[QUOTE="Atanatotatos, post: 4530552, member: 46957"] My "Ancient" Pc. It still needs some tweaking and double-cheking, making high-level wizards from scratch is a mess. The background is an initial idea, i can expand easily on it as I read other ideas as well... Ideally, the 1st lvl PC might be a Swordmage Eladrin, clearly a descendant both in race and powers.... Trasimakos Arkeion, Human Wizard/divine oracle, lvl 20 [sblock=stats] Str: 9 Dex: 15 Con: 11 Wis: 18 Int: 24 Cha: 13 AC: 36 For: 27 Ref: 34 Will: 33 HP: 107 Healing Surges per day: 6 Speed: 7 Initiative: +16 Senses: Normal vision, passive perception 31, passive insight 31 Religion:??
