[QUOTE="Godlycomplex, post: 7282051, member: 6848099"] For the last 2-3 years we have been playing campaign after campaign.. We play FGR v3.5 He always runs a rather hard game, any screw ups and your character dies(pretty sure he gets a kick from killing someone.) . This isn't to much of a problem. Except. As I make new characters I've started scaling my optimizations of characters making them more durable and survivable. I'm at the point I created a Elan psi war, we are up to lvl 13. I started down the path to run him into a king of smack. He didnt like most of the build so I conceded and compromised with only using natural attack feat..coupled with rapid strike feat. After game play he started in with thats to powerful..and he would have to look into that more to make sure it was legal...guess what..he decided it wasn't, over a matter of "claws of the beast might give you a natural attack, but it's not any different than using a spell of owls wisdom to gain extra bonus spells when u level" .. So I had to re optimize him...then he gets enslaved by a city of mindflayers and beholders ( my own stupidity), so I make a Beguiler mindbender to go rescue him. He completely nyxed this toon saying a pc shouldn't be able to have his own party via charm/dominate and limited it to only ONE.. It's too game breaking, he says..his idea of any caster not being game breaking is a pew pew caster....anyways..getting off topic. So here I am.. Frustrated and out of ideas for characters that I can make... We are limited to Core books and tsr supplimentals. No web. No mass charming... Melee characters can't out dps a wizard...no shape changing via polymorph or like abilities.. No racial LA above +2. The character cant be OP but I beed it to survive and be versatile. Any ideas?
