Is it your DM that says you can't multiclass or is there some other reason? The restriction on paladin mutliclassing is pretty much a non factor here because the gold dragon aspect of him is compatable with the good lifestyle of a paldin, but I'd still just clear it with the DM. For example...

It works like another class. If you were that 2lvl paladin and decided to take a level in cleric, you'd be a 2Pal/1Cl and a 3rd level character overall. So when you take the third level of bloodline, you're a 2Pal/1Gold Dragon Bloodline, level 3 overall. You keep the same XP and when it hits...

Some of the keys seem awfully easy to abuse. You can shoot up the level progression faster by choosing one key and slower by another. It all seems arbitrary to me, and that has it's flavor, but it also makes it hard to be equitable to different play styles. Seems like an interesting idea, but...

Very true. But then, would that mage armor spell only be used for armor to enchant? Or would enterprising wizards put it into rings of (semi-)protection, bracers of (semi-)armor, and other items? For example, if the flaming swords and shocking hammers that are flawed could be designed by a...

That's all I'm trying to get at. If you do have justification, min/max items all you want. I just think it's a little strange to arbitrarily make one class of magic items designed with flaws and nothing else has them. And outside the box thinking is good, and what this forum's about.

Cheiromancer, I guess I'm just talking more thematics than mechanics. Why do these min/maxed weapons exist in the first place in the scope of the game's reality? Sure you can shoehorn pluses against minuses and cancel each other out. The math works. I'm stopping not to ask 'How?' but instead...

Morning Thia (OT: I posted my fire barbarian if you're interested) I understand all this, and for HRing away, I'm all for that. Coredump, if you just really feel like giving out a -1 Flaming Burst sword, just Rule 0 it, forget the character wealth chart and include it. If you like the...

This is the part I can't wrap my head around. What are the plot implications of a faulty magic item? If there are wizards screwing up magic weapons but their special abilities wash it out in the end, how come there aren't other slightly screwed up items out there? Why not potions that scare...

(Edited to reflect suggestions.) Hello yet again sports fans. In my series of elemental variant classes, I’ve drafted up a fire-oriented barbarian build. As with the paladin I made, http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=151601 and the ranger http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=152898...

Already explored those routes the best I could. I even created a Yahoo group for the local area, but it fell pretty flat when no one else checked the messages. I keep sending messages out, but not much love coming back my way. My plan was to have the Gods grant one less general spell per...

I usually stick with the convention that fire plus air equals smoke. Also, pure water can be just as deadly as pure fire. My overall associations that I use are: Water=Creation, Fire=Destruction, Wind=Change, Earth=Stability. So, for a wind based ranger, I want him to be fast and fluid as his...

Yeah, I knew there were less substanstive differences between here and a standard ranger than there were for the paladin conversion. Part of that was there were more abilities in the base paladin to swap out logically. I didn't mean to make the air rangers completely lightning kaboom, because...

I'm not positive yet I will go with just aboleths. There are tons of nasty aquatic/water baddies: krakens, aboleths, sahaugins, black dragons, merrows, skrag, skum, etc. Any of these could profit from the goody-goody paladins being distracted by fire baddies while they raid the coastal towns...

One way available to them by the RAW is to release their current one when they change environments and perform the ritual to call a new one. There's nothing illegal about that. Now if they would keep any improvements gained from the ranger leveling is a different question.

As an option, you could give her something like a viper snake, letting her build familiarity with the "genus" so to speak, then she could just switch between water moccasin, to adder, to rattlesnake, or whatever's appropriate for the terrain. There are some animals that have multiple versions...

I'm with Thia on this. I really like the thought train you've got here Kisanji, I just may have to tweak it. In the end, I want a balanced core class. There are still "vanilla" rangers in the world, and I don't want these guys overshadowing them, just taking a wind-flavored route to being a...

I intended to do my best on that point. I recognized there was potential for that, so i was considering ways to avoid that. For example, as the paladins set out to go crusade in the Fire Realms, I'll leave it up to the PCs if they want to tag along. If they smell something fishy, they could...

Also, I've posted my air variant ranger, the windstalker, on the boards: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=152898 Nyaricus and Thia, when you get a chance take a look. It's less fleshed out than this paladin, but I like the overall concept, just need to work on it. Thanks again everyone.
