[QUOTE="Psionicist, post: 13408, member: 1874"] [b]If you game with me then back off! This is secret info for the world, me and our regular DM[/b] Okay. In our RttToEE campaign I will either play my negotiator character, or this little fellow. Me and my DM agrees it might work, however we both agree that it's a little unbalanced. That is it's fairly weak even while he's immortal. You will understand why later :) So, we both agree he needs "something" he is good at. It cannot be combat oriented because THAT would be too powerful as he could fight and fight and never die. In fact, we've ruled he cannot fight at all but to do easly slaps and grapples. The best idea this far is to apply a level 1 commoner class then give him a decent intimidate rank as most people feel rather uncomfortable if they talk to him too much. At first glance it might seem incredible powerful to play an immortal character. And I agree it would be too powerful if you played an immortal stereotyped hero. However, this guy cannot do anything on his own except to complain and that's his charm. I've figured out that he might be abused to set off traps, if the other players are smart enough :) The easiest way to imagine this character is to think about Marvin, from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books. Any ideas how to balance this? And if you are some sort of hardcore forgotten realms guru then take the background with a pinch of salt. It's only one of all views he might think this happened. He might as well be a very tough freak! Thanks! (Phew, that's a long post) [/QUOTE]
