Forgotten Heroes - DnD [Back to DnD]

[Amazing Triangle]

I originally jumped up to play an archivist, but I'm wondering if I might be able to change that. If you'd allow it, I'd like to play a Wizard 1/Druid 4/Arcane Hierophant 1 (using Precocious Apprentice to qualify).

Changing your mind is part of the game! I will edit the entry to reflect it. Intresting way to tweek the requirements

What is Precocious Apprentice? And what book is it in so I can read it? Changing your mind is part of the game! I will edit the entry to reflect it.

It's a feat from Complete Arcane (pg. 181) that allows a 1st level arcane caster to cast one second level spell.

Lot- the new knight class interests me too go ahead and try it

Everyone - In the starter threat I posted your ideas so far
And these are the crunchy bits:

I love the backgrounds so far. Keep ‘em coming

Ok Amazing Triangle, I've another question for you. Going with the jungle theme (and possibly dropping the prefix of traveling scholar), how do you feel about anthropomorphic animals from savage species?

If I am not mistaken most of them have an LA 1~2 but have 2~4HD so no too much tied up in race. So no. So are none of the PHB, nor environmental variants, nor Races of books hitting your crazy creature idea button. Lupin or Catfolk?

Well the one I was looking at is the bat, which has 1 HD (which would be replaced with a class level) and +0 LA. If you'd rather keep them out for other reasons though, I'm fine with that.

So are none of the PHB, nor environmental variants, nor Races of books hitting your crazy creature idea button. Lupin or Catfolk?

I like the catfolk a lot, but I don't really want something with a LA. I'll have to look at environmental variants and I must say I'm not familiar with the Lupin...I'll have to look that one up.

Edit: Maybe a shifter would work if you're allowing Eberron material? As a side-note, in your game, will human druids lose their bonus feat while wild shaping?

Edit #2: It just occured to me that the Vanarra (from OA) might be a good fit for this kind of character. They are monkey-like creatures who live in forests and revere nature, plus they give some nice boosts. Would you allow them as a race and possibly allow druid to be one of their favored classes?

1. Eberron races are ok because they are in MM3.
2. I don't understand this question druids retain their feats while wild shaping

This would be an ok race if you add: -2 Cha (you're are a freakin monkey more so the race has an unbalanced score +2 Int, +2 Wis, -2 Str this makes it balanced) and favored class is Druid it fits the class

I've seen several DMs rule that human druids lose their bonus feat while in wild shape because it is a racial ability. I think there was a rules of the game article that said something like this a while back, but it's good to see you aren't using those rules (I always thought they were pretty silly myself).

This would be an ok race if you add: -2 Cha (you're are a freakin monkey more so the race has an unbalanced score +2 Int, +2 Wis, -2 Str this makes it balanced) and favored class is Druid it fits the class

That sounds fair to me and I think I'll be using that race. I'm gonna be a crazy tribal monkey druid with a dinosaur companion...this should be fun!

Ok then you are the last one in. Lets make somthing that doesn't have all of it's levels in Monsterous Humaniod 9 is our total. Moonstone or Voadam a caster, arcane of some sort there really isn't anyone with area damage. Even a Druid would help. Sounds like we have quite the team going! Just get me some backgrounds.

You want me to switch to an arcane caster type? No problem, I'll come up with something.

If you want to play an Arcane caster go right ahead. If you want to play a meat shield go ahead. I was just pointing out the weakness in the party
