Got ahold of some of that elven wine crap didn't ya?

That was totally wrong on so many levels....

For the most part, I've played humans. One half-elf in the "mix".... At the end of the epic level campaign, my human cleric of Torm became a half-celestial right before most of the party got killed off (grr! ) She was my fav character.

Right now, I'm playing (another game by the same DM) a half-silver dragon/half human female paladin of Tyr who started as human and got changed the same time as the epic cleric did.... Now she's still trying to deal with her new change and still thinking of herself as human for most things.... the only attributes that changed was her facial appearance and her hands.

Two current games

A human in one.

In the other a Luminous from FFG's Mythic Races, basically a humanoid composed of positive energy.

I've got a mountain dwarf for a game that is supposed to start soon.

One of the nicest things about 3E is that anything can be a character race, as long as you are willing to handle the ECL. And even then, with optional rules from Monte Cook, among others, that needn't even be a problem for long.

What MC optional rules for ECL dropping?

What MC optional rules for ECL dropping?

I thought they were Monte Cook, but it was WOTC, sorry. Unearthed Arcana. I always get that and Arcana Unearthed mixed up.

Basically, you can spend XP to "buy off" your ECL; you spend the amount of XP equal to what you would need to level up for your next level, and "lose" 1 ECL. So, basically, you just don't level up, lose and ECL, but keep the powers gained from it.

While that might not seem that good at first glance, the XP rules for 3.5 give more XP to lower level characters. So, say the party is all 24th level, and everyone gets enough XP to make 25th. You instead choose to "buy off" 1 ECL, making you 24th when they are 25th. Which gets you more XP per encounter than them. I've noticed in play that the characters that do that do eventually tend to level out to power with the rest of the party.

Centaurs. Four on the floor, baby!
I also play lizardfolk a lot. But I hate the weird, humanoid-skull faces 3.x art gives them. My lizardfolk are more like humanoid velociraptors.

 

[Taneel BrightBlade]

haven't yet but some time I want to play a Half celestiel/half silver dragon/human paladin of Bahamet (may by a weretyranosaur too).
