interesting little idea about kelsey and bards...spoiler....cheese...

well, heck, of course my post involves cheese...

anybody who has ever played kelsey mod knows a little about the caesara's goons...the first encounter they drop a nice rod, not very useful but a jason special that has some ok features, but the second time they drop a amulet that allows anyone to wild surge....

ok, grab haerdalis, and have him drink up potions of sub genius....

and memorize black blade of disaster....yes, you can memorize spells higher than the bard can legally cast, but you dont have the spell slots to cast them normally...

have him with equalizer in off hand, and wild surge, black blade, and assuming it doesnt turn the urchin female, or sets him on fire or imprisons him (hey, a win win situation!!! yes i still hate bards...) he can wildsurge and cast the spell...hit offensive spin, and cast improved haste normallly...

contrary to the manual, you can cast impr haste on a offensively spun bard and have it stack...(though the spinning bard is very very dizzy...) and attack...

why isnt this different from simply having haer cast from scroll???

cause you can have haer mem a bunch of spells he cant cast, like abu and exploit this amulet to give him some rather good abilities...

and if it sets him on fire, no loss...very expendable...

funny, no????

but interesting cheese... :D ;) :p

You could argue that the Amulet of Wild Magic is cheesy but I don't think this is necessarily a terribly cheesy use of it.

Anybody else have good Amulet of Wild Magic stories? Last time I used it was with Nalia and Disintegrate. Wild Surge: Target Self. Poof. Oops.

Heh, "to be fair"? We're giving you some pretty awesome power as it stands already. Roll the dice, baby. :)

yeah, but a ring of improved chaos shield would make for a lot of fun....

kelsey, the wild sorc....

or even better, if it is a constant effect item, would encourage people to try out the wild sorc kit.....

ok, i admit it, it would allow me to upload a conceptual bun bun that i didnt like much...

the wildmage kensai cleric....

i dislike stochastic anything, and the wildmage kit drove me buggy....

hmmm...i like ethernet but hate token ring...(sorry, slightly lost in train of thought...) but wait, i know ethernet but not tokenring...


but this would be great if on a future patch you built another subquest for kelsey, nalia or the flirt packs so you have this really really cool item your party would quest for...

the amulet of wild surge and the robe or ring of constant effect improved chaos shield...

i mean sola can get this really impossibly powerful moonblade...

constant effect chaotic commands, draw on holy might (bhaal spawn innate type, NOT level capped at 20 wow...) luck, blah blah blah...



:D :p

ok, so i am greedy....
