[QUOTE="Necros, post: 2524318, member: 18768"] I have been working on an idea for a month or so and am interested in feedback. The basic idea is that all the characters are mind flayers, and are part of an Illithid inquisition tasked with invading the surface world. I do not want to start them off as ultra high level characters, as regular mind flayers are considered level 15 that is an issue. Also at issue is the alien mindset of Illithid society and the requirement that all characters be of the same race. In order to provide more variety for the characters I am allowing all of the Psionic Classes, and some monster specific prestige classes for the characters. I am considering a variety of other ways to work within the scenario and help keep things interesting and to maintain campaign variety. One idea is that all players have a thrall that is equivalent of a 3rd level, and that they will begin play as their main character's thralls. This way there will be a variety of character races, and it fits with Illithid society. The players will never play both characters at the same time, but the different adventures would be geared for the different sets of characters. The players would begin the campaign as the thralls, preparing the way for their masters to enter into the upper world, and would advance until the Illithids would become an advancement rather than just high level starting characters. Anyway....I really was just looking for feedback on this idea. What do you think? Any recommendations, or books I should check out? Thank you for any help or feedback you may have. [/QUOTE]
