Wight apocalypse at level 1?
« on: November 30, 2009, 10:45:10 PM »
Could we get the power to create and command a wight at level 1? Bonus points for survivability. Lets say it is gestalt and 2 flaws are allowed. I am thinking Human Dread Necro/Wu jen.

What feats are there that let you heighten your turn attemts so you can command more HD than your level?

Azurin with Midnight Metamagic + Expanded Incarnum capacity+ Fell Drain?  Give something with 1hd a Neg level.  that gets you the wight.

how about that "lyle the lame" build in the char op arena in the PbP forum? tosses around several negative levels at lvl 1, and has abrupt jaunt.

There's also a planetouched race that can make a weapon unholy once per day.

Well I know how to get the negative levels. The question is how do you control the wight at level 1  :lol

Depends on whether you're allowed to break WBL at lvl 1 with some dirty tricks, and if so, by how much. There's two cheap (<1,000 gp) items, Flametouched Iron holy symbol and Ephod of Authority, that each increase your turning level by one (though the latter will need an adaptation if it is to increase rebuking level), and Improved Turnig increases it by another one. By then you're at 4, but you'll need another 4 to control the wight.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

Command undead on a stick can help, or on a wand most likely. Btw where can i find the rule about negative levels and wights?

It's hidden in the Energy Drain section of the DMG.

Quote from: SRD/DMG
A character with negative levels at least equal to her current level, or drained below 1st level, is instantly slain. Depending on the creature that killed her, she may rise the next night as a monster of that kind. If not, she rises as a wight.

Dread necromancer (whatever.the.planetouched.race.is.that.gets.unholy.weaponry) 1.
Heighten spell + versatile spellcaster
Command undead offers a will save, but two spells hopefully should work  Chain down the guy before you give him the weapon.

Here is what I think the build would be

Azuring Wu Jen/ Dread Necro

1st: TombTainted Soul
Racial Bonus: Precocious Apprentice (Command Undead)
Class Bonus: Fel Drain
Flaw1: Midnight Metamagic
Flaw2: Versatile Spellcaster

I am not sure if the spell to power Erudite can use Metamagic feats on spells that were converted to powers. If it could it would be a better class than wu jen.
