Lobo, can you give us some info on your cosmology so we have something to work with when writing our backgrounds? Things like who we work for (are we really "Mercenaries", perhaps responding to pleas for aid made via Planar Ally spells? Or are we more of a SWAT/Seal team working for some higher power?), which pantheon you're using (Greyhawk? Faerun? Something else?) and so on.

Man, coming up with encounters for high-level characters is difficult. I've never DM'd a high-level game before. BUT, that said, I do have something roughly mapped out now.

Use the Great Wheel cosmology. I don't have any of the planescape stuff, but I've played Torment (the greatest CRPG ever!!!) and I used to own the regular boxed set. It won't be planescape by the book (the cant is optional) but that's okay as I rarely run anything 'exactly' by the book.Pyrex said:
You'll be working for an independent mercenary legion that specializes in hero-type work for those who don't have local heroes.
EX: The tuna-men of the prime-world, Atun, are being plagued by a huge sea monster that they can't deal with. They put out the word and soon enough your legion gets sent out to see what they can do with it.
Everything you do is dangerous and life-threatening, but that's what being a hero is all about.As far as Pantheons go, the Great Wheel has space for all of them plus some more!
If you want to serve Ju-Ju-B, multi-colored god of tooth-decay and smiling children, feel free.

Can you let me know what the class is like (I don't have that book).Ferrix said:

I'm going home now. A 13-hour work day is enough for me (no OT... stupid salary).

What about this idea...
I'm thinking of a Half-Celestial Raptoran Cleric 7/ Skypledged 4 (Races of the Wild)
Feats specializing in footbow archery and divine metamagic (persistent)
How does that sound?
