Help with my stronghold
« on: February 20, 2010, 06:43:13 PM »
For a solo campaign
So my psion is a level 20 egoist (still not completely sure on the build)

She was a human, who then got transformed into an Elan, and she wants a place to live and find her peace without being disturbed when she is not on adventure. She likes her solitude and wants her stronghold well protected from intruders.

I am able to take the Landlord feat and build stronghold and then later reform all 20 levels again. However Leadership, and Thrallherd are not allowed.

Around level 9 she hired a psion shaper to manifest Genesis for her which costed her 6530 gold. Then she spent many days planeshift back and forth between her demiplane and the material plane transferring trees, plants, and grass. Her demiplane is a temperate climate and it has has a lake. (She has Knowledge nature and so studied on how to dig up trees and plants without killing them) Then planeshift, psionic a hired druid to cast plant growth 8 times so that all the plants on her plane would flourish (150gold per casting for 1200 total)

She also hired a wizard to cast a permanent leomond's lasting shelter for 14000gold. She will stay in the shelter until close to 20th level when she has more gold to fund the rest of her stronghold.

When ready to continue her stronghold she will invest in a lyre of building 13000gold take enough cross class preform ranks to be able to play it. She will also pick up fabricate psionic.

Her stronghold design is pretty simply a Cube of Obdurium (the stuff worth double of adamantite) which are augmented to be lead lined, air tight, transparent, ethereal solid, magically treated, and have elemental resistance 60 (to all)

Then there are wooden walls on the inside that make up the rooms and holes in them create windows.

There are 2 rooms, one fancy library worth 2 ss, and a fancy bathroom. Since She is using fabricate and also took craft skills she gets a 20% discount on these components.

The entire stronghold is built on the material plane but is augmented to fly, planeshift, burrow, and submerge at a slow speed. Each room is augmented with a chamber of comfort (70F regardless of outside temperature) , an invisible servant, missing chamber (cannot be scryed on).

In the bathroom is a decanter of endless water for the sink and tub. And there is a bag of devouring for wastes. The library is stocked with master books on knowledge psionics. And there is a shield guardian inside to defend it.

The stronghold is being built in a lawless area and is mobile so 15% discount

If your going to simply "reform" all 20 levels after completing it, I suggest retraining into an artificer and taking as many price reducers as possible (see thread in my sig). Secondly instead of making your fortress fly, use an airship as a fortress it flies much faster.

Here is a list of a lot of good upgrades to have if you have the money (this is also where I got the airship as a fortress idea).

The flying is more for kicks when the character feels lazy. Most of the time the stronghold will stay on her demiplane. She will have greater teleport and planeshift herself so she can just pop to where ever she wants when she wants. As an elan she will supplement her food and water needs psionicly and only need 1 hour of sleep (Hewards magic sleeping sack or whatever it's called from CM) And she only needs to trace for 4 hours anyhow.

And psychic reformation doesn't let you change class levels only powers, feats, and skills. So no retraining Sorry

No, I literally meant retraining, not psychic reformation. If your DM allows it (which they should since its a solo game) all it takes is one quest per retraining iirc. I didn't know which method you were using since all you said was "reform."

You should add on spell turrets (DMG II).

And have something able to use a lyre of building do so.
