If you can use Ebberon it becomes very easy. If you can't Price goes up for rings of sustenance.
1. Get the leadership feat.
2. Get loads of followers that are warforged clerics. It doesn't matter about their class or stats, one level of cleric is a must.
3. Make sure they have the Blackwalker domain from stormwrack.
4. Send them to mine a giant hole in the ocean floor. When they are 1000 feet down, thats 1d6 damage per round (plus the damage they took to get there) to anyone else. The deeps point in earth's ocean is 36,200 feet down or 326d6 damage per minute (average 114 damage per round).
5. Give one of the low level minions your Phylactery(an amulet), and give all others down there a duplicate.
6. Slap on anticipate teleport, Divert teleport, as many anti-divination spells as you can, and repulsion (for the amulets. add Banality if you can use it)
7. Make some giant castle on the negative energy plane where you are clearly keeping your Phylactery
8. Have a book at the end of the castle that is titles "the true location of the Phylactery". It is really the book of explosive runes.
9. Realize you can have multiple Phylacteries. (aka. go Voldemort on them)
10. Give some to many minions at the bottom.
11. ???
12. Profit

That's rather creative. :D

If you are using the wish economy, you can also buy an orbital drop cannon. :D

When you use a tool the way it was designed for -- its intended function -- then it will work very well for you.

But it's not the tool's fault if you use it for something else and you fail utterly, such as trying to eat cereal with a butterknife, pounding nails with a screwdriver, blogging to voice your political opinions, and brushing your teeth with a hammer.

lol.

I'm talking to my DM now about reducing the LA of Lich (or draco lich? I don't think I have this book, Draconomicon?) so that, basically, I get some stat boosts, the undead thing, and the phylactery. -mutter-

If you can get warforged, have the item be a final messenger. Kill the possessor and the Phylactery runs away! :lmao

I don't understand. Is there a reference I'm not getting or something? I forgot what the "orbital drop cannon" was exactly, also.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

it is genius, because you can do it and it works.

orbital drop cannon is abusing the roof runner(or somesuch) feat from cityscape, which adds 1d6/10ft or so fallen to your next attack.  launch people from outer space with a contingent feather fall "after he attacks something", it gets rather silly.

it's a warforged component; when the warforged dies, it flies off to a predesignated target to deliver a message, at which point it deactivates.

so, make your phylactery one, and embed it into a warforged. when he gets killed, the phylactery flies off to a predesignated target(could be you, could be another warforged).

Walker in the waste gets you lich at ECL 13, normal lich gets you lich at ECL 15 (11 + 4 LA) I should have clarified.
Sigh

Did no one read my PrC prereq handbook?? I really should bump that thing. I didn't get enough help to finish it. :(

Quote from: not mine
Cloistered Cleric 1/Walker in the Waste 10
Feats: Magical Training (1), Precocious Apprentice (F1), Heat Endurance (F2)

Take the Sand and Thirst domains and select Black Sand as your Precocious Apprentice spell (off of the Sand domain). Voila, 2nd level WitW entry.

An interesting read, nice to see a civil discussion
The point of Spell Resistance is to make it harder to get buffed.

Wouldn't the spell from Precocious Apprentice be arcane? The prereq specifies that you cast them as divine spells.
