[Helfdan]

Never mind.... this is not the post you are looking for... move along...

 

[maddmic]

so what are these races I'm seeing? I'm just wondering if I'm being left out in the cold playing a vanilla half-orc if there's other options on the table. I don't have all the books available to me, so I was curious if there was something else out there.

The troll looks like there should be an ECL associated with it unless I'm missing something...

I'm not trying to be nitpicky or anything, I'm just trying to better my character if there's a way. Please let me know what books you're allowing, or if you can see any other race that might benefit me.

Can't lose if you play a human. We rule, that's a fact.

Maddmic: Crazy Monkey is a DM on several other threads I play on. He's an excellent DM and has revised some of the savage species options so that instead of an ecl adjustment, they gain levels in thier race. Just because he's playing a troll, dosn't mean he's starting with regeneration- he's still a juvenile and dosn't get that until he's got 4 levels of troll. Within limits, he can multiclass to other player classes, but of course doing that means delaying his developement as a troll. As far as your own character goes, there is nothing wrong with him as he is. Savage species dosn't really give you an advantage over normal races, just more variety if you really want to play something wierd. It's actually kind of a hassle, because you have to make some agonizing choices about the character's developement due to the leveling race system. Basically, unless you want to be more than just the monster, you have to multiclass. Multiclassing often sucks with monsters, because you almost always end up diluting both classes. It's kind of like multiclassing a spellcaster class with something else.
I often end up playing something wierd in Monkey's games because I am old and jaded and wierd. So when he shows up wanting to play in my game (kind of an honor, actually), I am willing to work with him on using one of his custom savage species races.
Given all of that, if you still want to play one of them, I'll work with you. But, you'll have to get Monkey to write up a progression for you, and if I feel it's balanced, we'll go with it.

how about an Astral Deva Focused Conjurer? What does he conjure? celstrial dire badgers of course!

I don't have them online anywhere yet. I can either attach them here (but I only do that sparingly) or e-mail them to folks.
