Being a single class fighter is like being straight, but wearing a fedora and watching MLP. It'd almost be better if your son was gay instead.

Cancer Mages ignore all negative effects of the diseases they have. Book of Vile Darkness, where the Cancer Mage is from, *also* contains diseases with beneficial side effects.

>>26512247
It's a fucking 0 level spell.
You are a dorf. You go to your dorf wizard and ask him for your coming of age badge of no-light. It costs something like 1k, which you have by the time of 2nd level. You walk around constantly surrounded by a 20ft sphere of darkness you can see through.

>>26515347
Same problem as Mystic Theurge (I assume you're talking about going Ultimate Magus or whatever the sorc/wiz crosscasting PrC is). You have to drop four whole levels of wizard and three levels of sorcerer before you get in, meaning you're constantly behind. Early levels are hell, because when everybody is screaming at you 'Summon something to kick ass!' you can only respond with 'sorry, would you like another magic missile?'

And int/cha bonus sounds nice, but it turns out to be far more efficient to just focus on one stat and continue boosting that, because the return on investment for increasing a single stat is more than linear in practicality.

Well I figure I'd focus more on support in the lower levels (shit like blur and mage armor) as I still retain usefulness, because +4AC is ALWAYS useful.

And int/cha would be my two highest scores to start with anyways, but then I'd have to actualy put something in wis because wizard.

And yeah, early shit sucks, but when you get later, it gets fun.

Unless you're a dyke, in which case the closet thing is kinda academic, you're supposed to get oral, not give it.

>>26516226
PF Theurge is probably a little better. Every level of Mystic Theurge gives +1 to your arcane caster AND divine caster class levels, they can mix-and-match prepared spell slots from either class so you can have a whole lot of cleric spells, whole lot of wizard spells, or a point between the two... And at Mystic Theurge 10 they can cast two spells as a single action. When Wizard and Cleric have pretty great spell lists. Seems decent, though more geared towards making the multiclass feasible, rather than making it exceptionally powerful.

Eye of the Storm, instant cards with flashback, Runic Repetition, cards that untap your lands, and a whole bunch of cards that require human interaction to resolve.

Basically, you stick Eye of the Storm out there. You cast a card that untaps lands, it goes on Eye of the Storm. You cast your card with flashback, it goes on Eye of the Storm. Untap your lands. You cast Runic Repetition, it goes on Eye of the Storm. Untap your lands, return the card with flashback to your hand. Cast Stitch in Time. It goes on Eye of the Storm. Untap your lands, flip your coin. Cast your card with flashback. It goes on Eye of the Storm. Untap your lands, return your card with flashback to your hand, and Stitch in Time is on the stack. Run out your flashback card again. And again. And again.

There are now a number of copies of Stitch in Time on the stack equal to Graham's Number. You cannot resolve the game state without individually flipping each coin to determine how many extra turns you have. The only option for all players involved at this point is to scoop, as actually trying to resolve the game state at this point will take so long that the last star in the universe will have burnt out eons ago by the time you manage it.

It works with other things, too. My personal favorite is Time Spiral, since even if someone decided to try and resolve the first couple dozen instances of it they end up putting significant wear on their decks and sleeves and it takes much longer to resolve each instance of the spell than Stitch in Time.

Right now I've got a theoretical mono-blue setup of Eye Of The Storm, Runic Repetition, Memory's Journey and Time Spiral. The mono-blue helps tie in stalling tactics like counter-spells.

Eye of the Storm goes for under $0.50. Time Spiral is about $20.

As for cards that require human interaction, you need that interaction to result in a game state outside of anybody's control. So coin flips and library shuffles are good ideas. I recommend going Izzet colors with it since that gets you access to all sorts of coin flippy goodness.

What if either of you views sex as more than a bunch of tit-for-tat trades?

For example, what if you just like pleasing each other? Or if you enjoy giving each other oral?

Are such relationships really so unimaginable that you need to ask what possible reason other than trade you could have for pleasing a partner?
>>

If you enjoy giving oral then your partner getting oral from you is 1 for 1.
