Yes I can cast cleric spells, but unlike clerics I have to choose a spells known list. Since I joined specifically as the party healer, one of my 2nd level spells known had to be Cure Moderate Wounds. I filled up four of the rest with as many prereqs for crafting ability score increasing items (Headband of Wisdom, Belt of Giant Strength, Cloak of Charisma, Shirt of Health) as I could, which left only one for other things. That last one is currently Resist Energy (energy resistance 30 for 10 min/level, could be useful for making someone Fireball bait), but I could switch it out for Align Weapon next level.

The biggest problem with Align Weapon, however, is that its duration is short enough that it has to be cast at the start of battle, which means I can't attack for that round. Consider that I use a ranged weapon, so even my first round of attacking is a full attack, and that my bow is holy and therefore pierces most demons' DR, and you should see why I would much prefer having a continuous effect like the holy special property.

Edit: Also, inserting a limit into polymorph:
The caster must have detailed knoweledge of the selected form (appropriet Knoweledge check, DC 15+critter's HD; shouldn't be too hard, as Kaylin has a +12 modifier to each knoweledge check - she makes a 5 HD critter on a roll of 8 or better, 10 HD critter on 13 or better, 13 HD critter on a roll of 16 or better)

and noting a limit that's already there that I missed earlier:
Quote:
SRD, Spells, Alter Self
A body with extra limbs does not allow you to make more attacks (or more advantageous two-weapon attacks) than normal.
and
Quote:
SRD, Spells, Polymorph
This spell functions like alter self...
- so no 12 sneak attacks a round with 12 heads; you are limited to your three iterative BAB attacks, at those BAB amounts (11/6/1, for Kibin) modified by the new ability scores.

Bleh. Guess polymorph won't be quite as useful, kibin... get used to being a wolf unless I have a spare round

Default Re: OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.

Can I change my character? I've decided I'd much rather play this guy than my current character .








Just kidding . My favorite quote from that thread is "XP is for wimps with no universe shattering power." Just goes to show that no matter how overpowered you think someone's character is, there's always something much worse out there somewhere - unless, of course, someone actually managed to sneak Pun-Pun into your campaign before you could forbid it.

Anyway, we're playing at 3:00 Eastern time tomorrow, correct?

Actually, he comes pre-forbidden; I don't have access to Serpant Kingdoms, and thus the creature and ability simply don't exist in my campaign.

Even if I did, he would find he had difficulties when a very, very large cow fell out of the sky on top of his head to reclaim it's cheese while he was still working on building up. It's the only sane way to deal with that kind of thing, you know?
