Is two levels of occult slayer worth a 1/day spell turning?

Yes.

bonus to saves, full bab, casting a spell that pretty much immune you for a couple of turns to targeted magic as a free action ?

Yes it is.

and the third lvl is good for fast bruisers too.

Can the quicken spell feat be applied towards a warlock's eldritch blast?

In reply to Adyla The Unseen (msg # 149):

You would need quicken spell-like ability.

Is there suck a feat? Im not near my books at the moment and am. . . Plotting.

Another debate i got into with my buddies a little while back nut never came to a real conclusion a out it. Can you reserve the right to learn a feat on an off level?

So say you hit level 3 and the feat requires level 4. Can you say im not going to learn my level 3 feat till level 4?

Nope when you gain something you gain it, you canlt delay aquiring anything.

In reply to Adyla The Unseen (msg # 151):

It's in the Monster manual, at the end.

Yes, because warlocks are monsters. :)

Monsters? Awww if i had feelings you'd have hurt them.

Im surprised i don't see many barbarian/frenzy beserker players running around here. Is that not as good of an buikd as im thinkingit is or has no one tried it yet?

Im sure there was one way back in my first stint in this arena .... although I think I have something quite vicous in the making .... just need GM Marcus to be back online ;)

I'm thinking warlock with a summoner side at the higher levels. I just gotta make it all work together.

That may be kind of hard to optimize. If you don't care about that though, it sounds like an awesome character!

I've seen it before and the character was pretty dangerous if you let them get going. They're a slow start but facing dozens of summoned monsters can be a pain no matter what level you're at.

True, but remember that if the opponent can get to you, the minions don't matter anymore. Having said that, conjurers, and their ilk, have done well here (Solitude or Bollo for example), but they are far from unbeatable. I would suggest in investing in some way to remain untargeted by your foe (Invisibility, Blink, Fog Cloud, and  an illusion + Sonorus Hum are great ways to control your opponent but they aren't invocations and I don't know if equivalents exist).

We have a frenzied berserker. I think he had to rebuild though because the spell Grease shuts down frenzy (can't use the balance skill during frenzy so you can't move).

Summons obviously do well, as you're upping the total CR stacked against the other person. But many summons, as stated, aren't particularly great detectors so there are ways to lessen the advantage.

Brilliant...that hadn't crossed my mind.

I was just going to blast him to small bits when I fought him.

Can't rage if I disintegrate the whole berseker. =)

DAmm i thought about doing that in our match but then i realised that rqage has an exclusion for balance. Didn't even check Frenzy.

I believe any source of Freedom of Movement would negate the effects of Grease, though that might be a grey area. Does it let you walk through magical walls too? Render you immune to reverse gravity and such? Not my favorite spell.

Does anyone know if items that are destroyed in battle (other than consumables used) replaced, or permanently gone? I'm sure I'll be tempted to destroy items, but I wouldn't want to permanently cripple a gladiator (like destroying all of a beatstick's equipment might do).

Any non consumable that is destroyed returns to the gladiator for the next match.

Okay, thanks!

NEW VOTE

Can a blink dog start blinking and stop blinking on the same turn?  If yes, it allows a blink dog (or a character who is somehow changed into one) to be blinking, then stop during it's turn, attack (avoiding the 20% miss chance usually associated with blinking), and resume blinking all in the same turn.

Vote:

A.  YES, a blink dog (and changed character) can BOTH stop and start blinking in the same round.

B.  NO, they can only start OR stop blinking on their turn.

Quote from 3.5 on free actions: "There may be limits to the number of free actions you can perform in a turn."  Basically, it allows for a GM to set how many free actions of one sort or another can be done in one turn and hence the vote.

**This vote can either reflect your interpretation of the rules or be a houserule.

Majority rules and the vote will end on August 14th.

Sorry to be pesky, but can you post/link to the text for the ability?

Link has been added.  Basically, this is a question about free actions and the number and type of free actions we'll be allowing in the Colosseum since WotC leaves it up to the GM.
