No reply... Alright, I'll assume that's a no, then. Hmm, quite a few submissions already, and really diverse sets of builds too, apparently.

Ginosaji seems to be on its way to finishing too, but still needs equips and a longer (30 minimum right?) background. It would've been awesome if there is a legit Spoon weapon(haven't seen Arms and Equipments guide, so I'm not sure), but I guess refluffing it to an Aspergillium isn't so bad either. Holy water for the wicked!


@jack_simth
EDIT
How would you rule the Adaptive Style ability(or not) to refresh expended maneuvers?

Did I miss a question? Hang on... easier to look up with the specific player's username...

Which specific aspect? Some of that is fine, some of that can very easily be abused.

It kinda has to; if they start expended, the feat is completely worthless. Besides, unless you're combining it with something like a Quickened Time Stop, you won't be able to do it in the middle of a battle without soaking a pretty severe action opportunity loss.

I was talking about the spell refreshing Theller's Argauneau, but in the end it felt that it's too imbalancing with the right feats (inexhaustible spontaneous cleric at the very least) so I'm not going to use it anyway.

Great, now to get rid of that itchy out of place warblade dip...



New Question (fluffy stuff):
Can I wear a Fine/Diminutive shield as a ring, but is effectively counted as occupying my offhand slot? Basically, just a fluff thing in that it's awkward to see someone who's dubbed as "Spirit of Just Vengeance" clad in a black cloak while wielding a buckler/shield in his forearm.

Well, technically he's a bit of a joke horror character, but the shield thing still felt out of place like that in combat. Outside combat is a different thing though, as he turns it into every sorts of weapons and things (fork and knife, among a few)

Okay, shame about the psion, but I have a backup plan drack might recognize:
Jack of Blades: Wu Jen26/Master of the Unseen Hand4//Either Wizard/Swiftblade or Factotum/Warblade

What's your feeling about Body Outside Body clones with SLAs (from factotum or archmage)? I'd freely stay away from clones with, themselves, Body Outside Body (to activate the near-infinite loop), but Telekinesis, maybe Undermaster or Mental Pinnacle, or that 'explode on death' one? That'd be fun.

Epic Druids are practically behemoths with world changing spells... Not what I would imagine as tame, but I agree that the builds are somehow scattered in power level.

As for my build, he is more skill / spell versatility centered, and he deliberately delivers low damage because that's just what he does. His signature weapon even was originally Sap. Maybe after a few more submissions I'll adjust him appropriately.

Hrm. Epic feats for wizards are sort of underwhelming. Not in the power sense, of course, but since epic spellcasting is out and I don't really focus on metamagic, can I really only take Improved Spell Capacity three times? Heck, I took Polyglot, and if there was ever a feat a wizard/factotum doesn't need, it's Polyglot.
This might be just about the first build I ever had where I didn't need more feats.

Mm. True. Though I can't really find much there, either, and I've been digging for a while. Though that may also be because I already get six bonus feats from Loremaster. Guess I'll drop some levels for Mindbender and get Mindsight.

"She can’t choose the same secret twice." - "Applicable Knowledge" is one secret, regardless of which feat you use it on.

You can take it as many times as you have suitable Epic feats. It's not a restricted one.

Suicide clones? Always hilarious.

The problem wasn't really that I think I could take Improved Spell Capacity several times. More that it felt boring. But I missed the Loremaster part. That will mean some cuts.

Why not automatic metamagic then?

Does anyone know if there's an epic level factotum progression, by the way? Also, Leadership for an information ring and inn staff alright?

Nah, just a premonition based off character gen rates of other players, and my own load.

Is it safe to assume this game will involve moving around enough that having a mobile base rather than stationary would be most efficient?

Also, epic progression of the Landlord table or no?

To be perfectly honest, with no replies on this in weeks I thought it was dead. I have a mostly finished character sheet though; I can PM it to you.
