Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
As far as 'USe of the Secret Ingredient' goes, I was more flexible about it than arguskos and Hand_of_Vecna. I'm of the opinion that a good build takes what it needs from a PrC and then gets out, so the 7/7 split builds didn't bother me as long as they actually used the MoM well.
I probably would have graded Keiji higher if he had left MoM 2 levels earlier and gotten 9th level spells from AoP, actually, since that makes more sense than stopping at 9, 1 away from the capstone.Handbooks: (Hosted on the new MixMax forums)

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
Yeah, Iron Chef 2 was Ordained Champion (5 levels). Caelic was hosting and completely disappeared though, so the contest was never completed.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
True,
but if I recall that was only until 8th level...
Hmm, I didn't notice it increased up to 10th level. Still, not sure the benefits of 3 levels of waiting for them are worth it. Most of the 10th level stuff wouldn't be a whole lot better than just taking 3 more levels of your casting class.
I mean, it'd be like going on to Iron Chef America, getting a secret ingredient like, say, an entire pig, and ignoring half the pig. Yeah, you CAN, but it's not very classy.
Still edible, but let's have some pie instead.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
The have several subforums, but the important forum is the D&D 3.5 character optimization one. It's where my handbooks are hosted.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
Is there any thought on the next secret ingredient?

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
Geeze...
That's the one monster book I've never read through... but am now. Know what's the creepiest about that class, is that instead of referring to the base creature as 'she' like most PrC's do, the 'implanter' is a 'He'.
Add on the pseudonatural template and you got yourself a build worthy of any pervy japanese tentacle fic.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
Pssh. Silly monster class. I suggested Squire of Legend :P (incidently, about 1/2 way through scoring).

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
I will say, right now, that the next secret ingredient will be a 1/2 casting class.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
I thought the builds explicitly don't have to be a 20 level character. I was hoping to see some contests where that came into play.
Anyhoo, I have to go grade some oral exams now. I should have the scores posted by tomorrow-- sorry that I'm being a tad slower than the other judges.78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. [...]Where did you start yours?

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
The idea of the level breakdowns is so that you make a build that's playable at all levels. A lot of level 20 builds are rubbish until they hit 20 and everything suddenly falls into place. The idea behind this contest is that your character be playable all the way from 1 to 20.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
I think it might well be GSA. I did see it mentioned a couple times...

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
@Ozy: Don't worry too much: we're used to long wait and this time we're gladly stunned by judges' quickness. So you're not so in late
By the way, I guess we miss another judge
And what the hell is a GSA?
