Missed this post earlier. Yeah, I suck at backgrounds, so plagerism should do me some good here.

Anyhow, for anyone who didn't see my absence thread, I'm going away for a few days - I'll be back on Tuesday. Hopefully that won't foul up the planning here too much. I'm really looking forward to the game.

Are you going to be doing anything similar to Arast here? because if you are, I could always hunt down the 10th level version of your Archivist while you're out.

Here's my guy's completed stats. I applied a couple variants. First, I took the Holy Warrior variant from Complete Champion p. 49, which sacrifices my spellcasting ability to gain bonus feats at levels 4, 8, 11, and 14. Second, as per PHB II p. 53, I sacrficed my ability to call a special mount in order to gain the Charging Smite ability.

Allright, I've decided to go with the Warlock.
I think I'm also going to be advancing as an Enlightened Spirit in game.
SO we have a paladin who turned gray, and a Warlock who got enlightened...

What's an enlightened spirit?

Prestige class from Complete Mage.

Requirements : Know: Planes 8 Ranks, Eldritch Blast 3d6, Good Alignment.

You loose your invocation progression but instead gain powers designed to fight evil.[sblock=Enlightened Abilities]
BAB 3/4, Good Will saves, 2 skill points/lvl, d6 Hit Die.
+1 sacred bonus to AC @ lvl 2 and each 4 lvls after
Eldritch blast damage goes up every even level

Aura's of Courage(same as paladin) & Menace(-2 Atks/Ac/Saves any hostile creature within 5' until they hit me) @ lvl 1
Spirit blast Invocation (+1 damage/die to undead) @ lvl 1
Celestial flight(Same as fell flight invocation but you manifest celestial wings) @ lvl 3
Tongues @ lvl 4
Energy Resistance 5 @ lvl 5
Shape Invocation(Learn any shape invocation from the warlock list that you can use) @ lvl 5
Holy Blast Invocation (+1 damage/die to evil outsiders + Dimensional Anchor) @ lvl 7.
Transform Magic(greater dispel but you heal 5 dmg to any ally within 30' for each spell level dispelled) (can't transform your own invocations) @ lvl 9
Death Ward @ LVL 10
[/sblock]

Of course, that's the one "Complete" book I don't have. That sounds pretty awesome.

Yeah, It's my second favourite WOTC book published so far. (First being Complete Arcane b/c they introduced my favourite class ever.. the Warlock).

Complete Mage has THREE prestige classes specifically geared for warlocks[Enlightened spirit, and Eldritch Disciple(warlock/Divine caster combo) and Eldritch Theurge(Warlock/Arcane caster combo) *DROOL*, and a few others that are just fun [Abjurant Champion (being added to every fighter-mage I ever play from now on), and Ultimate Magus(Combination Sorceror/Wizard] as well as lots of cool new invocations, Spells, and feats (Though the only feats useful for Warlocks are the Fey heritage/Fiendish heritage lines).

Seconded Complete Mage, love the book. My face-to-face conjuring master specialist is one level away from being able to cast quicked standard-action conjuration spells for free. I'm so excited!

But it's got a lot of flavor feats for all arcane classes, options for all classes, such as divine counterspeller. It's just a great book, in my opinion.

A quick background, will be improved as the others post theirs. Making more a Big background than an individual.


Arcandes was built short after the war begun, he was designed to be a support unit for the rest of the Warforged battalion, that was part of the 51th company, Airborn.
With much temper for a construct, Arcandes became known by his free spirit, and indomitable will. Warforged under his command became really hard to beat, since Arcandes fortified his brothers with his infusions. He made some friends in the company, which seems to treat him not as a 'thing', and consider him a person.
After the war was over, he stick with those people, since he had no objectives, no goals, more than explore his freedom.
