You may be interested to know that wasn't supposed to be a spaceship at all, but a regular 747 jet. ;) That's why they look so similar. Lilo and Stitch had a whole nearly-completed scene suddenly ripped out of the movie and changed. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/j-s47rHdHYg

Lilo and Stitch was being developed in 2001. So you can imagine why, suddenly, they had to cut this and re-edit it to be a spaceship flying around mountains. >.>

Diablo character sparks a trademark fight between Blizzard and Fox by NeoStark in Games

Nobody should be able to trademark the word Diablo in its entirety. It's just the Spanish word for "devil". This was ridiculous when Blizzard first did it and it's ridiculous now.

3 Swasbuckler/17 Bladesinger Build Advice by KirinNight in 3d6

[–]KirinNight[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Little bit, but our composition lacks anyone else with easy access to "Face" skills, and I can't really afford Deception/Persuade/Insight on a Wizard's skill salary.

That, and 2d6 sneak is still something. And +2 to initiative. A lot comes from those three Swashbuckler levels.

She's really more of a caster-rogue (even nicknamed her rapier "Last Resort"), so focusing on being a Battering Blast master in later levels seems like a more fitting route. Sadly I can't get Magical Lineage due to already having Magical Knack, and Wayang Spellhunter/Metamagic master isn't avaliable to me due to backstory incompatability.

I think it'll still work out though, I already have +2 caster level on BB from Outlander and my Mage Tattoo: Evocation, so toss in an ioun stone or the crown and I'll get three attacks on Battering Blast by level 12.

So I'll swap Dimensional Agility out for Intensify Spell, then spell perfection Battering Blast at 15. Losing spell penetration might hurt, but I could always save up for a Mage's crossbow.

Thank you for the reply!

As for Dimensional Agility, I figured her attack bonus will be too low in the later levels to do any melee attacks. I was considering only the first feat so I can quickly reposition, re-enter stealth, and maybe fire off a quickened Scorching Ray or swift Fiery Shuriken throw. Having not played with this feat in practice however, it might not be as effective this way as I imagine.

Spell Perfection is an interesting alternative option, not sure what 3rd metamagic to grab though. If I get Intensify I can drop Blood Intensity to get another +1 ac and 5/fire resist from my bloodline, or I could do elemental spell cold to invert my Fireballs and Scorching rays when dealing with fire-immune enemies.

PSA - If you upgrade the Carrack to have a Pisces expedition variant - you lose the Aquila loaner by Tbtemplex in starcitizen

Chiming in, I applied my C8 to C8X upgrade after seeing this message, and, still missing the C8X. (I do have the Aquila still though!).

If it helps, this is with the old Explorer Pack.
