But with a 2 hander (improved disarm) adds 1-3 ab on pretty much everything If i recall.

is there fullplate and tower shields with no ASF on them on the server (that arent gimped in some other way as to be useless)?

I am not asking for where or how to aquire them... just if they are out there for build reasons (needing to take autostill or not) for a spellsword.

if not what is the heaviest armor/shield category with 0% ASF on them?

I tested this in a blank module to no effect.

Just before I fall asleep, I like to pretend it's just a public feat so Pigeon can succeed in politics and save the world from poverty... with his unicorn and shining armour and Excalibur.

A question of my own -

Is it worth getting 'parry' as a monk?
And how much do you need to make it efficient?

Skills:

33 conc
33 craft weapon
33 craft armor
33 spellcraft

Bare HP:

( 4 (sorc) + 0 (con/toughness bonus) ) * 30 = 120

Max con buffed:

( 4 (sorc) + 0 (con/toughness bonus) ) * 30 + ( 6 * 30 ) = 300

AC: non existent, which is rahter good as that means they'll hit your sheat more, stupid AC whore mages, sheesh.

AB: non existent, you're a mage not a sumo wrestler, excelling in this field means you're effectivly shooting yourself in the lowerspine to cripple yourself as you'll endup knower-of-both-fields-master-of-none. You'll see below.

Spells and strategies:

*Dominate DC: 10(base) + 9(spell level) + 17(cha mod) + 4(spellfocus feats: enchantment) = 40

*Banishment DC: 10(base) + 7(spell level) + 17(cha mod) + 4(spellfocus feats: abjuration) = 38

*Acid Sheat damage: 1d6 + 60 acid per hit

*Mordenkiens disjunction dispel DC: 30 (Which means you can effectively dispel EDK. Mummy dust and EMA still remains un-dispelable)

*Spell penetaration: d20 + 30 + 2(gainable though items) = 32 - 52 / 42 - 62 (if you're morded and your SR isnt monk SR)

*Gate: 360 seconds (60 rounds) of raw pwnage (atleast if you're goodietwoshoes)

*Duration: 30 Turns/rounds/hours 60 if extended (Gate lasts 2 rounds/caster level by default)

*Non beach dispel DC: 30 (Yeah, you're fried in pvp if you have less then 25 casterlevels as you won't be stripping haste)

*Spellmantle + Shadow sheild + Mindblank = you're immune to every spell in the game (except Evard Black Tentacles and great Thunderclap)

*Devcritters: They usually have low will, abuse greater sanctuary and/or Timestop to gain time to mord away any mind blank potion before hitting them with dominate. Bigbies works good on devers aswell. Note: the daze effect from dominate monster is removed if he/she chugs a mindblank potion. Sun burst also works VERY well as its reflex or permablind.

*Shadow dancers: GS use a mordenkien sword (It has true TS, le gasp) scroll, haste and buff the summon lean back and watch it tear up the shadowdancer and if it pops up; forcefull or mindspell as they also usually have low will.

*Cleric: Mord, they usually have crappy casterlevel which means all their precious AB buffs goes "BOO-BYE!", hit with a bigby or just let the bugger kill itself on your sheat while you laugh at him/her, unless, its a dever then jump to the dever point from here.

*Bards: Haha! a wise person once said this: "Bards are crappy bow wielders!". Send your Gate after it or do the devcritter point, don't forget to giggle and/or a concentration failure due to curse song, recast and giggle again.

*Arcane archers: Their arrowes eats your DR (from premonition, shadowsheild etc) whack'em flat on their arse with a bigby or nuke their mind with a mindspell. Giggle at them.

*Other mages: Twitchy finger. If its a wizard, counterspell, you probably got more spells then he has, if he/she starts something silly to waste your mords hit'em as they're busy waving their arms stupidly. If the mage is conterspelling you, well to bad for you, be patient and or summon your familiar as they cant counter that. If the one you're counterspelling starts running to hit you, cast epic spells, other thing you cant counter; hit 'em with a disabling spell AGAIN sunburst is ideal (mages usually have low reflex unless they're cheeze, but then forcefull isnt lame) if you think forcefull is lame. Make sure you got haste at all times. If your opponent is autoquicked (Kylie, haha.) don't let him/her/them jiffer around. Nuke'em, giggle.

*Monks: Thunderclap, Evards those spells doesnt have a SR check! Ha-Ha. Or simply let him/her beat herself to death on your sheat as monks has alot of attacks/round instead of damage. Summon a critter to chew on him/her for extra giggles.

*Outsiders INCLUDING PCs: Banishment; DC 38 INSTA DEATH that is only stopped by SR/Mantle is quite hilarious. Happened me once, that mage who had a EDK happened to be a outsider, instead of banishing the EDK I killed the caster, very effective.

*PvM: Get a tank buddy...actually, get a whole pile of buddies! buff them with EVERYTHING you got! from cantrips to IX spells. Then do the same with a summoed critter IF there is room, Gate is recommended. Get a dominatee, again if there is room, buff it too like there is no friggin tomorrow. Well, skip mindblank, it makes dominatees angry, protection from alignment still works wihtout breaking anything and for godsake make sure it doesnt get hit by a greater restoration.

*Spells/day: 10 IX spells if you got 12 cha on your gear.

*Familiar: FEY! because they're rogues, sentient, immortal and got a crapload of skills and improved invises. Recommended: take a familiar that first your characters personality/style.

*GSed people: GS you too, be patient, buff in the mean time BUT be ready to cancel your action que. Or chug a reality potion and hit the ex-GSed person with a disabling spell. If you don't have a reality potion you can always go for AoE mord as your caster level is arse high and GS is on the breachlist. Or counterspell them if they popup untill you've thought up something good to do.

*Improvise: Oh,uh...

*Immortality: If you fail to kill whatever, GS and run away.

If you manage this:

CONGRATULATIONS!

YOUR ATTEMPT AT IMMORTALITY AND INFINITE POWER IS SUCCESSFUL!

This is the exact same build as my character Leona Galenson has, hurrah.

Nope. Shifters only.

Forgive the length.



This is what I had saved. Something that floated around the ..first version of this topic, I want to say. Having been fooling with sorcerers, I decided to poke my head up and ask about it.

Yes? What about them? Furthermore, was that stuff sent to you in a PM, because the... Secret sort of isn't a secret anymore, huh?

I was doing some digging through my computer and found a notepad file saved of the "K.I.S.S. Sorcerer build" that must have been posted in here a couple versions of this thread ago.

For those who don't remember, it basically has you take Greater Spellfocus in Enchant and Abjuration, Extend, Empower, And Maximize, and then Great Charisma's all through Epic. This winds up with something like 32 Base CHA and 44 after items.

How does this stack up when compared to, say, 40 CHA and having a handful of epic spells at your disposal?

Just curious.
