I can do Sundays, not Saturdays. I'll join that party.
Vanigo, you underestimate the sheer power of free time and numerous sourcebooks.
That's, what, head, face, belt, cloak, arms, shirt, necklace? Kinda gimps you in any other situation. I assume you got this stuff just to kill him and didn't use it for anything else?
Nope, paid a little extra to have them as slotless components. Warforged are winners.
You do get a ton of nice immunities from Warforged Juggernaut, but how'd you get energy damage immunity? That's tough to come by, pre-epic, especially if most of your item slots are already accounted for. (It would be hilarious if this guy could take down a decently-built caster with an intelligent spell selection, but a stupid blasty-flying mage could take him down no problem.)
I used my slots mainly for this, plus the Sharn Consciousness I shared had a saint in it that gave some handy immunities.
(By the way, when you say concentration, you mean constitution, right? Didn't know there was a way to do that for reflex saves.)
Nope, concentration. I even got myself some items to enhance my concentration check. This sounds weird, but this is how it worked.
Ring of Evasion grants reflex evasion. The Tabard of Valor grants fort/will evasion. You can take the feat Martial Training up to three times to gain a maneuver, and thus I gained these three.
Moment of Perfect Mind - As an immediate action, you can replace any will save with a Concentration check.
Action Before Thought - As an immediate action, you can replace any reflex save with a Concentration check.
Mind over Body - As an immediate action, you can replace any fortitude save with a Concentration check.
You might be thinking that this trick would work only once, but there is a reason this character has a single level in Warblade. You can make a single attack and regain all your maneuvers previously spent. With the double-actions provided by the Sharn Consciousness and the acquirement of the Quickness ability from a Choker, this is a trivial cost.
With a shield enchanted with Mystic Shield as a constant effect, I was immune to all spells of 6th level or lower.
WTFBroken. I don't know where mystic shield is from, but judging from the globe of invulnerability spells, it's got to be ninth level. And a ninth level spell as a constant effect on an item? You just don't do that pre-epic, especially if the original spell lasted 1 round/level, which I certainly hope it did. I mean, that comes to what, 612,000 gold, just by the spell level*caster level*2000 thing? Way over the 200k limit.
It's actually an 8th level spell from the Anauroch: Empire of Shade adventure module. It lasted 1 minute per caster level, and though it was my most expensive item by far it easily fit within the 760,000gp wealth by level that 20th level characters get. I think I put it on my armor spikes to have it count as my Ancestral Relic and thus lower the cost somewhat.
