spend TU attempts on to power.

    Even DMM isn't THAT cheesy. DMM Persist IS, but DMM Quicken is pretty balanced in that it takes a TON of TU attempts and still chews up your swift actions and is only viable for 1-2 encounters per day. DMM Reach is also commonly branded as a non-cheesy way to buff your allies with touch spells from the back row, great for non-Zilla Cloistered Clerics, although Divine Ward is more efficient if you are only casting heals.

    Just sayin. There ARE more than 2 things to use TU for, MOST of which aren't cheesy.

    See how almost ALL of those are divine-based? See how GSA is an arcane-PrC? I just ignored all the ones of irrelevance, which is pretty much all of them.

    Believe me, I've used most of the possible options before. They rock, btws.

    Haha, had to look up what one looks like, but you're right, it sort of does.

    Man... I'm not so much interested in the judging as I am to see what the next theme will be so I can begin work on the next. I'm such a writing junkie.

    Meh, I wanna see the suggestions I sent Prinny last time.

    Flavorful but just plain bad. Kinda like the GSA, which I had a fantastic time with.

    Not so much. I still have the same six entries. Then again, I could get a last second flood.

    Edit: We also have 2 more judging chairs open, if anyone's interested.
