JaronK: I was trying to think of a metamagic to add to Detect Magic for the Hindsight trick but in someone's butt. (Since the answer to "where are you?" is "in the BBEG's butt" so Hindsight should work.) But if you're going to cast Doom Scarabs you might as well just cast SMx for a huge spider. On the plus side, SNAIII can get you 1d4+1 monkeys.
While I have been following the insane turns this thread has taken, I had to fight hard to resist laughing uncontrollably at work when I got to this part... |

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.

Well, that was one of the original ideas but with wildshaping into a giant ape. So question: Is there anything that lets you turn into a swarm of animals or magical beasts?
Swarm, specifically. 'cause then you could be the swarm of monkeys. (Magical beasts would give you flying monkeys over just regular monkeys.)
Edit: Actually, polymorph seems to allow you to become a swarm... So there you go. Forget SNA, just polymorph yourself into a swarm of monkeys and bring it on like Donkey Kong.

And again, Factotums can do that easily, so that might be the way to go.
Also there's the Swarm Shifter Template, if you can pull it off.

Factotums: We can crawl into your ass, transform into a swarm of flying monkeys and then fly out and impress people to the point of fanticism while we do it. Is there anything we can't do?

Tell why kids like cinnamon toast crunch?
Wait, that's a knowledge check isn't it? Nevermind, they're all over that too.
Seriously, is there actually something a Factotum can't do? Because now I'm not sure there is.

So, we need Factotum x/exemplar5, what else? |

I was totally thinking about a Factotum Exemplar, maybe throw in 10 levels of Chameleon? But they don't quite have infinity skill points (I wish), but you can get DMM persist much easier. floating bonus feat would be nice too.

So, does anyone have other tricks that do NOT involve crawling up someone's ass?
(For the record, raping it is okay, just no more crawling in.)

I'd just go Factotum 15/Exemplar 5
Um, I can make an interstellar spaceship. Does that count as a dirty trick? Oh, and what about the Shrink Item Anvils thing, or Explosive Rune Grenades?

I'd like to see your interstellar spaceship.  Did that just come across as the lamest Trekkie pickup line ever, or is it me? |

Heh, the spaceship is actually quite complex, but there's a few basic principles, and the first can be used to make a recoilless rifle in D&D.
Basically, take a Decanter of Endless Water, attach it to a 1 foot long 1 inch diameter Riverrine tube (so it can't break under the stress), and then add in that rune that makes all water that passes over it turn to steam (I can't remember the name or location of the rune, sorry). Now, in full blast, that Decanter pumps out 5 gallons of water per second, which when shot through the tube and turned to steam has half the thrust of the space shuttle engine. Put two of these together back to back and shout "CLEAR" before firing a rock or something... judging by the falling rules to figure out the damage of that rock based on the speed it should hit, we're talking about 5kd6 damage. Yehaw.
Anyway, aim these things in one direction and you've got mini rockets... just put enough together to get all the endless thrust you'd ever need, and since mass increases as you approach reletavistic speeds, the thrust will actually increase too. Nifty.
Okay, so we're part way there. Next, you'll need Chambers of Comfort, which give free fresh air and keep the temperature at 70 degrees, so that handles atmospheric systems pretty easily.
And of course radiation and asteroids are an issue... at these speeds you can't turn easily. Get prismatic shielding (Stronghold Builder's Guidebook) to protect you. Then try using Portable Holes permanently installed into the floors to greatly increase the space inside this thing without the ship being too big. Also, a nice Captain's Table should handle food.
That's the basics of it.

Yeah, and then you arrive at new planets, craft a portal (Stronghold Builder's Guide again) and now you just built stargates. Whee!

I had them inscribed in a book, and then tossed a targeted Lesser Dispel on the book via a wand. 1d20+3 had a very tough time going past a DC of 20.
Pieces of BBEG *everywhere*. That is, until the DM arbitrarily Rule 0 the whole thing so that the Runes were just wiped and I lost both the book, the wand charge and the action.
Like I said, he went librarian crap...

I'd have let you do the grenade =P
I still have fond memories of the campaign I played in where I looted the dead NPC cleric BBEG (I was playing a cleric, so looting NPC clerics was a big priority for me) and found a bunch of scrolls (and a +2 Warhammer that could cast Knock, woot!).
When I told the DM that I was reading the scrolls, he grinned handed me a large piece of paper that said "So this is how it feels to read Explosive Runes..." It was a memorable moment.
