Blue Mage 1/Rainbow Servant 10/Blue mage 9.

With flaws and the right feats, you could probably make his head explode continuously all the way back to level 1, with full blue mage casting the whole way (because a single level + a bunch of spell list expanding feats isn't difficult at all)

Take 6 different base casting classes, none of which are your favoured class. Take one level in each, then with the sixth one go up to level 3. Tada, xp penalties kick in and you'll never level again. Make sure your mental scores are too low to actually cast anything. Might as well take mage slayer while you're at it. Choose mongrelfolk, go dragonborn (mind), then necropolitan to waste away any racial abilities.

Now that will be a nice quote to add to the reposting (see my sig)

Wasn't there one guy in the 339 thread that put all point buy into physical scores, all his money into fancy flatware and a table and sandwich fillings and garnishes plus a little NPC casting/manifesting, and got himself permanently mind switched into a non-animate loaf of bread?

I think that one might be hard to top.

He was, IIRC, a psion who wound up becoming a sandwich, yes. And it's pretty hard to optimize worse than becoming a sandwich (though it will help your survivability--who's going to attack the sandwich the Fighter packs?)

This was like the hero sandwich, but somewhat worse.  The hero sandwich can still manifest.

Ahh, here we go.

Quote
I'll put together the full build when I have more time, but here's a taste.

I will invest everything in physical abilities, and then I will pay for NPC casing of True Mindswitch and Polymorph Any Object such that I am left in the form of bread. Most of my money will be spent on elaborate serving plates and the most delicious sandwich meats available. I will arrange to be placed on a banquet table with spells set to draw in passers by.

In the miraculous event that I am not eaten in a few minutes, I will be at severe risk of death by mold.

I think this has potential.

(For clarity, the bread is polymorphed into a creature, the Psion mind switches with it, then with me, then with his original body. When the polymorph effect wears off, I am bread.)

1. do the pun-pun trick, pazuzu, divine minion, either way it doesn't matter,

2. pun-pun has his familiar(or psi-crystal, etc...) give him an EX ability that takes away all of his ex, su, and sp abilities and makes his ability scores str 0, dex 0, con 1, int 0, wis, 0, cha 0  : add change into a sandwich or a banana, a clump of raisins it doesn't matter

3. enjoy your hellish existence, helpless in five different ways, unable to move and having nightmares


pun-pun is also the weakest character ever, if he wanted to be/ wanted to commit suicide

the only thing to add, i guess, would be a permanent version of every spell that could affect him in a negative way(without killing him) and every adverse condition, blinded, dazzled, deafened, confused, cowering, dazed, entangled, exhausted, fascinated,  panicked, flat-footed, fatigued, pinned, sickened, petrified, paralyzed, turned, nauseated, knocked down, invisible, incorporeal   -[yes some redundancy but pun-pun can do that]
(is there incorporeal mold to worry about?)

edit:add some kind of fast healing/regeneration/ re-appear if you die- lich style  , so he CAN'T EVEN DIE!! - permanently

Surreal seconded.

And I like this last post.

Getting a char. to a 3 / 1a / 1b / 1c / 1d / 1e build, with the 3rd level of class f last,
but somehow having immunity to Resurrection or Reincarnate, or similar.
Too weak to be PHB2 rebuild, is assumed.
Need some sort of anti-psionics field to keep a PsyRef from happening.
Immune to Necro stuff, so the level loss doesn't happen.

Maybe a Super build that commits partial suicide, really is the way to go ?!
Pun into Anti-Pun could do it, but would need to be NOT able to undo it.

Beats Surprise and / or Rolls Initiative,
and immediately back tracks to just before that,
auto-loses against e v e r y t h i n g,
can't be un auto loses is like Termy and Monty territory ... hmm

druid19/blighter1

cleric19/ur-priest1

sounds like a messed up cursed item,

if a druid uses it, gain a blighter level
if a cleric/or other divine caster uses it , gain an ur-priest level
(only 1 level can be gained this way)

great for epic games

There was a thread like that back at 339. Some truly creative characters made it to that thread, it was a riot.

No kidding. The psionic sandwhich trick was incepted (and the term coined) there. That just goes to show you, even seemingly funny or stupid persuits can lead to relevant results.

i was working on a related concept, not the worst in everything, but simply the worst possible at offense and simultaneously the best possible at defense. for one of those annoying-old-man-pester-the-pcs-npc type. i managed to get into survivor by fourth level from savage species by taking three base classes with one high save, each different. obviously, i could get in by second if i took commoner. this character also took the touchstone feat linked to a planar location for a free resurrection. then i took a number of +0 bab at 1st level classes and further boosted the saves while keeping the bab as low as possible. my initial try still had a bab of +7 by 16th level though... i was shopping for defenses against various things.

well, i originally got the idea from the monk class in palladium fantasy. massive bonuses to resist everything: poison, magic, psionics, virtually anything that could kill you... rp oath that you cannot attack anything class feature, rp oath of aggressive pacifism class feature... as in you preach the virtues of peaceful resolution at anyone in your vicinity who is fighting while standing in between them. madly dodging everything they are throwing at (you) each other. lose most abilities if you break oaths or change class too.

pretty much considered the most irritating class in the game. thought it would be fun (as dm or pc) to emulate this in d&d.

IIRC the winner of this last time was a 20th level Psion who used his powers to turn himself permanently into a sandwich.

Even Nup Nup can't beat that... he was able to breathe and didn't just decompose.

IIRC the winner of this last time was a 20th level Psion who used his powers to turn himself permanently into a sandwich.

Actually, the psionic sandwich build was created based on the interpretation that a psion can still manifest powers after becoming a sandwich.  It was a tangent spawned by an earlier build using NPC casting to become bread without having psionic powers.
