Sniper Ninja Bears
« on: July 07, 2008, 08:31:00 PM »
Components:

  • Druid, PHB
  • Warlock, CAr
  • Eldritch Disciple, CM

So, check the adaptation thingy in eldritch disciple's entry. It says that you can change the turn undead requirement to whatever that fits other prestige classes, like wild shape. So:

Druid 1/Warlock 1/Druid +4/Eldritch Disciple 10/Druid +4 (or something that continues your wild shape and divine casting - both would be lovely, like arcane heirophant, but i can't find a way to cast arcane spells).

  • 18 CL Druid casting
  • 11 CL Warlock casting
  • 6d6 Eldritch Blast
  • 19 Wild Shape Levels
  • Only loses venom immunity and a thousand faces from a straight druid, as you gain eventually timeless body.

That's about it. It's late and i need sleep.

Since we're making ninja bears.......

ninja1/druid19

halforcparagon3/monk11/bearwarrior1/kensai5 or halforcparagon3/monk6/bearwarrior1/kensai10 depending on taste, note that half orc paragon allows for a lawful character to rage so the build is kosher

I still fail to see where the Sniper part is coming from.
Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

eldritch blast

In my mind, a sniper takes his foes out from far, far away. I don't know if Eldritch Blast alone allows for that, but maybe that's just me. *shrug*

Man, you don't have to take the topic's title literally. I was thinking of a high natural AC and dex flyer form as a caster and ranged attacker with eldritch blasts. The title is just for fun.

Loosen up a little :D

How about DFA instead of warlock? Though now you wouldn't be a sniper so much as you would a romping fire breathing bear.

Dude, of course I'm not taking the topic's title literally. Bears can't be ninjas cuz they're too big, and they can't be snipers cuz they got no opposable thumbs!

Now there's a tongue-twister...  Why are you assuming circlets of blasting, though, instead of, say... Major Fake Teeth of Blasting? That way they breathe lasers.

Awesomeeeee  :love :love :love

DFA 1/Druid 5/Eldritch Disciple 10/Druid +4

But now i have a difficulty choosing gifts and eldritch spellweave does not work. Still DFA is much better to me than a straight warlock and the Entangling Exhalation feat has a lot more synergy with druids.

Doesn't the description(or somewhere in the class description) of eldrich blast say you can make it look like whaterver you want with in reason, so it could manifest as a sniper rifle that shoots eldrich bullets.

Bears are Mammals, so I don't see the issue there.

But does that make them "Ninjas"? Let's see.

You still need to Fight All the Time. Warlocks have unlimited Eldritch Blast, so they could literally be fighting all the time they aren't sleeping(which ninjas, being Mammals, still have to do, and since that's requirement number one, it beats requirement number 2 on priority). Even if you're blowing up rocks, you're still fighting.

And finally, you have to Flip Out and Kill People. Hmm...i think this calls for Druidic Avenger. Being able to Rage makes us able to Flip Out and Kill People, which will satisfy the final requirement for being a ninja.
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Let's see: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JdLCEwEFCMU

  • Bears can make loud noises when hitting things.
  • Bears can catch things with chopsticks. Hell, they can even have chopsticks for claws. You know, things that chop.
  • Druids have teleport spells.
  • Druids can transform into many things (Wild Shape, A thousand Faces).
  • Druids have a lot of fatality spells, i don't think anyone has a problem with that.
