Voadam: +0 LA tieflings can be found in the back of PGtF. The only thing they lose from their MM counterparts is their outsider type.

My character would come complete w/wands of CLW and lesser vigor. Probably as would have 1 spell/level devoted to healing. After figuring out skill bonuses in my head, he would be better at scouting than I thought +17 spot/listen all the time after all applicable bonuses.

Personally I think this is better, but your choice Voadam. The wands will definitely help after battles.

Thanks, I don't have the PGtF so that is good to know. Are they subtype human?

Level 6 mithril full plate soulknife with a feat going to medium armor, and the other two going to psionic meditation and psionic weapon.

I don't have the PGtF on me, I can post it later tonight (unless someone can help out)

Here's another option:

Yes.

That depends, please let me know which options you're thinking and I'll approve/dis-approve. I've already said traits & flaws are allowed.

I'm not familiar with 1e (started with 2e), but the concept works for me, as long as the evil character: a) fits into the group (you've already touched on this) & b) obvious "evil" acts aren't committed (i.e. murdering/attacking peasants, etc.)

I was eyeing class variants and paragon racial levels, but the mithril full plate route through a feat turns the straight soulknife into enough of a tank for me and the tiefling paragon class is not really tempting after looking over its particulars.

The PG version being humanoid type sounds closer mechanically to human with fiend bloodline than a native outsider does IMO so I'm looking forward to that option. If it is just tieflings who can be targeted by hold person and charm person and favored enemy human I'm all for it.

In the 1e MM and Manual of the Planes Tiamat resided in the 1st layer of Hell and guarded the entryway for Asmodeus. Abishai devils (the dragon-like devils with various colors) were her servitors. In the 2e Book of Hell and Planescape stuff and in 3e she was not there and a pit fiend devil commanded the first layer IIRC.

[B]Weight:[/B] 195b
[B]Eyes:[/B] hazel
[B]Hair:[/B] brown with beard and moustache
[B]Skin:[/B] lightly tanned

Appearance:An average human Drax's most keen feature is his flowing beard and
moustaches which he is quite proud of(much like a dwarf). He has a
small scar on his left cheek from a long ago fight that his beard
covers a little.

Personality: Draxton is open and honest and will give anyone the benefit of the
doubt he tries not to judge to harshly by ones apperance and race. It's
one of the reasons he no longer lives with the dwarves.

Background: Draxton was part of a group from Helms priesthood that ventured into
the remote kingdom of the dwarves to help bring Helm's blessing to some
new construction. Drax fell in love with the dwarven way of live and stayed
on sometime after the other priests had left. He was helpful in many was to
the dwarven people but being a human finally called to him the wandering and
call to adventure. So he has forged new friendships and comrades in arms with whom
he is now with.

Modus Operandi: Power up melee fighters and play medic after combats.
He will stay away from a fight and use spiritual weapon
and meld into stone.

Graf - I like the halfling battle sorceror idea, lightly armored sprintly around the battlefield, counters the little one's slow speed. (and it's dungeon-friendly ) BTW you're right about not being Eberron, but I like how halflings are done there.

As for the second idea, it could work, it just needs more fleshing out. I like that they're a little off

S@S - what books are the draconic feats from?

Updating OP with current applicants.

Cool. I really like the eberron halfling dinorider too.

I'm having trouble getting the second idea to "jell". In my mind he'd be some sort of rogue/archivist but that's not really a playable combination (There's no divine trickster and even if we cobbled something together I'd spend most of the game at the "low hump" with weak combat abilities, little hit points and few spells).

edited a the follow part
Some help with healing:
I was toying with the idea of taking the mark of healing. But I'm a little bit tight on feats.

I don't suppose I could trade the familiar option + a feat for Wild Cohort and the Least Mark of Healing (I think there are some decent healing items in Dragonmarked...)

Much better idea: Do you allow the Blood of Eberron Class feature from Keith Baker's Dragonmarked Article (Dragon 351)? Basically you give your familiar and get Blood of Eberron.

The Blood of Eberron class feature grants an animal companion as if you were a druid of half your sorcerer level (this stacks with druid and ranger levels).

Welcome to Enworld Jerrand. I've only been playing for a few months now myself. Good luck!

I don't have that issue, but what class feature do you give up? The Familiar?
