[Shoruke]

An undead titanium elemental.

Holy

Shit

[RAM]

Elementals and golems are already very similar to undead as far as combat is concerned...

[Akigagak]

Yes, but are not under my control.

[CJ1145]

Can't be there yet; guitar in ten minutes.

[Neruz]

Server's been up for awhile btw.


And Akig; if you make a Golem, it's under your control by default (some types have a chance to go Berserk, but with the exception of the Clay Golem they can all be brought back under your control after the fight if that happens, and i'm going to let the same rules apply to the Clay Golem, because a random cumulative 1% chance per round to lose your shit is gay.)

[Heron TSG]

If I had the adamantine body feat, would that make my gauntlets adamantine?

[Heron TSG]

Updating Sinistar with Fighter Fix. (selective, I don't think all of these are necessary and I prefer to stay as balanced as possible.)

Move Through the Fray - Your speed increases by this amount, additionally you may move this far at any point during a Full Attack action, splitting up the movement however you wish.

Endurance - You gain the Endurance feat.

Diehard - You gain the Diehard feat.

Offensive Aptitude - You add this number to attack and damage rolls with weapons, you add twice this number to damage rolls with melee weapons held in two hands.

Technique Focus - Choose one of the Fighter Techniques shown below.

Intense Training - Choose an ability score and add +2 to that score. Every time you get Intense Training you select a new ability score and add +2 to that score and to all previously selected scores.

Enhanced Weapons - At level 4 you treat all weapons you wield as if they were magic weapons with an enhancement bonus equal to your Offensive Aptitude bonus. At level 12 you treat all weapons you wield as if they were both magic and aligned to your alignment.

Blindsight - You gain Blindsight out to the given distance.

Resistance - You add this number as a bonus to all saving throws.

Enhanced Armor - At level 6 you gain DR equal to your Fighter class level that is penetrated by Magic weapons.

Spell Resistance - You gain Spell Resistance equal to one and a half times your Fighter class level plus your CON modifier.

Fast Healing - You gain Fast Healing equal to half your Fighter level rounded down.

Spell Absorbtion - Whenever you successfully resist a spell you gain temporary hitpoints equal to twice your Fighter level.

Spell Deflection - Whenever you successfully resist a spell you may choose to deflect it instead of absorbing it. If you deflect it then the caster is affected by the spell as if he cast it upon himself from your location.

Spoiler: Techniques (click to show/hide)

Bull Rushing - You may add your BAB to Bull Rush attempts and do not provoke AoO's from Bull Rush attempts. On a success you may push the target a number of feet equal to 5 times your BAB and the target takes damage equal to your STR modifier for every 5 feet you push it.

Overrunning - When you attempt to overrun an opponent your target may not choose to avoid you, you do not provoke AoO's from the target and you add your BAB to the overrun roll. On a successful Overrun you deal 1d6+Str modifier damage to the target as well as knocking it prone.


Sundering - When you make a Sunder attempt you may add your BAB to the attempt and do not provoke AoO's from the target. You may also choose to Sunder limbs instead of items and your Sunder attacks deal double damage to objects.


Grappling - You can add your BAB to Grapple attempts twice (instead of once). Additionally your effective size for Grappling is increased every 4 levels, starting at level 2. [CURRENT EFFECTIVE SIZE: LARGE]

Critical Strikes - At 2nd, 6th, 14th and 18th levels your critical threat range increases by 1. This is applied after threat range multipliers like Keen. Additionally at 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th levels your critical damage multiplier increases by 1. [THREAT RANGE: 18-20] [MULTIPLIER:3]

More about Calladskarina:



Let me just take this opportunity to once again state the level 1 ability for duelist that I have just aquired:
When wearing no armour and not using a shield, a duelist may add their intelligence bonus, to a maximum of their duelist level, to their dexterity bonus to Armour Class. Yes, that's right, I can gain +1 to Armour Class at the low low price of 7 points of AC!

[Neruz]

It gets better with levels


Also, next session should be fun.

[Akigagak]

Having recently acquired Libris Mortis, I'm re-thinking the Adv. learning choice I made.
It's now Clutch of Orcus. It's very dark side.

And I'm getting Avascular Mass as soon as possible.

[Neruz]

You may have the opportunity to raid a Necromancer's tower soonish, so there's potential for all kinds of intersting stuff.

[RAM]

Heh, at level 7 duelist(14 total) I get to add my duelist level to AC whenever I use the defensive fighting action Which is... Well, quite a lot...

Oh, on that topic, I would like to be able to use attack actions without actually having anything to attack.
 Mechanics wise, I attack the air, I attack the water, I attack the ground, I attack my imaginary friend/enemy, I attack the possible invisible creature and nominate a square...
 As far as Roleplaying goes, it would seem to make sense to be able to adopt a combative posture in preparation for battle.
 As for balance, I would suggest that spending the standard action is an appropriate cost regardless of whether or not someone is there to attack. I would also expect a wizard to be able to cast a multiple round spell if there are no valid targets or a character to end their move mid-jump in the expectation that something will appear for them to land on. This gets a bit more controversial when applied against ranged attacks that you never expect t get into melee range, but I am sure we have all seen enough ranged attacks being deflected movies...

On the other hand, randomly attacking the air is a bit silly...
