Anything But Normal, Sailing the Endless Falls... Characters Selected!

Isida-
Yup. Well actually I was planning to use the fused aberration template from Chaositech (amazingly cool book btw) since the awaken spell only mentions animals and plants. I haven't started on any of the crunch yet though.

Could you determine an LA for a few ooze possibilities? First the really nasty one, a living spell that combines acidball (fireball with acid energy substitution) and black tentacles. Another one I'm interested in would be acidburst (fireburst with acid energy substitution from Complete Arcane). And one last living spell possibility, acid breath (3rd lvl, d6/lvl acid damage cone, printed in Magic of Faerun as Mestil's acid breath and reprinted in Spell Compendium). If none of those are feasible, an LA for the good old gelatinous cube would be helpful.


Rystil-
Oobobooboo would definitely find and intelligent shield that gave off waves of emotion fascinating. I could just see it waking Ianissa up several times a night saying, "I polish Miera now?". But since Nissa's a caster, that would be a rude thing for me as a player to do.

Voidrazor, I'm tapping the WotC boards for ooze LA possiblities. You want to tap the House Rules forum here to get some enlightened opinions?

 

[Bront]

Isida, I made a few minor revisions, adding a few extra items to the background, notes about some of his items, and an important encounter at the end. I pondered perhaps the shield being given to him by the Prince, perhaps having been crafted for him, or something something that his spirit guide lead him to, but I wasn't sure, so I figured I can leave it up to you.

 

[Bront]

Voidrazer, check out the Half-Ooze template.

I've seen another one that's a bit different out there, can't find it at the moment though.

Ah, but Miera isn't a shield--she's an amorphous living creature of water that swirls around Nissa and deflects attacks (which happens to have the same stats as a shield). So she and Oobobooboo have even more in common

Isida-
Posted. Come to think of it, maybe I should just write up my take on what the ECL 8 statistics should be and you could just appove or modify. Seems simpler than getting an LA for the base ooze, modifying it with a fusion template and then probably having to break it down into monster levels anyway.

Rystil-
Apologies for the misread. Does Meira have projective empathy? Or does she just feel the emotions of those around her?

Bront-
Thanks for the link. Interesting, the CR accounts for both base critters, but the LA is +4 no matter what the base ooze is.

Meira's got projective empathy, and she understands but cannot speak Aquan and Common (maybe later with a bit more gold she can learn to talk).

Oh, I posted a guesstimate to the thread in HR too

I thought about an intellegent item, but I already had too many voices talking to me. And so does my character.

I actually hadn't originally thought of an intelligent item, but as I started writing Miera, I realised I needed to pay for one if I wanted a little elemental. But yeah, you've got that storm spirit, right? Even between Miera and Anemone, no voices in the head, though, although Nissa can talk to Anemone with her Speak With Animals power

 

[Mad Hatter]

Isida, I'm posting my character with knowledge skills as class skills, but I'm giving up the physical skill set of the ninja such as tumble, jump, balance etc. Also, there is this feat called intuitive strike that's in the BoED that lets me use my wis mod instead of str for atks on simple weapons only, but it's an exalted feat. I don't see any real reason why it's exalted so I treated it as a normal feat.

Is that ok>
