What about Fear immunity? Does that at least give some resistance to insanity? I don't see how you can be unafraid of something but still have it drive you crazy.  I see that you've never played tetris...  hey guys, what's a good skeleton for Ur-Priest? (And, then, do you just use him like a Cleric?) I guess my question is: I don't really understand why it's so good except maybe the accelerated spell casting progression?  |

OOC-well for that matter he could just ride on my sword, that's about 15'  OOC - That's what SHE said! But, otherwise, that works for me, if you guys are willing. |

That's entirely it. If you ask what's so good about Ur-Priest, you're essentially asking What's so good about Clerics, aside from domains. You get access to cleric spells in the span of 10 levels, which is the big draw. Usually only good to take for 2 levels for most requirements to get into another divine spellcasting PrC and ditch the dead weight.

That's it. Entirely. Which means it only gets good at levels 10+ or so. But after that, you start pulling ahead of the "normal" casters as far as what spell levels you can access, and can get 9th level spells at ECL 14. Other than gaining spells earlier than you should be able to, it is nice to cram a bunch of other dips into a build and still (eventually) get full spellcasting. So you could have something like Hexblade 3/Paladin of Tyranny 2/Ur-Priest X/whatever Y for Charisma to saves twice, or whatever else you can cram into 5 levels. It also makes for quite a nice dual caster, if the first five levels are from a "traditional" caster class. And Binder/Ur-Priest/Anima Mage is just made of win from both flavor and power standpoints. |

Wait, this I'm not sure off. How much money do we start with, and how much extra would it cost to have a bag of holding be in my stomach? And yes, we seem to be quite the insane party. Thankfully I won't be using my spells quite enough to go insane from them. My host will, though! And Ur-Priest is best for pulling off the dual caster tricks, yes. I believe the non-geshalt triple caster (9s in psionics, divine, and arcane) used an ur-priest. |

Sheet is almost done, just waiting on a few answers. Also this contains all the tome stuff, and the appendix b has tome-based stuff. Warlock is the first thing seen there, If it can be used that would be cool. I have the feeling your forgetting something. Maybe food? Also you get more healing out of the eternal wands of cure light wounds that you could get out of the cure moderate.

Countdown to Zombie Apocalypse 97 When you see this, copy it into your sig and -1  Quotes In other words, he thinks there's a "correct" way to play D&D. *sigh* There is: Kill shit and loot the corpse! 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.

Actually only 200%. I only have enough mouths for 2 personalities to speak at once and don't want to have the personalities fight to much. |

 Technically your bonus isn't actually me. However I would appear 300% evil. Hey, would that mean I blind people who cast detect evil? Also could I learn to speak Dvati? It normally requires 2 speakers, but I have 2 mouths. |

Because we are entering a turnip economy. Food is valuable. Everlasting rations give me food. I get stuff for food, or valuable stuff for the everlasting ration container. I have the 6 weeping flasks for the same reason. It will make me a rich man. Er, abomination thing. |

More like Girl: "Look some food on the ground." Me: 5' step into view, full attack. More rations to sell to people. What? I'm evil, it's Soylent green, post-apocalypses so food is low. Looks like I might need help in marketing though  . |

Well, yeah. The two biggest Tomes are Fiend and Necromancy  If I get the special mount ability can I name my Undead Mount as my special mount? If so, does it get the HD and stuff or just the Special Mount abilities(Evasion, Share Spells..)? EDIT: I don't know about you guys, but getting level 5->6 is going to be hard. My power level between the two levels is insane. I go from ~140 damage a round to ~400 damage a round, me and my mount can be invisible, I get paladin spells added to my list, Battle Blessing... Just such a big level up! Also, I need more AC! Eeek! It's only 14! Any good ideas? I still have my +1 LA left to use... Here is me so far. |

Looks like I might need help in marketing though . Seriously, I don't know how we're gonna get through this game without everyone going irrevocably insane.  I think that if we can't get Sanity Resistance naturally, it still makes sense to have some measure of it available through a feat or something else in-game. Eventually when those of us who survive get to be high-enough level, I don't think there's going to be that much that could phase us compared to when we were low-level, especially when we're constantly in the presence of scary shit, all the time. Assuming of course that the game lasts that long. |

We were given sanity resistance 5. With deformity madness it becomes 10.
