9th level "Poseidon"

[Praline]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some help with character creation. I only own the core books, which usually is enough to get by, but I'm trying to come up with something unique for a little 3 week adventure my DM is planning. I'm trying to create a character much like Poseidon - probably a fighter who uses a trident. However, since I don't have copies of the variant books, I'm looking for magical items that would be in theme. The character is most likely to be evil, using the 32 point creation system and magic items equivilent to what a 9th level character would have.

Any advice would be appriciated, thanks in advance!

There's a 'Net and Trident' Weapon Style feat in Complete Warrior, if you can get your hands on that long enough to copy it down.

Poseidon was also the creator of horses (from sea foam, as I recall), so perhaps some mounted feats may also be of interest - a mounted warrior using a trident as if a variant of the shortspear or javelin and a net to capture that which he does not yet wish to kill. As I recall, Poseidon also had a bit of a temper (the Earth Shaker, etc) and so perhaps a few levels of Barbarian may also work well.

Perhaps 4 - 6 levels of Fighter (maxing Swim, maybe) with the remaining levels in Barbarian?
