With the power of my God Hands!

Just had an interesting thought. Both pale masterLM and renegade mastermakerMoE are 10-level spellcasting PrCs that replace one of a character's limbs with an artifical one (undead or contruct, respectively) and grant some of the traits of the relevant type.

A character with at least 1 level of RM and 6 levels of PM would have one warforged arm and one skeletal one. What's the best build we can get from this?


Here's the class tables:
[spoiler]
Quote from: Renegade mastermaker
d6 HD, Average BAB, Good Fort/Will

1 Battlefist, craft master
2 Battlefist (+1), self-repair, +1 casting
3 Supporting construction, +1 casting
4 DR 1/adamantine, +1 casting
5 Battlefist (+2), +1 casting
6 +1 casting
7 Embed component
8 DR 2/adamantine, +1 casting
9 Battlefist (+3), +1 casting
10 Construct exemplar, +1 casting
Quote from: Pale master
d4 HD, Poor BAB, Good Will

1 -
2 Animate dead, +1 casting
3 Darkvision, +1 casting
4 Undead armor affinity (10%), +1 casting
5 Control undead, deathless vigor, +1 casting
6 Undead graft, paralysing touch, +1 casting
7 Tough as bone, weakening touch, +1 casting
8 Undead armor affinity (20%), degenerative touch, +1 casting
9 Undead cohort, destructive touch, +1 casting
10 Deathless mastery, deathless master's touch, +1 casting
[/spoiler]

And prereqs:
[spoiler]
Quote from: Renegade mastermaker
Type: Humanoid
Skills: Craft (armorsmithing, blacksmithing, gemcutting or sculpting) 8 ranks
Feats: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Craft Wondrous Item
Quote from: Pale master
Alignment: any nongood
Skills: Knowledge (religion) 8 ranks
Feats: Skill Focus [Knowledge (religion)]
Spells: Able to cast command undead and vampiric touch as arcane spells
[/spoiler]

My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

Be a warforged (shouldn't that make you more warforgy?)

Heal from negative, positive, and repair spells.

Immunity to precision based damage... forever!

Eh, I don't know.

Wait, would something with both construct and undead traits require something that bypasses both immunities to precision damage at the same time to SA?
[spoiler]Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

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".

That humanoid prereq sure sucks balls...

Strongheart Halfling Wizard 5 / Pale Master 10 / Renegade Mastermaker 1 / Abjurant Champion 4

1,b Mounted Combat, Ride-by-Attack
3 Skill Focus: KnRel
5b Craft Arms and Armor
6 Ride-by-Attack
9 Improved Familiar
12 Combat Casting
15 Craft Wonderous Dildos
18 free.

Use Ride-by-Attack while riding/flying your improved familiar to get off some of the strongest touch spells in the game along with your fists of mighty "oomph".  Don't forget to cast Greater Mighty Wollop on yourself.  For extra style use Disguise Self (shared with your familiar) to make yourself look like the smallest dragonrider ever.

If you're going RM anyway, might as well go RM 6 to get the stupidly large HP bonus.

IIRC, you get 1 hp for every magic item you embed in yourself or so. You craft tons of really cheap items - like, 10 gp or so each - and trade your WBL for hp.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

+1 hp per warforged component.

All magic items can be crafted as warforged components.

There are really cheap slotless magic items.

Be an Incarnate Construct Warforged (with your choice of +2 LA in templates, if you like cheese), just so you're a Warforged becoming Warforged. Take Adamantine Body, while you're at it.

EDIT: Oh, and since you've got no racial traits to lose (if your choice of templates was wise), be Dragonborn.
So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

If I say something about real world physics, and someone disagrees, assume I am right 90% of the time. This number goes up to 100% if I am late night posting - trust me, my star dust sibs.

If you're going Renegade Mastermaker load up on Construct Grafts (found in Faiths of Eberron).  Among other things, a full set of all five grafts gives you DR 6/Adamantine that stacks with other sources of DR X/Adamantine. 

RM adds another 2 and selecting Adamantine Body as your bonus feat at RM10 provides another 2. 

Overall, DR 10/Adamantine for minimal investment is not bad.

Of course, what's the point of DR when you have scoutercrushingly many hp?
