Scummer D&D

[Brian Skies]

I don't think I've ever been in a position to Cleave, let alone Great Cleave.

I'll have 25 feet of reach.

?

[FakeGod]

he's saying he has a ton of reach so he will have more cleave targets

[Brian Skies]

25 ft? That's more than most BBEG's.

I can get him to 15 ft, I think.

[FakeGod]

you can get his reach to 15 ft?

you are saying you can turn him Huge?

[Brian Skies]

I can get him to 10. I think he gives himself another 5, but I don't know how his class feature works.

[FakeGod]

he's going to turn Large, then use a reach weapon to double his reach to 20ft, then use his class feature to get 5ft more

[Brian Skies]

Weird, I thought reach weapons only gave another 5 ft of reach.

[FakeGod]

look at the back of the DMG for reach calculations

[Brian Skies]

His build is busted.

[FakeGod]

busted?

busted like it's awesome? or busted like he's breaking rules?

[Brian Skies]

And of course he dumps Wis.

[Brian Skies]

Is GIF still planning on grabbing Frenzy?

[FakeGod]

I think so?

the Hobo chat is turning schizophrenic and getting hard to read these days

[Brian Skies]

I've spent the last day thinking of how to stop Gif. Now I have to think of contingency plans for stopping Who.

[Brian Skies]

I'm locking in Necromancer.

[Who]

GiF's still planning on going frenzied because the rest of you are going cabbage. Unless he's changed his mind since last night.

[DiamondSentinel]

2 things.

1. GiF's and my plan would TOTALLY work, so I vote we try it.
2. FG, would you be able to use swiftblade with duskblade if you used a wand of haste?

[Who]

His build is busted.

How so?

And reach weapon multiplies natural reach by 2. You'd give me 10, reach weapon would make it 20, war shaper would make it 25. (And the extra 5 would be impossible for enemies to see until I used it. Not sure how relevant that is, but if they try to stay just out of range they'll fail)


I think I'm going occult slayer.

I've spent the last day thinking of how to stop Gif. Now I have to think of contingency plans for stopping Who.

Target will, my will save is going to be shitty until I go occult slayer. Or ref, my ref save will be eh. Don't target fortitude unless you want to end up on the end of my spiked chain.

And GiF is going for a build with very high will save. If you buff his will save by a tiny bit more he'll be guaranteed to make his save. (And he gets immunity to natural 1s by one of the feats)

[FakeGod]

DS, you need to be able to cast haste without a wand

[FakeGod]

I'm locking in Necromancer.

Wizard or sorcerer?

If wizard, focused or no?

Link your char sheet if you are able.

[DiamondSentinel]

DS, you need to be able to cast haste without a wand

Yeah, I was worried that was the case.

Ugh, why does every decent class have to have a flaw to make it nigh-on unusable.

[DiamondSentinel]

Aww, dndtools got my hopes up. It said bladesinger had haste, which means I could dip into it and then jump up to swiftblade after a level.

Edit: Ah, that perk's from Tome and Blood Expansion. I see now.
Edit Edit: And races of Faerun. So many books...

[FakeGod]

DS, if you really want to play swiftblade, just do Sorc 6 or Wiz 6.

Yeah, you lose BAB, but there's nothing you can do.

[DiamondSentinel]

I'm considering it. There are far too many choices... I'll have to think. I mean, I still have like a month, at least.

[FakeGod]

You may have less than two weeks.
