Well, my only problem so far is that I am not sure if the DM has the same image of the Wish spell as you do, or one that I do. Either way... I guess you have a point there with the side note, but I feel this is getting close to de-railing by this part.

I think you are misunderstanding here. While my DM is ready to help me out with entering the class at a level from 7th to 10th (more likely the latter), she is probably NOT ready to give me a Wish. And even if she would, I would not want it. I am not an optimizer. She already did what no other...

I could very well see the humanoid form with a sinister glow in its eyes, the wings the way you described (dunno what inspired you with those, but it sounds a bit familiar) and a different color of skin (though that is merely optional). As for a monstrous form, I still say something similar to...

I would allow it. The only reason I really need is common sense. Same applies to the issue with the Improved Toughness feat mentioned by Sejs. I think the better question would be...why would you NOT allow it? I can understand if the player is a shameless optimizer, but even then I doubt the...

I think he/she/it would take on traits more inherent to the local beings, in terms of it's so-called "true form". Depending on the strength of the celestial, there are many possibilities. I could imagine a fallen Solar taking traits similar to that of an Ultroloth. Of course, this is assuming...

How much does a Wish cost anyway? Your tips are unorthodox, but I could imagine some DM letting that kind of stuff happen XP

I see what you did there. I did joke around about the meaning of SINGLE-HANDED and other such things. The only problem so far that I have noticed are the feat requirements of Dragonrider and Dragonslayer, which are rather nasty for Paladins. (Also, why the hell would she get a Red Dragon mount...

@OP: Just out of curiosity, do you plan to make a version of Paladin that uses stances and maneuvers as well? I just found the prospect of a Paladin with similar abilities to the Monk and Figther you had given out to be interesting, since I have gained a fondness for the Tome of Battle material...

No, my race is NOT going to be a Dragonborn. It's going to be a homebrew race that my DM has allowed. If you really want, I could link the stats. Though I don't see much of a reason to do so.

I know I am reviving the dead around here, but I got a new question while looking at my planned build a bit. Do the Aura of Courage benefits given by the Paladin's aura and the Dragonslayer's aura stack with one another? And should I bother taking Platinum Knight levels instead of Vassal of...

Okay, I've been looking at the Scout and Spellthief classes of Complete Adventurer a few times now out of curiosity (haven't seen many people play them around here where I live) and I came across two feats in Complete Scoundrel for the Scout class that seemed quite interesting flavor-wise. But...

I don't get the moral behind that story, but I always find it annoying when a DM whines about things that he could actually tweak before starting a game, such as spells, spell-like abilities and supernatural abilities. Pro-tip: A DM MUST BE PREPARED!! As a DM myself, I would give a good look...

Just a question for the OP: What exactly are you asking for in this thread? Are you just showcasing it here for feedback? Do you want comments of some other kind on this backstory, or do you have some questions related to it? Also, I find this backstory you gave here to be both hilarious and...

You could have just as well made a poll about this, but either way. I myself would allow Artificers in any campaign where their presence doesn't seem out of place. For example, I for some reason cannot vision Artificers in the Dark Sun and DragonLance settings for some reason.

Really, nobody giving comments on this? From my view, the stats do seem to be fixed into 3.5 in a reasonable manner, and I agree with your reasoning concerning the value of HD and class levels. I am not sure how the default rules handle all this, but I can safely say that a HD that gives nothing...

I would say that if you really want the players to get more attatched to their characters, you might as well throw the XP penalty away. If I were DM, I would let them ressurect without such things in the way, though I would not make it so that dying is never a problem. Last time a team I was...

I think that while you should make it more enjoyable for the whole group by setting enemies up in situations more plausible for them, you should also be careful not to make the Fighter feel discriminated. Like, if you make five encounters in a row where the Fighter is more or less useless, he...

See, this is what I meant. Some DMs, no matter what you say or do, just behave like little brats. (I have been a DM myself, mind you, and I have not ended up in these kind of situations yet. Maybe I'm lucky to have smart people as players and nobody demands anything illogical or stupid from me)...

It seems that people here have misunderstood what I said. I did not insist in the sense that I shoved my homebrews in his face. I discussed the homebrews OUTSIDE the game sessions, and tried to be as reasonable as possible while doing so. He himself never made it clear if he would allow them or...

I am not in the mood of starting an argument over the issues I had with my DM. It had more to it than simply a clash of homebrews being allowed or not in the end. And you haven't really elaborated why the DM is not obligated to such. Because really, like I said, the group at first saw nothing...
