If Tome of Battles is allowed, I'd love to try a Jade Phoenix Mage. I've been wanting to play one for a while, but games are few and far between that allow ToB. Likely it will be a level 9 PC...
It may take me through the weekend to get something put together though.
Jade Phoenix Mage it is then
Let me in on any rules variants this ToB brings about please.

Mainly just stances and maneuvers. The Jade Phoenix Mage is basially a Fighter/Sorcerer (or wizard) with a few extra abilities.
I'd prefer not to play a drow, since I'll already be losing two levels of spellcasting.

I probably won't get an all drow party but would be different.
well when you have the time could you find me a link that explains stances and maneuvers please
HM
p.s. almost done my Pathfinder rogue hope someone takes cleric i would have (of course) but I have one in another game and want to try a little of all the PF iconic classes
Yeah, Tome of Battle basically lets melees do some new tricks, brings their power up a bit. And JPM is a sweet class.
I will definitely not be playing Drow, and after looking at my books again, I find that the lowest I would want to swing this would be ECL 8, preferably 9... So, Rhun, wanna partner up? JPM and Bloodclaw Master, working together? I'd be completely focused on melee combat.
And are flaws allowed, HM? I'm guessing yes, by your "pretty much anything", but I always prefer to be safe rather than sorry.
EDIT: I don't think there's a link anywhere that explains what they do, but there's nothing hugely complex. Not like polymorph...
2nd EDIT: And by "what they do", I mean what the maneuvers do... But I will happily e-mail you a write-up of the maneuvers I'll be using (it won't be many, seeing as I'm only going to do a couple levels of Warblade and Bloodclaw Master).

Wealth by Character Level or by ECL (ECL preferred by me, of course, since Character Level will only be 5).
Very good question (unlike whats a +2/+2 feat lol jk)
I think I'm going to rule that you get Character level wealth that will make a few people at least choose ECL +0 races to get more cash besides if I started your 1/2goliath,1/2dragon at lvl 1 you would only get that starting gold right? Not the wealth of a lvl 5 character
Sorry Mowgli that +4 greatsword you were looking at may be a bit expensive lol

Cool w/ me - obviously, I'd prefer it by ECL, but I totally understand!
On another note - I'm also thinking of a character that would fill a needed spot with Rhun and Dragonwriter. They need a Rogue (and a Cleric, but I don't really like playing clerics).
I'm thinking of a monster race from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting - the Shade. However, there's no LA listed for it. It's got lots of cool abilities, but they're by and large only effective when not in brightly lit surroundings. Do you have the FR Setting? If so, could you come up with a level adjustment for me?
If not, or if it will be too high, I may go with Tiefling instead. Still in the thinking stages.

DON'T LIKE CLERICS!!! DON'T LIKE CLERICS!!!! WHA'YA MEAN YOU DON'T LIKE CLERICS!!!!
Hmm i will need to look up this monster let's see if i can google it. brb
HM, if there is insufficient people for groups, I'd be willing to have a character in multiple groups, though, chances are there will be enough people.

p.s. your in trouble mister
Never mind - it's LA +4 (Found it in Races of Faerun). [sigh]The search goes on. I'm tired; I'll look at Tiefling and Drow tomorrow as possibilities for a Rogue character.
And for the record, I love Clerics - every party needs two or three. I just don't enjoy playing them. (That being said, Pathfinder Clerics are better - I'm playing one and actually liking it).

Ah I was looking at FRCS oh well what happened to the 1/2 dragon?? you know someone may come along with a rogue or cleric It is still early in the europe theater (once WD wakes I bet a cleric hits the table) but play what you want if you take a shade I'll be sure to find a drow shade hunter somewhere lol
I won't get to play Brindom (PF Cleric) if the CotCT doesn't get a kick in the pants
And there are more then two or three in the Intelligence Service thread lol
Ok time for the HolyMan to get his eight hours so I can pray for spells when I wake. To all those of you "across the pond" most questions have been answered and ask away those we missed and
Pathfinder has a Tiefling variant that eliminates the LA (they don't do those in PF as of now) by replacing the Resistance (5 Cold/Electricity/Fire) with a +2 to saves vs. those things and replacing the Darkness ability with an at-will cantrip of choice.
Would this be acceptable?
I know, I know . . . I've gone from LA +4 to LA 0! What can I say - I'm fickle!
Still looking at my options, but this one looks good to me right now.
Hmm what's that a question before coffee that is not a good way to start the day.
But if I must.. Let's not start changing races that would be way to much work and here at the HolyMan house we hate work. Tieflings are only LA +1
a level 8 Rogue not stong enough (remember I will reward experience during the adventure)
I will definitely not be playing Drow, and after looking at my books again, I find that the lowest I would want to swing this would be ECL 8, preferably 9... So, Rhun, wanna partner up? JPM and Bloodclaw Master, working together? I'd be completely focused on melee combat.
Sounds like a plan to me!

A cleric could be handy, because we will be getting hit!

Clerics are probably my all time favorite class. Or possibly paladin. It so fun to smite the enemies of one's deity.

Yes, I agree. I just poured my first cup...so nothing complicated for at least an hour!
