Hans: Just in case it slipped by last night, I misunderstood what GWG was talking about in regards to added DC from sneak attacks.

-snip-
The multiplicative crit thing seems to be fine.
I actually meant a flat +2 DC for every d6 [of sneak attack dice] you would have otherwise.

I prefer this way, both because it scales more smoothly and because it saves you a lot of unnecessary rolling, considering how many DC-check items I'll be sneak-attacking with.

With his INT, I doubt he could class into wizard. just saying :P
Wolfcastle said it best.

Apparently piggyback rides haven't been invented in this world yet :P
Piggyback rides are inefficient for long-term travel, and in such a situation unpleasant for both parties.

What if I built a carriage for him to ride in? I could wear it like a backpack.
That would be silly, but it could work.
Whether they're inefficient or not(and pleasantness is not for you to decide, when one of us is about the size of the other's head, and easily a light load), it could be done.
I'd say that four-year-olds are a size category smaller than me. I can't imagine it would be significantly better carrying them piggyback than on my shoulders.
Besides, piggyback rides occupy the arms of both individuals.

Also, sadly Remuthra, Prestidigitation still needs a 10 Intelligence to cast as a Wizard. If you were an Illumian you could base your casting off strength, though.
New quest: Re-assemble the Ritual of the Words Made Flesh (or whatever it's called, I don't have my copy of Races of Destiny with me).

The Ultimate Warrior is a strict believer in the power of foreign policy through force. Why bargain with other people when you can punch them in the face and take their stuff?

Why yes, The Ultimate Warrior is running for President of the USA next term!
That would be an awesome debate.
"Alright, let's move onto our next subject. What are your thoughts on ObamaCare?"
"It's a waste of money!"
"It would have worked better if the Republicans didn't gut it."
"Stupid candidates!"
(smashing)
I picked the one topic I couldn't think of a good line for. Let's try again.
"What are your feelings on the prolonged conflicts in the Middle East?"
"We need to keep it up, before groups like Al Queda can take power."
"It's gone on far too long already!"
"Ooh. Lots of smashing."

Just have a papoose.

But I was still referring to riding on the shoulders, actually. Since I'm undead, the Minotaur is undead, my familiar might be something that sits on my face anyway, and the Kobultimate Warrior is as strong as he is(and I as light as I am) that it shouldn't be an issue.

Isn't there some sort of template for playing as a parasitic creature riding inside another, larger creature? I could swear I happened across it at some point...

There's actually rules for riding "Saddle-less" and for riding "creatures ill-suited for riding."  The total is only a -10 to ride checks.  The DC to "stay in saddle" is effectively 15.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one not trying to game the system at every opportunity :P
Not the only one :P

EDIT: What is the ring of spellbattle anyway?
So, that just means I got left with the one item I can't really use in any way. Thanks guys :P


BLASPHEMY!  /me scurries off to search the MIC for something that Taricus can use.

Okay, this is how it works then. :P

Make it another ring, so you can later realize that OH WAIT THAT WASN'T ACTUALLY A RING OF SPELLBATTLE AFTER ALL?

Well, that item really is lackluster compared to the others. I mean...who counterspells? Ever?

If you're looking for ideas, how about one of these:

Ring of Anticipation (DotU): 6,000gp; roll all initiative checks twice, take the better of the two rolls; +2 to spot/listen.
Cloak of the Dragon (CChamp): 6,000gp; Fly equal to land speed once per day for 10 minutes.
Talisman of Undying Fortitude (MiC): 8,000gp; 2/day activate as a swift action to gain immunity to: poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, critical hits, nonlethal damage, physical ability damage, ability drain, energy drain, fatigue, exhaustion, death from massive damage, and anything requiring a Fort save. It also removes the necessity of breathing for this time. Lasts for 3 rounds per activation.

Or if you're feeling silly:

Enveloping Pit (MiC): 3,600 gp; for LE/LN/NE characters, functions as a 50' deep portable hole. Can cover a surface of between 1' and 10' depending how far you unfold it. It is a relic, however (if you make the divine connection for it, you can open and close it with a command word provided you're within 60', and all it requires is worshipping Kurtulmak--which Irlitrix does--and having 9HD and taking the True Believer feat). Better yet, it's specifically a kobold item.

Heh, I actually considered asking if I could take one as part of my starting kit.  :P


e: Oooh, that's even better. Now Corfax is going to be tempted to teamkill, the selfish bastard.  :P

One question: Those gloevs don't boost my DEX bonus for AC purposes, right?

Um, I think they actually do. You are still limited by your Max Dex modifier though.

Also, I didn't know what to get you because you're a fighter with 10 str, 15 dex, and 18 intelligence. Wat.
