I was thinking about this: Multi-Headed(12) Wasnt the maximum number of added heads 7 ? Up to seven heads may be added to a base creature. |

Where are you seeing that quote? I'm looking at Savage Species, and on page 125, it lists the maximum number of additional heads for a huge sized creature at 11 (12 total).

Over at the old TO board somebody (JaronK) decided to abuse lightning maces and aptitude shenanigans. What it comes down to is either not triggering often enough to even double the attacks or it triggers often enough to get infinite attacks more than 99% of the time. Please don't ask me to explain. The math was *not* pretty. I had to ask my calc teacher. She *thought* I was right, but couldn't suggest a more accurate approximation.

I presented it like a java program along with my logic all written down. The teacher's response? "That seems like the right approach, but I'm not sure how to get a better approximation. Let me take it home to think about over the weekend." The teach never got back to me. |

I wanted to, but my head keeps spinning! There's too much going on!
Maybe if someone described it to me as a DND monster encounter or something...*hint hint*
I may write something up, but I'd take the same approach that I think should be taken in drawing it, which is to draw the creature through each stage of the templating.  |

The woman understood *my* stuff. She just didn't know how to get further. I also bounced my math/logic off my brother. He initially said, "Wrong," but later after a full explanation of the logic said, "Damn. You're right, but I can't refine any further," as well. I hate it when I can't get an exact answer. |

Well... That article was posted in 2002, and Savage Species first printing was in 2003. So Savage Species is the updated version, takes precedence, and 12 heads is the max for Huge size. |

Here comes another step up. First we're going to PAO into a mindflayer sometime during our leveling. We'll ditch two levels of fighter and the feat rogue (down three feats) and pick up 3 levels of Illithid Savant. Now we get back a feat via IS, so we're down two. But we can pick up a class feature... Thousand Cuts, sound good? Next Mr. IS worships an Elder Evil, getting 5 more feats (1+1/5HD), so we're UP 3 feats from where we were. DCFS makes those feats whatever we want them to be. On top of that, the Red Wizard is going to pick up Arcane Disciple War and Craft Staff so he can make a Staff with Divine Power. When this monstrosity takes full ranks in UMD (cross-class, albeit) the base is 19, plus whatever items we can come up with, so casting the Divine Power from the staff is not an issue. Now we're at full BAB again. Net gain? +1BAB, +3 Feats, Thousand Cuts. |

We can DCFS an Elder Evil feat into it at level 17, we qualify for the epic feat via dragonwrought kobold. Then we can PAO into the Mindflayer for the last 3 levels. as Illithid Savant |

Just have to do it after gaining PTWF, meaning we have to move it down in the progression. We still meet all the prereqs of having the feat (just not to take the feat).
Dam... Ninjad.
