I thought the Dusk Giant's ability was capped at an upper limit of 24HD total?

I really only need it to get me to 21. I never suggested going all out with it...that's what Gate+Barghest or Positive Energy shenanigans are for (think Pun-pun's NI HD, which I'm deliberately avoiding...instead of eating until there is nothing left to eat like he did, or awakening multiple times, I'm doing a strategic smash and grab of a mythal). |

Now, is the dusk giant thing needed simply to add the mythal to the spellbook, and then shadowcraft circle magic to actually cast it, Mythals being evocation and all? Or am I missing something here?

Without commenting on the build itself, I would like to note that I'm annoyed that you put this up in the CO forum instead of the TO forum. It really belongs in the latter due to level of dirty tricks required to simultaneously be a human and gnome transposed into a chronotyryn.

2 remarks on that I have:
1. Kell's most likely using the adaptation section for shadowcraft mage that removes the race requirement
2. Yeah, probably, but the TO section of this board is so quiet as to be like a ghost town, and probably very easily forgotten, it's existence is.

1. Yes. 2. Exactly. 3. Extra fu for Yoda-phrasing  |

Dusk Giant is being used to artificially inflate his levels to 21, cast the mythal, and then when the polymorph expires/whatever the mythal remains. |

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.
Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY! They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.
Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.
Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time. I give you much fu. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |

Shouldn't this be in "you break it you buy it?"

You could also just make Simulacra of ethereal doppelgangers, and then have them replicate...well, anything short of a deity.

They already basically are replications of a deity...so why bother? |

Few questions:
1. How can the build be modified to not have cleric in it?
2. Why the 4th lvl of shadowcraft mage? I don't really recall that one granting anything, since shadow illusion is at 3rd, and the extra reality is at 5th.
3. So how go the details of the mythal?

1. By abusing Nybor's trick to get Planetar casting. Really, you don't miss anything from having it, since all slots are 23rd level and all at obscene CL. 2. Free extend on every spell. 3. Bogged down as usual for this sort of thing. I have a pretty good idea what I want going in it, but the trick is getting it down to a DC where researching it doesn't take nigh on forever (though technically, no resource is truly limited with this guy). |

So, remind me please, how does that Nybor's Psychic Imprint trick work, really?

You know, I had just assumed that he was using it and simply hadn't made a note of it, given the recent conversing on that subject. Even if it's not in the build right now, it can easily be fit in, I'd imagine....

If you really want to muck magic and psionic interactions up nab the Magic mantle. Depending on how literal you are it can have as little effect as changing out transparency works to as extreme an effect as meta-magic work on psionics and visa versa.
