Eschaton OOC

[Voidrazor]

Now it's either a tainted arcanist or a bloodclaw master

Levels in Tainted Sorceror are OK, but would have nasty RP consequences and would carry an automatic association with the lovecraftian entities dwelling in the far realm known as the Outer Dark. If Eschaton society found out about you (and it is rather difficult to keep secrets in Eschaton) things would get difficult. It would make for a very interesting character though.

Bloodclaw Master would, of course, be fine.

Miss Delecorte stands just over 7.5ft tall with onyx skin and long platinum blonde hair with saphire blue eyes. Her opalecent and impecibly manicured nails match the set of delicatly arching horns that rise from her hairline, and the pair of light feathered wings folded at her back. She has had all of the hair from her forehead on down meticulously and permenantly removed (except for the most petite eyebrows).

Through minor illusions she usually hides the wings and horns, so as to not upset the less...diversified. This shrewd negotiator makes her way by moderating hostile takeovers of entire systems, accepting surrenders and even serving as a high profile courier when messages cannot be allowed to fall into the competition's hands (or claws, tentacles, cilla etc)

Through her subtle manipulations and charms, a corporate commerce world happened to find itself suddenly "unruled" so she quietly slid into the role.

did they revamp the monster of legend template somewhere else? I don't have access to hundreds of books and i was just using the 3.0 MMII version (only version i have) and it has half as many mods as the half celestial so why would it have LA +7? maybe a +3

I have no idea what savage progression is
The other post i meant either cleric or dragon shaman not both

And aside from a really freeform 3.0/3.5 hybrid game I've been playing the last couple of months, I haven't played anything in 4 years. So I'm just a bit rusty.

So the monstrous hit dice count along with the LA (ie: minotaur counts as 8 ECL, and the werebear counts as 9 ECL) I was only counting the LA alone.

So let's try this again. Half-Celestial Minotaur werebear 1st lvl dragon shaman.

Gavagai - Very good questions. The PCs will probably be physically separate but be able to contact each other any time though a psionic version of the internet. Gameplay will probably center around maintaining and expanding one's personal base of power while other PCs and NPCs jockey for leverage over each other.

So the little story on Dizorxthon in the beginning is an example of a character background / agenda, and not so much an intro to a meta plot of a campaign. A "citizenship" is in fact rewarded to any kind of creature, no matter how alien their concept of reality would be. Do virtual creatures (i.e., sentient code / imprints of the psi-based internet count as citizens, or do we adhere to the notion that citizens are composed of matter or at least spirit-matter (if there is such a thing)?

Okay... here's my character concept. I'm assuming that Unbodied are an alien race... what with the psifi thing going on. (misspelling on purpose).

The creature known as Maledictus arrived in Eschaton space two centuries ago. Aboard an Alien ship, the creature immediately demanded an audience with the relevant authorities.
Maledictus claimed he fled from a civil war on his home land. He claimed to be the last surviving Cognitor, creatures who simply wished to ponder the meanings of life. In exchange for giving them access to the technology in his ship's databanks, Maledictus was given a planet to ponder upon. He was given command over the entire populace so that he might be taken care of as he pondered phylisophical themes. He was given the title Auturach and shuttled to the planet Korlish.
Maledictus has since taken over the populace through mind control. He has no lofty goals of quiet meditation. He enjoys control, and intends to bring all other planets under his rule.
Maledictus is a natural telepath. Having no physical body, Maledictus often uses his psychcic abilties to suit his needs. He enjoys playing with people's minds, seeing thier brains as little more than putty.
Maledictus appears as a translucent, floathing brain in his natural guise. He has the innate ability to change his form at will, however, and uses this ability to his full advantage.
He keeps the ruse of peace through clever mental manipulation and guise.
Maledictus has developed a telepathic system not unlike sattelite television in its basic implementation. He broadcasts his will through telepthic nodes called "Thought Trodes" which link to every home, work place, and buidling on the planet. By using a select number of low-level psions to use as 'conductors' he can transmit a singal message all over the world without exhausting his power.
He has a standing army, claiming that he needs protection from slaver and pirates and the like. They are all fanatically devoted to him.

What do you think?

So let's try this again. Half-Celestial Minotaur werebear 1st lvl dragon shaman.

The LA for Monster of Legend was in the 3.5 update to the MM2. Its bonuses are signifigantly greater than those of half-celestial, and I think the +7 is about right.

Savage progression is a system for breaking down the abilities of critters that have a high LA/base HD into class levels so as to fit within the ECL cap of a given campaign. And, yep you have to take both the monstrous HD and the LA. And with Lycanthropes you also have to add the base animal's HD. It looks right now though . Since you're keeping the half-celestial template those base HD should all be outsider HD rather than animal or monstrous humanoid, which will boost your BAB saves and skill points.

Customized stat enhancers are fine but you'll have to pay 1.5 times the cost for anything that doesn't follow the body slot affinity guidelines.

No worries about being rusty. I'm happy to walk you through anything that's unclear. And there are a couple people here from Wizard's CO boards. Perhaps they could offer some optimization advice? (nudge-nudge). Anyway, once character generation/selection has progressed more, if any of the characters are much weaker than others, I'll work out some extras to beef them up.

Yeah, the story is meant as an example and to give more of a feel for the world. Virtual creatures with souls could be Citizens. Or a Citizen could designate a soulless sentient to run their world, but there'd be some RP downsides to it.

 

[ravenkith]

Game on?

Still need players? If so, I'm in.

Probably run a Telepath/Thrallherd, if allowed.

 

[Paper_Bard]

I'm already being a telepath. Also, the leadership feat is unnecessary, we already get thralls. Therefore the prestige class is not very useful.
