Completely RAW Transformation sequence (Or, "How to Make a Magical Girl")
« on: August 14, 2011, 03:41:40 AM »
Alright, when you take the Soulbound Weapon ACF for the Psychic Warrior, it tells you that you must "select a weapon".

Unarmed Strikes are a weapon, too.

Just take a level in Monk, for Tashalatora purposes AND to make your entire body into a single weapon.

You use a single power, you are called into your hand...

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".

Your body is an unarmed strike. Manifesting the power summons a different unarmed strike, hence a different body.

...which somehow appears in your hand.

Given the previous mentions of magical girls and tentacles, there's just no way I CAN'T visualize that in a dirty fashion.

Yes, but can they move as an attack action? Can they eventually be made of PURE ENERGY?

This can. At 4th and 20th levels, respectively.

Would becoming a +1 weapon also increase your hp and hardness by +10/+2, while setting your saves to a minimum of (1/2CL)+2?

Can the wording on this, be tightened to "You appear in your hand" ... thus making this a Fission / Clone type effect ?!

Yep. I'm totally on board with this. Crank that caster/manifester level.
I've pimped a few Warforged + Fusion + Item + PAO combos, to do just this (among other things).
This is cheaper, easier, earlier.
