Hi guys was wondering if you could give me some feedback on this question i have.
Im a long time RP'er with d20 but not in PnP (mostly games using the mechanics) and i am about to run my first PnP campaign. Im famailiar with the basic rules but i dont feel that confident with them so im going to take it slow.
I have a player who wants to play a doppleganger/shifter. We've researched it and the doppleganger has a +4 lvl adjustment. We decided that he would play a rogue character for the first 4 lvls then at 5th that character would die and a doppleganger (1st lvl rogue or whatever first class he takes) would take his place in the party.
He wants to continue into a shifter but will be sacrificing those 4 lvls permanently to equalise the character with the rest of the party (and im scared about having a lvl adjusted character whose out of whack with the others).
Our idea was to in the end (at 20th) play a dopple ganger with 10lvls of shifter and 6 of rogue (or whatever other base class he takes). My question is not about making the character "uber" but i was wondering if anyone has had experience with dopplegangers in thier campaigns before and if we are blundering towawrds some huge problem later that we havnt seen yet?
Id love to keep this character idea in the campaign because we have some great RP ideas for it but for the sake of balancing (and keeping the character in check with the rest of the party) i thought it wise to check it out before hand.
Sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum welcome t move it if needed.
Thanks a ton!!
